Who are the Useuniontsts'
"CoNcERr OF AcTIoN''-.'The alarm
ing aspect of affairs renders it. in my
opinion, of the utmost importance, that
some plan Of concerted action should be
forthwith agreed upon between the Gov
ernors of all the Southern States, by
which, in the event of black Republi-
can triumph in November, the State
Legislatures Of their States may be forth
with convened in extraordinary session.
to deliberate upon the proper measures
to be adopted in such an emergency
On the happening of such an event. hon.
or and interest alike demand that the
South should forthwith withdraw from
all connection with the North, and estab-
fish an independent confederacy. The
people are ripe for such result. They
will withdraw in peace and quiet if they
can, but in war and blood if they must.
Nothing can hold them longer in such
an equal union. but object submission to
tyranny and disgrace. Governor Wise
is the man to lead off in this precaution-
airy movements, and l hope he will delay
not another day in addressing himself to
the task Don't let us wait until we
are bound hand and foot by the enemy.
We should be prepared to formally de-
clare the Union dissolved forever. on the
4th of Match, 1857. A Black Republi-
can administration can never be inaug-
ated over the Southern States of this
Union. would rather see the sunny
fields Of the whole South cony erted into
a graveyard of martyred patriots, than
see such u disgraceful consummation of
the hopes and designs of abolitionism.
Vox PoPuL1.
The above is taken verbatim from the
Richmond Enquirer of Oct. LIST 1856.
Democrats of Maine, who say there is
no difference between the Democracy of
the North, and the Democracy of the
South-Straight Wings, also, who say
there is no difference between modern
Democracy and modern Whigocrary-I
ask you in all candor. are you prepared
to say amen to the above declaration
Of ''Vox Popuil' (thc voice of the peo-
ple) of the South Will you too say,
that. in the event of Fremont's election
to the Presdeney-this Union shall be
dissolved How can you Say it, and not
at the same time say, modern Demo
whigocrats consider the success of parfv
paramount to the perpetuity of the
Union Is it uot virtual declaration,
that, ''if you don't let MS rule, we'll get
mad and raise thunder and earthquakes,
and knock your old Union higher than
kite, without tall l repeat the
question, Who are the disunionists :?
A plank in the Republican platform is.
1.-The rights of the States, and the IN
ton Of the States, must and shall be pre-.
serred. In John C. Fremont's letter of
acceptance, he declares among other
good patriotic things, I'm the event of
my election to the Presidency, l should
enter upon the execution of its duties
with a single-hearted determination to
promote the good of the ,chote country,
Where do you find disunion sentiments.
Read and judge. REPUBLICAN.

Instantly: they are slow, when taken on the

therefore they have been set aside on the
plea that they are destitute of sweetness !

And so, too, she buys water and filth in her

sugar itself! Is she ready TO apply the
same principle to her -four, and prefer that
which is literally compounded with cookie,

ing to the sweetness of honey, and therefore
honey can lose no sweetness by being freed
from wax. Sugar, so long as it will crystal

is therefore the driest, the purest, the best

Finally, sugar, pure or impure, may easily
be used too freely, especially III the warm
season, and by persons of bilious habit, or
those who take too little active exercise.
Many dyspepsias, liver complaints, bilious
attacks, fevers, neuralgias, rheumatisms, uri-

the product of too free use of sugar and
other concentrated foods, for the exercise
and air that are taken by the consumer
