Why Disunion is Likely to Result
DisastrOusly.

The Springfield, Illinois, correspondent OF
the New York Times gives the following
reasons for the opinion why the public sen
timent of the West scouts the cry of disu-
Mon as unlikely to result disastrously:
l. Mr.. Lincoln is southern map, being
of southern birth, parentage and matrimo-
NAL connection. . -.
2. He is Enthusiastically pledged to con-
servatism.
3. The majority OF the States are al.
ready pledged to support him.
4. The South is divided as to the expe-
dieDcy of disunion. ...s :"
5. The disunionists themselves are d.
vided as to the exact time and pretext for
secession. ..l -.-s.
6. The disuniOn leaders are not likely
to risk their necks by the first act of trea-
son.
2. If secession takes place under Mr..
Buchanan's term, the responsibility of
meeting it will rest with the Democracy !;
if it is postponed until Mr.. Lincoln's inau-
guration, it will be too late, as the disu-
nionists will be squelched in their own 10.
calities. '.....
8. The probability Of the appointment
of Southern men in the cabinet has al.
ready disarmed some of the disunionists.
9. The possibility of Bell Congressman
acting with the Republicans has already
nationalized the Republican party.
10. The absence Of the control of Con-
gress by the Republicans the apparent
Judgment Of legislative power in the hands
of their opponents, and the probable ina
bility of the new Republican President to
act without the consent of the opposition,
has given the opponents of Mr.. Lincoln
considerable satisfaction.
These last two reasons are probably the
most cogent. The greed of Office, and our
national reverence for the almighty dollar,
alike seem to interpose insurmountable bar
riers to disunion. @
+ Yet the sentiment here is, that while be-
lieving that disunion is not imminent, Mr..
Lincoln is not unprepared to meet it, and
is pledged to meet it constitutionally, and
to punish the traitors as Arnold, Burr and
John Brown deserved.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-11-30

During the late struggle, the steady and
enthusiastic support rendered by the adopt
ed citizens to STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS was a
sufficient pledge of their determination to
stand by the integrity of the Union. None
are more interested in preserving that Union
intact than citizens of foreign birth. Our
Republic would cease to be refuge for the
oppressed of all nations if broken in twain,
and under no circumstances would their
condition be tolerable in Southern slave
Confederacy. The newspapers rejecting the
sentiments of the Germans and Irish in this
country have spoken out in favor of the
preservation of the Union, and against the
plans of the secessionists. One of the most
cheering expressions is the following, which
we copy from the last number of the New
York Irish american, thousands of which
paper are circulated:
Under such circumstances of peril, it be-
booves every good citizen to stand firmly by
the Union, which is the guarantee and
mainstav of the Constitution. Secession
can only be accomplished through viola
ton of the Federal compact, a direct breach
Of faith with those who hold by it. Let
any rational Southern man reflect for
moment that by secession he divides not
only the bond between himself and his ag-
gressors be sewers also the links that bind
him to the millions of true hearts in the
North, who in the very camp of the enemy,
despite of prescription and persecution. have
ever battled manfully 10 defence of bis con-
stitutional rights and who, but for the
dissensions created and fomented by those
very agitat0rs who seek to push the matter
to extremity, are still powerful enough,
united with their Southern brethren, to roll
back the tide Of fanaticism at its highest
flow. Is it fair, we ask, to involve the Ma
tionalists of the North in the sweeping con.
demnation of their sectional opponents, who
do not really form anything like a moiety Of
the population? Mr.. Yancey and his
apostles of anarchy say yes but we believe
they do not speak the sentiment of the chiv-
alrous people of the South. Federal officers
like Judge McGrath, and even legislators,
like Senators Toombs and Chestnut, may
testify their assent to this new dogma by
resigning their positions but it does not
rest with these. however numerous or re-
spectacle they may be, 5uncts of glory and
prosperity Of the people at large; they
alone can alter its characters, or ALLEVIATE
any portion of its fair expanse. 1t is
heritage purchased by the blood of brave
hearts, cherished by the care and wisdom
of patriot minds, guarded and expanded by
the love and labor of freemen. We never
will believe that those who have grown in
peace and prosperity beneath the influence
of its fostering institutions, would tear one
star from its bright galaxy at the bidding
of reckless factionists, who would fain rise
above the level to which nature assigned
them by treading on the ruins of ther coun-
try's greatness.

they are enslaved under form of appren-
ticeship and sent off to the British sugar
colonies, to labor on the plantations.
We make the following translation from
the work OF the author above referred to:
England looks to the destruction of the pro.
ducts of Brazil, Martinique, Guadalupe, Cuba,
and of the south and southwestern of the United
States. in order to enjoy alone the markets of
Europe for her own colonies which yield the
same productions. But the United States and
Cuba present obstacles to her ambition in this
respect, which excite in England the most bit
ter complaints, and agitate both hemispheres."
Although the motive OF England in its
hostility to negro slavery, as disclosed by
the author quoted, is we'll understood by
intelligent foreigners, our own people seem
to disregard, altogether, the lesson it ought
to teach them.
