Who Are Disunionists !


given to Bully Brooks by his consitiu-
ents. We also give an extract from the
speech of Brooks, made upon the occasion,
neither of which require comment. The
speech shows how much regard Brooks
and his constituents have for the Consti-
tuition and the Union, and the letter how
the leaders Of the so-called Democratic
party in tie south sympatLize with them.
But here is the letter
Washington, Monday, Sept. 90, '55.
GENTLEMEN Il have the honor to &C.
knowledge your polite and very gratifying
invitation to public dinner to be given
by the people Of the Fourth Congression-
al District, to their Representative, Hon.
P. S. Brooks.
1t would give me much pleasure on
any occasion, TO meet you, fellow citizens
of the Fourth District of South Carolina !:
End the qualification would be materially
heightened by the opportunity to witness
their appreciation of Representative
aohom Ihoid in such high regard and es-
Gem. Circumstances will not permit me,
however, to be with you, as invited, and
| have only to express to you my sympa-
thy with the feeling which prompts the
sons of Carolina to welcome the return ct
a brother who has been the subject of vii
iication, Misrepresentation and persecu-
ton, because he resented HJellous assault
upon the reputation ottheir mother.
With my thanks to you and those
whom you represent, for your kind re-
membrance of me, l am. very truly, your
friend and fellow citizen,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
ARTnTR SIMPSON, JAMES GILLIAN, and
others.
And now hear what Brooks says:
eve have the issue upon US now, and
how are we to meet it? l tell you, fel-
low citizens, from the bottom ofmy heart
that the only mode which I think available
for meeting it is JUST TO TEAR THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES, TRAMPLE 1T UNDER
FOOT, AND FORM A SOUTHERN
CONFEDERACY, EVERY STATE OF
WHICH WILL BE A SLAVEHOLD
ING STATE. loud and prolonged
cheers l believe it, as stand in the
face of my Maker,-l believe it on my
responsibility to you as your honored rep
resentative that the only hope of the
South is in the South, and that the only
available means of making that hope eff
fective is to cut assunder the bonds that
tie us together, and take our separate
position in the family Of nations. These
are my opinions. l HAVE BEEN A
DISUNIONIST FROM THE TIME I
COULD THINK
Thus it is seen that Brooks has not
merely been dtsunionist since Fremont
was nominated, but he has always been
one, and yet in the same speech he comes
out unreservedly in favor of Buchanan
for President. Is anything more needed
to show who are the disunionists -?

We see by the reported proceedings OF
the Union Convention, held at Harrisburg
on The 21st inst, that union has been
formed between the Republicans and Fill
more men of Pennsylvania upon an elec-

The Convention was largely attended
from all parts of the State, and the ar

is reported to be entirely satisfactory to
