DOING AS THEY Do IN SPAIN.-A lettt r
from the Spanish capital says that there
is great joy in Spain at the prospect Of a
dissolution Of the Union Of the North
American States. Then, considering
that there are many Americans who are
glad of dissolution, it may be said for the
first time thst they do in North America
as they do in Spain. Our cOuntrymen
have never before attempted to act the
Spaniard.

The Implication II not the Declara-


John Bell, the constitutional Union"
candidate for the Presidency, denies that
he and his folio wcrs held that the election
of a Republican President would be
sufficient cause for q dissolution Of the
Union. If that was not the declaration
it was the implication, un1eniably. Mr.
Bells party assumed to be an element
especially risen to prevent the dissolution
Of the Union which was threatened by the
prospect Of the success of a Northern Sec
tional party; his candidacy was founded
upon the presumption that the election Of
Northern party President would endan'
ger the Union, and Mr.. Bells party
tapped up their organization with the ex-
pectation Of bringing the election into
Congress and thereby saving the Union
from the Republicans. Again, it was
sounded broadly forth that the Bell and
Everett party loved the Union so very
dearly that they were to wait and 60 in
with the least sectional and Union endan-
gering Of the greater parties; it cannot
be shown that they were, to any degree
( favorable to the Republican party. Mr.
Bell would give better tone to his pres.
ent professions Of devotion to the Union
by taking the question upon the merit,
of present circumstances, entirely asid,
from the abstraction that he did not, pre-
vious to the election, deem the success o.
Lincoln sufficient cause for dissolution

The final end Of the two months debate
| IN the Assembly on the Union prcscrva-
ton resolutions, transpIred last week in
the adoption of three propositions. First,
That the withdrawal Of a State from the
Union can only be accomplished by sue
cessful resistance to the whole power Of
the United States. Second, That decent
respect to the opinions of the civilized
world and the instinct of selfpreservatiOn,
demand that the United States should use
all its power to protect its property.
Third, That the people Of this State will
sustain and uphold the cOnstitutionally
elected officers in all constitutional efforts
to preserve the integrity Of the Union,
and to enforce obedience to the Acts Of
Congress and the decisions Of the Courts.
We said that the debate terminated in
tho adoption Of three propositions; not
so, the debate ran out to little end be-
tween John CONFESS and Tack. MOntgon-
cry. These two oppOsites chanpionize
contrarily continually, and the final end

them in this way CONFESS said that he
was in favor Of Furnishing the South for
treason. Montgomery asked whether he
would do it by force Of arms. CONFESS
said that Courts and Juries, leaden balls
and hempen ropes were the means. The
subject now entirely took the form Of a
ropes end. Montgomery said that great
deal had been said about bullets and OpcS,
but their application was not explained
CONFESS quoted" No rogue e'er felt the
halter draw, with good opinion Of the
law. Montgomery said that that &c.
counted for Conncss' nntipathy to law.

Warm Feelings up In the Snow.

Warm Feelings up I'm the Snow.
A resident of Mt. Hope, on the Carson
road, does not live so high in the snow
but that he has warm feelings OH the sub.
ject of disunion. lie has written to us
to say that he is disguised with the sing.
song newspapers which profess to give
impartial news, but give according to
their prkjudices. He, Of course, instan-
ces the Sacramento Union, and having
seen more than he can stand as to what
the people of the South are, and what
they would do, will do, or have done, he
at last determined to send us extracts Of
a letter lately received from citizen Of
Augusta, Georgia, who has belonged to
the American party since 1855, and who
last year was in favor Of Bell and Everett
for the Presidency, and has worked po-
litica!ly with Ex-Governor Crawford,
Charles j. jenkins, Aug. R. Wright, Hill
and others Of that class Of public men.
This letter shows that all classes Of pco-
pie in the South have come to the final
conclusion to have their rights or die in
the attempt to get them. There is but
one class in fact, and that one is resolutc-
ly determined to stand by cause which
is esteemed entirely just.
Our correspondent is undoubtedly cor
rect in preferring his letter information
to that regularly, studiously and falsely
impaired by incendiary and deceptive
prints, which would not draw a decent
and liberal conclusion if they could from
the real state of affairs which they op-
pose. 1t is now far beyond doubt that
the mass Of the people Of the South have
carried the secession movement to the
formation Of a new Confederacy; the
party demagogues might have performed
a work of less magnitude, but they could
not have designed and accomplished one
so great and unexampled.
