The First Disunionist.

Onthe 1st of February, 1850, Senator
Hale of New Hampshire, presented two
petitions from Isaac Jeffries and other cit
izcns of Pennsylvania, and John F..
Woodward and others, praying that
"some plan might be devised for tie dis
solution qf Tie 41merican Union.'. Mr..
Webster. Of Massachusetts, was unspar-
ing in his denunciation of the petitions,
and suggested that there should have
been preamble to them in these words
"Gentlemcn, members of Congress:
Whereas, at the commencement of the
session, you and each of you, took your
solemn oaths, in the presence of God,
and on the Holy Evangelists, that you
would support the Constitution of the
United States-now, therefore, we pray
you to take immediate steps to break up
the Union and overthrow the Constitution
as soon as you can"
Yet this petition received three votes,
John p. Hale, of New Hampshire, Will
liam VI. Seward, of New York, Salmon
p. Chase, of Ohio. The two last are in

The Way CharlcstOniaMs Treat
Their Yankee BrOthCrS

The steamer Massachusetts,, Captain
Sampson from Charleston, S. c., 18th
inst. arrived here this foaenoon, with
2,O33, bales of cotton, forty-six tierces
rice and thirty packages merchandise and
seven passengers. Among the passen-
gers were three gentlemen of leisure, who
went from here in her for the express
purpose of "secing with their own eyes
and hearing with their own ears" the
great commotion of the fire eaters. They
state that when they went to hotel they
booked their names "of Boston," and
upon every occasion when they were in
troduced to distinguished citizens, they
invariably spoke of themselves as Boston
ians, yet their reception was all that they
could have desired. They were not dog
ged, as they had reason to apprehend from
the tenor of the news received here, nor
did any one ask them impertinent ques-
tions. There was plenty of soldering,
marching and counter marching, but they
saw no rowdyism. Politicians spoke
freely to them about the affairs of the
country, but expressed no regret about
secession; on the contrary, the people
seemed determined to have nothing more
to do with the United States Bosto,
Traveller, March 81.

Oricdc and the Dollar JcwcIry
TrnhC.

OF course there is no need of telling
the thinking people that there is some
other basis for these gift book jewolry
sales and dollar jewelry stores, than 'thc
panic" the buying of large editions Of
cheap books. The real basis of the whole
is the Connecticut discovery of ccm-
pound metal denominated oriede, and de-
fined by the Scientific American to bo
"simply very beautiful brass without
single grain of gold in its composition"
1t is the most positive imitation of gold
ever discovered; it wears like it--not dis
coloring anything it touches, as common
brass or copper will; it may be engraved
or ehased--being the same all through;
it is much softer, and more readily fused
than gold, however, and its value may be
imagined when we say that dozen fine
ly chased table spoons Of this metal can
be bought for $3.50, with profit to the
retailer, even at that price, of thirty per
cent. The principal manufactory of this
oriede is at Waterville, Conn. The most
expensive part of the process is the man
ufacture of the moulds and forms, by the
use Of which the ornaments are cast and
cut. This expense is greatly reduced by
buying at second hand the instruments
with which real jewery has been manu-
facturod--in this way the patterns Of the
most eminent iewelry houses are obtained.
1t is estimated that the most expensive
looking piece of this iewelry does not cost
for the metal, mould, putting together
M, al IL yI,a., nh &c hn
component parts are--pure copper, 100
parts, zinc, Cor tin) II parts; magnesia,
6 parts; sal ammoniac, 36 parts; quick
lime, Is; and tartar of commerce Q parts.
Such, at least, is a published recipe for
making oriede. The substance produced
not only looks like gold but is very SINH
lar in 1ineness of grain and density, it is
rolled, and even beaten into leaves, ard
is susceptible of all manipulations to
which gold is subjected by artisans il. that
ore. The dewly discovered oriede, which
at present is used extensively in jewelry,
! pen and pencil cases and watch cases, can
! be produced with such comparative
chcapness that there is no reason why it
hhoulu hOt COinc into ScHeIui une lOr hr-
ticles of utility as well as ornament
For carriage and harness Trimmings,
sword hilts and scabbards, and even gas
| fixtures and number of articles now
made of plated metals, the oriede will
doubtless, ere long, be used-particular-
y as it costs but little more than bronze,
and has this advantage over electro plate
goods, that j. will wear and retain its re-
semblance to gold as long as it may be
in use. . ...I -

sin More starting News.

