E8sJ r OUR UNION AND FLAG. ,oo.g,,.,
The saddest things in the Union meetings
of last syear was the constant presence, in al.
of them, of the clink of coip-the whistle of
spindles--the dnst of trade. You would have
imagined it was an insurrection of peddlers
against honest men. ILarghter.1 MT. EF-
erett at Fanueil Hall, when he sought for the
value of the Uuon, could only bewail the'loss
of our Commercial intercourse the certainty
of "hostile tariffs y and danger to the "Nayy.P
And this is literally all the merits Of the
Union. that he catalogues! No; I do him in
justice. He does ask, in trepidatiou, in case

Mr. O'Connor, too, who gave the key note
to the New York meeting. The only afgd-
ment he has for the UnionJi is his assurance
that if we dissolve therelI be no moro "nar.
BILE stone fronts" on Broadway, and No brown
stone palaces in the Fifth Avenue! Believe
me, this is literally all he has nanied, except
one which Mr.. Everett must have been under
anodyne to haye forgotten, but which, per-
haps, it is better on the whole for Mr.. OCon-
nor, being an Irishnan, to reeoleet-it is this:
In case Of dissolving, We shall no longer own
the grave of Washington, which, Mr.. Everett
having paid for, the New York peddling ora
tor thinks it hard to losel Aad SO it strikes
me! 'f.-- 90 Ao5 - 4Tsa9 SEN q aEe sGG3
