We do not believe that the conspirators against
the peace and stability Of the government. who are
engaged In this movement, can succeed. TIE peo-
pie Of the North have been warned Of Its conse-
querces by Mr.. Fillmore who hesitated not TO de-
STARE that dissolution would and ought to be the
result of the triumph of their nefarious schemes

and one who knows thoroughly thu consprators

voice, however, is bu. an echo Of that Of Wash-

nails railroads. steamboats,, ploughs, axes, spades,

peace or war is before her. that is the true policy

As yet the south has no grounds for the terrible
alternative of dissolution; no reason for the appi

method of preserving life. II is well to prepare
for the future; to provide against every possible
contingency; but let US not despair. The abolition
cohorts of Fremont may yet be ground to powder
by the uprising of the conservative masses of
the Northern people. Even If the Northern PEG
pie fail to perform their duty to the Constitution
and the Union, the House of Representatives may
yet save the country by the election of national
candidates Fremont has not the numbers in that
body to his election. Let us still have faith
in the Republic and its destiny.
