THE DISUNION CONVENTION.

In September it was announced that the Dis
union Aboitionists to the number of six thousand
had signed Call for a Convention to meet at
Cleveland to make measures for the dissolution
of the American Union. With these traitors to
the country the proprioty of dssolving the Union
seemed distracted by the financial pressure of the
times, with backruptcy staring the business inter.
ests into parazation, these A6oitionists halted in
their audacious movements-Tbe Convention was
attempted 10 be postponed. But yesterday the
leaders of the advance guard-the "forlorn hone
Of the Black Republicans arrived in this city, or
gauized at Chapin's Hall and declaring the post
ponement an unauthorized movement, leaped
into the discussion Of its chief end the dissolution
of the Union with all the characteristic fanatcisn
of the last years campaign. Abby Foster, Parker
| Pillsbury, Remond and others we're on hand W
Lloyd Garrison arrived to-day. G. c. Burlegh o
Connecticut, was also there, all burning with the
incendiary passion and expression glorfying the
expediency, the practicablity and the duty of oul
immediate dissolution of the American Union
But we cannot paint the features Of the Conven
tiou vividly as the actors themselves have done
in their resolutions Read them.
AT the opening of the afternoon session the fol
lowing resolutions offered by the Business
Committee. Here follow the resolutions.
1t will be asked who there are who sympathise
with these men in this damnable treachery to the
only bond which holds in harmony the peo-
pie of these thrty-one States? much larger
body of people from Maine to the Mississippi than
is generally suspected must be counted in this cat
egory. More than six thousand have signed the
Call. They themselves count upon large body
of old Liberty men, and vast numbers Of the
Black Republicans rs their supporters. All to-
gether in a solid phalanx they voted for Fremont
last year, believing and asserting that it was pre-.
cipiatng the country upon the verge of Disso
luton of the Union. They count with reason, up
on gathering hosts Of men brought up in the
school of Black Republicanism to the extreme Of
this fanatical notion. They, Abby Kelley, and
Foster and Garrison, will all tell you that the par
ty will be stronger in 1860 than ever, and that
thousands of public men and tens of thousands oi
voters are much better planted on this higher law
platform than they dare to openly avow. They
claim this to be the position of Governor Chase
and publicly advocated his election during thi:
last campaign in Ohio, asserting that he ripe
for this measure, hut only too much of a coward
to avow it. Black Republicans may play cool tc
the act of these fanatics but in the Reaction
which has followed the inglorous defeat Of 1855
there will he found large body of those who viii
not fall back, but having been pushed to the ex
treme of fanatcisLa will maintain the position ant
cling to this bold and revolutionary party which
would make q bonfire of the laws and Constitution
of our country, with as little compuncton as they
would of the wooden idols of all heathendom, O.
the bibles of al! Christendom.
