 bonds. What is the difference? It IS State aid. We do not care how money is obtained, or in what shape, or by what name it may be called, we say it is State aid, and without it the building of the

Bsy It is quite fashionable now.a- days, for certain class of politicians at the South, 10 utter towards those who pro- pose toresist the election of a Black Re- publican President ''even to disruption of every tie that binds us to the Union," the severest invective and bitterest denun- citation. The elegant and courteous terms disunionist and traitor are ap- piled without stint. For the benefit of these gentlemen we desire to resurrect from the tomb of the past a little ex- tract, which we commend to their prayer ful consideration. In 1856, MT. Fill more was a candidate for President, and received the enthusiastic supper, of these Union savers. Sometime during this year he made speech at Albany, N. Y., in which he announced precisely the doc- trine for which Southern Rights men are denounced. In aluding to the probabili- tty of the election of Black Republican President, he boldly avowed that such an event would justify the Southern States in resisting, even to dissolution of the Union. Here is his language:
 G Can they have the madness or the folly to believe that our Southern brethren would sub nit to be governed by such Chief Magis- trate ?v *u4 '. *h
 ssSuppose that the South, having majority of the electoralvotes, should declare that they would only have slaveholder for President and Vice President, and should elect such by their exclusive suffrages to rule over us at the North. Do you think we would submit to it :? No, not for moment. And do you believe that your Southern brethren are less sensitive on this subject than you are !; or less jealous of their rights? If you do, let me tell you that you are mistaken." z"
 s'And therefore, you must see that, if this sectional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to to the destruction of this beautiful fabric reared by our forefathers, cemented by their blood, and bequeathed to us priceless inheri- tance.o fs ,5.. s..,..-
