You hear roihing of the Declaration o.

,ions. II i. document which is ignored in
Kansas. It has been pronounced "a self
evident lie'' by Senator PKTTiF, although
THos: JEFFERSON called it"a sclf-evident
truth, By the laws of Kansas it is a crime
10 read, or published it within that territory.
These extracts might be extended to
much greater length, but we think we have
already quoted sufficient to fssten the charge
where it belongs. All these men are now
supporters of the Cincinnati Platform, with
probably one exception. One thing is very
certs in however, not one of them are mem.
bers of the Republican party. And it is
thus always. The cry Of disunion comes
from the South, and the South keep it up.
It has had gre at effect. too, in frightening
men into the belief that thay were in real
earnest. But, as we have said before, it is a
puerilc cry, and should receive only con-
tempt.
The South threatened to dissolve the
Union if the North would not submit to the
passage of the Missouri Comprom ise. The
North submitted. In 1889, South Csrolna
threatened TO dissolve the Union. but Gen.
JACKSON whipped them in. The South
threatened to dissolve the Union if Texas
was not admitted; and the North cavcd in,
and Texas wss admitted. The South threat,
eped TO dissolved the Union if the Fugitive
Slave law of 1850 was not passed; the
North "caved liz" and that law passed. The
South threatened to dissolve he Union i
the Nebraska bill was not passed; the North
"eaved in" again, and the bill lpassed.
From these repeated threats Of disun 10 n
the North hrs learned wisdom, and the
threats "pass by them as the idle wind y
Last winter the South threatened to dissolve
the Union if BANKS was elected Speaker
Blu; the North had submitted to be led from
the discharge of their duty too often, by that
cry, they bad proven its utter emptiness in
former contests, and they held firm, and
elected BANKS, and the Union is stronger
TO- asy than ever before. The contest fol
Speaker has shown to the Country tha
| there is North.
This policy OF crying Eve will dissolve
the Uuiou," is being tried again by the
| Southern nulli6ers, and their Northern
aiders and abettors rc-echo she cry. They
admit that .here was good deal of the raw
head. o nd bloody bones in their cry hereto
fore. but they have solemnly agreed, and
determined that the election o: Fremont il
to be the dea th- -knell of the Union. They
have by common consent fixed the dissolu'
of the Union at March 4th, 1857. Do they
think We are TO be deferred from voting for
FREMONT by this foolish cry! Do they
think we have forgotten The stormy times
of 1920, the South Carolina nullifica ton, the
annexation of Texas, or the passage of the
Fugitive Law, The North will never forget
these things. The muse o! history will, in
fixing them t, his page. associate with them
our humiliation, and our abject submission.
Nor have We forgotten the election Of Mr.
BANKS, when We proved to the world that
the cry of"dsunion" was mere "sound and
fury sienifying nothing"
The North will never dissolve the Union.
They love it too dearly. It is intimately
connected in our minds with those great
struggles for liberty which made New Eng
land classic ground, and enriched her soil
with human blood. The North will never
dissolve the Union while Bunker Hill mon
ument stands, or while trace remains of
the green mounds and noble monuments a
nations gratitude has erected to the memory
of our illustrious dead. The grave Of WASH
inctun and Bunker Hill will never be owned
BY separate powers. The green slopes of
Monticello, where sleeps the immortal JET
rERsos. and old Independence Hall, the one
in the North, the other in the South, are
sufficient to bind the Union together in
bonds too strong for human hands to sever.
Let the South try her traitorous design of!dis
solving the Union, our country get raises
suG Gcicni hemp TO hang all the traitors.
