rho Union Mast be Observation-Disclosures
froman Address By Daniel s. Dickinson.
The following extracts are from the report
Of the N. Y. Tribune
THE DEATH OF COMPROMISE.
The report of the FIRST hostile gun which |
was discharged, however, proclaimed TO the |
world that all chances of peaceful adjustment |
were over thu "Heaven in anger for a |
moment, had suffered hell to take the reins"
that Pandora's loK was opened again, and
the desLliest plaques known TO earth let
loose 10 curse IT, but like that repository OF
evils, hope yet smiled st the bottom. Ar
gumeut and opinion were thrust aside for
viol nee and blood with deliberate prepara-
ton. Is it strange that the natural elements
sympathized with the occasion, as the in
telliqence was flashed through the land A
sheet ofcimmerian darkness, near midnight,
hung like death pail over the earth-the
winds moaned heavily, like the wall Of
spirits lost-doors creaked and windows
clattered, driving currents and counter-cur-
rents of sleet and rain descended like roaring
cataracts; but the hOarse and startling Shrek
Of the New York newsboy rose above oil
with the appalling c,y, " the bOmbardment
of Fort Sumter" and
Gave signs ofwoe
That all was lost.
The blood-fend laughed loud; the evil
genius of humanity clspped his hands in
triumph; Monarchy " "Grinned horribly and
CHASTITY" hut liberty, bathed in tears, was
bowed in shame, for the madness Of her
degenerate children.
TIE UPRISING OF TIE PEOPLE.
The first fash of artillery kiudled anew a
fame of patriotic devotion to country, which
will burn with pure and constant glow,
when the lamp of mortal existence shall
pale and ficier in death. Its first rever-
| berations upon the air, aroused a slumbering
| love of Constitution and OF Union, and of the
| cherished emblem of all, the stars and stripes,
which will not again seek repose until the
roar of hostile guns shall be sileneed. It
startled to their feet, as if by a common
impulse, twenty millions Of freemen, to guard
the citadel OF their faith from destruction, as
war was driving his ebOn car upon his re-
morseless mission.
FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
And, it a great power of Europe is disposed
to sympathize with rebellion, and believes
this Government and this people can be
driven by the menance OF foreign and domes-
tic forces combined, 10 avoid the curses oI
war, let her try the experiment But when
they come, to save time and travel, let Them
bring gaduly-executedq a quit-cllim, TO the Union
for such portions of the North American Con-
tinen as they have not surrendered TO join
former conflicts, for they will have occasion
for such an instrument, whenever their i'm
pertinent interference is manifested practi-
cally in our domestic affairs.
GIVE UP THE UNIoN2-EEvER.
Shall we then surrender to turbulence aud
faction, and rebellion, and give up the Union
with all its elements of good, all its holy
memories, all its hAllowed associations, all
its blood-bought history
No let the eagle change his plume
The leaf its hue, the flower its bloom"
But do not give up the Uniou. Preserve
it to flourish in immortal youth until il
is dissolved amid the ''Wreck of matter and
statesman stand by il to the last, whether
assailed by foreign or domestic foes, and il
he perishes in the conflict, let him fall like
Rienzi, the last of the Tribunes, upon the
same stlnd where he has preached liberty
and equality to his countrymen.
Preserve IT in the name of the Fathers o.
the Revolution-preserve it for its grea
elements OF good-preserve it in the sacred
name of liberty-preserve it fol the faithful
and devoted lovers of the Constitution il
the rebellious States-those who are perse
cuted for its support and are dying in its de.
tense. Rebellion can lay down its arms tC
overnment-Governme cannot surrender
to rebellion.
Give up the Union "this fair and fertile
plain to batten on that moor" Divide the
Atlantic, so that its tides shall beat in sec
tions, that some spurious Neptune may rult
an ocean of his own Draw line upon tht
suns disc, that it may cast its beams upoI
earth in divisions Let the moon, like Bot
tom in the play, show but half its face !
Separate the constellation of the Pleiade
and sunder the bands of Orion but retair
THE UNION
Give up the Union, with its glorious flag
its stars and stripes, full of proud aud pleas
ing, and honorable recollections, for tht
spurious invention with no antecedents bu
the history of violated constitution and o
lawless amoition 2 No let us stand by tn
emblem of our fathers,
Flag of the free hearts, hope and home,
By angel hands to valor given
Thy stars have lit the Welkin dome
And all thy hues were born in heaven"
Ask the Christian to exchange the eros
with the cherished memories OF a Savior's
love, for the crescent OF the impostor, or to
address his prayers to the Juggernaut O.
: Josh instead of the living and true God bu
! sustain the emblem your fathers loved ant
cherished. Give up the Union2 NEVER
l The Union shall endure, and its praise shal
2 be heard when its friends and its foes, thos
| who support and those who assail, those VIII
] bare their bosoms in its defence, and thos
who aim their daggers at its heart shall al
