This was truly noble speech, but we

From Washington andathe South, the
news comes up complicated and gloomy
.as7ever. Vailandigham, the Democratic
Congressman of this State, who says he,
and; all his Democratic constituents, will
spill the last drop of their blood before
theslaws of the Union shall be enforced
in the South, has justproposed scheme
for dividing the Union into four nations.
He assumes that the South will never
return to- the Union. And he is not
willing to remain ina Union with New
England, New York and Pennsylvania.
These States, be says, areiin favor of
tariff, and eaneneEer be brought back
again to the Dcmoeracy. But he holds
that the Western Statess may, by the
proper management Ibe carried for free
ietladesahd through 'thatspoiicy the Deu-
ocratic party may be restored to power
therein; and. through that, ,Eal union ef-a
fccted with the South, which, in time,
will be able to crush out the Eastern
and Middle States. ssl-
We have said in former letters that
the Northern leaders we're deliberately
lin. the conspiracy to dissolve the Union,
with the hope and dJexpectation, that in
the panicsand distress which would fol-
low, such changes in the Constitution
could be extorted from the fears Of the
people as would give the power ef1the
EcountrE again into the hands of the slave
Fholders-=sand having reinstalled the

This part Of The programme is fully
established BY the declaration Of slidefi,
| Of Hodisisna, ands other secessionists,
on retiring from, the Senate and
House Of Representatives. Fromthese
declarations just made, what we have
heretofore charged is established beyond
all controversy. And twill be seen
from their declarations, that the hope
which the Northern leaders have, that
the disunion of the States, and the
panic thereby created will result in the
reconstruction Of the Democratic party
lin the North, acas a part Of the original
plot, and its controlling, anotiue. This is 4

they were using all their. efforts to in-
