DISSOLUTION.

and would you have additional security
Does any man suPpose-is any man mad enough
to suppOse-that if these people, once bound
together by common brotherhood Of suffering,
ny association in churches, by common chris
tianity, by the ties Of education, cannot remain
in peace in the Union, that they wouli remain
in peace out Of it! Does Mr.. Breckinridge or
Gov. MagOfin suppose such case as thaH
You have your answer when you see Gov
Wise, who in the last Presidential race,
talked of seizing upon the arsenal and
marching to Washington to take posses
sion of the archives, and preventing the
inauguration of q Republican President, saying,
now if thors is any fighting to be done it is to be
done In the Union, and not out oft; when you
see your Democratic orators talking round and
becoming the defenders of the Union. Don't
you all begin to see the folly Of this thiugl-
Don't you all sec, what all men of common
sense must see, that outside of the Union there
lies less security for slave property? Certainly
you do! No body supposes that there would be

to>day. Do you suppose you would have
peacei No, sir, it would be war to the knife
and the knife TO the hilt That is what would
be the result Whers is your security for your
slave property theni Would your eight millions
of white men enter upoa contest with twenty
millions and hold your slaves at home! It is
not to be heard Of. More safety! No! The fact
is you would have to sacrifice your negroes,
like France and Hungary did their slave props
erty, ct once, at the beginning of the war. Then
what would you gain so far as you are slave
holders? What are the non slaveholders to gainl
Why it reminds me of history, that friend of
mine, an ingenious man, used to tell of white
man and an Indian, They got into fight, and
after while the Indian proving too hard, the
white man took to his heels, and while outrun.
ming the Iudian the latter cried out "stop, white
man, stop" and the white man halIoaed out.
"stOp will be damned if do" Why, gem
tlemen, you ask all Of US non slaveholders of
the Union who have borne all the oppression,
to sacrifice all the liberty we have, to return to
those rules and regulations of despotism against
which we rose up in arms in l776. t
! What do you propose to give us in lieu of
this great Union as protection! Why, the
Charleston Mercury and the Richmond Enqui-
rer say, "We will send to Louis Napoleon, and
we will ask him to lend US some troops to de-
fend u.s." Oh, shame! shamel Are you going
to bring US to this! Is this the reward that
you offer US, that you will call on Louis Napo-
leon, the despot of France, and his troops, and
he viii protect Us against these Northern trai-
