DISSOLUTION.


Let us look a little AT that Thing OF dissolution:
body would suppose, with Canada farrcmoved, that
when it has become dangerous for me to speak
where there millions OF white men to few
hu nd red thousand slaves, that slave property had
hec me unsafe. Dissolve the Union and move the
line to the north of the Ohio, and would you have
additional security! Does any man suppose; is any
man mad enough 10 suppose that II these people,
once bound together by common br9therhood Of
christianity by the ties of education, cannot remain
in peace in the Union, that they would remain In
peace out OF it2 Does Mr. breckenridge or Governor
Magu1fn suppose such case Ms thall
You have Your a-Bwer when on see Gov. Wise,
who in the last Presidential race, talked OF seiztnE
upon the arsenal and marching 20 Washington TO
take possession of the archives, and proven me
inauguration Of Republican President sGyin IS
Gone In the Union, and no. out of it, when you see
your Democratic orators taking round and beCom'
ing the defenders of the Union. Don't you al be-
gin to see the folly this thine2 Don't all see,
what all men of common sense must sec, that out
side OF the Union there lies less security for Save
property? Certainly youdo! Nobody supposes that
there would be anything other than the way NJ
Caldwell said to-day. Do you suppose you would
| aud the knife to the hit. That is what would be
the result. Where's your security Tor your slave
property then? Would you eight millions OF white
men enter upon a contest with twenty millions and
hold your slaves home It is not to be heard Of.
More safety! No! The fact Is ynu would have to
sacrifice your negroes, like France and Hungary
did their slave property, at once, at the beginning
| are Shareholders What are the non-slaveholders
to gail? Why 1t reminds me. OF history, that q
friend Of mine, ingenious man, used TO tell OF
| y hIte man aud an Indian. They got into fight,
and after while the Indian proving too hard, the
white man took 20 bis heels, and while outrunning
the Indian the latter cried out, "stoP, white man,
stop . aud the white man halocd out, 'stopi will
be damned II do" Why gentlemen, you ask all Of
US non shareholders Of the Union who have borne
all the Oppresslon to sacrhce allthe liberty have
retur9 to those rules and regulations Of dssPot-
ism, against which We rose up In arms in 1916
What do You propose to give us in lieu OF this
great Union as u protection? Why the Charleston
| Mercury aud the Hichmond Enquirer say, Eve Will
send to Louis Napoleon, and We will ask him to lend
| Us some troops defend usl" Oh, shamel shame!
Are you going to bring thts? Is this the rswErd
that you offer US, that Gu will call on Louis SaP0-
leon the despnt Of France, and lis troops, and he
will defend u against these Northern traitors and
fanatics. Are you ready for that, DemoctatkI we
have been led long by Democratic leaders. Is this
the feast 10 which you invited us, that after
you can go longer Ibe preserved, thai you
will get Louis Napoleon, (they can't trust
Victoria she has too many notions Of freedom about
herO to preserve us? Wha. does Il meant II means
going absolutely back into French Digs Afe
