Republican press has either been silent or as a

Leader. The Columbian, the central organ of the
party at Columbus refers to the subject, in n SINH.

Ihe Democrats however, Legisl ltors and Editors,
have been inspired by the memorial with n perfect
Juror OF patriotism. Aware that all the generous

Republican party on these questions. This dis
union memoria! has been therefore n God-send to
them. They charge it all upon the innocent Re
publicans, who for no consideration would originate
or prosecute a disunion measure. The Statesmen
says:
"As much MS this extraordinary memorial may
startle the people of Ohio, who have been slumber-
ing IN supposed security, never dreaming that the
ma linen were preparing fol the last coup. dc ctat.

meut, if the lunatic is not tied with thongs. he has
got to struggle on until exhausted.

made by Senator Wade, at Portland, Maine, last
summer, is seriously talked Of for still further pro-
motion, what may we not expect? These Colnm.
Diana TRAITORS to their government are not u whit
behind Wade himself, who holds the important
position of Senator of this State at Washington.
A more outlawed traitor to the government that

The Ohio Patriot cries:
"DISUNION-TREASON."

The petition was read and referred to a Com.

are correct when we say that every one connected
with getting up of his traitorous document, voted
last fall for Chase and the Fusion ticket.
This is another beautiful specimen of Fusion

The Patriot is utterly incorrect in its statement
relative to the votes of those who got up the trait.

had anything to do with it,"
The remarks OF Mr.. Hunter which the Patriot
fortunes into friendship to Disunion, are only a
declaration that the Southern disunionists and the
Democracy will very likely enter into
a fusion and dissolve the Union. Mr.. Hunters re-
marks as quoted by the Patriot are as follows:
He was in favor of the motion to refer, for the
reasons assigned by speakers who had preceded
him. Though the petition had been read twice, it
was not quite understood by the. House. 1t ask
ed that the petitioners be heard by counsel at the
oai OF the House and it was intimated, that Wen
Tell Phillips of Boston, was to be their counsel. =

ome when it would be dissolved. The Disunion- !
of the South backed by the Northern Democ- !
acy, would recede, and thus dissolve the Union" ,
We think Mr.. Hunter is probably nearly right.
These Pierce Democrats are so infatuated in their /
to Shareholders and 50 habituated to "
he support of Slavery, that noisily as they curse
Northern Disunionists, they would not unlikely
han abandon their work of pandering to Slavery. d
