/ Dissolution A lluMBrG.--The Buchaneer
! Journals are likely to be deprived of their
principal weapon of political warfare by
| their own leading men. Only few days ago
Senator Bright made Il speech in Michigan,
/ in which he treated this humbug cry of his
| fanatical partizans in the following manner.
i lie said '.therc was no danger Of disruption
Sin the Union. and that neither Congress nor
''all the politicians in the country can dis
''solve the Confed racy our fathers made and
/ Stranded down to u.s."
So said Buchanan himself, in his first polit-
/ cal speech on his return from England,
is true. Yet the Buchaneer journals daily
parade the horrors Of Dissolution before the
eyes of the people as a beggar exposes his
sores to elicit sympathy. They know it is u
pitiful hulnbug; their leaders confess it and
declare it; but they can't give up the con-
temptible trick, for they would then be as
bankrupt Of political capital as they now
arc Of all sense of political honor and man
illness.

cB- Language changes IN form with the
lapse of time, but the uubroken continuity OF
thought preserves its original significance
! unimpaired from age to age. For instance.
the strangely solemn phrase that caused the
knees of Beshaz1ar TO smite together, is
working the same effect with our own recre-
ant rulers under the modern guise OF
"MsI-NE, MAINE, tekel upharsn.'
cT-One of our contemporaries thinks

banking may be ranked together, as govern

the Des Moines Citizen, '.let us look after the

trust they will subscribe the amount asked by

seems to us Of great deal more importance,
though the other very valuable while our
