ABOUT DISUNfON.
OPINIONS FROM VARIOUS, SOURCES.
[From tho Washington Union Ruchanan's Hand
Organ.)l
The crisis has come A sectional majority
Of the North have pronounced Judgment, and
VIC have already stnted how the men OF the
South will be likely to regard that decision.
To ignore the danger is to resist the cyitlcnrc
Of our scnscs. To misstatc, or rather to si1,-
dcrstatc, The Issue, is to crimtnally mislead
public opinion. 1t is hest that the llfen 81 the
North aud Of the South should look the Facts.
Startling as they may be, squarely III the 1aec
and guide their future conduct with rcE!G;cct
knowledge OF the cs,sc they have to meet VIC
have not attempted to suggest what that con.
duct ought tu lie, nar have We Indicated what
course OF policy the South ought to pursue
with view to rcdressing her wrongs OF cnsuf-
ing her safety. We can only hope fhat TINT
course aud policy will be well considered, cool,
and wise: that the men who Will have to act
will discard passion, anger, and excitement,
and take counsel only from their scnsc Of 3ns-
ticc, their honor; aud tint patriot1sn- WHICH
every frur-heartcd American mu6t feel
We arr not without hope that, although the
political horizon Is now apparently bounded
on all sides by dark and lowering clouds, I'or-
tcutous of coming tempest, bright spot Will
yet appear aud the danger be avcrtcd. But il
that hope, sn dear, go precious to every friend
