The True Mettle.

Below We copy the peroration Of
Hon. j. r. Doolittlc's late speech in
the U. S. Senate. The disunionists
are beginning to learn that hanging
for treason is not business Of which
they are to have the sole monopoly.
As Shakespeare says: "The lesson
thou teachest US VIC will improve up
on" and we will show to the hotspurs
that we have blows to give as well as
blows to take. Mr.. Doolittlc says:
In answer to this oft repeated threat,
that If the Republicans shall elect
the President the Government will
be broken up, l have never heard but
one reply given by the Republicans OF
the Northern States, and that is this
Notwithstanding some declarations
we see in the press Of the South, not
withstanding we may gee a resolu-
ton introduced into Legislature in
some one or more Of the Southern
States, we do not believe there exists
any such insanity or dclusion among
the men of the South that they would
attempt to break up this government
because Republican should be elect
ed President of the United States {;
but, sir, if there should be such men
at the South, who, like this man Brown
from the North, are deluded with the
idea that they can break up this gov
crnment and establish new confedera.
cies or provisional governments for
the United States, as the Republican
party of this country stands pledged
to maintain the Union, and to defend
it against all it's enemies, II will be
bound, therefore, if it come into power,
whether an attempt shall be made by
men coming from Canada or by men
coming from any Southern State to
break up this government, to arrest
them for treason, try them for treason,
and, if the jury do not acquit them
OH the ground Of insanity, to hang
them for treason, as sure as there is
God in heaven. And, Mr.. President,
l know no other way in which that
party could discharge its duties and
high responsibilities to the Constitu-
ton Of the country and the laws of
the land.

The Republican Call.

The National Committee of the Re.
publican party have issued call for
the Presidential Convention. 1t is
written in a liberal but firm tone, be-
coming the great party from which it
cmanatcs am, the noble cause it sup.
ports. Addressing not only the Re-
publicaus, but the Peoples party Of
Pennsylvania, the Opposition party Of
New jersey, and all opposed to the
corruptons of the Administration and
the extension of slavery, it presents
the leading issues Of onr politics in
few words. The rights of the States,
the equality of all citizens, the mcccs.
sity for rigid economy, and the suprc-
macy of the Constitution are tho prin.
ciplcs Of the Republicans as here set
forth.
One prominent fact brought out by
our recent political history, which is
the conversion of the Democratic par.
ty into IN avowcd disunion party, is
Distinctly noticed in the call 1t asks
all patriotic citizens to mark with
their hostility and contempt the dan
gerous policy which this desperate
party has inauguratcd-a policy
which seeks to change our govern
inert of laws and the ballot-box into
a government of factions impulses
and bayonets. For seventy years we
have thriven to degree unexampled
in the history of free nations, because
we have so resolutely adhered to the
peaceful determination of the ballot.
But it is now proposed by the leaders
of the Democratic faction to supersede
this safe and salutary practice by the
violent methods of the South Ameri-
can Republic. All right.thinking,
peace-loving, really Democratic mem.
bers of society will rally to the stand
ard Of the Republicans in order to re.
bukc the anarchical scheme.

" Old Sands"

Our readers are familiar with the
advertisement of the retired physi-
clan, whose sands are almos. run ont, !"
and who has nostrum which he
wants to sell for the benefit of mar
kind. They will forgive us if we
thought of this parsonage when we
read in the Presidents message of
the old public fnnctionsry, whose
service commenced in the last genera
ton, and whose dearest wish is to
leave his country tranquil, united and
prosperous" But what is the nostrnu,
Of this old and jealous friend of his
country? He repeats, with great
carncstncss, his old recommendation,
that he be empowered to send an army
into Mexico to hold the country by
military occupation, until we obtain
indemnity for the past and security
Tor the future" that is to say, to con-
qner the country, and keep it in sub.
Jcction as long rs we please. The
force which Mr.. Buchanan would en-.
ploy for this purpose is a volunteer
force, the filibustcrs, who, having once
been taken into Mexico, would never
come out of it. Another recommends
ton is that we establish military posts
on the soil Of Mexico, to protect our
new territory of Arizona, which it
seems was bad bargain, and is much
infested by the Indians. Another is
that Congress will authorize Mr.. Blu
chanan to employ the land and naval
forces at his discretion to make war
upon the republics lying south of us.
A fourth is a hint that more money!
may be wanted, and that it is well to
increase the indirect taxes. In short
Mr.. Buchanan wants, as he did last
year, two things in the first place
power, and in the second place money.
Give him these, and the "old public
functionary, the desire of whose heart
is to leave his country tranquil. uni
ted and prosperous" will be satisfied.
We doubt, however, whether Congress
is quite ready to take the risk of at
tempting to ensure the tranquility Of
the country by measures so manifest
ly unsuited to that end.
