| The AMERICAN UNIoN.-The Balti.
more Patriot, in late issue, gives
graphic account of the reception anden
tcrtainment of the guests from the
Wescrn cities, who arrived inBaltimore
at recent day. Among the speeches
of the occasion those of Mayor Swawn
of Baltimore, and Gov. Chase of Ohio,
were pre-eminent. One Of the con-
Guiding paragraphs of Gov. Chase's
speech, touching upon the American
Union, deserves the widest circulation.
He said
You have spoken eloquently, sir,
of railroads as bonds of union, and
your observations were as just as they
were eloquent. No man conversant
with railroads can be disunionist.
The social intercourse which they
foster, the ties of business which they
create, the mutual dependence which
they establish and exhibit, make dis
union impossible. There must of
course, be differences of opinion on
some points. Real grievances may
from time to time demand redress.
But there is'no evil of which disunion
is the proper cure. And the more we
see of each other the less likely shall
we be to commit the error of thinking
otherwise. The fact is, that we who
live along the line of the American
Central railway, don't mean to let this
Union be broken up. Maryland will
not consent to it, I think. l trust
Virginia will not Ohio, am sure
will not Nor Indiana, or Illinois or
Missouri. Who, then, will? No,
sir. We may differ henceforth, as we
have done heretofore. We will main
tain our respective opinions and po-
sitions with candor, courtesy, frmress
and resolution. And we will refer
whatever question may be between
us to the great American tribunal Of
popular discussion and popular judg-
ment. But in the time to come, as in
the time past, we cleave to the Union
as our ark of refuge, and under God
our surest guarantee of prosperity and
and power and abiding glory"

1t is said that in q certain town in
southern Illinois, on the Fourth of Ju-
ly, the highly democratic population,
having heard something of the hereto
character of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, refused to hear it read, till
a wag asserted that it was written by
Senator Douglas.
The reader was then allowed to pro-
ceed, but when he came to the pas
sage declaring "all men created
equal" the sturdy democratic spirit
could bear it no longer, and the crowd
went off cursing the abolitionists,"
and declaring that Douglas was too
good a democrat to write such stuff !"
