DR. KING AGAIN PREACBING.-A letter from
Athens, dated the 7th of March, says that, thanks
to the perseverance of Mr. Pryor, our Minister to
Greece the claims of the veteran missionary the
Rev. DR. King, against the Government of that
country, had not only been admitted, but the mo-
ney had actually been paid to him, and he contin-
ued to preach without molestation. This of course
satisfactorially disposes of what at one time as
sumed quite serious aspect.

Equality or DisuniOn.

The coming election will decide wheth-
er our confederacy will exist much longer
OF not. If a majority Of the e ectorial
votes are cast for the principles Of the
Democratic party, then our Union will
continue its existence; if, however, a
majority of such votes are CAST for the
principles Of the Black Repubhcan party,
then, of course, the Union will be imme-
diately dissolved. And why will it be
dissolved? Simply because our Union
is Union of Sovereign States, on terms
equality, and whenever a major
ity attempts to deprive the minority Of
their equality in the Union, the minority
will at once separate from such majority.
Equality or disunion, say the South
our rights We shall have in the Uuion or
else we willdissolve tive will not con-
tinue part ership which depriyes us Of
our Just rights. We went into the com
pact upon terms Of equality, md if we
are denied that equality, We will dissolve
the compact. We love and cherish the
Union as it was and as it should be-a
Union granting equal and the same rights
to each and all the States-but a Union
granting privileges to the North and de,
nying them to the South, We will not en-
,dure: we will not tolerate, and this is
the Union the Black Republicans propose
and such a Union the South will dis.
solve! +
