Carolina whilst they ore as wide apart as the poles
on all that relates to the question Of slavery, agree
most cordially in regarding the immediate dssou

and were it not always us by the old warcry Of the
National Democracy Of "he Union must and shall b,
preSerosd," tho work Of disunlon would have long
since been accomplished. At the North this faction
os dsunonists is kept down by the conservatism Of
the National Democracy and by the good sense Of the
commercial classes.
These fanatics ara perfectly sincero in their desire
for immediate dissolution Of the Unioa; aud. their OBJ
jection to i,s continuance that they crush out
the institution Of slavery in the Southern Statea.
ihe deesation which tho disunionists Of the Gar
risonan school feel for the National Democracy is
fully great that Of the hsrcny and its dsunion
faction in South Carolina. They feel that whils the
Democracy stand Grm there is shance for the &C.
coaipshnent Of their wicked designs. This lion in
their path ia the National Democracy. III the srasp
of the Democracy ihoy aIe as harmless q viper

lswless foSsy rpon the rights of the South that they
ars uoi routed and driven baok broken and dispired
} by that great party which "knows no rections."

Leaving Boston, ea ,oui. for Charleston, We find
the intelligent, conservative, Union-loving ci7ens
of all the States free and slave, through which

faction in New York and Phladelphis. In New

through which you pass i'll your journey to Charles

we hear no word ahont disunion. Diverge from the
regular routr Us Ear ss the lakes which separate
possessions from those Of Great Britain, and you
every where find strong, healthy, vigorous atirc
tiun for the Uniun-an atmosphere pure, 20 free
from malaria, that disunionist cannot live comora

the union for the preservation OF free Institutions.
The angry harsh yeA Of the di.unionst is not heard
distinctly until you reach Charleston There you fnC
selcc. ten party Of dsuuonists swearing by tht
Arrcar p and danning the Union with perseverance,
and Industry which they exhibit in nothing e!se-
There you tiad small portion Of discontented gen

cracy and rs camoruus for dissolution Of the Union
as Garrison and Phillips. There you begin to hear
the noble old State of Virginia denounced as u de
ser,er" and tratress TO the South. Theirs you
hear every Southern gentleman, who IL mild ahd
conservative, mpesehed as :" traitor, and called
AL sneiny to the South" if no objects to apply the
torch to the national edtice. There, under the
teachings Of the Mercury, you hear the dsunon
slang about the cotton States as no slave holder
could bs trusted unless he was cotton planter
There you hear all sorts of insane and suicidal talk
about the cotton Stsies." placing no confidence in
! inu And
there, from morn till night in journals daily semi
weekly and weekly you hear ihe National Demo
cracy accused Of all sorte of imaginary crimes against
| the cotton States
Curses deep and lond against the Union and the
Democracy are mingled with abuse OF Virginia be-
cause she will not Iesl lhe column Of disunios.s.-
Virginia politicians are politely requested in the
elegant language of the leading organ Of this little
faction "tn sJngA of from tie South r0iirn TO her
y;yAls." Thank Heaven. this party, although mis-
chieyous, is not dangerous. The Union and the Ma.
onal Democracy have suffered very little from the
assaults Of this faction, and this is free country,
the liberty OF speech allows large latitude for abuse
and denuncistion
During the most successful portion Of Napoleon
