10 the salutatory address of the new edi

say
1--WE have never regarded this National
Union in the light of a mere expedient ar
rsngement of selfish though ooincident IL
terests. 1t is a sacred bond Of faith, en-
desred by common sacrifices, and bsllowed by
cherished memories and mutual Affections
Its value cannot be weighed against the mere
calculations Of expediency. 1t most endure
until national dishonor shall displace mutual
respect among the members Of the confede'
racy. No alternative short of an absolute
inffaction of pledged faith aud State sover-
eighty, can justify 90 attempt against the To-
tegrity of the Union"
With these noble sentiments, a jealous re-
gard for state rights is not Incompatible

quirer. but we cordially agree with it in the
opinion it holds with regard to the Union.

wish to drive slave labor from our free terrific
ries, they must look to foreign labor as the best
means of doing it; and hence, all anti-'lave-

foreign emigration. We must have more
foreigners here and they should be of the
