liberality:
But how is ii with the fragments
which it is proposed to consolidate into a
Union party? Each one has no conf
dence in its own success and very little
in the triumph of all combined. The
Breckenridge man does not feel like Civ
ing $1,000 to elect Douglas or Bell; nor
does the supporter of Douglas or Bell
exactly fancy the idea of helping to put |
either Of his two opponents in the Pres
idential chair. This natural antipathy |
between the parties, and the utter want
of confidence which prevades all three
of them, will narrow down the Union |

(Virginia) Hafelljgsneer, is a calm, as
well as a bold utterance, and will be
read with interest by all those who dc
not believe in the suicidal madness charg.
ed upon the South by certain politicians
ave believe that the impression i:
very general through the South, as well
as through the North, that the Chicago
nominees will be elected. Although TIL;
result of the contest is more and more
probable every day, do we find excite
, ment and anger increasing at the South
Do we see the inauguration Of any n or,
vigorous measures to secure a dissolution
of the Union? Do we hear any NOR
talk than we did of a violent reSistanct
to Republican administration As tn
peril which is so fearful draws nigh, d
we behold any new symptoms of alarm
Even the Yanceys and the fierce seces
sion orators have lost their fury. The

be. This does not surprise US. Let
!; wise and judicious Republican admins
ton come into power, and we shall 500

threats which are made by disunionist
who fear their constitutional rights wi
be disregarded.
