Ii the,.e IL ary nea green enough to believe
,ha. tue Nattoual Union Constitutional move
mept at b fillmore is any thing more than repe',
t;,;on If the Fillmore swiud,e d 1856, for the
peu.ft Of the u,ulat.q~nakiEg Democracy, he>
rurrly ought not to he permitted 10 60 abroad
yhen the COWS are at large, else be might be
mistaken for come other verdant Thing and be
rxa,,owed IN, We take it that We need not
.pcnd moments time in proving that what
We assert Of tho object Of the petty farce is
true. The character Of the actors, their po.
li.icsl nnteccdents.' their known proclieitica
their wouted associations all prove that they
have assumed the gasb and set up the cries OF
Union.msn only that ahe Disunion Democracy
may IL served-tl,at three hundred thousand
OF four hundred thoussnd- tinaid souls who
would not vote outright for the Democracy,
whose principles they hate md despise, may
b. persuaded to 10 that indirectly which the
plotters have not the impudence to ask them
to do openly. It would be au affront to the
intelligence Of the American people to sup-
pose that any considerable and sufficient mum.
ber Of them can be humbugged, bamboozled,
6windled By tho shallow devics which the
wire.pullers have copied from the history Of
the well-remembored Fremont campaign. The
bitter consequences which, in the election Of
Nj. Buchanan, and the renewal in q more
dangerous form than ever before, Of the slavery
agitation, folio Ted the success Of the original
scheme are now upon the country, and he is n
fool who does not see that they are the fruit
Of the very humbug which the Baltimore Con-
vent;on has been striving to blow up anew:
The 1eoompton Co rstituticn. the Dned Scott
decision, the endless eorruptions and criminal
extravaganee Of the party 10. power are the
least Of these. Tho deep excitement which per-
-ades the popular mind, and the danger to
the perperuity Of tie Union, which the rule
Of the tasr and shallow Democracy has provok-
ID and made inaminent, these, the evils
which the Union.savers professed that they
we're about to ward Of, or render impossible
by their fraud Of 1s56,-have been greatly
sxasperated by that train Of events for which
the hypocrites, again bowling about the dan
ger Of popular exctemente, and danger to the
Union, are 1nairly responsible. As in 1856, a
great work for the propagandists Of slavery re-
uains 70 be done Then Kansas was to BE-
dragged irto the sisterhood Of States, under a
pro~s!arary constitution, NOW found to have
been fabricated for her in Washington; and the
Dred Scott decision was 10 be announced.
Happily, the attempt upon Kansas failed: but
the Dred Scott decision became the law Of the
laad- Now i Congressional Slave Code for
the Territories and 1he African Slave Trade are
demanded; and just so surely Is that the Be-.
publican defeat Of 1856, effected by the Fill
more diversion, wss followed hy the events
that wo have named, just so surely will the
auceass Of the came old schemers in 1850, be
the signal for the enactment Of National
Slave Code, aud for the enactment Of the hor-
roEs Of the middle passage. Are the rank file
not tie Booby Brookses, the Jacob Brooms,
the Washington Hunts and the Critten-
cens-o! the National, Constitutional, Union
Saving party, prepared for such consum,na-
ton? We have eeen within the past dozen
ycars Tho Democracy SO skillfully manipulated
that they aow danounce as reasonable and
heretical thut by which they formerly swore
are we now, TO Sec tie men who profess to
he the inheritors Of Henry cIay's principles
und patriotism, transmogr;ded into the chiel
supporters Of that shameless Democracy which,
the Great Ecntuckian hated and feared down
to the day Of Lis death! We do not believe
it. Deceived By their leaders, who in the las1
campaign first betrayed, aud then led then
into the camp Of the enemy, they will nov
recognize the TACT that the only way for tht
restoration Of peace To this distracted country
the only way for insurjng the pezpetuity q
the Cnion, l,y rcbuking those who are threat
ening to dissolve it, lies through Republican
triumph, and the re-inauguration Of the pri1,
ciples in the government which the Father
established, and which only such demagogue
aa Douglas have discovered TO be dangerous
unconstitutional and false. Limitations al
always failures" Let the Union-sayers 9
1850 mind the adagc.
