The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1856-08-21

Moreover, it must be a constant source
of vexation to them, that the bugbear
which they have conjured up to frighten
the people from their propriety, entirely
fails ofits object. No man who isposted
on the political topics of the day believes
for moment that the Republican party
has any wish or intention to break up the
Union of these States. No sentiment in
dicating such purpose was ever put forth
by any Republican Convention or recog-
nized oracle of the party. To assert the
contrary is foolishly false and libelous.
The objects which the Republican par
ty proposes to accomplish are definitely
set forth in the Philadelphia Platform
Can these niger driving Democrats, can
anybody, find aught in that Platform ia"
voring dissolution of the Union Is ii
not distinctly declared, in the very first
resolution, that one of our objects is to

platform and read for yourself.
And what of Col Fremont? No can
did person can help believing that the
Union will be as safe with John G. Ere
mont in the Presidential Chair, as it was
when Andrew Jackson administered the
government. He has given the strong
est pledges of devotion to the Union, and
his antecedents are sure guaranty that
those pledges will be fulfilled to the letter.
His first public service under the United
States government was under an appoint
ment from Jackson as a part of the force
that was sent to put down notification in
South Carolina /; and if majority of the
electors of the Union give him their votes
for President, as they have constitution
al right to do. any attempt to sever the
Union on that account will be as prompt
ly put down by him as were the nullif
ers by Jackson in 1882.
Again, if Col. Fremont is a disunionist,
and if the Republican party Is disunion
party, amt it a little strange that every
avowed disunionist, North as well as
South, bitterly opposes Fremont and the
Republican party? Yes, it is fact that
Fremont and the Republicans have not a
single disunion supporter in the land
But the same cannot be said of the Bu-
chanan party. It's ranks swarm with dis
unionists and we now proceed to give
the following sentiments favorable tc a
dissolution of the Union expressed by
men who are now prominent supporters
of Buchanan. Let the people read, and
then Judge who are the disunionists
By SENATOR YULEE, OF FLORIDA.
For my part, l am ready to proceed
to extreme measures, even to the disso-
luton of the Union.'
BY SENATOR BROWN, OF MISSISSIPPI
elf the Wilmot Proviso is adopted, it
will raise storm that will sweep away
this Union, and I pray God devoutly that
it will do so."
BY MR.. MORSE, OF LOUISIANA.
"The Southern man who will stand up
and say that he is for the Union, now
and forever is more dangerous to the
people he represents than those who are
in open hostility. II California be tram
meled with preamble declaring the Ter
tory now free, I am willing to dissolve
the Union"
BY SENATOR MASON, OF VIRGINIA.
cit is time the yoke was thrown off,
and the question settled"
BY MR.. STANTON, OF TENNESSEE.
"When the Wilmot Proviso is adopt
ed, I and the South are ready to walk
out of the Union"
BIT Mr.. coLcoCK, OF GEORGIA"
elf the Wilmot Proyiso should pass In
any form, | will introduce bill for the
dissolution of the Union.''
BY SENATOR TooMBs, OF GEORGIA.
" The South will not submit, and ought
not to submit, if Fremont is elected"
The following resolution was adopted
at Congressional Caucus of Southern
Democrats held in Washington in Janua-
ry, 1849:
Resolved, That the dissolution of the
Union is preferable to the submission of
the South to the Wilmot Proviso."
The following toasts were drunk at
Democratic 4th of July celebration at At
Gibson City, in Kansas:
DIsUNIoN-By secession or otherwise
"a beacon of hope to an oppressed peo-
pie, and the surest remedy for Southern
wrongs. Enthusiastic cheers."]
"THE CRY OF ArcH1soN-May she,
before the close of the year 81, be the
capital ola Southern Republic. Cheers.
Says the Charleston Merewy, a lead
ing Southern Buchanan organ:
"We rejoice at any event which makes
common cause at the South, and fore
shadows her destiny as separate and
independent people"
We now come to examine the posi-
ton of the northern disunionists, and
ascertain their affiinties. There are, scat
tered though the Free States, but chiefly,
we believe, confined to Massachusetts,
