MOVEMENTS FOR THE UNION.

II would be strange if the patriotic SEN
timent of the great northern Atlantic cit
les did not find expression at such crisis
rs the present. Their interest in the
Union is so immense that il becomes them
to take the lead in demonstrations which
shall be followed all through the North.
They arc doing this. Philadelphia spoke
on Wednesday, Boston spoke yesterday,
and New York will speak in few days.
We have as yet only telegraphic &C
counts Of the meetings in Philadelphia
and Boston, but no doubt they were such
as the occasion demanded. A fact stated
by the Journal Of Commerce is indica-
tive of what the demonstration in New
York will be. That paper of Monday
says: "About IL o'clock yesterday fore
noon, the annexed paper was placed on
our counter, and notice of the fact
posted on our bulletin. Before night
more than three hundred and fifty per.
sons, chiefly merchants, had signed it,
being at tho rate of ore an a minute on
an average. First and last we have had
a great many memorials, DC, left in our
Office for signatures, but never before,
with so slight notice, was anything
like such a number of signatures APP
pended" Copies of the call left at 9th
or public places were signed with great
avidity. The following is the call:
1.-THE undersigned, citizens of New
York, DESTROYS of indicating the North,
and expressing their sympathy with the
men of the South in the present crisis,
and their adherence Of the motives and
acts of John Brown and his followers, in
their assault upon the pence, safety, lives
and property of their fellow-citizens of the
State of Virginia, and in favor of giving
public expression of rebuke to the dan
gerous and revolutionary doctrines now
currently taught, of sympathy for muir
der and treason, and DESTROYS of redeem
ing the North from the discriminating
stigma cast upon its fidelity to the prin-
ciples upon which the Union of these
States was formed, arc in favor Of calling
a public meeting in this city at an early
day to give expression TO the above SEN
timents."
When all the great Atlantic cities shall
have spoken, will not the WEST move?
To whom is the UNION of more value
than the people of the WEST!

The National Executive Democratic
Committee met this evening at Wizards

rect the telegraphic Misrepresentation
concerning the interests of the democrat
ic party. The committee then adjourned
sine die.

Popular Feeling IN the south.


Thus far the northern black republican
journals have affected TO ridicule and make
merry over The alarm and Indignation OF
the southern people, and TO treat with lev
vity the anxiety of northern conservative
men regarding the future of the Unlon.---
Senator Hunter, of Virginia, rightly
characterized this ridicule and this levity
the other day in allusion to the indul-
gence in it by Mr. Hale, of New Hamp-
shire. "Upon such an occasion as this"
said Mr.. Hunter, (which has no parallel
in the history of the country, the lcvity
displayed by the Senator from New
Hampshire is like the laugh of the ine-
briate at the bed of DEATH" If the north
ern people do not now realize, they will
soon realize, if the progress of anti-slavery
(anaticism shall not be stopped, that the
Union Of these States is in danger, and
that it is held together rs by the strength
of but thread, which may at any mo-
ment be snapped.
We are in no degree surprised at the
state of popular feeling in the South. II
arises, not from the mere raid of old
Brown,-this would have been but @
small matter of itself-but from the ap
parent almost universal sympathy fol
Brown by the black republican party, rs
manifested through its journals and thro
public meetings held by men belonging tc
that party. 1t arises from the apparent
magnitude of the sentiment in the NORTH
which justifes and applauds interference
with slavery in the States, in whatevel
form such interference may be undertaken
1t arises from the evidence which this ap
plause of interference furnishes that the
irrepressible conflict" about which 81
much has been said, will speedily assum,
the characteristics of Browns invasion
and event, at no distant day, in civil war
We should, rather, be surprised if thi
state of popular feeling did not prevail il
the South. The South want peace. /
is absolutely essential to them. If the,
cannot have it in the Union, they mas
seek il out of the Union. 1t is idle TO sa,
that they cannot live out of the Union.-
No country on the face of the earth ha
within itself more of the elements of :
high state of civilization and materia
prosperity than the southern States.-
The Union is of vastly less Importance t.
the South than TO the North, The Nortl
could unquestionably live without it, bu
their wealth and prosperity would be i'm
mensely diminished by separation.
The people of the North, we say, vii
soon realize that the Union Is an danger
and in such danger rs il has never bee
before. Then will come the issue: UN
ION or Dissolution. 1t cannot be escap
ed. 1t will present itself to every citize
and one side or the other of il every Gil
} izen must take. And it must be Unio
which will leave to each State the sol
and exclusive management of its own dc
} nestle affairs, or no Union at all. /
: must be Union in which the fanaticisn
which has applauded old Brown will b
: deemed Infamous, or it can be no Uniol
| at all. bet. Free Press.

