There are people in the South, and great
many of them, who think there are greater
evils than the DISSOLUTION of the Union. While
they are ready to concede that tho Union is
the source Of many blessings, they know that
far the greater portion of those blessings have
fallen north Of Mason and Dixon's line, and
the chief burdens have been endured by the
South -R,chmond Wig.
Such are our sentiments Recognising as
we do the numerous and striking benefits Of
union, We know there arc greater. There are
greater blessings than commercial prosperity,
greater than wealth, greater than influence,
greater than position, greater than peace. We
are among those also who believe that there
are greater OWLS than dissolution and pre- emf
nent among these il q tame submission 10 the
tyranny OF men, who, with philanthropy on
their lips and treachery in their hearts, tram
Pile wantonly on our most sacred rights and
privileges one moment, and call Heaven to wit
ness the purity OF their intentions the next.
