attachment to the Union. on certain condi-
tons; but went on to say, in very excited
manner, that for Union. under the govera-
ment of which there could be midnig ht forays
made upon Southern cOmmunities-under
which houses could be burned by abolition
incendiaries springs be poisoned, and
women and children murdered by insurrec-
tionary assassins-that such Union might
go to the bad place, for him. 50 TO Hell with
such Union !''--was his emphatic language
We would charitably believe that Mr.
Haynes was not fully conscious of the entire
purpOrt of his language, and that his posi-
ton is not sach as its lair construction, taken
in connection with the John Brown raid and
recent events transpired in Texas, would
warrant. AssuFealy all. or nearly albof the
conditions upon which Mr.. Haynes doomed
the Union to perdition, have existed. and
may again exist. Some other crazed fanatic,
like John Brown, may run his neck into a
Southern halter as John Brown did, and, like
John Blown, get it so promptly and vigOr-
ously stretched that life will become extinct
and the world go on all the better that it
is minus such distdrbeTs of the public peace.
as in the case of the Harper's Ferry Invasion
Other abolition emiSSaries may prOwl into
Southern communities and attempt to incite
the poor slave to poison and burn, as they
have recently done in Texas and, as in
Texas, be denounced by the negroes. caught,
banished the Statef or hung-and the safety
of our peculiar institution be but the more
clearly demonstrated TO the fools and trait
0rs who would tamper with at such peril TO
their worthless lives.
All this, we say, may again occur in the
Union, as it has heretofore occurred, ard the
Union be still worth preserving, on account
of the Incalculable advantages it brings in
the free and untrammeled trade between the
States; in the unquestIoning acquiescence by
their inhabitants in the execution of the law
upon these wrong doors, and for many other
considerations so palpable as to need no
enumeration. At any rae. we do not so clear
ly perceive how sending the Union ITO hell''
would mend the matter We are at loss to
comprehend why such scOundrels as John
Brown and the Texas abolitionists should re-
spect the boundary line of a State out OF the
Union and more than they have respected
the boundary lines of the States an the
Union. We are utterly unable TO conceive
how sending the Uftoa to Tophet should
work out any such regeneration.
We are just as little unable to understand
by what process the States, either separately
as Independent little soverignties, or ''eahoot-
ed together in ole or more Southern Con-
federacies," will acquire any greater facilities
of prevention or protection. If the plan is
to take half the populatioI and station them
along as patrols all round The boundary line
to catch the Williams that mag come lurking
around, while the other half is employed in
making food and clothing for this monster
police, we do not see why it may not be put
in operation as well before sending the Union
down below. after it. We have an idea
that it would be polite to try the experiment,
and see how it would work, before we make
a present to Beelzebub of that inheritance of
our Revolutionary Fathers-that grandest
achievement of human wisdom in Govern
ment-that last, best Hope of manllind-the
AMERICAN UNION.
y We trust sincerely, that Col. Peyton and
Mai. Polk will get Mr.. Haynes. in the further
progress of the canvass, to ease our mind in
regard to these difficulties in parting with it,
or else persuade him to recall the fierce doom
pronounced against it. OTTO Hell with such
a Union. ''-lNezn. Bulletin.
