edged no'o, because it is necessary for
the well-being of the country that it
shall be acted upon now. So strictly
true is this that we regard the political
destiAies of the nation as in the hands
of conservative republicans. 1t is in
their power, by divorcing themselves
from the abolition element of their par
ty, to give strength and permanency to
a national party, which will sustain
the Union under the constitution in ev-
cry contingency. We do not doubt
their patriotism; but we fear that hab-
it, old association, the timidity which
characterizes most men when party
changes become necessary. may deter
them from taking the important step
of separation from an old political ally.
Yet the good of the nation demands the
step, and we believe that conservative
republicans have sufficient loyalty to
take it.-Chicago Times.

UNlON-FOR THE UNION.

UNlON-FOR THE UNION.
We have been for some time
carefully scanning the horizon,
and to the extent of our sagacity
peering into the future of our
country The result is that we
have ceased to look for any i'm
mediate settlement of our nation
III difficulties. The war is upon
the country and the very exis-
tence of the government depend
ing upon its maintenance, no al
tentative is left us but to fight on
till the rebellion is suppressed,
and peace restored through just
and honorable terms Of concili-
alton 1t is not necessary to mince
matters; radical abolitionism in
it's internal mission to destroy the
government, aided by it's counter
part in the South has brought
our institutions to the verge of
ruin. The only road to peace is
by triumphing over all the enc
mics of the Constitution. Should
every rebel in the South be sus
pended by the neck and slavery
remain, radical abolitionism would
still seek to embroil the country
in war if need be for it's abolition.
There is to be no peace to the
country until the arch traitors
from Maine to Texas banded to-
gether for one common object
the destruction of the govern
nent are BUNDLED and prostra-
ted in political death, and until
then it is futile for any man to
look forward to a re- united and
holy brotherhood of States. Our
constitution was never created to
be the plaything offanaticism and
our country is not to be the
theatre 70 treason, and un-
less both are extinguished, the
one with the cartridge-bex, the
other at the ballot-box, this glori-
Gus government cannot be pre-
served. Principle, feeling and
interest all combine to induce
conservative men to give a COR
dial support to the government

The last Republican casts most
foul aspersion on the present admins
tration when it asserts the P. NJ. of this
place to be a representative of its views
upon the question of slavery. Abra-
ham Lincoln is not an abolitionist, but
is the representative of the conservative
element in his party, and we believe
has no sympathy with the radical wing,
though by trickery, fraud and decep-
ton, they do occasionally get office I'M
der him. All indications of policy 60
to show that the administration will
shun abolitionism as it would pesti-
lance. But to give the country full and
implicit confidence in its purposes, all
such men should be relieved from their
positions Immediately, and conservative
Union men appointed.
The Republican, after a brief
and ftful existance has suspended
publication. The press and ma
terial of the Office goes to Nc
Gregor, and is to be used, we I'M
derstand, in partnership with Mr..
Tompkins in publishing the
Press. If the late Editor of the
Republican can infuse sufficient
amount of patriotism into the
Press establishment to ignore alb
olitionism, we shall begin to be-
lieve in miracles being performed
in these latter days. If not: it is
doomed, for abolitionism with
secessionism has about
run it's race, and will
speedily be arrested from carry
ing its hellish designs upon the
Union into exc cution.
THERE is only one political ques-
ton before the people: will the con-
servativc republicans, the men Of prop
erty, of business, and patriotism. in
some authoritative manner, denounce all
connection with the abolition wing Of
their party, and heartily unite to con-
solidate public sentiment in favor Of a
constitutional conduct Of the wary
There is now no other question. Nor
will there be any other. No platform
on which the emancip:tlonists can stand
will be broad enough for loyalists. This

The Right of Secession.

The New York Tribune 10 mos; uns-
quivocally fer the right Of secession. In
its issue Of Monday last it thu. fsroiby
maintains its position:
We have repeatedly asked those who
dissent from our view of this matter to tell
us frankly whether they do or do not as
sent to Mr.. Jsffsrssn's statement in the
Declaration Of sfIndspeudenee that govern
zasnts "derivs their just powers from the
consent OF the governed; and that, when
s7s- any form Of government becomes dis
trsotivs Of thsss ends. i! is the right o.
the people to alter or abolish it, and to in
sti!9ts new government" DC. We do
heartily aeoep: this doctrine, believing it
lntrinsically sound, bsns6oisat, and enc
that, universally accepted, Is calculated to
prevent the shedding Of seas of human
blood. And. If it justified the secession
from the British Empire of three millions
Of selsnists in 1875. we do see why i,
would net justify the secession of five
millions Of Southernsrs from the Federal
Union in 1861.
Ii we are mistaken on this point, why
does not some one attempt to show where
in and why? For our own part, Will. we
deny the right Of slave holders to hold
slaves sgainst the will of the latter. we
cannot ses how twenty millions Of people
oar rightfslly hold ten or even FIVE in
detestsd union with TEEN by military force.
Ii ever "seven or eight States" send
agents to Washington to say I'VE want to
get out of the Union," I've shall feel con-
strained by our devotion to human liberty
to say, let tLsm go! And We do net see
how we could take the other side without
coming in direct conflict with those rights
of man which we hold paramount to all
political arrangements. however convenient
and advantageous.

