TIE AMERICAN UxIos.-It is interesting
and instructive, in recurring to our past ma.
tional history, to note the various predic.
tons which have been made Of dissolution
of the Union, not by ignorant and heated
partlsans, but by eminent American states.
men. Mr.. Jefferson had apprehensions of
this character during Joha Adams admins.
tration, and Mr.. Adams, in turn, INDUCED
similar fears during NJ. Jeffersons presi.
dency. Many considered the Union in preut
danger during the war Of 1912, and the con.
nection OF Mr.. Madison with the Irish swind.
Ter, John Henry, who was paid $50, 900 by
the President to expose movement in New
England for "Northern Confederation"
attests to the fears of the administration at
that period. The Hart ford Convention in
1914, was by many regarded as the COM
mencement OF movement to separate the
States. In 1870, during the sgiiations in
cident on the Missouri question, Mr.. Clay
and many others expressed fears ofimpend-
ing danger to the Union. The notification
times, during the presidency of Gen. Jack
son, are not yet forgotten by large numbers
still in active life. The mission of Gen.
Scott to South Carolina political divis.
ions between the Nullifers and the Union
party, and the grounds taken by the former
class, are now matters Of history. The more
recent movements OF the secessionists in
the Southwestern States, and the threats
uttered during the brief career Of President
Taylor by Fire-eaters, are yet fresh in the
public mind.
We believe it 10 be fact, that through
all the agtatons above named, the Union
sentiment has been gaining strength with
the great mass Of the pc ople throughout the
country These political .empests have
served to deepen the national feeling on
this question. and, acting in harmony with
the great agents OF modern civilization-the
unity of language, the common historical
recolec,ions, and other potent agencies in
the republic, give vitality and insure per-
manence to the Federal Union. We be-
lieve there is no sentiment more deeply
rooted in the hearts Of the people of this
country, than a love for and attachment to
the Union,-that to-day the Union is strong.

Private in its character, the seal Of conf
dencc must not be broken, and the public
may not see it. Breathing noble and lofty
. ointment, pure as the soul Of their gifted
authoress, inculcsting truly Christian spir-
it, and so child-Kke and uns,uded in the
sweet simplicity of its utterance, that letter
is one whic the recipient may cherish for
ever. The ISLANDERS sometime since in cir
cula,ion relating TO difficulties between her
self and husband, are most satisfactorily re-
futCd by the true aud womanly affection
v hich marks all her alu.ons TO him in the
letter. They, or rather her husband, has
been carrying out her plans for the estab-

her first born, claims the loving eulogy of q
mother. AT once touching for its beauty of
expression and depth OF sentiment. Mr..

this town OF some months, are both remem-
bered by orr citizens with warm interest.
