Tom Corwin on the Stump---What he
thinks Of Disunion.
The "Wagoner boy" has returned to
Ohio, and has taken the stump; not, how
ever, for Buchanan, as he should have
done, tut for Fillmore. In his speech at
Carthage, in Hamilton county, a few days
since, he made the following remarks in re-
gard to the danger of disunien: -
am not electioneering, gentlemen, for
any body whatever and whoever is el, cted
shall acknowledge him as President OF
She United States. and aid him in carry
ing on the legitimate business Of this gov
erument; Tut I do say that at no period
in the history Of this Republic, since
tranquility was restored to Its borders,
after the terrible revolutionary struggle,
has there been so much frightful apprehen-
sion in the minds of the American people,
Of some vague and entire disruption of
the bonds which hold this Union together
Does it not become us to consider how
we will answer to that remote posterity
who we may fancy holding up their hands
to US thousand years in the future, and
appealing to us by the blood of our faith
ers, if you will aid an act which, by any
possibility, may imperil the existence Of
this Republic! Give no heed to the men
who sneer when you tell them the Repub-
lie may be destroyed-to the men who
sneer at the powers of the south; give no
heed when they say the North is in q ma
jority, and may do as it pleases! Ifthis
alienation of feelings goesson, not gman

past transactions Of mankind will tell you it

Don't crowd each other, there's plenty of
room for all; there are lot more than half
as many Of you as were expected. SO don't
crowd Oh yes Oh yes!! the old mud
scow DIsUNIoNIsr starts this day. All

too weak in the back to vote their own
ticket This boat tows the little dug
out Dark Lantern, which has been fitted
up for the beuetit of the Fillmore men.
Don't look so melancholy, gentlemen,
you have often navigated the same stream
before. You are now to be taken to the
extreme head waters John G. Fremont,
the celebrated traveller who invented the
woolly horse, and caught the humble bee
on the top of the Rocky Mountains, is
positively going to make the place of our
destination his permanent residence after
the 4th of November. Mr.. Fillmore will
arrive about the same time, but declines
to live on the same side of the river with
Fremont, because he is said to be
Catholic.

Fer instance, in Glastonbury the Demo

in and voted, and the ballot 6oc was then
closed, though large number of Demo-
Gratis were coming in at that time. No
such abuse of power was ever before ex-

has been made by the voters to hold
