THREATS OF DIsUNIoN.

, No sign Of the times is moro pregnant will
lmeanng or marks more clearly the great change
the Northern mind is undergoing than the laugf
Iof derison with which it meets Southern threats
of disruption of the Union. An illustration Of tht
truth of this statement may be found in late
issue of the HerdJ3 Of this city. The Louisville
Journal declares that if the North persists IN Its
present movement; to purify itself Of dough
| heads and traitors" and to resist the encroach
ments of the slave power, the south will secedc
from the Gnionl Under the old regime OF politics
the Herald would have exerted its influence to
soothe the pctulence and calm the anger OF the
Journal by meekness and concession. But now 1t
fatty tells that print that the South may dissolve
the Union just as soon as they please, that the
fighting motto Of the North is more Slave States,
lnO more Southern aggrossions, no more compro-
misses, that henceforth the North will hcw up to
the line, let chips fly where they may, that eff the
South intend to withdraw they will save time and
trouble by going nor" That she has yelled
'bcar' one time too often to frighton the free
States" The Herald adds, that it is prepared
to burg party lines deeper than plummet ever
sounded" fer the purpose of arresting the fearful
encroachments Of the slave power which aims at a
total subversion Of our Republican institutions
This spirit now animates the hearts Of the mass of
Northern conservatives. The South has wrung its
last concession from the North by the threat Of
dissoving the Union. The North has submitted
to its last humiliation. Hdnceforth it will demand
a restoration of its pilfered rights, Indemnity for
the past and security for tho future 1t will begin
by 'burying party deeper than plummet ever
sounded" it will organize an army for freedom
irresistible the surge of the old ocean, and nu-
merous and sawart us the trees of its forests; 1t
will purge its borders of poltroons and punish its
perfdious traitors; it will restore the of JEFF
iersonian democracy and assert the principles of
tho constitution, guaranteeing the blessings OF lib
erty to every man. II the south is unwilling to
remain in the Union, with this programme for the
future she is at liberty to pick up her baggage
and withdraw from the firm, and "she will save
time by going now" The slave breeding aristoc-
racy have had their day Of rule; in the future the
people will assume the sccptre. The government
has been administered for the exclusive benefit of
hucksters in human flesh for half a century. Let
the sturdy yeomanry handle the reins during tho
residue of this century Our grandchildren will
determine who shall rule in the next.
With the dissolution of the Union, should such
a thing be possible, will come the Annexation OF
the Canadas to the Free States, and the speedy
loyerthrow of slavery in the seeding States, ant
their rapid remuneration to the new Democratic
Republic. The execution of the threat Of the
man stealing aristocracy, would make freemen oi
their property" and equals of their white serfs,
crushed and smothered under their iron despotism.
The North have always been the conseryators OF
Slavery. The moment their support is withdrawn
the shackles will begin to fall and the dignity of
labor and rights of man will assert their right
throughout the wide slave cursed South.-LeQder.
