| There can be no government, where there is
no unity of parties reaching all the people. The
moment the people divide into sections, they d.
vide the governmental into sections. The moment
the people vote sectonally, they act sectionally-
and sectonalism is the very opposite of unity and
union. TO make two people Of one people is The
inevitable resnlto a Northern or Southern party.

is not true what United States Senator Wade said
in his Portland speech, viz:

one of those who dare speak what | believe-l be-
leve that there no t,oo nations on earth, not
even the Russians and The English at this day,
who athedn feel more enmity towards each other
than the mc,. Of the North and the South"
| The lie is monstrous one, and as unpatrotc,
disloyal and reasonable as it is monstrous. We
are one people, with one language, from one COM
same heart, coursing through the same hereditary
veins. Our fathers came here together-swcpt
off the wilderness together-advanced this gov
ernment together-fought together-bled togeth-
cr. We married and ntermarried together
and we cannot part but in oceans of blood, to be
poured out in civil wars, the like Of which the
world never saw. Nay, amid all our differences,
people we yet love each other, and would die
for each other; and "enmity" exists only in the
bOSOms of fanatics madmen. Or fools
YELLOW FEvEB.-Dr. Mott, of Mobile, in let
ter published in the Intellgencer, thus treats of
the yellow fever:
LIST. It's Origim.-Whether this epidemic was
really imported from Africa or not, is a point
which cannot be- settled from any data yet made
public, and shall not offer you any speculatons
on IL. One fict, however, is certain that this
disease has travelled steadily on since its first APP
pearance in Rio Jancro Ave years ago along the
Caribbean Gulf and the Atlantic coasts until it
has at length reached Norfolk. No mortal OF our
day is endowed with the spirit of prophecy; but
still we can often, from the lights of history and
observation, predict with tolerabe certainty com
ing events and it was on such data that ven-
tured TO oretell that yellow fever would go as far
as Norfolk, which is about the boundary of the
yellow fever latitude and also suggested the strong
probability that it would visit our Northern cities
where it does occur at long intervals. Now, the
grounds upon which made these predictions were
as follows:
Yellow fever has at long intervals, not only in
the Mediterranean, along the Spanish and French
coasts, but in the United States, (about fifty years
ago. taken on this travelling character. About
the time alluded to yellow fever extended from
Southern ports to Norfolk, and thence to Win

York, and thence TO Catskil on the North river,

in question had steadily progressed for three years.
from Rio to Mobile and on to Key West and
with all these facts before me, did not hazard
much in predicting that It's progress was onward
in the direction it had been travelling
Igps Of the DiSeass.-Few men in the United
States have seen more of yellow fever than have,
and have no hesitation in saying that this is sub
stantially the same disease as the yellow fever
which occurred in Philadelphia in 1898, and which
had appeared from time to time since. II is the
fact with typhoid fever, cholera, plague, scarlet
fever, smallpox, and all epidemic Diseases that
they appear in different grades Of violence at diff
ferent times, and occasionally have a greater ten
dency to travel over large extent of country
This has been the case with the yellow fever in
question; but its mode of attack, Its course Of
symptoms, including yellow skin and black vomit,
its average duration, &c, are the same rs other
yellow fevers, and, though it may have been some
what more virulent, it is still the same disease.
ContdgioMsness.-Thi is a knotty point, and |
have not space to do more than express my con-
illusions Under the term contagion are com.
pounded two distinct questions, viz, contagious
ness proper, or the communication directly Of ycl.
low fever from one human subject to another
and, secondly the portability of the cause or germ
by vessels from one port to another. Although
my mind leans at present towards belief in the
contagiousness Of this disease in certain instances,
! still doubt and my judgment is in suspense but
with regard to its portability by vessels from place
to place and by railroads, | do not see how any
human being familiar with its history can doubt,
aud should advise our Northern friends to quar-
antne rigidly against it. The disease has gone 10
