TIE UNION DsssOLYRD.

THE UNION DISSOLVED:
With inexpressible cOncen and emotion do We
find ourselves compelled to inform our afflicted
readers that that delicate and fragile piece of crock
cry. the American Union, has exhsled-coilapsed--
expoded-gone, in short, TO everlasting smash
After standing valantly the pyrotechnic flights of
Fourtb-ofJuly orators, the rhymes of patriotic
poets and the croakings of gin-inspired prophets,
for more than seventy years, it went up on Tues
day of this week. And it is the people of NEw-
YORK and NEw-JERsEY that have hardened their
hearts and stifIened their necks and been and
gone and done it," Nor can they plead ignor-
ance in excuse for this nefarious proceeding. They
were amply forewamed and admonished of the mis-
chief they were dong-of the death-blow they were
striking to the hopes of the champions of Freedom
throughout the world. Not to dwell on the Hcrcu-
lean labors of The Journal Of Commerce, the Fifth
Avenue Hotel Committee, and the oratorlcal IN
dustry of Gov. Seymour, it is sufficient to state
that The Constitution bir. Buchanan's home organ,
on Saturday last Lifted up its voice and brayed the
following solemn warning:

Then The H,roid, catching up the note, echoed
on the morning of our election, as follows:
Another Southern correspondent write. from Norfolk in the
following aarmins strain:

We might quote any quantity more of this
trash from the greater and lesser oracles of the
Sham Democracy, but We can ell our space better,
and these must suffice. The people of New-York
and New-Jersey having spurned this attempt to
browbeat and irigbten them out of their convictions
there is of course nothing left for but disunion
anarchy, civil war, fire, fury, slaughter and all
imaginable horrors. And yet, in the face and eyes
of this appalling prospect this awful impending
doom, there were miscreants at the Board of Bro
kers yesterday utterly lost 10 every instinct of
patriotism SO deaf and blind TO every portent OF
National ruin so callous TO every consideration of
self.interest even, as 10 bid for and buy United
States six per cents. redeemable in 1867 at l0S, or
eight per cent. above par And some of these fool
hardy buyers are said-though the tale il hardly
credibe-to be- chronic UniOn-savers and members
of Watts Sherman's Fifth Avenue Hotel Committee
the hub on which the Union revoked ill the
Union was no more.
Seriously: is il not time that this business of
setting up scarecro@s 10 brighten grown men, were
given up Ought not at least the immediate organ
of the President and Cabinet TO be ashamed of
dabblng in it 4! We can assure the dealers in this
sort of humbug that the People Of New-fork and
New-JerSey have no mind either to dissolve the
Union themselves or let il be dissolved BY others.
They cannot fully answer for what may take place
while is preservation is LEFT TO the tremulous hands
and infrm purpose of our present Federal Execa-
tive; but they viii take that, after the 4th o.
March, 156l, there shall he a President in the
White House after the pattern OF Andrew Jackson
and Zachary Taylor, who will take care that the
Union shall not be even in danger of dissolution
that Disunionists shall not sit in the high places OF
the !and-and tina, ever attempt TO bully sovereign
States shall meet with prompt and decided repro
baton. So much, at least, may be safely counted
