in reality it died when it's great nj.
thor departed this life in 1850.
But the iuefable meanness and
snbservlcncy of the Northern black
Democratic leaders to the South. are
shown in their willingness TO peddle
about and retuil nt secund-hand this
manuiactured-to-order, worn .out cry
oi dlsuoion. The Union has been
dissolved at least a score Of times
within our recollection, and vet il is
to-day stronger in resources. in all
that goes TO mike up nations
greatness, in the love and devotion
Of the people, than at any period in
us past history.
These demagcgues know how
strong and abiding that love and de-
volion is, and ovlnce their knowl-
edg by appealing to the very excess
OF that passion, as it were, to accom-
Plush Their own hagilious purposes.
They think because they have prac-
iced 80 long upon the generous fer
vor which our people possess, for
Their common country, that they can
again succeed by attempting the
same game. The man or set of
men, who seek 10 take advantage of
such ardent attachment, such strong
affection. would prostitute virtue up
on the ultar of lust, religion at he
shrine Of aposlacy, and would barter
Heaven itself for thirty pieces Of
SILVER"
But turning aside from the con
duct Of these Northern political
huoksters, let US inquire who are the
dlsunIonisis--ihose who have avow-
ed their wish, their aspirations for
observation-disclosures who have threat
ened It as Il penalty for disobedence
on the part of the North to the high
behesls Of the South Are those
who have thus spoken the friends of
Mr.. Fremont or OF Mr.. Buchanan
Most assuredIy, they are the friends
of the latter. Senator Brown OF
Mississippi who is now the ardent
friend and supporter Of Mr.. Buchan-
an, who goes home to stump Missis-
slppi lor hlm, declared, six years a.
go:
"lf the Wilmot Provisu is adopt,
ed, it will raise a storm that will
sweep away this Union, and 1 pray
God deUoutLy 10 1oiH do 50"
II will be observed that this de-
voted partisan of Buchanan is dis
unionist con amore. He not only
believed that the passage of the Viii
mot Proylso would raise storm
which would sweep away the Union,
but he prayed Gud that il might be
so, for he desired the UnIon to be
dissolved from any cause whatever.
A Southern ShnmocraIic Congress
sional caucus, in lSl9, resolved
"'rhat the dissolution OF the I'm
ion Is preferable to the submission Oi
the South to the Wilmot Proviso."
Evety man who was present when
that Infamous resolution was adopt
ed, and who is now living, is warm
friend to Buchanan. Within a short
period, the Charleston Mercury, the
acknowledged organ of Mr.. Buchan-
an IN the kingdom OF South Caroli-
na, has SAID:
"Tbefe is not a single public man
10 her limits, not one Of her present
Representatives or Senators IN Con-
gtess, who Is not pledged to the hps
Ia favor Of dlSunlon. Indeed, we
well remember that one Of the most
prominent leaders Of the corporation
party, when iauuted with submission,
rebuked the Ihoul hi by say ing, that
IN opposing secession, lie only took n
slep backward, TO strike blow more
deadly against the Union"
Now, whence come dlsunlon SEN
lmenls From the Shamocracy or
from the Republicans? We think
the evidence submitted shows that
the whole Southern half of the
Shamocraiic party are "sieeped 10
the lips" in disunlon and SO Intense
I " SouthernIzed have the Northern
= leaders of that party become, ,ha, wa
doubt not they will ere long begin 10
, exhib, disunion fantasies, even here
r ~ the North. If they do, they
E should hang, if there is any hemp

n But we treat this disunlon dodge
with too much consideration. IL is

g ulous. We are compelled, from the
infinite scorn we feel Tor this whole
c race Of demagogues, from Stephen
d. A. Douglas down to the iIinerant a

1 our own State, to impale the precious
set OF rascals who utter it, for the
