attempting to excite instruction when our rights in
the Territories are respected then and not till them
will the South be satisfied But until them your
Union meetings amount to nothing Give US these
things and then we will begin to listen to what you
have to say.
Hear what distinguished Senator says in regard
to these Union meetings at the North:
Union saving meetings are of no earthly signif.
cance. He had nothing to say against those polti.
those meetings did not weigh q feathers weight in
Massachusetts. Boston had gone for the Republi-
cans At the recent election and the Cnion-savin
meeting held there was enough to produce such =
result Notwithstanding these threats on the floor
OF the Senate the people Of Massachusetts, would
give fifty thousand majority for whoever shall be
nominated as the Republican candidate for Presi.

Hear what else was said in one Of these Union
meetings At the North. Mr.. Cushing says:
All the political influences dominant in this
state were founded upon the single emotion of hate
aye bate reacherous ferocous fiendish hate Of our
1eIIow-catizens in the southern States"
Mr.. Gooch. II Mr.. Gushing used such language
ne stated what every, other man in Massachusetts
knew to be false.
Mr. Crawford. In reply to that, / desire to s.y
that when Mr.. Gushing expressed that sentiment
there was applause and cries Of "Goodin Good ~
in Faneuil Hail. Now, what il our duty, We nm.

the Canada side to rest and refresh himself some fifteen or twenty minutes, and again appeared upon the rope. This time he had his agent Mir. Henry colcord, a man weighing about one, hundred and thirty pounds, upon his back, and his balancing pole in his hands. He proceeded down the rope very slowly and cautiously if feeling every sep until he about one hundred feet from the Cana da side, when Mr. Colcord dsmounted and stood upon the rope immediately behind M Blondin, They here remained 10 rest probably three or four minutes, when MT. Colcord again mounted and M Blondin proceeded, still walking very slowly and stopping occasionally to balance himself They stopped five times in crossing, and each time MT. Colcord dlsmounted and again resumed his posi- tion He had his arms around NJ. Blondins neck, and his legs rested on the balancing pole He was in his shirt sleeves, and wore straw hat. About twenty-two minutes were occupied in accomplishing the first half of the rope, and the balance in twen- ty making forty-two minutes from bank to bank.
 For some seconds before the American shore was reached, the crowd gathered round the end of the rope, became very noisy, and good deal of excite ment prev aled, and when he reached the staging this side safely, the vast crowd shouted with the greatest enthusiasm.
 On reaching the landing, M. Blondin much flushed and appeared very much fatigued, while MT. Colcord was pale, but did not betray any signs of fear
 The daring feet was most successfully accomplish. ed, and we understand M. Blondin will repeat it on Wednesday of next week.
 The citizens of Norwich are making preparations for rope walking over the Thames at the ap preaching Cattle Fair for New London County They endeavored to procure the services of Blon din, lut he wanted l 800 dollars, while the Nor wich folks would only promise thousand. They have obtained some one at thelatter price, Bondin proposes, it is said, to cross the Hudson from the Palisades, to point the New Yorl, shore which will be the greatest feat yet perform ed, the Hudson being there much wider than the Niagara, and the distance of the rope from the sur face of the river will be higher.