Not only Spain is taking advantage of
our Black Republican troubles, roassert-
ing her power over Domingo and Hayti,
and sending a fleet into the Gulf to mem
ace her ancient Mexican dominions, but
France and England have dispatched
fleets with sealed orders into our Ameri-
can waters. The people of France and
England are so immensely interested in
the action of Que Government at this
time, that we cannot suppose for one mo-
ment that they will remain careless and
idle spectators of the revolution that is
going on in our midst. Neither Of these
nations desire for moment to interfere
with our internal affairs or forms of gov
ernment. But with many millions of the
people dependent upon our products for
their daily bread, it is not to be supposed
that they will suffer blockade of our
ports and the ruin of their commerce, in
the midst of the revolutionary feeling in
Europe, without making an effort to stay
the disaster. France and England will
play bold and controlling game in our
affairs, in the event of civil war in this
country. We may not like it; but we
cannot help ourselves.-Plain Dealer.

migration has been going on on that island, the
emigration being instructed when the proper time
arrived to hoist the Spanish flag and invoke the
protection Of Spain. This was done much to the
astonshment of the blacks and natives When
the news reached Havana, the rigatc Biara, fully
armed with large number ofregular troops, was
dispatched, sailing on the ODD. Two screw fig.
atos will follow with Ave thousand regulars.

The Spirit Of IL epub Iicanism.

The following shows the temper of rad
ical Republicanism. Its motto is "Sink
or swim, live or die, survive or perish,
we are for tho Chicago Platform. and
nothing else." The country is made
subordinate to party. The Pontiac, Mich,
Sentinel says: ...... ...r.
"Sutan was kicked out of Heaven, and
totally damned for all time to come. AS
Republicans, we must do the same. Any
man in the phalanx Of freedom who backs
down at this juncture of affairs, whether
it be VIM. IL. Seward or Judge Kellogg,
we say, let the fiat of Gamnation be hurled
at thcm--sond them roaming over the
earth with satan, the latter the adversary
Of tho souls of men, and the former the
enomies of the earth y well-being Of the
whole human family, While God reigns
supreme, and his laws are immutable, we
will donouncc any Republican who goes
astray from the cherished principles OF
freedom onunciated in tho Chicago Plat
form. "Sink or swim, live or die, sur
vive or perish, we are for the Chicago
Platform and nothing elso.'

The three-nnhs Representation

A Republican complained to US recently that
three.filhs of the slaves were represented in the
Congressional aIportionmcnt, and that by this
the North suffers great injustice. Most people
understand this three ifths representation, but for
the information of those who do not we will ex
plain it. Under the present apportonmcnt law a
member Of Congress is allowed to every 30, 500
inhabitants. In enumerating the population for
members Of Congress in sayehoIIing States three
fths Of the slaves are counted as inhabitants, the
other two.ffths are not counted at all, The
slaves have no vote, neither do their masters vote
for them; three hfths Of them are counted the
same as ve.ffths or all, of the children are. In
the free States all the negroes are counted in this
hpportionmcnt ranking the same rs women and
children n making up the necessary population
for member of Congress. The negro rprcscn-
tatiou is in favor Of the free States, all the ne.
grocs being represented, while in the South but
three-fifths of them are represented This is all
there is Of the three -llths slave representation.

these, il we add the different branches, in
Guiding Sarcngities, Rigdonitos and

,Vbc O,,io Democracy.

When the gallant Democracy OF Ohio in their
ite State Convention, says the Dayton Emprc,
took bold and fearless stand against the bloody
policy Of coercion, and declared their determine
ton to labor forpeace and against war, there went
up from the Republican press the howl OF treason
and 'traitors." The men who had al 'ays labor
ed for the best interests orthe country, and whose
patriotism had never been doubted, were stigma
TIED as "ARNoLDs" by members Of sectional,
unjust party, whose FIRST triumph was secured over
the Acknowledgement of once glorious Union.--
But the Democracy believing their position right,
stood nobly to it, nor WINGED nor fatercd under
the Republican cry of"trcasou" and "taitors."
Time and events have fully demonstrated the wis.
dom and policy Of the position taken by the Ohio
Democracy in Convention assembled Let the
people remember these things in connection with
the fact that prior to the PRESIDENTIAL tn,
Democratic purity sounded tho alarm, AMI waneI
the people against the very troubles that hav,
broken up the Union. And in future let them no
turn their backs upon an organization under whos
many years Of administration the country prosper
cd and grew to wealth aud power.

Some time since, through the exertons OF the
well known Chicago detective Pinkerton, plot
was discovered having for its objects tho robbery
of the mail and express on the Pittsburgh, Ft.
Wayne and Chicago Railroad. The ramifcatons
Of the conspiracy extended over tho entire line'
and the officer alluded to was but waiting f, =
vorablo opportunity to seze the principal offenders,
when a circumstance transpired which had the
effect of rendering all his plans useless, and of
delaying for a time at least, the arrest of the
guilty parties. Itappcars that member of Ill.,,
gang desired letter forwared from the Post OF
flee at Pittsburgh to one Of his companions in
Mansfield, and wrote note TO Postmaster Dunn
to this effect. The fellow, however, made the
mistake Of placing letter intended for another
Of the gang, and which the designs of the con.
spirators were fully set forth, in Mr. DUN's en-.
