"The Union is not worth supporting in
connection with the South."-Horace Gree
lev "The Constitution Is q reproach and a
league with Tophet" w. L. Garrison.
" The only issue Is the dissolution Of the
Union. The L. S. Constitution Is a coven-
ant with the Devil and an agreement with
Hell"-BostOu LiberatOr, june Both, 1856.
" 1t Is a Northern party against q Southern
which elected Banks, not a man from the
South voting for him-I hail it as a sign, q
great sign, 65c.-Rev. W. Phillips, Me- al
have great hopes of the overthrow of the

separate from the South, and organize her
Owu Institutions on a sure basis."-W. L.
Garrison. Rss0lrei, That the Union was
established 20 secure the liberty of American
citizens, and when 1t fails to do that, our
only voice can be, let the Union be dissOlgs}n'
Lowell Resolutions.
Should any man doubt or deny the object
Of the disunion party, l can furnish any
amount of ike testimony to prove their
reasonable designs. But the recent vote on
the Army Bill alone, puts the matter beyond
dispute.
1 hope every intelligent person viii draw
! his own conclusions, as St Paul advises, aud
be fully persuaded in his own mind, and then
to vote conScientiously. And here allow me
10 say one word about spiritual things-I
mean alchoholic-I wish that all those that
manufacture alchOhol 10 be used as a bever-
age, might be stopped, and that the whole
! system might be annihilated from the earth,
and that tobacco, in all its forms, might 90
with it, and will here inform all who expect
me to furnish liquor money for the purpose
/ Of aiding them to procure votes for me, or in
anv other way, will be entirely mistaken, rs
l have abundant uses for more money than
I can procure.
do not blame my opponent for believing
/ in Millerism. nor his brother the senator for
believing in Spiriualism, but am disposed
! to excuse both for their extreme ultraism on
account of monomania, and particularly the
senator, when he left his seat and told the
New Englanders that '' the whig party was
dead, yea stinketh."
hold that there IS and has been little diff
| ference between the old line Wings and De-
mocrats since the great compromise measures
| introduced by Henry Clay, in 1851; he-hav-
/ ing finished reading his last Compromise Bill
/ in the L. 5. Senate-the giant Of the Demo-
cratic party showed his magnanimity by leav-
ing his seat, and taking the hand Of the Wing
champion, said to him " Your bill Is right,
/ Just and national L will help YOU" He did
as be agreed, it passed, receiving the entire
| democratic vote and whig also, and was
/ signed by Millard Fillmore. Thus the two
great cOntending parties were united on the
/ greatest subject which has ever agilated our
republic. one which had shook il from cen
| tre 10 circumference.
| In 1852 both parties met in National Con-
vention. for the purpose Of selecting candi-
dates for the Presidency, and after making
/ their platforms, it was difficult to perceive
much difference. Returning from the great
I Wing Convention, AIr. Harris published in
/ the Herald, then he Herald Of northern Ohio,
/ that Millard Fillmore had conducted nobly,
/ boldly, conscientiously; that the fruit Of his
| glorious administration, had been national
peace, honor and prosperity.

would modestly enquire Of my opponent ii
he still adheres to his platform creed pub
lished in March, 1850, which reads as fol-

{ rights on all alike, and make their duties

er he voted for Martin Van Buren for Presi-
dent in 1o4S, knowing that he threatened
! Congress in his inaugural, that he would
veto any bill abolishing slavery in the Dis

the Amisted slave catching project; knowing
all about the Seminole slave catching forty
