Saving the Union.

Union saving propositions seem just now to
form the staple Of newspaper items, and being
q firm Union man myself l must propose q
method of saving it, and if it does not have the
effect desired, l can console myself in the belief
that it is as good as many Of the propositions in
vogue. Once on a time conspicuous politician
proposed to amend the constitution, so as to pro-
vide for three instead Of one president; and it
will be seen that my idea is based on that pro-
position. It is this:--
Have Mr.. Lincoln abdicate. To this there
could be no objection, as the opinions Of the
eighteen hundred thousand republicans who vo-
ted for him are Of no manner of Importance
Then inaugurate Gen. Cushing of Massachu-
SETS Bennett Of the New York Herald, and
Sickles, NJ. C. Of New York, as presidents, to
assume the duties of the Office at once. This
would save the trouble and perplexity of amen
ding the constitution.
But see that it might be urged that this plan
would give New York too much. II the objec-
ton prove serious, compromise by dropping Ben
nett and taking Atkins Of the Bellows Falls Ar
gus And on the whole think Atkins would
be the safer man, besides Bennett may be want
ed in New York to encourage the mobbng of
ministers and sacking of churches. Sicles
could not be spared anyhow, as the government
would require the prestige Of his moral quail
ties. Gushing must have place, as-what there
are left Of them-the Massachusetts volunteers

to Mexico would object to the Generals going
Into exile.
Gen. Scott should be required to resign and
Marshal Rynders of New York take his place.
He could take his own body guard from New
York City, and perhaps if necessary Vermont
might furnish the man for the treasury depart
mcnt.
As am in the way of suggesting, and as it
would be desirable to have the Cabinet unit, |
would propose Wendell Phillips for Attorney
General. This would make n strong govern
ment, and their first act should be to send Ex-
Presidents Pierce and Buchanan, rs ministers to
the kingdom Of South Carolina, to negotiate q
treaty Of peace, and to insure success they sho'd
be authorised to offer the following terms -
l. Punishment of Lincoln and Hamlin, and
confscation of their estates.
2. As Bunker Hill monument is suggestive
of aboIitionism, that shall be demolished imme.
dately.
8. Massachusetts and Vermont shall be sold
at auction and the avails be applied to pay the
! expenses of the South Carolina Convention.
| If this don't save the Union, then please cal
on Senators Toombs and Iyerson for plan.

ALABAMA.-The Alabama papers are
disguised with Gov. Moore's $4,000
purchase of the notorious George Law
muskets. He gave Sl3 for each gun.
which is three times their worth.
The Montgomery Hail warns its rea.
ders, in very excited language, against
a seryile plot which is to be executed
Christmas week. 1t says it has all the
facts in its possession, but refrains from
giving them publicity. Its advice is:
BE on the alert-remember that fire,
poison and the knife are supplied to bad
negroes by our pious brethren of the
North-let no stray Migrants remain
about your premises-jail every 'suspi-
cious' character, hangingsuch as are found
in communication with slaves"

HOWELL CoBB.-The Montgomery
Confederation says that Mr.. Cobb was
at Columbia, S. c., several days, en-
treating and beseeehing the members of
the State Convention to delay secession
until the first Of March, on the ground
that he had the most positive assurances
from the leading men of Virginia, North
Carolina, &c, &c, that these States
would be ready to secede at that time.
The Atlanta (Ga) ConJe3eraey gives
this traitor to his country the following
first rate notice :"
To-day ace jind lNr. Cobb, like the
bandit. fleeing from jsstica and Tie afro
city Of his o'ca deeds, seeking refuge and
SAFETY under Tie cloak Of patriotic de-
votion to Southern rights. To the hol-
lows and caves of the Sixth district Of
Georgia he wends his way in search of
a hiding place, and there to gather about
him clan which, by ambuscade and
foray, he expects to subdue brave and
happy people"

got our man. If we had got our man
we should not have been for breaking up
the Union but as Mr. Lincoln is elected
we are for breaking up the Union l say
no. Let us show ourselves men, and
men of courage.
How has Mr., Lincoln been elected.
and how have Mr.. Breckenridge and Mr..
Douglas been defeated BY the votes
of the American people, cast according
to the constitution and the forms Of law,
though it has been upon a-sectional issue.
1t is not the first time in our history that
two candidates have been elected from
the same section of country. General
Jackson and Mr.. Calhoun were elected
on the same ticket; but nobody consid-
cred that cause of dissolution. They
we're from the South. While oppose
the sectional spirit that has produced the
election of Lincoln and Hamlin, yet it
has been done according to the constitu-
ton and according to the forms of law.

there alone, intend to plant myself, with
the confident hope and belief that if the
Union remains together, in less than four
years the now triumphant party will be-

