The New York Herald Giving up Inc
Cnion-Something Practical for the
Masses TO Consider.

Masses TO Consider.
Within the last few weeks, we have given
incontestibIe evidence of a deliberate pur-
pose, formed two years ago and shaped into
a well defined organization, and cherished
by certain ultra democratic leaders In the
Soutb. TO dissolve the Union and revolution
ize the government of the United States.
Every day brings forth additional proof OF
the entire truth of the allegation On the
9th We printed extracts from late letter oil
Mr.. KEITr, a member of Congress from South
Carolina, characterized by lofty tone Oh
defiance, and deliberately declaring his con-
vietions of the duty of the South All the
,,o,a,ions we have heretofore made were
from supporters of Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE at the
South. which clearly demonstrated what those
leaders expected from his candidacy
conviction of the truth of these charges has,
At length, found Judgment in the minds OF
son,e men at the North; and this morning
we publish the response OF the y. L. HsTafd'
which is earnestly at work for Mr.. BREchiN-
RIDGE also, and which, according to tue mon
and American, ''has perhaps greater innu-
ence than any other one paper in the Union
with the hundreds and thousands Of cOnserv-
alive men in the Northern and Middle States
engaged in mercantile and manufacturing
pursuits" To this response we invite the
attention of rejecting men OF all parties Ii
mu.t h. remembered that the Herald has re-
pes.edly, of late, expressed the belief, tn t
I iS n
elusion; and even in the article under consId-
Grafton, admits that Mr.. LINCcLN seems NOR
alIy certain to obtain a majority of votes IN
the electoral CD ge." With this admission,
the Herald proceeds TO comment upon the
letter of Mr.. KEITT, which it publishes in the
same impression, and that of Mr.. IANcEr to
Mr.. SLAUGHTER, which it mis-dates and
then makes up its mind to see the Union slide.
Whatever we may think of the political man
sgement of the Herald, whether we regard
this as merely and designedly - sensation

alarm and to put in motion certain lntiu-
-nces in theNorthernStates to produce certain
effects in favor of BBECkiNRIDGE whether 1t
be considered "a a strategic movement oil
partiszn or the sober fear of an earnest pat
riot. there is no doubt but that it possesses a
substantial foundation, that it rests upon a
substratum of truth, which should cause all
men of all parties and sections to pause and
reflect, 1t foreshadows some OF the immedi-
ate consequences that are to be anticipated
from a continued forcing of sectional Issues
of BRECKENRIDGE marks the great outline OF
the result with terrible and fearful clearness.
It SAYS the Southern Senators and Represen-
.atiyes in Congress, instead OF going TO
Warrington, as they have done throughout
a long period of national union and national
prosperity-wll go to Richmond and if the
people of the Union, acticg in the usual mode
at the baIlot-box under the high sanctions of
the Cons tuition. declare against Mr.. BRECK-
1NRIDGE, they will then and there open Con-
gress in due form and proclaim Mr.. BREckIx-
RIDGE President of the United Southern Re
public The Herald perhaps wisely, refrains
from presenting picture of the scenes that
would follow such action but with an eye
glazing upon the disaster that must follow,
warns the people to prepare for the coming
crisis-that something may be saved from
the wreck" which is to ensue 1t advises
Northern merchants who have dealings with
Southern traders TO close up their affairs as
soon a. possible-holders of Southern State,
railway or city stocks, or securities of the
general government TO realize upon them at
once-and bankers at home and abroad to
put themselves In condition TO meet the in
evitsble panic in financial affairs.
The Herald says that the League of United
Southerners" has not been idle since the 10th
of June. Already the cotton States are pre-
pared for revolution. The crisis is immin-
emit. THE DISSOLUTION OF TIE IN
ION rs A FACT ALREADY DETERMIN
ED UPON. eTHB PIECE Is LOADED.
THE TORCH Is LIGHTED. THE CAN
EONEER STANDS BY HIS GUN WAIT
ING FOR THE FATAL SIGNAL. The
BREcxNRIpGE movement, so far as it can see,
will avail nothing. LINCOLN will be the
Northern President and BRECKENRIDGE the

We invoke attention to these outgivings of
q Northern BRECKENRIDGE organ in response
to the outgivings of bis Southern organs.
Nothing short of absolute peril would justify
them. They should arouse the friends of the
Constitution and the Union TO new and grea-
ter exsrtions to beat down the fanatics and
