The question Of Union or Dsmion is dis
tinctly proposed to the people of the United
States by the Convention which is to rcassemble
in a few days at Philadelphia. We know that
there is an assumed insensibility and Indifference
among certain of our people to this question:
They treat disunon as the cry of ''wolf" by the
boy in the fable, which has been so often raised
that it now falls upon listless ears This atfif-
ference has grown into habit of treating the
We y idea of disnion as poor joke. f5
An audacous demagosue has declared That a
certain section Of the Contederacy could not be
Kicked out of the Union 1t is a cowartlly and
unmanly heart, that could conceive and utter
such thought; it is a base ard ill=regalatel
mind that cod find anything ofiocularity I'M the
idea of adSsoution of thisConft telacy. The true
citizen of this Republic, and lover Of the Con
sttution, regards and approaches such question
with awe and anxiety. He does not think SO
meanly ofany section or class Of cur people IS
to suppose that they would submit to any insult
degradation or oppression rather than recede
from the Union. On the contrary, he assures
us that his brethren in the Union arc Americans
in spirit, character and courage, "who Knows
their rights and Knowing dare mlintain" Hs'a
None but ufpiircipled testers, frivolous mis-
chief makers, and cowardly demagogues reckless
youths, like the mailman who fred Ephesian
dome, indulge in such thoughts and utterances
as we hear daily from the mouths Of tile Black
Rpublican dcmagogues. Fh' st aaa" 74a.i
Assuming that the great mass Of our people
of all classes love this Union and desire its con-
tinuance and pefpetuity, we submit to their calm
consideration the consequences, which now i'm
pend over this Contederacy from the persistence
in the sectional organization which will be rep
resented at Philadelphia We address them as
practical men. aif#
That Convention will represent Only one sec
tion Of the Union. There will be no persons
there who will have the shadow of right to
represent fiftecnof the States of this Union. L
Its candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pres
idency will be the candidates exclusively of SIX
teen Of the States, of section of the Union
against the other states and section The con
testfor the Chief Executive Of this Union will,
therefore, for the first time in our history, be-
come an exclusively sectional one. It has never
before occurred that enc section Of the Union
has thus combined for trial Of votes and power
against another section, for Che avowed object
Of overcoming and subduing i'll We will not
undertake to predict Of describe Whist would bo
the consequences Of the success 81 such party.
The existence Of the Union in such an event
would be an impossibility. There would no
longer be a Republicof Sovereign States. The
power would be lodsedexclusivclyin certain of
the States. The Others would have no lot or
part in the Government. Y They would, consiis

been permitted to take part.
