We are aware that the threat Of this valiant son
Of Massachusetts refers to the contingency OF a
Southern effort to dissolve the Union In the event
Of Fremont's election. The question naturally
suggests Itself why, II the shareholders OF the
South be such . race Of monsters, you should in
sist upon their remaining in the Union why
hug these moral lepcrs TO your amiable hearts and
refuse to let them go on any terms Simply, because
the North cannot afford to lose the South. Its gor.
geous wealth would burst like glitteTing soap
bubble at the frst touch Of dissolution That Is
the reason why, In the language Of Judge Conrad
they will COMPEL us to remain in the Union the
Free Sellers have come to regard the South, win
Its staples, Northern property, simply superin-
tended and worked by the Southern planters and
farmers, In the capacity substantially OF over
seers for Northern masters. Hence, we do not re
gard the language Of the Burlingames, the Cor.
RAIDS and others, a. Idle threats. We count upon
Il as an absolute certainty that In the event of An
attempt to dissolve the Union by the Southern
States, no matter how just and reasonable the
cause, the whole physical force of the North viii
be used to compel the South to remain. If the
North will not fight for honor, (Which we do moi
mean to assert) 1t will most assuredly fight fol
money, and will never renquish Its hold on the foun
tain from which flows Its gigantic wealth, without
the boodest and most desperate struggle that ever
took place on this continent. On this the South
must calculate, and forewarned should be In read
