The Union not to be Dissolved-A SouthernDough
face

The southern papers are terribly down
on Senate. Hammond of South Carolina
for his late speech, wherein he opposes the
annexation Of Cuba and South America
and the requirement of more slave labor
from Africa-juss what Black Republicans
have been preaching for years. Further
more, Senator Hammond wonld not cut the
throat of his country and stab the constltu-
ton to the heart because of any failure to
establish negro slavery in every part OF the
American continent He also hints that
he would not dissolve the Union in event
Of an election of w. II. Seward to the
Presidency; this last is the unkindest cut
of all 10 his late speech, inasmuch as 1t had
been represented everywhere by the dem
ocratie party that the union was to be split
into flinders and wiped out of existence in
event of the election of John G.. Fremont
or any other Republican. Senator Ham
mond says that Douglas Kansas and Ne
bra.ka bill and the Lecompton Constitu
ton of Buchanan should have been kicked
ont ofCongress--both being the worst atiiic-
tions ever suffered by the South and the
spawn of northern traitors to the union&t he
whole country-precisely what the Repub-
licans have been affirming every day, min
ute and moment ever since the day those
bills were presented He also says ''the
rejection of the Leconpton Constitution
under the English bill by the vote of the
people of Kansas was what he expected
and rather desired" al of which the Re-
publicans expe ted and rather desired.-
He says he began political life most de-
cided disunionist, but finds that the peo-
pie of the South are overwhelmingly op-
posed to disunon-just what Republicans
know to be true. Indeed, Senator Ham
mond appears to have borrowed all his pos
itions and arguments from the N. \. Tri-
Jnne His whole speech appears like a
dressed up mess, with here and there a cut
at aboIitionIsm from his own brain, drawn
from the Tribune columns. Hammond,
claims however. that his speech is all his
own; and where he affirms that in few
months the north will be united against
any more slave territory, against disunion,
against the slave trade, against slavery ev-
erywhere, his laundering fulminatious are
decidedly alarming, except to people of the
north, who understand that clustering and
action are not the same thing. This same
Hammond only few months ago was
going 10 have the poor whites made slaves
because he thought them incapable Of self
government. Seeing what is what, and
that the north has sundry rigLts-seeing
that the slave democracy has ruled for tif-
ty-four years, and in all that time the
flourished in spite Of adverse wind
and tide blown from the South, Hammond
condescends to knock under, just like a
chilli.

SEwARp's SPEEcH-The part of Sew
ards Rochester Speech alleged to contain
reasonable sentiments. and against which
there is such general democratic cutlery,
reads as follows:
"WhileI do confidently believe and hope
that my country will vet become land Of
universal Freedom, do not expect that it
will be made so otherwise than through the
action Of che several States, cooperating
with the Federal Government, and all act
ing in strict conformity with their respec-
tive Constitutions"
We have read the protest published in
democratic papers but do not understand
it. The gist appears to be, that should the
people approve such sentiments, there can
be no furrRer use for a democratic party
also, Seward holds that the people Of a
state can constitutionaliy undo what they
have done-which is not democratic.
Senator Hammond of South Carolina
also made a distinguished speech lately,
taking precisely opposite position from
Seward,as the following extract will show /:
"You must not suppose for moment
that am opposed to the extension of the
area Of African slavery. On the contrary,
| believe that God created negroes for no
other purpose than to be the .hewers Of
wood aud the drawers of water-that is. to
be the slaves Of the white race; and wish
to see them in that capacity on every spe,
on the surface of the globe where their la
Dor is beneficial. Nor do doubt that such
will be the final result"
The N. Y. Day Book, democratic pa
per, referring to the two'par graphs above
quoted, says that they contain the whole
matter of difference between the democrat
ic and Republican parties, that slavery Of
freedom must be established on everv foot
Of American soil, and that none but two.
faced deceivsrs can deny it.

Arguments to be used by Doagf faoes.

AS the bold and defiant porthern de.
mocracv are so much in the habit of ''sav
ing the Union" by charging disunion mo-
Itives on all who differ with them, we pres
ent the following threat to dissolve the ties
that hind us from late speech made by
jefferson Davis, e. s. Senator of Mlssiss-
iippi; speaking of the probable election of
la KerubHcan President in 1860, Davis
said:
"F'or his part he had but one answer to
give. When that happened; when the
Government was in hostile hands, when
the Presidency and the houses of legsla
ton were controlled by the enemies of the
South, he was for asserting the indepen-
deuce of Mississippi; he was for immediate
withdrawal from tie Union.
He advised them to turn their old mus
Ikes into Minnie rifles, prepare powder,
shot, shell, ammunition of all kinds, and
Notifications, so rs to be ready against e.
emergency. Get skilled artifcers who
could cast cannon, make guns and manu-
facture nil the n acess airy implements Of wa
fare: that this was but the part of prudent
precaution. II effect world be to strength
en- and not to weaken the bonds of the I'm
ion; to cener and not separate the
States. If the North saw and felt that We
were in earne st, aud would not permit ag
gressions be,'ond certain point, they
would cease / 0 exist"
Ofcourse, the Democratic papers Of The
North, which have teemed for weeks past
with denunc atoms of Senator Stewards
"Disunion Speech" at Rochester, pass over
In silence, or with the very gentlest cen
sures, the fire eating, fanatical and treason
able harangue of Senator Davis. Let the
People note, his significant fact.
