and destroying the party, and to insist upon
a union Of the South in favor Of a measure
which tho whole North rejects, is to insist
upon taking preliminary step towards DIS
solution Of the Federal Union.
We pass over the idle threat of srunqualiied
detestation, and a withdrawal OF the social
or political confidence of Southern men, de-
nounced upon those who discourage that union
of the South, " which, in our Judgment would
lead to a most dangerous sectional contest
We shall act our destined part, in opposing
every scheme which may tend Ito ALLEVIATE one
portion Of the country from the rest I" and if
in this we incur anathemas and maledctions,
they will but nerve US for stronger effort to
maintain, undiminished and intact this glorious
heritage, the union Qfthsse States!
We have long known there were men at
both extremes of the country, who desired
that this Union should be annihilated, if,their
own peculiar notions on slavery could not be
made TO predominant in the national councils,
but we had hoped, and still hope, their num-
beers are few and their influence circumscribed
within narrow bounds.
We are yet unwilling to believe that those
who represented the American party ofsVir-
ginia on the occasion Of adopting the resolu-
tons now under notice, really meant what the
language they have used plainly imports, to
wit: tho formation Of a Southern party, Dho
aoill hare no association, social or political"
Nth those 0Ao dissent from tho policy Of the
18th section Of tho Philadelphia platform.
II such be their intent and If such "union
Of the South" be contaminated, the American
party, as such, must be from that moment dis
solved, --co-operation between the Northern
and Southern Americans" becomes impossi-

ton are, for the present. blasted, land foreign

MELANCHOLY PRrsENrIMKNT OF DEATH BY A
You've LADY OF KINDERHooK, New York, AND
ITS SAD FULYILMESr.--We have to record most
melancholy instance of the power of hsllucnation
over the mind and health, in the person of high
ly respectable and intelligent young lady Of Kin.
derhook, in this State, who some two years since,
while in the enjoyment of robust health, was Wis
tied one night at her bedside Gas she affirmed at
the time) by san appariton, who, in solemn &C.
cent informed her that at the age of eighteen she
would be an inhabitant Of another and better
world. She made the incident known to her
mother, who vainly endeavored to erase the cir
cumstance from the mind Of her daughter by
treating it as the hallucination of dream. The
daughter, however, averred that she was in pos
session Of her faculties and wide awake at the
time Of receiving the spiritual visiter; and such
was the effect Il had upon her mind, that, girl
full Of life and glee, she became thoughtful and
served, and gradually sank under lis depressing
influence, .pining gradually, until she became
tenant Of the graveyard just as she was entering
her eighteenth year.--Kinderhook Rough Notes.
