The evidence Of this attempt on the

saved the Union. Henceforth no
4 man who loves the Union, will doubt
i the intelligence and devotion. Of the
adopted citizens; for had they not
jstood in the gap to stem the torrent

Its littleness IS unfit to lead the conn.

the Island Spirit Of Old England, and
does not possess that faculty Of expan
sion needed to take in continent of
States. New England has never pos

. and that she has always RIM intothe

Spiritual despotisln-u under which y
cry man had to square his opinions
and his conduct according TO the rigid
spiritual masters. Under Pnritallism
j there existed no federation for dis

to instant religious, social and civil
Recommendation. Though the other
extreme Observation-Disclosures has now

a nonessential, yet New Englandisnl

/ BY referring to the vote, it will be
seen that the States which voted for
Fremont are, III general forms, the
New England ones and their colonies.
Wherever the strictly Yankee blood
formed the bulk cf the population,
the ssno more slave States doctrine
has carried everything before it,
Thus, in New England proper, even
the staunchest Democratic States,
even. New Hampshire and Connecti-
cut, where the State rights party has
been powerful so long, went for Fro
mont. So'in New York, the western
and other couhtieswhich we're princi.
pally settled BY New Englanders, have
Ieyerborne the Hudson river counties
and the city of New York. In sour
. own State, Bradford, Tioga, and other
counties, the seats Of the Connecticut
reserve, and originally, therefore, col
onized from Connecticut, the majorl.
tiles for Fremont have been enormous.
