stance that occurred when Lycurgus was marching
against ore Of the Eastern tyrants, who was IN the
habit OF having lis own way pretty much. he hesr9
from q herald that the Romans were marching toward
him, with :. legion or two. For bringing this III news,
bis hesf was taken Of. Again another told tins KING
that the Romans were npproachngi he ordered nus
bead 10 be taken of. THIS continued until, NJ iaSli
none were to be found % bold as 10 tell hm OF the

be saw the legions of Rome following Lycurgus.
"Why" said he :" who are they J II they are embas-

great contempt for them now, but you will md they
are much more numerous-mnch larger AFTER "hie.
II thew come as ambassadors they too many; but

Der the Eastern monarch with his myriads OF men was
put TO fight in two three hours. That only shows
that bad news, although unwecome, Is nevertheless
frequently true

DISSOLUTION or THE UNION.
IL ,tVarf IN try N
that You would suppose they would dodge into
! every known corner, would you not What lodges
have they tried First, you know Slavery was
local institution, and Congress had no nsnt 10 inter-
fere with H. That was once the Democratic doctrine.
| Then the next pretenson was that Congress had
right 10 interfere and could repeal the Missouri Com
promise That was another dodge. The next was
that the people had right to settle the question LOT
themselves. That was another dodge As soon as
/ they tried that with Old Brown, and II Jailed, they
came back TO the old dodge again. that Congress did
have the right To interfere with II, and mad rlgn 10
pass law admitting Kansas as a Slave State, ana
saving To the people of Kansas If you VIII come m as
a Slave State, YOU shall have 80 much money! but II
not, you shall not come in without certain popua-
ton, and perhaps not then we VIII consider ABOUT
when the time comes. Popular Sovereignty would
not do douglas you are a squeezed orange, and
we will throw you away. Then came another
dodge: The United States Courts came IN and did
their part That would not do, and now The dodge is,
ii we elect President of the United States by popu-
lar vote-by the will of the greatest number-f we,
by the great popular, constitutional majority OF the
lawand-order men, elect President, leaving the ma
jority To you-you say you viii dissolve the Union.
Let Us look NJ that while-his new dodge for lsoO
II Won elect Republican President eve will dissolve
the Union." Who are re2 Let us look at that.
1--WE" the shareholders, the number one, might I'M
der foolish prejndees, think that " we couid DO
better by dissolyng the Union; but what are You, me
twenty men of Kentucky, going to do why dis
solve the Union Answer me that. We, the Repub-
hcans say that in the Free Territories OF our common
country there shall be- place reserved for yon and
your children in case misfortune, slave competition
shall drive Won from your homes into exile, into some
new country, "a il has sent millions, where you shall
be untrammeled and undegraded again by ahorlng
alongside the unpaid slaves For this you are gong to
dissolve the Union.
Well. now that reminds me of an anecdote that
nsed To hear in old Madison. There il goodnatured
old grandmother who had all her children grown up
and married OFF and little grandchild used 10 come
and see her. Well, when tins child wanted anything
of her grandmother and she found she could not pre-
vail on her good feelings, she would exercise on her
fears. When the old lady refused 10 give her anything
she wanted she would 20 10 the top Of the stairs and
say, Now, grandmother, give it me, or will throw
myself down stairs" and the good woman would be
much moved, and would say, Don't honey, come
and get it, don't for Gods sake throw yourself down
stairs L. there any who is laborer who does
not feel that this thing Of Slavery is degrading TO him
IL there any that does not feel this Have not felt
it Have not my children felt IT since have been
brown into this new attitude of Observation-Disclosures
now are You going TO throw yourselves down stairs
THE FOOLISH FOOLS.
In the first place, let look to the shareholders
themselves. They are not ali fools-though some of
them are the biggest fools that ever saw, because
thew belong to the class of foolish FOOLS" and the
old man said " the id foolish fools" he eould not
stand and being asked what they were, he said they
were the fools who did not know 1t, or who boasted
of it, Gentlemen, the whole cotton crop, that is said to
be King that is said to do the commercial exchanges
at home and abroad without which the world would
come 10 IN end, is nothing The census shows that
cotton cuts but small figure as production of the
United States, il being but one-thrteenth of the
whole Why the insignificant thing of hay, that
Gen. Shelby said he would not rase-a little dry
grass as he called it's produced in larger quantities.
II any tells me cotton If king, tell him 1t Is no
such thing Hay is king. Well, the cotton crop is
about eighty millions of value. Well, gentlemen, the
Government expended eighty millions during the last
year. and we all thought that was large; even the
Democratic party thought that was too large sum.
Well, now, suppose you Dissolve the Unlon-suppose
YOU have succeeded Gen. Wise proposes in taking
Harper's Ferry by the way, Brown has Harpers
Feryl and YOU take Washington and the archives;
how are YOU 10 maintain it Does any man say that
the Southern ConfedeTacy will not have 10 have
larger internal police, a larger marine, and larger
navy when they have not only 10 stand against the
powers of France and Great Britain but the whole of
the Free North. There is man Of common sense but
will admit that the expenses OF such Government
will have to be larger than they Foot it up.
When you have paid the expenses of your internal
police of your Southern Union, of your foreign navy,
of your home army, OF course II viii make more than
eighty Millions That is to say, when your whole crop
has been sold providing always that you sell IL sue
cessfully You have spent every dollar Of the income
to preserve the peace and you have not single dollar
with which 10 buy pork and beans, and your niggers
and jeans.
KENTUCKY AND DISSOLUTION.
Well then, say. if the shareholders were, by any
fanaiiesm or false IDEAS Of prosperity induced 20
into such q scheme that, what has Kentucky gam
by it There is not Shareholder in the Common
