SECESSION MUST CURE ITSELF.
from the New York Tribune.
There is great hurrying to and fro of
life twenty or thirty years ago, bent upon
the administering Of some nostrum, or
, he application Of some plaster, to pre-
y serve the FEDERAL Union These veneer

their guidance than q bul! ~ Tilted to

I For forty years, at certain intervals,
the shareholders have threatened to break
up this Government. Whenever they
have done it, there has always been fourd
plenty Of Northern men to prastrate them
selves in the dust before these political
iconoclasts, and beg them to desist.-
They have offered corn and oil, and the
humiliations and incense of a coutrite
spirit, aud, promising obedience and sub
mission in the future, have always con-
trived to turn away the wrath of the de-
stroyers. The Shareholders have for
borne to ruin the Union as many as Blk
times in Difference to these repeated sur
renders.
Now We are in the midst of another
disunion storm, worse than any which
has ever preceded it. The same class of
men who have quailed SO often before are
now rushing from their obscurity, and
begging the men of the present time to
do what they used to do. Nothing
like submission they cry. "These
terrible disunionlsts must be placsted
We never could save the Union except
"by letting them have their own way

: and do it quick, or you will be forever
