With regard to the frequent threats Of dis.
union, We say the Onion is in no DANGER ofa
dissolution. There are but two WAYS Of dis.
solving the Union: one is BY revolution and
force, which the strong arm Of the general
government will always be able to put down
and the other is by aconvention Of the states
that adopted the constitution, and framed
the government Of their choice. Newspaper
leditors and cross road politicians have no
power to dissolve, and there 10 now, and al.

A SEVERE REBUKE. Yesterday
on the occasion Of the celebration OF
the surrender of Mexico. Gen Quit
map. of Mississippi, wished to have
an introduction to the remnant of
the New York Volunteers individu-
ally. Sergts. Peel and Farrell de-
iclined an introduction on the ground
that they did not wish an acquaint.
ance withany man who publicly extoli-
ed"bully' Brooks for his cowardly as
sault on the Hon. Charles Sumner.
The above says the Charleston
Mercury, is from an abolition print
in New York. We suppose it viii
be recollected that the "New York
Volunteer" skulked at the battle OF
Cherubusco, and that the Palmetto
Regiment, in which Col. Brooks
commanded company, had to take
the place vacated by their cewardice.
Sergts. Pell aud Farrell. therefore,
are very appropriate sympathisers
with the cowardly Senator. .srse

FLORIDA,

The Savannah Georgian publishes
table of returns of the ell Lection in
Florida, from which it is seen that
Perry (dem.) for Governor has a ma.
jorityso Of sol, and Hawkins (dem.
for Congress a. majority of 828. Il
adds, that several other counties
have been heard from-but not def.
nitely. Washington, Calhoun, Pat
nam which have given small MAORI
ties for the democrats, and Walton
and Holmes which have done the
same for the know nothings. From
two or three other small counties
nothing has been received. Yet
nothing to come in can materially
vary the above majorities. An in-
crease or decrease to the extent of a
hun lred will cover any change to be
made in our summing mp.
The Legislature which has Sena-
tor to elect, is democratic by from
six to eight on joint ballot.

The Canvass in Indiana.

The Louisville Courier says:
Many gentleman who have heard
Willard speak at various pouits
in Indiana have told us that they
have never heard abolitionists and
negro stealers denounced in such a
terrible and scathing manner, even
in Kentucky, as they were to their
faces by Willard in his public ad-
dresses. He has bearded the lion in
his den, and has not yet attempted to
secure ayOte by temporizing orcon-
ciliatory policy, bat has fought the
battle boldly and on principles alone.
We are glad 20 b ear that, the citizens
of Kentucky are to have an oppor-
tunity to hear Mr., Willard speak
before the presidential election"

What they Calculated on.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of the
9Th, republished in the Banner said,
"The keystone State may be regar-
.ded as eertaialy.aganst the Cincinnati
nominees in October (the l4th,) and
by a majority of at least twenty thou
sand votes.'' The National Era, the
the central Abolition Organ at Wash
ington, on the 9th said: ave have
great hopes of success in Pennsyl-
vania "--"There are but two State
tickets in the feld--the Buchanan
and the Opposition, the latter embra-
cling Fremont and Fillmore men,
Here is the Philadelphia Inquirer
acknowledging fusion of all the isms
and stes "aginst the Cincinnati NOM
inee"--and the National Era, stating
there were but two tickets, Fremont
and Fillmore men" against the. Ma.
tional Democracy! These confess.
ion we're made by the Know Nothing
and Abolition Organs before the cleo
tion. The unholy Fusion of Know
against Foreign born Cath
Ollie citizens and of the Fremonters
in fauor of Niggers and against South
ern White men did not succeed

HOG MARKET.

The Cincinnati Price Current oil
Wednesday says:
During the last month there has
not been much done in the way Of
contracting for hogs, and especially
has this been the case, during the
last two or three weeks. The highest
price We heard of being paid was
Sc 20 per cwt, net, for November
delivery. Holders, now, and for
some time past, have been asking
Sc 259S6 so for early delivery;
but there is now less disposition
manifested to take contracts even at
5000 IL than there was in August.
The supply of lard and of barrel
pork is light, in the various markets,
beyond doubt, and either of those
articles brought 70 market early will
command high prices; but cut meats
are abundant, dull, aud low, which
acts as a counterpoise to any dispo-
sition which might be manifested to
speculate, with reference to the high
prices and scarcity OF mess pork and
lard.

The KING OF NAPLEs.--lt is
thought that the King Of Naples
is just fool enough to resist the COM
bined fleets Of England and France
His ignorance, stupidity and self
coneeit are enormous. He is report
ed to have asked the late Emperor
Nicholas, when at Naples, witnessing
a review Of the army, whether his
marching such troops against France
would not strike terror into that
country. at might the Emperor
is said to have replied, ''if the GUS
tom house officer should permit
them to pass the frontier.

The Constitution prescribes the
testof loyalty asa qualification for
office; the Ritual prescribes reli.
|gious test which the constitution for
bids.
The Constitution requires every
officer to take an oath of fidelity to
the government; the Ritual exaets
an oath directly contrary to the sixth
article Of the Constitution.
The Constitution inquiries into the
honesty, capacity and loyalty of an
officer; the Ritual inquiries into his
birth place and religion.
The Constitution erects bulwark
for the defence Of civil and religious
liberty; the Ritual attempts to pull
down this bulwark and erect In its
stead rule Of prescription to pun
ish men for their birth aud religion.
The Constitution is peculiarly and
truly @American;" the Rituals out
landish, heathenish, anti-republican
and anti-christian.
The Constitution is the outgrowth
of Liberty and Intelligence; the Rit-
ual is the offshot. of ignorance, bar
barism and tyranny. The one dis
franchises freemsn; the other Gu
slaves bigots.--Mur. Nescs.
