Who are the Disunionists ?

Enron DEMooRAr:-DearSi Sir: have just
received from some kind friend, a document
entitled e Who are the DiswaioHists, contain
ing one hundred and one garbled extracts
from speeches Of leading men in the Union
who are now acting with Messrs. Douglas
and Bell in maintaining the Constitution and
the peace Of the country. All of the speech
es from which the extracts are taken were in
defense of the IConstitution against the as
saults Of the sectionalists, and do not contain
one word of disloyalty but, on the contrary.
all fervently urge the necessity of perfect
equality and strict adherence to the Constitu
tion, "the supreme law of us all"
This pamphlet is intended to deceive the
people. 1t is weak attempt by a sectional
faction to shield themselves from gross impu-
tation, by charging their own sin on those
who are every day exposing and dragging
them to light. The contest in this Presiden-
tial campaign should be between the Democ-
racy of the country and the Republicans Of
the North. In this shape, no one doubts that
seouonalism would receive a signal defeat
But this "taction,' at the head of which
stand Messrs. Breckenridge and Lane, prefer
this end, have bolted the Democratic organ
ization, refused to support the regular nomi-
nees of the party, and divided its strength
by placing in nomination opposition candi-
dates. This is not done out of love to the
Republican candidate; but, in the hope Of
obtaining what would be regarded, by the
Southern population, a sufficient cause to
justify an attempt to secede from the Union
And particularly did they hope that most Of
the gentlemen so kindly noticed in the "pam
phlet" would regard the circumstance of the
election of Mr. Lincoln as a Northern Sec
tional attack on Southern Institutions, and
Join with them in their REASONABLE designs
But in this they are disappointed. They
arc told that, if Mr.. Lincoln is elected, it is
done by their own improper action, in throw
ing away their votes for Mr. Breckinridge,
while million and half of Northern Dem
ocrats are exerting themselves to the utmost
for the Constitution and the Union The
Democracy of the North, however, arc only
co-workers with the parties named in the
pamphlet viz; Douglas, Walker Johnson,
Pierre Soule, Taylor, Hillard, Clemens, Cox,
Morton, Campbell and host of other patri-
OTIS Of the South and West, in crushing out
sectional conflicts, disunion and treason, from
whatever quarter they may arise. The
speeches of these gentlemen were to this
end alone, and directed at the efforts of &
sectional party whose principles, though very
Objectionable, are not half as dangerous tc
the country as the efforts of the faction who
are endeayoring to use these garbed extracts
to promote their own nelarous purposes.

es we find the boilers and the friends of the
"irrepressibe conflict" coming together and
acting in concert The first practical illus
tration Of this harmonious feeling was manifes'
ted at Big Oak Flat on Thursday evening
last. The two factions have found out, by
comparing notes, that the same arguments
and sophistry used by one would answer for
both, as each has to fight the regular Democ-
raey. So, by a feiieitous coincidence, the
Breekinridge and Lincoln men met together
on the evening referred to, to abuse the De-
moeracy. The ball was opened by the
youthful prodigy, Fitch, who led off in his
old TRADE against Judge Douglas. Ther
Counsellor Barber succeeded, with his usual
lucid comments on the Dred Scott decision
and the Two thirds rule. Zack Montgomery
followed, and hurled his feeble anathemas at
Douglas. Then the youthful Fitch followed,
to tear open afresh the wounds this terrible
heavy ordnance had made in the bosom of
the Democracy. The meeting was most har-
lnonious, and heneeforth we expect to see
these delectable twins of sectionalism' go
hand in hand in their labor of love. One
speech answers equally well for both. Last
