~Mr. BREcKINRIDGE is reported to have
said in his recent Frankfort speech:

said in his recent Frankfort speech:
"That the Representatives from Georgia,
Alabama, and Mississippi bad expressed
themselves as ready for separation"
The Vice President should have excepted
the two Opposition Representatives from
Georgia. They have not not expressed
themselves as ready fc- separation" The
disunionists 10 Congress from the South are
confined to the Democratic party. In almost
all of the Southern States the disunion ele-
ments of the Democratic party predominates.
II 10 hard task master, and rules with an
iron rod. 1t tramples upon the poor Union
lists of the party, without mercy; and the
time will perhaps soon come. when, in the
exercise of It's despotism, it will not permit
them even to protest against its 'unhailow-
cd" spirit. The Democracy which learned
its patriotism in the school Of JACKSON, is
fast becoming one OF the "tbiDgs that were"
Even here in Tennessee it 10 on the wane.
This is a bad sign-one Of the worst indica-
lions of the baleful results OF the agitations of
the day, which call for the union of the con-
srvatives CT all parties for the preservation
O. our Institutions. Let the honest, patriot
ic masses everywhere rise up against the dis
unionists.

A Drscnlprlos OF rpxAs.-The Rev. Bishop

Description OF TExAs.-The Rev. Bishop
Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Texas, gives the following picture of that State
Texas is a curious country-a paradox
Everything is in the superlative, OF contradict
tory, marvellous. tits the richest and the poor
est-has the best land and the meanest water !;
Is the hardest country to live in, and has the
most to live on; the days are the hottest, and
the nights the coolest here are the most rivers
and the least waters; the best roads and the
slowest travel; the finest building material and
the least use made of it; there are more cloud,
and less rain; more plains, and less timbers
more ropes to tie horses, and yet more estrays !;
poor country for farming, and yet the most
productive the least work and the largest yield;
the horses are small and the cattle big; the
frogs have horns, and the rabbits have ears like
mules the people are intelligent without gen.
eral education-inventiv without being tricky
refined without mannerism-rich without
money-hospitable without houses bold gen.
erous and brave. In fine, here is an empire in
extent and resorces, but in the slowest process
OF evolution, and yet destined to population,
wealth and power. There is much to admire,
but little to deploro many things to enchant
but few to offend and for the people and their
institutions there is splendid future.

qualification, that he too is on the side of the
Union. The "Blue Hens Chicken" has never
yet given birth to any public man who has ever
talked about the alternative Of disunion, much
less contemplated it. She is not the home of
traitors, even in thought, to our glorious Union,
though she is a slave State, but like her coter-
minous neghbor, our own dear Maryland, she is
ready and able TO defend her labor institutions
from all attacks, whether from within or with
out, and that, too IL the Union, and not OUT of
it, and we know the Union had no truer defender
on the floor ofthe Senate than Willard Salisbury
After brief notice of Mr. SIS anteccdents,
the editor says:
Senator Saulsbury's friends in Delaware look
for him to make his mark when the occasion
comes, and we believe they will not be disap-
pointed. In the present state of public affairs,
he will not lack opportunity. Disunionists
need the sternest rebuke and we trust Mr.. Sauls-
bury will not hesitate to administer il at the
proper time. Andno only he, but his colleague
Mr. Bayard, and our Maryland Senators, too.
