1.-THE MEETING AT FANEUIL HALL"

OF she Quilted States.
FRANK STREET, Ch'n Rep. Co. Com.
Under this head, the Sioux City Register
refers to the meeting Of the Boston Boo.
Hoos. 1t calls that doughface demonstra-
ton, a "Union meeting, originating in call
signed by thousands Of the best and brayest
men of Massachusetts," All bosh! The
call for that meeting originated with the
Richmond (Va.) Whig-which, for the last
two months has been daily calling Justify
upon the North to take prompt measures to
satisfy the "chivalry' that they (the NOrth)
were not leagued with cold Brown" to
ovs,surn the Government and lberats all
the Slaves. This, says the Wing, can only
be done, by holding meetings in every city,
town, village and hamlet, IN all the free
States, to denounce the rebellion, and
all who don't denounce it, as we'll as all
who sympathize with the au.i-slavsry sensi-
ment. The people Of the North were not
only requested but absolutely ordered, under
che severe disp!sasurs Of the "chivalry," to
take prompt measures to satisfy them OF
our souniness. The Doughfuces Of Boston
par excellence the Boo Hoos Of the Union
were the first to PROSTATE themselves in
the dirt at the feet of their Southern masters.
The Boo lloos and di.t-eaters Of Philadcl-
phia and New York were the next to follow
sut--since which time, the "towns, villages
and hamlets" have to some extent, in their
weak way. responded to the crack Of the
whip and the clash Of the manacles. Such
humiliation as this, the Register e1tols as
Furnishing to tho country injubitabls proof
that tho power Of restoration is exerting
itself; that the masses Of the North are not
yet ready for revolt, and that the law haters
and union spoilers will not have their day
Of success at least in this generation.'
Well may the Register say "that the
masses Of the North are not yet ready for
revolt!" Such is the fact, and it needed
not thcsu % Union eetings" to convince our
Southern brethren Of this fact. They were
never in doubt upon this poiut, their vapor-
ings and clustering to tho contrary, not
wiihs.anding. If the masses of any section
ofths United States are "ready for revolt"
the Register knows in what direction to look
for revolutionary movements. II Union
meetings are to DO held, what IN ore appro-
rrinte than to confne their operations to
their proper 6s!d, the South. A cotemporary
very justly observes that, as IL solemn farce,
these meetings Of tho professional Union
Savers, are all very well. But wha. can DO
said for them in another light? What
Northern Congressman, what Northern man,
or set Of men, have been threatening to dis
sslve this Union, or disturb its peace p
Who at the North, even in the unfortun-
nts event Of the election of Democratic
President next year, proposes to smash our
Federal crockery2 Where is the cause
which nesess'.ates these lachrymose efforts
al the North? There is none the North
does not propose to dissolve the Union; nor
do they propose to suffer it to be done.
At tho South, these meetings would be
very appropriate. During tho past two
weeks, Southern Congressman have belched
forth more "disunion," and uttered more
".reason," than Old Brown ever thought
Of. Again and again upon the floors of our
National Capitol, has the threat been re-
peatsd, that in case Republican President
should be elected next year, this Union
must be dissolved. 1t matters not whether
he b elected in legal way, and in proper
form or mott matters not that q majority
Of the people may desire tit matters not
that they havsa right to do it if they choose,
the slave-drivers say that it shan't be done,
and that's enough. If it is done, the Union,
ws"rs told, shall 60 to smash! With these
babblsrs, the ballot-bo1 is all very well, and
majorisies are all very well, so long as their
verdict is iu harmany with their wishes
Then submission is a duty, and hesitation
treason. But if the decision shall be against
them, III the ma GRITTY shall decide for other
men and other measures-however strictly
these measures may harmonic with the
Constitution,-then rebellion is patriotism,
and treason virtue!
What An exalted position these Northern
Union Savers occupy, boo-hooins to such
sentiments uttered by such traitors! The
cause of this suffering by the Slaveocrncy,
10 too transparent. The Democracy see
the hand writing on the wall. The power
and treasure Of the Federal Government are
soon to pass from their grasp. The danger
10 imminent; they have not the votes to
svert the calamity they have not the ar-
sument. to do it; therefore, they are now
irving threats. This plan has succeeded
bsfsrs. but it will NOT now. Tho game ID
getting to Be an old one. So far as the
sIsc.ion Of Republican President is con-
esrnsd, We trust they will have an oppor-
UNITY to put their threats into execution, ii
,hsv dare. A stately COW, driven into their
ranks would spread terror and confusion
~ one recently did in the army OF Virginia
Should that prove Intellectual, shake the
halter in their face, as "Old Hickory" did,
and. If necessary, weigh them with it.
We cannot understand Why treason is moi
a. treat crime at the South o. Of the
North.
