The daily union., 1856-10-22

The "rePabhedns propose Dissolution Of The Union they
cannot secure MeT Uishes WthoA.
1t enrey certain that the changes demanded cannot
be secured by an amendment OF the constitution The
ouly alternative is dissolution. They must abandon
their objects and purposes the Union This has
been openly avCwed Petitions have been presented to
Congress for "an immediate dissolution Of The Union"
Speeches in Congress and in conventions and sermons
from the pulpit have proceeded upon that ground and
you hear il at the of the streets Even those who
dsavow that intention insist upon accomplishing what
be done in other possible way. They insist that
slavery shall be abolished This cannot be effected by the
forms Of the constitution by peaceful means where II
exists the States Mr. Spinner does minee the mat
ter He says il beaten the election or the free North
would then be left the choice Of peaceful dissolution Of the
Union, cip Wav ohieh could end in the same" He
incautousy speaks what others hint at and more
wish. That dissolution by neans-volent if neces
sary--is intended, forced to believe.

The abolition of slavery it is rcd will cure all the
existing evils and to accomplish this the republicans
propose 10 -esrroy the Union. How will this annhilate
@.avery If the Union is overhrowp and the free States
go by themselves and organize conederacy, it is
clear that the small States will not surrender their rights
under the senatorial basis although all might be Free But
would any State that the national government
should regulate its domestic institutions But II all these
things should be adjusted would not slavery remain in
tue slave States How could be abolished there with
out the consent of those States The new conederacy
could not force them to join it, legslate for them
They would remain separate States form another
federacy leaving each State free tolerate or not its
present institutions Would the freeState conederacy
and fight the other because slavery existed therein
If So how far from home would go and fight berate
saves--to South America aud the East and West indies
aud Russia Unless they left their confederacy to
punish the errors of Others, slavery would still remain
where it exists Would they adopt Mr. Spinnes rem
edy when he says, II ant in aror Of abolishg The negro
race as far as is practicable and thus put an end to
slavery " Would he not find the whole of the other
federacy, including the slaves themselves opposed to
this remedy I What would the clergy and the hui
people in the other conederacy say to this mode
OF extermnating evil But how otherwise could it
be extinguished? Thinking men must adopt the con-
cusion that the evil of slavery be eradcaed where
exists by dissolution of the Union What then can be
gained by dissolution Nothing Two Unions instead
of one would produce but little effect except double the
number of high officials and thus accommodate more po-
tical aspirans This all that either would gain Docs
rejecting who weighs this subject believe that
dissolution of the Union would abolish slavery in the slave
Staes2 Testing it practically, arrive such
conclusion No earthly good, but many evils would re-
suit from it.
Would serUile abolish slapery uhere now erissp
1t is often said that servile war by the slaves would
set them at liberty 1t is true that if they should kill all
the whites they would then have masters That such
war would be likely to annhilae one of the races is
hardly doubted Is there question as TO which race
would be doomed to this sad ate-the one with uteli-
gence science organization and means the other with
out either having only physical strength If the latter
should succeed what would be their condition. Mr. Blair
has told u.s. II defeated Mr. Spnners remedy would be
practically applied Can any lover of the human race wish
to see war of determination waged against either race
Is there Christian who praying his God can plead for
such an occurrenceH Which would he pray to have
extermnated Should we profit by either and which and
how2 Does "republcanism" tend to such awful ends
Would they be preferable those which now exist under
the constitution
Have you reflected upon Tie consequences Of DsunioaP
All south Of the northern couederacy would be FOREIGN
country whittier debtors and rogues could fee as they
do to Europe. Everything taken to or from thence
would be subject to duty The boundary line would
would encounter the expenses and difficulties as in
passing to and from Europe Free intercourse would
Mails might not be exchanged Steamers and cars
must stop at the boundary line baggage be examined and
passports shown In of each confederacy must
bear Its burdens and fight its own battles and in
stead Of great nation with large commerce and navy
commanding respect there would be two inferior ones
neither which would be feared for its strength or ad-
mired for Its abundant real greatness The
which led the would long perpetuate
angry and unknd feelings treblng the difficulties
Of national intercourse probably embrong us in euds
and wars. And what would be gained Nothing save |
few places for politicians Slavery and The other
evils complained OF would still remain without the ameli
oratons naturally resulting from the frequent and unre
strained intercourse enjoyed between the free and
slave States Let of intelligence reflect calmly upon
dsunion md then they will shrink from as from the
touch Of scorpion. greater evil could befal

traitors the best and dearest interests Of our coun
