Ills is her doctrine. We win no; fight

tory in the Union If you will allow it, or
outside the Union if they must ) and that
sentiment was received with Democratic
applause. He goes on to say:
The question now is, if we sever the
conn,ctca which binds US and the North
together, how are we 10 preserve the insli-
luton of slavery? There is but one mode
by which, in my humble Judgment, it can
be perpetu,icd for any considerable number

Il hat mode is 10y expansion, and that ex-
pansion must be in the direction of Mex

n large extent of territory that is suited 10
The cultivation of cotton, sugar and rice.
In my opinion we must, and we are COM
PEELED TO, expand in that direction, and thus

come when we shall separate from the

those views, l declare myself ready to-

Union sentiments, whenever or by whom
soever uttered, CRATE harshly on Democrat
ic ears, tuned to the accents Of disunion.
When Mr.. Stokes of Tennessee, the other.
day rebuked the disloyal sentiments which
SO glibly fall from Democratic lips; when
he, in eloquent, manly, and patriotic lam
guage declared his devotion to the Union
when lie quoted and endorsed as his own
the words of Henry Clay, ',hat he would
consent to the dissolution of the Union
never! neverl neverp' the Democracy
foamed and CRASHED its teeth in impotent
wrath.
Governor Letcher of Virginia, in his re-
cent message TO the Legislature of his State,
avows the rankest disunion and revolution
airy sentiments. In this document he de-
clares that if 4 Republican President is
elected in 1860
sit is useless to attempt to conceal the
fact that, in the present temper Of Southern
people, ii cannot Re and toW not be submit
ted TO. The 'irrepressible conflict doctrine,
announced and advocated by the able,t and
most distinguished leader of the Republican
party, is an open declaration of war against
the institution of African slavery wherever
it exists; and | would be disloyal TO Vir-
GINA and the South if | did not declare
that the election of such a man, entertain
Hng such sentiments. and advocating such
doctrines, ought to be resisted By he Stare
aofding Sotcs. The idea of permitting such

unity of the Republic are scattered, in rank
Buxuriance, broadcast over the land. But

snp these noisy menaces Of disunion, which
are falling thick and fast around us, TO show
the Senate and the country that the accept
I'd leaders of the Democratic party are
secessonisis and disunioEists, with the ae-
cents of disunion perpciuaIly on their lips,
and its spirit burning in their hearts
have also gathered up, from the mass of
saes which lie at my feet, enough TO show
