Beautiful Contrast.
LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.

August, that "nothing remained for that gentle
(Mr Cobb, of Georga) but to draao marginal lines
of black around the constitution and tcrde 'erpunged
ucross its pages" Mr.. Cobb's rebuke of the re-
voting sentiment was one of the noblest bursts
of patriotic eloquence that ever honored the
halls of Congress- He said "SW, he a0ho IS pre-
pared for the damnaJte deed may perform IT. IL Is
no part of my duty, and finds no response in my
heart. prefer to guard and protect from the
assaults of treason and fanacim this sacred legacy
from our revolutionary fathers" 1t appears from
the following which we clip from the Bangor
(Me.) Democrat, that the process of erpung'ng has
already been applied by Mr.. Comins's party in
Maine to the glorious flag of our country:
DIsuN1oNrsM.- Hannibal Hamlin, Lot NJ. Nor
rill, and Charles Goddard, Esq, Of Danvilie, ad-
dressed Fremont meeting at Norway on Mon
dav, standing under an American flag, on which
were only sirteen tars!-Democratic AdUocdte.
The dsunion flag, with sixteen stars only, still
continues to float across the public highway in
this village-an emblem of sectionalism, aud a
disgrace to the party who placed it thcre.-Nor-
sCay ADVERTISER
The Portland State of Maine has hung out
Fremont and Dayton flag, on which are only
sixteen stars.
A salute of sixteen guns was fired at Port
land the day Hamlin was nominated.
Only sixteen States were represented in the
convention which nominated Fremont and Day
ton.
1t will be remembered by those who attended
the Democratic meeting here in Nevada, on
Wednesday evening last, that Mr.. Long III the
progress of his remarks, exhibited map of the
United States, printed and published by this
"black line" party, upon which the Southern
States were blackened over and obliterated,
while the Northern States were represented in-
carnardined in deep red.
These are significant signs of the disunion
tendencies and feelings of the black republicans.
They scarcely take any pains to disguise their
hostility to the Union. Let those who love their
country and desire to perpetuate the Union,
ponder these things, and then do their duty
But there is other proof of this design to sew
er the Union, which comes in the most practi-
cal shape 'The English papers have full reason
for their confident pred Lotion Of the dissolution
of these States. We here publish the incipient
stages of this dissolution Fremont movement
which we find in the Rochester IN. " Union.-
Read it and blush for the traitors that are not
only in our midst but who have boldly put for

TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Oh
THE UNITED STATES.
"TEe undersigned citizens and Inhabitants Of
State of-regpecglLy submit to Congress:
THAT as, in the nature of things. antagonists
cal principles, interests, pursuits, and institu-
! tions can never unite:
"That an experience of more than three score
years having demonstrated that there can be
no real union between the north and south, but,
on the contrary, ever increasing the alienation
and strife, at the imminent hazard of civil war,
in consequence Of their conflicting views, in re-
lation to freedom and slavery:
THAT the south, having declared it to be not
only her right and purpose to eternizc her slave
system where it now exists, but to extend ii
over all the territories that now belong, or may
hereafter be annexed to the republic come
what may; and having outlawed from her soil
the entire free colored population of the north,
made it pcrlous for any northern white cit zen
to exercise his constitutional right Of freedom
of speech in that section of the country, aud
even in the national capital, and proclaimed
hostility to all free Institutions universally:
1--WE, therefore, believe that the time has
come for a new arrangement of elements so hos
tile, of interests so irreconcilable, of Institutions
so incongruous; and re earnestly request Congress
at its present session to take such itatory me1Sure
for the speedy peaceful, and equitable dissolution OF
the eristing Union as the ergecies Of the case require
Leaving the south to depend upon her own re-
sources and to take all the responsibility, Ill the
maintenance ofhe slave system, and the north
to organize an Independent government in ac-
cordance with her own ideas Of justice and the
rights of man."
The editor Of the Union very properly says:
"We ask the reader to note list of Senators
and Representatives to whom these petitions are
d rected to be sent: Seward, Wade, Hale, vii

NOW LOOK ON THIS.
Indiana has been set down as q doubtful State
and hence great exert!ons are making there by
both parties but perhaps greater by the demo
Gratis than the opposition. At Connerville, ir
the eastern part of the State ON the 7th of Aug
the Democrats made grand demonstration
and it is reported that 10000 persons were pres
ent at their Convention. We give the follow
ing account of their meeting from the Cincin
natl Enquirer, that our readers may see how
politics are carried on at the West:
1.-THE editor of the Enquirer counted thirty-twC
hickory wagons averaging sixty or seventy fee
long, built of large hickory logs-all filed will
young lades-all dressed IN white red and blut
and their hair decorated with flowers and ever

thirty-one grls--and lovely, rosy. bright-eyed
happy girls they were-representng the State