A SECTIONAL PARTY.-Who says the
black republican party is not sectional
partyG They have not polled the vote
in any State they did in 1856, and yet
at the Presidential election that year they
had not a single, solitary vote in Alabama
or Arkansas, in Florida or Georgia, in
Mississippi or Missouri, in Louisiana OF
North Carolina, in Tennessee, Texas, or
South Carolina, only 314 out of l42, 900
in Kentucky, only 2s1 out of $4,000 in
Maryland only POI out of 100000 in
Virginia. The total black republican
vote in one-half the States of the Union
was only 1904, and in eleven of these
States there was not single vote. And
yet the black republicans assert that they
are not sectional party.

THE BOSTON MEETING.

The public meeting in Boston, concern
ing which we said something Yesterday,
will be held to-day. The following is the
call:
Z" In view Of the present disturbed con
dition of public sentiment and the dan
gers which threaten our Union, the un-
dersigned respectfully invite the citizens
of Massachusetts, who honor and cherish
that Union-who mean TO maintain the
constitution of tho United States, and
faithfully to carry out all its requirements
and obligations, to meet with them in
Faneuil Hall, on Thursday, the Sth of
December, instant, at ii o'clock, a. NJ"
The executive committee consists Of
William Appleton, Franklin Haven, John
II. Heard, Geo. Lunt, S. T. Dana, Sidney
Webster, L. II. Saltonstall, and Henry
Gardner. The venerable ex- Gov. Lincoln
had been invited to preside. Either Mr..
Everett or Mr.. Gushing would speak, and
ex-President Pierce, ex-Gov. Clifford aud
ex-Judge Thomas had been invited TO do
so. The Post says: "The ardent ap-
probation this movement receives from
the community generally must be graft
flying evidence to the gentlemen engaged
in it that they are performing n welcome
and beneficial service" If Boston shall
speak as she ought to speak on this occa-
sion, her example will be felt al over the
country, and tho fanaticism which has un-
dertaken to canonize horse thief, robber
and murderer will send it reeling to the
earth. bet. Free Press.
0 BLACK LAKE HARDoR.-During the
past week the Harbor Contractors have
let TO Mr.. Zuidweg the job of building
four hundred feet Of pier in addition to
the job which was let to him last spring.
The piers are 10 be finished by August
lst, 1860, and when suitable pier heads
of piling and crib work arc added to
them, according to the plan, the outside
work on Black Lake Harbor will be COM
pleted.
According TO contract this must be
done by Sept, 1860, and we have no
doubt that the contractors will be able to
fulfill their engagements.
There is now channel depth of seven
and half feet, and we hope for ten feet
Of water in the channel after the compile
ton of the piers. Next season we need
a lighthouse very much. We shall sec
whether the United States will build one
for us, or whether we shall have to light
our harbor ourselves, rs well as build it.
After completing the works outside, the
contractors will make the necessary i'm
provements inside 10 render Black Lake
the most perfect and capacious barbor on
Lake Michigan.
A light here would have enabled the
Brig Missouri TO enter Black Lake in safe
ty, instead of going ashore as she did, last
week, about two miles south of the piers.
