SPINNER THREATENS REv0LUTIoN.-PARSoN
BEECHER SECONDS THE MOTION.

GensraI Simmer the republican nominee for a re-eec-
ton to Congress in the Herkmer and ST. Lawrence dis
rct has more remedies than for what he deems the
disorders of the republic In the first place he goes for
abolishng the United States constitution and making
new one more accordance with his crude ideas Of pot
ica science He utterly discards Washington Madison
and the other fathers Of the republic old oges and Of
fes to the people his wisdom in
in place OF the work Of these venerable men.
But to abolish the constitution and make one
may be work Of time and the impatient Mr. Spinner
therefore proposes more speedy remedy He demands
a revolution in Fremont is not elected Hear him
Should this fail true would be any longer safe
here from the assault of the arrogant slave ogarchy who
would then rule with iron hand For the free North
would then be left the choice Of peaceful dssoinon Of
The Union evI phieh Woud end IN the sdms, an
unconditional surrender Of every principle held dear by
freemen"
1t win thus be seen that in Of Mr. Buchanan
election Mr. Spinner considers that the free North has
only three ways open for IL:
l. A peaceful dissolution OF the Union.
= A civil war ending In dissolution Of the Union.
HAn unconditional surrender Of every principle bed
dear by freemen"
As cannot be presumed that Mr. Spinner fvors the
latter We may Of conclude he intends adopt the
former OF these desperate alternatives He WH for eir
War and a di,,Olution Of he Union If Fremont Is not
elected.
Perhaps the reader will think that this threat OF a re-
publican member Of Congress the raving Of crazy
fanatic But Mr. Spinner Is not alone In bis disunon and
revolutionary views He type Of large class Of poll
tcians Of the Fremont school, To show this let quote
the language of the New York independents religious O
journal-for which Rev. () Henry Ward Beecher is a
leading writer. That paper says:
'The people win not levy inaugurate revou-
ton even relieve Kansas until they have first tried what
they can do by voting ff this peaceful remedy should
fail to be applied this year. then The people WiH the
issly and decide for hs,sipe. boldly and firmly phch !,
he better Voy 10 rice IN and 1roV Of 0opsrnmen
porss than that Of old King George, endure another
four years and then pots again"
Here Is direct recommendation TO the republicans in
case they fail elect Fremont TO deliberate and decd,
whether they viii rebel against the present federal govern
ment and throw of" Its authority viii take their
chance at another presidential election We must have
patience with these traitors Our fathers would have hung
them tories upon the next tree But the safety Of the
country does not the present time require such
