HISCNIONISM.

The papers from all section, arc filled
TO replction with the proclamations of
Southern Governors, the speeches OF
Southern Senators and other orators,
and the proceedings of Southern Legis-
laturcs and Conventions, on the subject
of disunion. We have not attempted to
copy these proceedings. \ dozen Tc1e-
grophS would not suffice for that pur-
pose. To the doubters in the capacity
of man for self government, these pro-
ceedinss conc IS demonstrations of the
truth Of their theory.
1t has been the boast OF every Demo
cratic orator and editor, that the party
has had the control of the Government
nearly all the time since its organiza-
ton, and every reader will remember
that this fact has ever been appealed to
10 hold their followers in the bonds of
the party We admit the fact, that the
Democratic party have long been in
powcr-su long, in fact, that an unutter-
able corruption has grown up in the ad
ministration of affairs-a corruption SO
notorious aud profiigate, that the better
class of the Democrats, together with
the patriotic citizens generally were
forced to the conclusion that without a
change of rulers this increasing corrup-
tien of the leaders would wholly demon
alizc, and finally destroy our glorious
institutions.
I'm the firm conviction of this truth,
hundreds and thousands of the honest
intelligent and patriotic members of the
Democratic party Joined with the Re-
publicans, and in the late election ele-
waited to the Chief Majestracy of the Ma
tionsA braham Lincoln, man admitted to
beeapablc, honest, patriotic, ,and ineorrup-
tibfe. This expression of confidence in
Lincoln, and the principles he represents:
and of condemnation of the corruptionists
who have SO long disgraced the country,
and perverted its institutions to their
own base and selfish purposes, isso clear
and overwhelming that it leaves the
Dclnagogucs. no hope of regaining their
bst power. Every artiicc of fraud and
faetion-every means by which prcju-
dice could be aroused by misrepresenta-
ton. was resorted to in vain. The peo-
ple.even spurrled the threats which were
used to iutinidate them. and by unpre-
ecdenfcd maioritics- gave expression to
their will in the election of the Repub-
lican candidates. - ....-.
