speech recently delivered by Senator
Wilson, in The city OF New York:
said to-nigh, that the Union was in
danger. I Withdraw that remark. The
Union is threatened. but il is threatened
by men who have no power TO execute
their reasonable threats. Mr.. Toombs
Of Georgia proclaimed TO The country
that If Fremont is elected. 'ihc South
will go out of the Union, and that it
ought TO go gu! of the Union" Has
Mr.. Toombs the power to take the State
Of Georgia on; o! the Union! Let him
try the experiment. Mr.. BENJAMIN Of
Louisiana said that "the South would go
out of the Union if we undertook to
carry ont the doctrine of non-ex,ension
of Slavery" tell that Senator and the
other leaders OF the Democratic party
at the North and the South that if we Go
GO into power-and I believe We shall
60 into power in 1856 and guide and
control the policy of this government
we mean that human slavery shall not go
q single inch further on the North Amer,
lean continent. Yes, gentlemen, If we
place The reins of government into the
hands of John c.. Fremont-and we
mean TO do tive proclaim to the WORLD
tina. Slavery shall be blo,ted out from the
plains Of Kansas. where j, has been es
,ablished by the rude hand of violence,
and that the foot of the slave shall never
press the soil Of New Mexico. of Utah,
Of. Oregon, Of W%ashington or MIhnsso-
la--ay. and further, we proclaim ,ha, il
the boundaries of this country shall be
extended ei.hef to the North or South.
that wherever the flag of this republic

The government Of the county, it shall
