dissolution of the Union. In the fall of
the democratic party the northern demo-
cratic sentiment was divided-the south
was politically estranged, and the issue
which was threatened as the result Of Mr..
Lincoln's election was preeipitated upon
the country. That issue, by their own
wicked intrigues. Involved cisilwar. The
election of the President was nothing more
than the pretext for the contamination of a
log Nntiad fstcme, spl aging from the
brain OF John c. Calhoun. and the friends
of ME- Breekiaridge in the last election
were the mere agents of a deep aud dark
Conspiracy. : They executed thc dMies %
their agency until the close of Mr.. Buch-
anan's administration. They in the north
insisted rpon hrmiliaths ecncessions TO
the south. and clamored for a most dis
graceful surrender Of our national honor.
Tpy &encouaaeel Mr. Bueha ban in his
weak and timid policy. and as state after
state seeded from Athe Union, they at

ofsecurity fhey talked Of the wrongs
Of the south. and prepared compromises
while the. sonfh talked treason and pre-.
pared batteries at Pensacola and Fort
Moultrie. The outrage at Fort Sumter

on the Mississippi aud equips an immense
army for the purpose of waging an offen-

hrs rsurpations. and instead 6ftyranny he
is complimented for his forbearance and
long suffering. According to their argu-
ment the South IS q fearfally injured and

ats maliglant and implacablc foe. They
call this BLACK Republican war;" and
almost in the same voice they complain of
want Of courage On the part of the Hepub-

fighting it. They show on every occasion
the utmost contempt for our flag, and ex-

and that purpose Is the dissolution of the
