it is quite rarity to witness the asowal OF
an ordinary national political sentiment. This
feeling prompts US TO celebrate and TO copy,
for the admiration Of our national readers,
the aunexed remarks from Southern Demo
cratic Buchaaaa journal, which has had the
;ndsnendence to condemn the mischieyous
habit which the fanatics of each section have
fallen into Of threatening to subvert the Gov
eminent, and bury The whole country under
its rGins, If the antagonist party should
succeed in siecting their candidate to the
Presidency. We are glad to be able 10 re-
produce remarks so sound and iudiclous from
the particular source where we find them,
and the more so as they do bat inculcats, in
tone Of pleasantly, sentiments which We
have ourselves lately undertaken 20 enforce.
Such opinions. avowed by a Southern locrnal

pending on the result Of the approaching Pre-
sident,al election. The idea Is too monstrous
for grave argument. and Is indeed hardly

make the existence of the Government de-
pendent upon the result of regular period
ical election, would be reducing our institu'
tons to the level aud the precarious tenure
of Mexican or Buenos Ayrean pronuncla-
miento. But the men who laid the inunda-
firms of the Constitution, and Of the Union
which rests upon it, knew what they were
about, and laid them too deep TO he shaken
or subyerted BY any tempest OF party passion
or transient excitement. This glori"us Union
has stoo, firm during sixty years, and with
the blessing Of Heaven. it will stand firm
sixtv wears longer. though the Washington
Union and its mislrl coniederates should
live all the time TO predict its downfall.

for quarter Of century have constituted a

observe a uniformity as strict as that which
governs those Of eclipsrs and comets, or rath-
er, in the language Of medical men, they ex-
hbit periodieity something like that which
regulates the march Of cholera or any other
yagrant epidemic in its fearful progress
