is DISSOLUTION IMMINENT /

i
IL SUITS tue purposes Of the black re-
publican orators and journals to treat the
black cloud Of dissolution which is rising
in the southern horizon as a mere gust
which will subside in a week alter LIN
colin shall be eected--if such shall be
the event of the election.
We have no desire to magnify the
threatening danger. We seek only to
keep the people of Michigan advised of
the true state of the impending crisis, 4
1t is an utterly false security in which
black republican orators and journals en-
deavor to lull the public mind of the
North.
For the truth of what we here say we
appeal to disclosures which reach the
public even through journalds which sup
mort the election of LINCOLN. We APP
peal to the Washington correspondence
which we elsewhere reproduce from the
Ne,o York Times, and to letter in the
same paper from a correspondent writing
from Montgomery, Alabama, who, among
other things, says
"The news of the elections of Pennsyl
vania and Indiana served only to strength
en- the forebodings which have already eX.
J listed in reference to the final result, and
the question is pushed home with only
the more earnestness, What will you do
| if Lincoln is elected?' Many, perhaps a
majority, sympathizers Of Yancey flew
here would take him as leader) advocate
secession. And let no Northerner sup
pose that these are mere idle threats
empty rasconade. The feeling is not
the hasty growth of a momentary impulse,
bnt in many cases result of long rehec-
ton, on the part OF men who honestly
mink their rights infringed upon-that
they are having taxation without practi.
MISREPRESENTATION, and, thinking so, would
take up arms with all the enthusiasm OF
Hampden."
This is the testimony of a correspon'
dent Of journal which supports the cleo
ton of LINCOLN
We print the Washington correspon'
dcnce Of The Times as current intelligence
without intending to endorse its allega
tons concerning the implication Of high
Federal officials in the disunion move
mcnts. We print it that the people Of
Michigan may see that the disunior
movements are not mere summer storm
and that they may not be deceived by
the siren song Of the local black republic
can journals here. .'
We certainly are not deceived in be
lievinp that every voter in Michigst
wishes to approach the ballot-box will
open eyes
We ourselves say that the election o
Lincoln will not be cause for dissolution
, But we cannot close our eyes and ears t.
l the possibility, the almost certainty, tina
dissolution will be the immediate conse
, quence Of his election.
TH shall not be the immediate eOnst
! qusace, the calamity cWhars been cverted b
: the character Of the House, soLtch wW be d.
termiaea on tie dag Of the Presidential ete'
, ton. If the House shall contain ma
s iorty of conservative men, that fact ma
T possibly have a tranquilizing effect upo
' the southern public mind. Certainly tina
: fact will furnish southern Union men
J. powerful weapon in the battle for Ga
g Union which they must fight if LINcoL
# shall be elected.
Dees not the whole conservative Mort
do not even conservative republican
+! who may vote for LlNCoLN--owe some
thing to the Union men of the South VIII
have a contest before them such as liza
> never before been fought in this country
" There are tens ofthousands of Union me

" the Union if Union men of the North wi
but stand by them.-Iree Press.
