The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1856-10-18

Times tells the northern" that he's no game unless he
"LsaVss hs Union or rules Ms UaiOn.'
But let give good regular look at this article First
have train Of abstraction the right and duty OF the
application Of physical force There VaS time when the
northern" could consistently with John Bull honor use
argument but-here is the conclusion Of the Times:
The time for all this mere talk is now and the
northern must fight for his principles If he wants his prn
cipes prevail lie must either leave hs Union Or nc must
rule he Union There Is no middle course open 70 MN ior
the solution Of his difficulty and the satisfaction OF his
conscience and he intends TO rule the Union he must De
ready TO defend his position"
The Times abors in a column of editorial to impress
the North the importance of understanding its position
II says:
at high time then that the northern States of the
Union should understand their position and see what the
present crisis is imposing upon them II B undoubtedly
pleasant thing TO fight and any other mode OF set
ling dispute is preterabe but If the force OF events
thrusts such alternative upon them 1t becomes very
serious consideration how far they principle OF
duty and seErespect, reject it,
If the North do not arue the Union" these terrible
things to TO it. The Times says:
"Their whole public life viii be under cloud, dom.
inant slavery viii sit upon them like nightmare stife
their Efforts and paralyze their energies Conscience will
rebuke them, friends will abandon them opponents will
deride them they will be the laughing OF the whole
Union having talked much and done nothing But we
are convinced that there brighter future than this for
the North"
The Times condescends tell the North that nations do
appeal sometimes force 1t says the fact and
the encouragement to follow the example
"The appeal to force is such unusual course for ma
adopt In defence of great public princpes and
nations that adopt this the proper occasions in
the gain and compensated for the temporary
sacrifice by lasting credit and position The English nation
has just acted this principle and given an example
of war undertaken the greatest national sacrifice for
great public endthe resistance and punishment of ag
erosion"
That's the crowner That beats ALL That's John up to
the chin To think that he should adduce the gain-the
BLASTING credit and postonacquired by the English ma
ton in the Russian nducement to the northern
States of this Union TO turn this noble land into anarchy
rsnd twain the great American power and bring on II
the terrible horrors Of unending civil war What gan
what credit what POSITION has accrued to England from
the Russian war; Let past scahng editorials of the Lon
don Times answer this question
What will American say to this hellish course OF
the London Times2 What will the citizen OF the North
say the proposition often heard at home with insensi-
by but now urged upon him from abroad that "he must
l.ape he Union or ruls the UnionP' There is nothing but
mischief-nine mischief-in this proposition OF the
northern fanatic and the foreign nermeddler NO section
of this Union ever ruled the other section the men who
say it libel basely libel their fellowcountrymen They
caumnate the glorious past and peril the expanding u-
ture Indignantly rown upon the libel and disown the
proposition.
A dissolution of this Union This is what every hater
of repubicansm can understand and would rejoice in
The Old World despots would hold Jubilee over the ca
lamity while the friends of freedom would despair OF the
race Stand by the constitution and this Union OF coequal
Statesl
