happy, no matter how costly and destructive
the demonstration Of the fact may prove.
The word glorious" is undoub ,ediy glo-
rious word, and hence 1t is always applied with
great propriety to the union between the North
and the South, and whenever 1t is so used in a
public. meeting. it is received with the most
Enthusiastic cheers. The word il exceedingly
expressive Of the mutual affections of the peo-
pie Of the two sections who love each other
with devotion SO intense, that the friendship
Of DAVID and JONATHAN seems the most frigid
and formal poiiteness. No opprobious epithet
II ever applied In the Northern States to the
citizen Of the South. whilst in the South the
phrase Yankee 10 always a compliment, and
never prefaced with q profane expletive.-
The property Of the South is entirely safe I'M
der the protection of the General Government,
the Northern States vie with each other in a
noble rivalry to perform their constitutional
duties, and have no sympathy whatever with
the distarbers Of peace and order in Southern
communities! When the representatives OF
the two sec tons meet in Congress, they en-
brace each other with the most ardent afiec-
ton, organize Immediately, and go TO work in
the most fraiernal spirit, every man animated
by hearty desire for the common good We
never hear Of their giving the lie TO one an
other, and, OF course, they never carry arms.
or II they do 1t is to protect themselves againsl
robbers in the district, like the pious Mr. HAS
KIN who lately let a pistol drop from his
pocket on the floor of the House. The manner
in which the members gathered around him at
the time Of the accident, and congratulated him
upon his fortunate escape, was a beautiful IL
lustration Of the deep interest they all feel in
each others personal welfare, and shows that
in the councils Of our Republic rs well as in
the church, when one member suffers, all the
members suffer with him. What GLORIOUS
unionn it is of q couple who love each other SO
devotedly and who each say of the Union
As Mrs. MICAUBER did of her husband, that
"nothing, nothing should ever tempt her to
forsake it," Even in the cold and cherries
cline of Wisconsin, which has by act Of legls-
lature deliberately nuliifed the Constitution
the fire Of patriotism burns with so intense a
heat, that the Governor thereof in i late an
nual message, In which he denounces slavery
in every shape and form, declares that any
man who talks of leaving the Union ought to
be punished with the halter. What Southern
heart bat must glow with patriotic rapture,
and what Southern voice but must shout new
hallelujah's 10 the " glorious Union,'' when he
sees how dear he and his native land are to
Wisconsin, and that in spfte Of all the sins and
denominations of the peculiar institution, - the
North still hugs US to her generous heart, and,
instead Of kicking us overheard as we deserve,
swears that the man who talks Of separating
those whom God hath joined together, shall
be hung as high as HAMAS.
That The two sections were made for each
other, has been proved a thousand times, and it
is this which makes the Union more and more
glorions every year it exists. The South grows
cotton, and the North manufac lures it; the
South raises tobacco, and the North chews il :
the South has naval stores, and the North
builds ships in which they can be used the
South has the staples of commerce. and the
North carries them. 1t is clear that they were
made for each other; at all events, that the
South was made for the North. That propo.
sition at any rate it would be hard to disprove
DO not the shoemakers, bookmakers, shipbuild-
ers, merchants and mechanics Of all New Eng
land agree with us in that proposition! Mr.
DEXTER, Of Massachusetts, said long ago that
1t would be as absurd for North and South TO
dispute on account Of their different forms OF
industry, az for the two sexes to be at logger
heads on account of the dissimilarity of their
organization. The very institutions of the
South which are raising such an uproar a this
time, # in SO completely to the propensities
and habits of their New England brethren,
that 1t is impossible to doubt that the two
sections were made Tor each other. Thus.
negroes were made to be kidnapped ever since
they were negroes and JONATHAN has been a
kidnapper ever since he was JONATHAN On
one side of mason aud DIXON are the negroes
to be stolen, and on the other are a race who
delight in stealing them. "Whom God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder.''
After all, however, when we become "en-
Unused" over our glorious Union, one Of the
principal ingredients Of the enthusiasm is, the
glorious size Of The country, spreading itself
fron'the Atlantic to the Pacific, making thirty
three States, aud any mum Der of unborn Com
monwealths, whose vehement movements in
the Territorial embryo are equal to those of
EsAU aud JACOB, and peariy bring their old
mother to her death whenever she is delivered
Of one Of them. The idea of magnitude is
always glorious to the human mind. The
citizen Of big town always feels the respon.
sibility ana grandeur of his locality, and never
fails TO manifest it when he comes in con tao
with the less favored representatives Of the
rural districts. He is always certain that
city life 10 superior in every respect to every
other kind Of life The patriotism Of such
men - WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, and the
Statesmen of that era was no doubt as intense
and ~ pure a. IL the Colonies had been popu.
lOus and powerful, instead Of sparsely settled
and weak, but they made up in those days
