with nswness Of life. Every year Of i,s dura-
hon has ieeUed with fresh proofs Of it, utility
and il. blessings; and although our territory
has stretched out wider and wider and our
population spread farther and farther, they have
not ouirun its protection. or its benefits. IL ha.
been TO all copious fountain Of national.
social and personal happiness.
have not allowed my self cir. to look beyond
the Union to see what might lie hidden in the
dark recess behind. have ut coolly weighed
the chances Of preserving liberty. when the
bonds that unite us shsltub be Lroken asundcr-

thoughts should be mainly bent ON considering
not how the Unicn should best be preserved,
but how tolerablc might be the condition of the
people when it shall be broken up and de.trov.

While the Union lasts, we have high. exciting.
gratifying prospects spread out before US, for
US and our children. Beyond that seek not
TO penetrate the veil. God grant that. in INV

grant, that ON my vision may never be opened
what lies behind. When my eyer shall lie turn

In the country This county has done il. duty
most nobly--eVery precinct save one having
given majority To the Conservative Union
Candidates.
The baltimore Sun, Of Yesterday, we believe

mass Of the people Of thi. State. saying tia,
"the returns prove the conservative spirit of
the people" and that tho term Union Men,
docs not mean Black Republicans and subu;,-
sioni.ts, but that it signifies men who know and
will maintain their rights under the Aag Of III.
Union, If they can, TO the last extremity of en-
durance.-

OF secession there il no desire for il; the feel.
