The DIsUNGoN CRY.--For the past twelve
months, it has been the constant occupation
of The extremist press to urge the necessity
of immediate disunion, or preparation tor
some impending crisis which will cali for
such d Gernier resort. But these croakers
are too we'll known to excite any zeal ap-
prehension among Uniou-loving men North
or South. The fact 10, that tse true ard Simon
Pure disunionists per St constitute but a
small, squad of the so-called extremists. The
main body is composed OF malcontents with
the present organization of the Democratic
Party, who are ready to seize on any topic
which offers opportunity for agitation, and
tn us promises to throw the party into pi and
create the necessity for Il new arrangement OF
its pernsonale which may suffice to elevate
some discontented gentlemen in the scale Of
political importance. Experience has already
demonstratedth that some OF our politicians, who
continually preach the doctrine that Soetlt-
ern rights are endangered by the continuance
of the Union, are not adverse to a covert
leugue with Abolitionism itself, if such Il
league will guarantee themselves an III
creased share of power and patronage.
But whether corruption or fanaticism COR
%stitutes the primal element of destructionist
organization, the organization is, itself, too
weak to offer an uncovered front on the
field Of popular contest. Il resorts to all the
indefinite outlines ana vague uncertainties
of a phantasmagoria. To this day the public
is uniformed as to the nature or the extent OF
the impending danger of disunlon SO ire
quently and positively asserted, OF late, in
mere generalities. This specie of operation
has its advantage, so far as the partial sue
cess of its promoters are concerned. The

though they are--are yet only men after ALL
and like all men, they may occasionally he
hoaxed by false reports, and startled by need
less apprehensions. More than that they
may be deceived temporarily into lighting
shadows, by ~intriqaers whose interest 1t Is
to divert their attention from the substantial
issues which demand public attention.
Thus it is that a few organs of t~hescouSer-
vative Press have lately exhibited SYMPTOMS
of apprehension for the safety of the Union.
Whispers are circulated to the effect that
something of concealed Importance is now
in process Of con coction among members eli
Congress which threatens a speedy outburst

the signs Of the times or TO control the ten

But there are some things in
our political world which are Tar beyond Their
reach. Il requires the warmth OF sovereign
ty itself to hatch disunion, and not one SOW
ereign voice has ever yet pronounced IN ia
vor OF dissolution. Newspaper correspond
ents may discover mares nests--honorable
members may shrug their shoulders and wear
mysterioug faccs--vlolent demagouges may
raise a loud cry ofialse alarm-all this and
more may become a matter of daily recur-
renee, and yet the Union will remain safe
in the hands of its proper guardians, the
people of the States.
The treasure of the Union and the treas
ure OF State Rights are both intrusted to their
keeping. There is no danger Of their being
lulled into a false security. When they are
called upon to prepare for the worst--to face
disunion itself for the sake Of State Rights
their answer will be, "We are already pre-
pared" Especially is it unnecessary to eX-
cite the people of Virginia by repeated clam
| 2rs to prepare for war in the midst OF peace.
Strong and self-reliant, our old Common
wealth can wear in safety the bonds of sis
terly affection in common with all the States
of this Confederacy. She is no pigmy TO be
chafed by the gentle bond of loye and Union
and no power on earth is strong enough TO
convert this claim of voluntary Union into
the shackles of tyranny, even in her mo-
ments of deepest tranquility. No over
wrought excitement-no defiant attitude to-
wards the members of the Confederacy, is
