This measure of Mr. MILES would have the
effect Of testing at the ballot box the union sym.
pathy at the North. which has been manifested
by resolutions cninu,ing from union meetings
held in several Of the large cities Of that sec-
tion. For our own part we have never seen
anything in these cOnvorations Of Union-savers
which has indicated returning sense Of Justice
or any change Of the beni.htcI policy Of tha,

Of the earlier days Of the Republic. Union

faction OF the North is not i'll favor of it. They
all with one accord sing the praises of the

whose principles and avowed policy are so inim
ical to the Southern mode of thinkng is out and
ont in fnv"r Of the Union. Not u man Of them
would have a dissolution. They want the Un-

and not upon the terms Of the Constitution as

would rrpudinte the idea that theirs Is q party
seek ing TO override the Constitution. Yes, they
stand up before the country aud proclaim ,ha,
their policy is the embodiment of the principles
OF The Constitution, and that the South has no
right to complain of it. 1t is therefore vain and
fruitless 10 regard such manifestations as evin-