CONSIDERATION AND CONCESSION.
Mr.. President, | have said mucl more
than | anticipated when l commenced
and have said more now Though external
appearances seem differently than ! have
health Or strength 10 say but if there
is any effort Of mine that would preserve
this Government till there is time to
think, time to consider, even If it
cannot be preserved auy longer If that
end could be secured by making 8 sacri-
flee Of my existence and offering up NY
blood, l would be willing to consent to
it. Let US pause in this mad career
let us hesitate; let US consider well what
we are doing before we make move
ment. believe that, to certain extent

to the North, you ought to come up in
the spirit which shoud characterize and
control the North on this question; and
you ought to give those indications in
good faith tha! viii apprahch what the
South demands 1t will be no sacrifice
on your part. II is no suppliancy on
ours, but simply a demand Of right.
What concession is there in ding right
Then come forward. We have it in our
power-yes this Congress here to-day
has it in its power to save this Union,
even after South Carolina has gone out.
VIII they not do it You can DO it.
WHO'S willing to take the dreadful alter

Mr. LNCoLN's PosITIoN.-The New
York Tribune says editorially:
We are enabled to state in the most
positive terms that Mr.. Lincoln is utterly
opposed to any concession or compro-
mise that shall yield one iota of the po-
sition occupied by the Republican party
on the subject Of slavery in the Terrific
ries and that he stands now, as he stood
in May last, when he accepted the nomi-
nation for the Presidency, square upon
the Chicago Platform"

AGRICULTURE IN ORLEANS COUNTY,
We have now on hand several arti-
cles from the pen of Rev. S. r. Hall
upon the subject Of " Agriculture in Or
leans County" with the promise Of 9th
ers hereafter. We have been obliged to
defer them till now because Of toe press
ure on our advertising columns, and Of
the secessionists upon the reading de-
partment. We shall publish them before
long, and we have no doubt that they
win prove interesting to the tillers Of the
soil as Mr.. Hall is a man who has paid
much attention to the subject of agricul-
ture and every thing pertaining to farm
ing, and is capable of impariing instruc-
ton to those who have toiled harder and
thought less than he has.
DONATION IN BARroN.-We learn
that the friends of the Rev. d. S. Dex-
ter in Barton met at the town hall on
the evening of Dec. goth, and testified
their appreciation of his services the
| past year by leaving him the comfortable
little sum of sos in cash and SIS in
stuff for theinner man-something to eat.
No doubt their pastor will preach to
them bow they may dodge the Devil
with still greater Derterity,

gests that We in future, when we have
big crops reported TO US, have the parties

Mr.. Merriam was duly sworn. Perhaps
he tells the truth. Perhaps.
DEATHS TX COVENTRY. - Fifteen
deaths occurred in Coventry during the
year 1860. This was more than double
the usual average, but was not Occasioned
by any prevailing disease. Three died
at less than three years of age; four, be-
tween 10 and 20; two between 20 and
so: three, between 30 and 40; one, be-
tween 40 and 30; one, between GO and
70; and two, between Is and 80.
Brooks BROAD WAY MlNsTRELs.-
This deservedly popular band of min
strels under the lead of w. p. Chamberlin
gave entertainments in this village on Wed
nesday and Thursday evenings, and to a
crowded house each time. Their jokes
and witticisms are pointed, and not stale
and silly like most strolliag darkie deln-
Gators. They are all good singers, but
Mr.. Clark is the best, having one of the
heaviest bass voices we ever heard and
what is better still and the most singular
thing Of all, they are gentlemen. Such
performers are too apt to be the opposite
Of this.
They perform at Barton village to
night and will have a full house we will
warrant.

We do not think though, we have
just cause for going out of the Union
now. We have just cause of complaint ;
but we are for remaining in the Union,
and fighting the battle like men. We

our backs on our own camps. We intend
to stay and fight the battle here upon this

COERCED.
What is the first threat thrown out?
1t is an intimation to the border States
abiding especially, suppose, to Virgin
ia, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri.
They constitute the first tier of the bor-
der slave States. The next tier would
be North Carolina and Tennessee and
Arkansas. We in the South have COM
planned and condemned the position as
sumed by the Abolitionists. We have
complained that their intention was to
hem slavery in, so that, like the scorpion
when surrounded by fire, if it did not die
from the intense heat of the scorching
flames, it would perish in its own poison
Gus skin. Now, our sister, without con-
sulting her sisters, without caring for
their interest or their consent, says that
she will move forward that she will de-
stroy the government under which we
have lived, and that hereafter, when she
forms constitution, unless the border
States come in, she will pass laws prohib.
