Henry Clay.

In relation to the very question now agitating
the country, in his speech on the 7th of Febru-
ary, 1889, said
"Sir, am not in the habitof speaking lightly
of the possibility Of dissolying this happy IN

alllsions, on ordinary occasions, to that direlul
event. The country will testify that if there
be anything in the history Of my public career
worthy of recollection, it is the truth and sin

eryation. But we should be false in our allegi-
ance to tiff we did not discriminate between
the imaginary and real dangers by whichit it may
be assaicd. Aboitionism should no longer be
regarded as an imaginary danger. The aboli-

aim Of uniting the inhabitants Of the free States

GcEks 5ssCkSOW,
Whose strong arm defended US in the hour OF
danger, whose iron will governed the affairs of
this great nation for two Presidential terms and
whose name is cherished and vcnerated by the
whole American people, in his farewell address
warns us. against the dangers of disunion,-
Read his farewell counsels and study their
meaning:
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained,
nor the Union preserved, in opposition to the
public feeling, by the mere exertion Of the CO.
erciye powers confded to the General Govern
ment. The foundations must be laid in the al
lectons of the people, in the security it gives to
lie, liberty, character and property, in every
quarter of the country; and in the fraternal at
tachment which the citizens of the several
States bear to one another as members of one
political family, mutually contributing to pro-
mote the happiness of each other. Hence the
citizens of every State should stulously avoid
everything calculated TO wound the sensiblity
or offend the just pride of the people of other
States; and they should frown upon any procee-
dings within their own borders likely to disturb
the tranquility of their political brethren in 9TH
cr portions of the Union. In acountry so ex
tcnsive as the United States, and with pursuits
so varied, the internal regulations Of the several
States must frequently differ from one another
in important particulars; and this difference is
unavoidably increased by the varying principles
upon which the Amercon Colonies were origi-
nally planted-prnciples which had taken deep
root in their social relations before the Rcvolu-
ton, and, therefore, of necessity, influencing
their policy since they became free end indie
pendent States. But each State has the un
questionable right to regulate its own internal
concerns, according to its own pleasure; and
while it does not interfere with the rights of the
people Of the other States, or the rights of the
Union, every State must be the sole Judge oi
the measures proper to secure the safety of its
citizens, and promote their happiness; and all
efforts on the part of the people of other States
to cast odium upon their institutions, and all
measures calculated to disturb their rights oI
property, or to put in jeopardy their peace and
internal tranquility, are in direct opposition to
the spirit in which the Union was formed, and
must ondanger its safety. Motives of philan-
thropy may be assigned for this unwarrantable
interference, and weak men may persuade them
selves, for moment that they are laborins in
the cause Of humanity, and asserting the rights
| of tha hmm IN race. hut every ona unOn sober
reflection, will see that nothing but mischiefc can
come from these improper assaults upon the feel
ings and rights Of others. Rest assured that
the men found busy in this work Of discord are
not worthy Of your confidence, and demand
your strongest reprobation."

our glorious Union. Can the honest voters of
Harrison county find it in their hearts tojoin
with party that is led on by men who are the
authors ofsuch infamous sentiments Of disunion
and treason? Ofcourse we speak now of the
leaders in this black republican movement. The
rank and file ofthe black repu blican party are
true to the constitution and the Union. They
cherish a sacred regard for the memory ofour
fathers. Let them but once be made aware of
the real objects sought by their political leaders
and they will renounce them at once, and join
the ranks ofthat party (which carries the flag &
keeps step to the music Of the Union" Let them
know that this republican movement is the first
steps toward the overthrow Of our glorious gov

In contrast with the odious sentiments of
black republican leaders, we now give the sol
cmn impressive and warning voices of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson, and other true pat
riots, which form the Democratic Chart in the
present contest for the pre- servation and pcrpe-
tuity ofthe Union. While living the American
people were wont to listen to their words of
wisdom, as children to the counselS OF father;
and now they are dead, shall we not treasure
up their words of warning? Standing upon
the brink ofthe grave they looked into the fu
ture and saw as with prophetic vision, the dan
gers which would threaten the Government.

'I am, and have been for many years, so much

"But besides the constitutional objections, I
am persuaded that the obvious tendency of such
interfcrencos on the part of the States which
have no slaves with the property of their fellow
citizens of the others, is to produce a state OF
dscord and jealousy that will in the end prove
fatal to the Union. Ibclicve that in no other

The Cincinnati nominations had arrived out,
and the news of Buchanan's nomination was ev-
erywhere hailed with enthusiasm. Several large
ratification meetings were held and the conve-
'ion was general, all over California, that the
Golden State would give an immense majority
for Buchanan.
The San Francisco Bulletin says Of the nom.
inaton of James Buchanan:-Salutes of great
guns were fired by the Democrats at San Fan
cisco, Sacramento, and various other places
Throughout the State where also public meet
ings have been held and the nominations rati-
fled.
OF Fremont the Bulletin says:-If Fremont
has some personal friends in this State, hc has
also many enemies, while his old connection
with the bankers Palmer, Cook & Co., who
are 50 obnoxious here, may excite the feelings
and preudces of many who might otherwise 20

The San Francisco Herald, of July 10, says
of Mr.. Bucbanan,s nomination:
mo nomination so creditabIe to the nation
has been made since 1882. Of all men in the
United States, he is best fitted, by his antece-
dents, by his genius, by his purity Of character
by the Spendor of his statesmanllke attainments
and by his known loyalty and fidelity to tho
Union to command, at a crisisl the present,
the confidence and the hearts Of the peo-
pie.
| We have no doubt that nine-tcnths Of
the old Clay Wings will vote for James
buchanan.
In this contest we cannot remain neutral. In
a battle between the Wings and democrats We
have never taken sides. But between Democ-
RAGS and the wretched factions which endeavor
to abolish the Constitution of the United States
and threaten the integrity of the Z MON, we
cannot hesitate to choose. More than this; as
American citizens we cannot remain idle spec
tators Of such fight Heart and soul, then,
we pledge ourselves to the support Of James
Buchanan for the Presidency of the United
States.
How They Love Fremont
The following from the Sacramento State
Journal, needs no comment:
"The nomination of John c. Fremont by the
Black Republicans, occasions more amusement
than serious reflection in California. The nom-
nation is esteemed very shabby affair; men
turn up their noses at it, and say 'Pshaw!' He
will not receive one of the forty thousand set
tier votes In the State, and, indeed we greatly
question whether he will be able to carry sim

him, and such a prophet is without honor in

Palmer, Cook * Co, in California.

The estimation in which Palmer, Cook q Co.
aims Palmer, Cook & Fremont, arc held in cali
tornia may be inferred by the following extract
from the last Alta Californian The editor
says:
"But in all seriousness we would ask uhen ID
this corrupt and detested rnoneyed power to be
driven from the political arena? When will 1t
cease to tant, with its with its Ear reaching poi

erned, not by the interests Of their constituents
who elected them or by their consciences, but
by the money of Palmer, Cook g. Co? The evil

Soft seems jeff Davis, Pierce's secretary of
war, is agoing to use the army to destroy the
Union if Fremont is elected. He is now using
it to crush out the spirit of liberty in Kansas,
and the crime would be little greater to employ
it in subverting the Union itself. The threats of
Chevalier Brooks and Quattlebum Wise to sub
vert the Government and seize the Treasury and
the Archives were simply ridiculous. Butwhen
threats of revolution came from the secretary
of war, doubtless approved by the President it
