The Philadelphia Ledger, in an article enti.
tied "What Preserves the Union" says, with
truth and force, that "the Union rests upon
this great natural and eternal law, that every
legitimate interest is better promoted by its
preservation, while no substantial good could
arise from its severance" This 10 utilisarian
rather than patriotic age, and the fact men,
toned weighs doubtless heavily in the es!ima-
ton Of all rejecting men. If the Northern
agtators could persuade the people in that sec-
ton Of the country to dissolve the Union tn ey
would, in pecuniary, financial and business
point Of view, rue the day that aboli.ionisn
ever obtained foothold among them, and
tempted them 10 their own destruction.
