DISUNION.

Where does the cry Of Northern aggression
and the consequent threat of disunion come
from2 The Cotton States, and why 2 They
never loose negro. None Of the laws OF the
Northern States intended to retard the execu-
lion of the fugitive slave law have any effect
as regards them, 80 FAR as they are concern
cd those laws are but as dead letters. Tie
Border States, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri are the States that suffer from the
loss Of their slaves and they do not call for a
dissolution of the Union Why then do the
Cotton States? There must be some other
cause.--they must be actuated by some rea-
season. What can that be? We know OF
but one, and that is an unholy ambition for
place and power. Our Republican govern
ment does not correspond with the notions
Of elevation anG dignity, which have taken
possession Of them iu the regal splendor in
which they live. They want government
Of greater display, Dictatorship, and Aris-
tocracy or a Monarchy: How exceedingly
refined would be the sound OF, King 1ancey,
my lord Pryor, &c, and how pleasantly 1t
would fall upon the ears Of the poor and Ia
boring man to 10 called "mud sill, and
how beautiful it would appear in the eyes OF
Southern chivalry, to have the working man
Of rough hand and stalwart arm take of his
hat-placc it under his arm aud bow most
obsequiously to my lord Rhctt. Now il you
want to black the boots of Southern lordngs,
vote for Breckenridge, but if you have the
spirit Of man, tare to atoms the ticket that
bears bis name and vote for Bell and Everett.

IT lisa fact no longer concealed but openly
avowed by the leaders Of the Breckenridge
democracy, that they are determined, if Mr.
Lincoln should be elected president of the L.
ntcd States, to destroy this glorious govern
ment,-thc only one that holds out any pros
poets to the toiliug citizens. in their own
persons. or that Of their children of attaining
to place, prominence and honor, While they
DO this they give us no promise Of better
government, or Of one as good as the present
They may for ought we know erect Mon
archy, or they may establish an Arstocracy
which shall efiectually preclude the poor man
the man who does not own a NEGRO
from all places Of honor or profit, for one of
their journals has already announced that the
poor mans patriotism is not to be trusted
We bcsecch you, then reader if you have any
thoughts Of voting for Breckenridge, before
you 60 to the polls on next Tuesday, get
your wife and children, or if you have none
your sweetheart to sing for you the following
beautiful lines ard we are sure that alter
wnrds you will not vote for Breckenridge the
disunion candidate but for Bell and Everett
the real Union mon:
"AIy country. It's of thee
Sweet land of liberty,
or thee sing:
Land where my Fathers died
Land of the pilgrims pride;
From every mountain side,
Let Freedom ring.
My native country; thee,
Land of tho noble free,
Thy name love:
love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and tempted hills;
Ny heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedoms song:
Let mortal Tongues awake;
Let all that truth partake;
Let rocks their silence break
The sound proloug."
VOTE FOR BELL AND EVERETT.
