How the Quattle buns Talk.

This is an awful time The denunciation o
the Union by wise men is terrific! The Demo
cratic party of the South stand up to man, anG
say that the Union must be dissolved, while th'
Northern wing of that party tell us they are il
favor Of "The Union forever" and charge u
with reasonable sentiments. Verify, things arr
come to a pretty pass Are there, then, tw.
Democratic parties? Isthe Z" Glorious Democra

moonshine!, The cry has lost its SAVIOR. The
public tympanum is dumb to its clamor. The
North has ceased to fear it. The rags of this
