A Picture of Disunion.

FROM GEN. JAcKsoN's FAREWELL ADDRESS.
In bis farewell address to bis countrymeA upon
retiring from the Presidency, the patriot, states
man and hero Of the Hermitage said
"What have you to gain by division and dissen-
ton? Deude not yourselves with the hope that the
breach once made, lwould be afterwards easily re-
paired. II the Union is once severed, the sepsra-
ton viii grow wider and, and the controversies
which are now debated and settled in the halls Of
legislation, will be tried in the field Of battle, and
determined by the sword. Neither should you de-
ceve yourselves with the hope that the first line Of
separation would be apermatent one.
Local interests would still be found there. and
cha stoned ambition. And If the recollection of
common dangers in which the people of these
United States have stood side by side against the
common foe-the memory Of victories won by
their united valor - the prosperity ard hap
piness theyhave enjoyed under the present
Constitutions If all these recollectone and proofs OF
common interest are not strong enough to bind US
together as one people, what tie will hold united
the new divisions of eTpre when these bonds have
been broken and this Union dissolved? The first
line of separation would not last long; new frag.
ments would be torn off-new leaders would spring
up-and this great and glorious Republic would
soon be broken into multitude OF petty States,
armed for mutual sggression-loaded with taxes to
pay armies and understanding aid against each
upon by the nations of Europe-untiI. harassed
with conflicts and BUNDLED and debased in spirit
they would be willing to submit to the dominion Of
any military adventurer, and to surrender their H.
berty for the sake OF repose."
Another letter from Sandford Harrison.
We published some weeks since letter from
Sanford Harrison, of New York, an old Demo-
crat, recommending the Democrats to support Mr..
Fillmore. We give another letter from the same
gentleman
TO THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATS OF NEW YORK AND THE
UNION
1t will be remembered, that in a communication
I addressed to you some elk weeks ago, urged
you TO concentrate your strength in the State of
New York upon Willard Fillmore, as the only way
the defeat of the Sectionaist, ]. c. Fremont could
be comprised l am constant reader of many
Southern journals and the song of the whole of them
has been, "if Fillmore out Of the way, Buch.
auans election was certain" Such have never
believed to be the case and the result of the cleo
ton in the State of Maine abundanty demonstrates
the fact. Fillmore not 'in the way" there GER
tainly and we are beaten by 20, 900 majority The
question, and the only question that now presents
tselfto our minds is, whether will stand by our
party, and 'let the Union Slide" or whether we
will 90 for the Union, and give up our attachment
to party" In the communication before alluded
to- frankly told you that preferred the Union to
my party, and shOnld vote accordingly.
have seen nothing Gin the signs of the times"
lately to change that determinations; on the con,
trary, it has materially been strengthened L have
reason to know that the view take and have taken
of this contest, meets with the appreciation Of many
of the most prominent men in our ranks, but who
for obvious reasons will not publicly avow it. You
cannot expect leaders, seekers after place at your
hands, to come out openly and tell you the whole
truth, however apparent it may be to them. You
must listen to the frank and fle" if you desire to
be honestly enlightened. A journey of three weeks
duration through ths State, satisfies me that away
from post Offices and custom houses Mr.. Buchanan
has literally no supporters at all.thst the once go
rious Democratic party is completely annlhilated
and that if we mean to stem the tide of sectoDal~
ism, we must vote for the only man who has the
chance of success here, and that man is Willard
Fillmore.
Friends and country men, hear, hear, ere it be
too late. SANFORD HARRISON.
