The Bluenosc Fiiibusters OF the North-Ncw
Projects or DIsunion.

Projects OF Disuni0n.
While Walker and his fire-eaters are wild for
extending the area of freedom" southwark an
active movement is now ON foot among our
Northern filibusters for similar operation in
another direction.
The plan Of the Northern filibusters comprises
nothing less than the separation from the British
Crown of all the British possessions in North
America. These IRE to be erected into grand
federal union, and then annexed to this country,
in order to overawe and overpower the South;
or, failing In that, to sever the Union and annex
the New England and Northern States to the Ca
madam federation, just as the Southern fre-eaters
propose to split US up, and annex the Southern
States to Cuba, Mexico and all other contiguous
territory.
This scheme has been long time on foot, and
we have frequently received information OF the
proceedings and movements Of the contrvers and
plotters. But they have made little progress
until during the past year, when large
number Of our Northern politicians have been
drawn into it, and the hopes Of the Northern
flibusters have revived Several active agents
in the scheme are now in our city, where they

impressing their views upon certain political
wirepullers. One Of the most prominent Of these,
and who represents the American portion Of the
plot, is Mr.. Andrews, the contriver of the ex-
listing Canadian Reciprocity treaty, and sup
posed writer of Mr.. Webster's well known
despatch on the fishery question On the other

If we may believe the outgivings OF Lord Der
bys organ the London Herald, the British govern
| ment is well aware of what is going on, and has
been induced to give its sanction to the plan in
| the hope Of creating counterpoise to the grow
| ing ascendancy Of the United States. This crea-
| ton Of counterpoise to this country is dream
which every British statesman, from Palmerston to
| Roebuck, INDUCES in more or less. The British
officials had the same sort of dream in 1872, when
| Henry humbuggcd Madison out of $4,000.

and broken down politicians in the North with
whom to concoct their disunion schemes just as
Walker finds them in the South for the purpose
Of assisting him in his plans. Their mode of
operating, however, is very different from that
Of the fire-eating Southern hlibusters. While
the latter can do nothing unless there is well
founded hope of a fight, the Bluenose flibuster
political wire pulling comprise his style OF ope-
ration. These schemers for disunion, both North
and South, present some very curious and
amusing characteristics to the phlosophic OBJ
server Of their movements, and those of the
North and the South both present in one respect
the same distinguishing trait. While they are
out Of public employment they are fierce dis
unionists, but no sooner do they get a fat place
at the public crib than they become the strong
est kind Of Union men. There are two notable
examples Of this which will illustrate the whole
tribe: Sam Houston was for long time iili-
buster and an anti Union leader; when Texas
came into the Union he became Senator, and
from that time was strong anti-Gibusier, until
he found he could hold his seat no longer; then he
went back to the iilibuster faith and now advocates
the regeneration ofMexico So, too, with JEFF. Da-
Wis. For years he was one Of the most ferocious
Of the disunionists until be got into the Cabinet
and then into the Senate, and now he sings an
other tune. So II will be with the broken down
politicians Of the North who go into this Blue
nose 6lbuster scheme Of Northern confedera-
ton.
The moral Of all this II, that there il deep
seated love Of the Union In the hearts Of the Ame-
rican people which can never be overthrow by
British intriguers fre-eating filibusters or Blue
Nose plotters. II is feeling founded on loyalty
to the constitution under which We have become
great people, and which, a. long as IL Is res
pectcd, will continue TO enhance our power aud
Importance in the affairs Of the world.
