that nothing could Withstand it-and she sank
storm first, and every person In the cuddy was
drowned. Those upon the deck were saved by
getting upon the bow of the boat which still
remained above the water, until assistance arriv-

The Union Feeling.

There can be no doubt that deplorable change
has taken place in the feelings of the people in
many sections OF this country towards the Union,
within few years past John Quincy Adams
once presented Il petition to Congress tor dssolu-
fion OF the Union, petition to which he was indi
vidualy opposed yet nothing saved him from pub
lie censure or expulsion but his advanced age, the
services which he had rendered the country in for
ner and better days, and the strongest profession
of personal attae hment to the Union. Now man
is elected Speaker of the House of Represents
tives, in full knowledge of the fact that he has
openly and defantly said of the Union, LET IT
sLIpE!' Could anything more strikingy illustrate
the change OF Union sentiment than this striking
contrast:
In addition to the triumph Of treason in the very
capital OF the Confederacy, solution is openly
advocated upon the stump and by the press and q
sectional party has been formed in the North, the
object of which is to make the North the govern
lug power of the Republic. Mr.. Fillmore, in his
speech at Albany justly said that the North would
never submit to the triumph of a Southern sectional
party and that the South could not be expected to
act with less spirit and selfrespect than the North
Happily, there is little probability that Black Re.
publicanism W ill elect their candidate; but the fa
eility with which some influential persons once re.
garded as conservatives have passed into the ranks

The notification laws of several of the tales are
virtually dissolution of the union As far as Their
duties are concerned, and only presery alton of it
so Tar it promotes their interest Our nation a,
life may preserve its outward forms, and NAV even
show some signs of health and vigor, after this
paralysis of portion of the system; but it can no
longer be the Union as it was nor can we think
OF its future without anxiety

The proposition to print 10000 copies of the

| Hoase-The House ordered 10000 copies of the
| repor. Of the committee In the Sumner case to be
| printed.
The subject Of mismanagemeat of the expendi-
ture Of the public funds in public buildings, was
| considered and postponed
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio. called up the Sumner and
| Brooks report concluding with a resolution for
| the expulsion Of the latter from the House. and
expressing disapprobation at the conduct OF
Messrs. Edmundson, of Virginia, and Keitt of s..
| Carolina.
| Mr.. Cobb, of Georgia, moved a substitute, de-
claring that the House had no jurisdiction in the
| case.
Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, agreed with
Mr.. Cobb, and thought the assault had been too
| much magnifed. He commended that no breach Of
privilege had been committed. Men of courage,
he said. are rarely guilty of SANDER, and those
| who falsify are generally towards. He believed
| Mr.. Sumner closely allied with Garrison. Philips
and others of that stripe, and like them, was in
| favor of disunion.
Mr. Bingham replied to Mr.. Clingman.
| Mr.. Brooks expressed his qualification, that Mr..
| Bingham disclaimed any personal unkindness and
| asked him whether he understood him correctly,
| as saying, that he. Brooks, was guilty of moral
| turpitude and of perjury
Mr.. Bingham denied any such assertions.
| Mr.. Brooks expressed himself satisfied.
MIR. Orr deprecated the fact thai an attempt had

| pleading on behalf of the people of Kansas. Such
was not the case Mr.. S. was punished for libel
