servile insurlec6onln the South; When the black
man, armed with British bayone,s, andsled on by
British officers shall assert his freedom and wage
war of determination against his master; when the
torch of the ncendiary shall light up the towns and
cities of the South and blot out the last vestge of
slavery. And though may not mock at their ca
lamty nor laugh when their fear cometh, yet will
hail it as the dawn Of political millennium.

Of July prayer Of Black Republican Clergyman
at O5srl,n, Ohio.
In attaching the Sherman amendment to the Army
appropr alton BILL and refusing supplies to carry on
the Government, this House has performed the first
act in the drama of revolution. The genius Of dis
union, grim, hideous, and CHASTITY has already pre-
scented its unsghtly form in this Hail. at the bidding
of asitators and disorganizers. If the pluck OF
Black Republicanism is not exceeded by its ar
rosance and treachery it is likely even to bring mat
tiers to a speedy issue. That assumed courage which

their fingers ends the act is consummated
They will fly, panic-strickcn. from the untenable
position they now occupy. They will defer it to
another day, and more suspicious time.
What hopes can the South have but in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Buchanan by they people! If the cleo
ton be thrown into this House, it will, in all proba
blity result in the election of Fremont and thereby
bring unnumbercd woes on the country. II the
Know Nothings have all that exalted and selfsacri-
cing patriotism which they profess (and feel sure

They well know that the organization of that party
cannot be kept up much longer; that it is rapidly
dying out everywhere; that it will soon be num-
bered among the things that were and that even
now it is but
"A vapor eddying in the whrl of time,
And soon to vanish everlastingly.'
The preservation Of the Constitution and of the
Union is worthy Of the highest aspirations of the
patriot. 1t is high time that all conservative and
national men, in all parts of the country, and of all
parties, should rally under the broad banner of the
Constitution and the Union, and bear it aloft, en-
blazoned with its splendid galaxy Of thirty stars
far above the reach OF the political infdels, who
are now stretching forth their polutng hands to
drag it down and trail it in the dust. May we not
