and definite dismembcs aent OF the Union
they will at least have escaped the terrorism
with which the free States taey leave behind
them are menaced. Then we shah have it. The
agrarianism which has remained FOR quarter
OF century in allegiance is to be again I'M
chained. Abolition having produced It's fullest
extent of evil, proletarianism is to become its
substitute Capital and free labor are to be
arrayed in opposition, just as slave property
and ownership have been made the basis
hitherto of an '.irrepressible conflict" An
archy is to be preached in the shop, anarchy
on the farm, anarchy on shipboard, and from
the verge of Maine to the distant praries and
to the Pacific, the rights of property are to be
discussed as religious question, involving sin
in the capitalist and dire oppression, to be
resisted to the blood by those whom accumu-
lated wealth employs.
Anti-slavery, pushed to its last logical limit,
would hang, burn behead or otherwise destroy,
under the leading of ferocious priestcraft,
every STAKEHOLDER in the land. 1t has made of
mere social institution question of salvation
and damnation, and created, as an intolerant,
aggressive religious dogma, the necessity of I'M
dying enmity to what is woven into the common
law and constitution Of the country. It has
driven several States from the confederation,
and the remainder of the slaveholding States
will soon follow them. 1t menaces us with
civil war, and, under its control, attempted CO.
ercion would soon turn the hand of brother
against brother, immediate in fire, famine and
IL -
and reduce this happy republic to wreck of
misery. 1t has done its worst, and now, exult-
ing in their work, those who have reduced us
to SO sad a condition psint skeleton finger
towards the future, and say to property holders
at the North:-iAs we have done unto the
South SO will we also do unto you. As we
have arrayed the slave, so will we also array
the workman and the laborcr against his mas
ter, and recommence our career of destruction
under new and still more abominable auspices
of despotism. The credulous, narrow minded,
weak, poor bigoted and ambitious will listen
to us, and with mob noise and mob sympathies
we will soon bring you down to mob destitu-
ton and mob level"
This is the prospect that awaits the North in
case of a dissolution Of the Union. 1t NAV not
come for five years, perhaps not for ten, per-
chance not for twenty. 1t required quarter
of century to bring abolitionism to its climax.
But it is the inevitable tendency of the teach
ings of those who have constituted themselves
an oligarchy Of social and religious dogma at
the North. Let the conservative portions OF the
country, which are now in the asccndcncy, be
warned while there is time, and repudiatc with
the all powerful voice of public opinion errors
which, If winked, at must result in disaster to
themselves.

a glance at the geographical divisions

proceedings Of the Convention Of Western
counties, now in session at Wheeling.
Although the State is divided into four
civil sections, the Underwater, Piedmont
valley, aud Transatlantic districts, the
natural geographical division is into three
the Eastern, hich consists of the Tide
counties, lying east of the Blue Ridge; the
Middle, or valley district, being twenty
eight counties, lying upon the hills and in-

Alleghanies; and the Western, beyond the
mountains, adjoining Ohio and Kentucky

a charm. 1 have been AFFLICTED for near two years
with Dyspepsia; two-thirds Of the time von,ited

Added to this, suffered with the scrofula very

Pu1LL1p.TME SECOND AT HIS WRITING

PHILLIP.THE SECOND AT HIS WRITING
TABLE.-Thcre sat the patient writer
in his cabinet, busy with his schemes.
His gray head was whitening fast. lie
was sixty years of age. His frame was
slight, his figure STOPPING, his digestion
very weak, his manner more glacial ard
sepulchrll than ever; but if there was
a hard working man in Europe, that
man was Phillip II. And there he
sat at his table, scrawling his epistles.
The fine innumerable threads which
stretched across the surface of Christ
endom, aud covered it as with net, all
converged in that silent, checrless cell.
France was kept ir state ofperpctual
civil war; the Netherlands had been
converted into a shambles; Ireland
was maintained in state of chronic
rebellion; Scotland was torn with in
ternal teuds, regularly organized and
paid for by Phillip; and its young
monarch" that lying King of Scots, "
as Leicester called him-was kept in a
leash ready to be slipped upon England,
when his master should give the word ;
and England herself was palpitating
with the daily expectation Of seeing Il
disciplined horde OF brlgands loose upon