Gov. Stewart's Message.

st. Louis, JAM, 3.
Gov Stewards message was read in the
Legislature to-day. After reviewing the
rise and progress of the Abolition and Re.
publican parties, and stating the result oil
their success, the Governor says;
Missouri occupies pasition in regard
TO, .hsse troubles that should make her
voice pstsnt in the councils OF the nation.
With scarcely disnniopist prs. w:th:n
her borders, she is still determined 70 de.
mand and maintain her rights at every haz
ard. Sha loves the Union wills a protsc
tor OF equal rights, bu, viii dos 9iss it if it
ia. used es an instrument o. wrsng. She
came into the Union upon compromise,
and is willing to abide by fair compre-
mise still; not such sphsmsral contracts
as are enacted by Congress to-day and re-.
pealsd to morrow--but a compromise as
suring ali just rights of States and agreed
to a solemn convention Of all parties inter
estsd.
Missouri has right to speak on this
subject. because she has sufft red, having
probably lost as much in the last few
years in the abduction of slaves as sill the
rest OF the Southern States. Speaking Of
secession, the Governor deprscates the 40
ton Of South Carolina, and saws: Our
people would feel more sympathy With the
movement had it originated amongst those
who, like ourselves, had suffered severe
loss and constant annoyance from the in
reference and depredations of outsiders.
Missouri will hold to the Union so long as
it is worth aA effort to preserve it. She
cannot be frightened BY past unfriendly
Legislation Of the North. or dagooned into
secession by restrictive legislation of the
extreme South.
The Governor denies the right of vol
untary secession, and says it would be
utterly destructive to every principle OF
which the national faith is founded; and ap
peals to the great conservative masses of
the people to put down selfish and design
ing politicians, and avert the threatening
evils and closes with a strong recommend
alton to adopt all proper Measures for our
rights; yet protests against hasty and un-
wise action, and records his unalterable
devotion to the Union SO long as it can be
made the protector of equal rights.
The Governor then passes to State mat
tsrs, and shows the finances to be in a
prosperous condition. He recommends q
revision Of the military laws, and advises
armiug the militia for purposes Of protec-
tisn against invasion. He refers to the
condition of the diffe rent railroads, and
recommends the legislature to relieve the
banks from the penalties incurred by the
temporary suspension Of specie payment.

The North After q Dissolution.

The Albany Atlas and Argus thus por.
trays some of the results Of a dissolution
of the U Union.
Separation is dissolution. There can
be no such thing as Northern and a
Southern eonfsdsracy. The Southern
States could not hold together; the North
ern States would not. Once establish a
separation, and New York would look out
for itself Itwould no longer eonsen, to a
system ofpolitical inequality which redu-
css it to the level of the smallest New
England States. 1t would throw off the
commercial restrictions which now hamper
its commerce, and terminate, not only for
itself, but for all the producing States OF
the West. the present protective system.
which was devised for the benefit Of New
England and Pennsylvania.
New York would at once be the head of
a confederation reaching from the Atlan-
tic to the Rocky Mountains. embracing,
besides its own State, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois. Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,. Kansas, Nebraska, besides other
States to be formed out of the Western ter
ritory. with half the population of the
present Unicn. These producing States
would need free port of entry for their
imports and exports. and New York alone
conld furnish it. In the crash of interests
oaused by the di-solution Of the Csnfeder-
scy, she would be the first to regain her
ascendsncy.
Pennsylvania would lose much, New
Eagland all, by such breaking up
Their protective system would be worthless
to them, unless they linked in with them a
body Of consumers in other States, and re-
alizing this, they would ultimately reach
free trade, through the dreadful ordeal Of
public and private bankruptcy.
What the South would suffer under auch
a state Of affairs we need not speculate up
on. 1t esnnot afford to live in state of
agitation or uncertainty, nor its people.

The GREAT MILWAUKEE CosFLAGRl-
TIeNs---I .oss OF LrFE.-From fuller details
of the two fires which occurred in Ailwau-
kes last Saturday night and Sunday NOR
ming, it appears that the total loss will not
fail far below half million dollars. The
most considerable item Of loss is the res
ords Of the city. including $500. 900 worth
of chettel mortgages.
OF the loss of life by the last Ere. the
Press and Nears says:
The startling announcement WAS hxs-
ried about the streets Sunday morning,
that several bodies were buried in the ru.
ins. During the whole of yesterday. frs.
men were engaged in removing the rsb-
bish, but at twelve O'Clock last night ne
bodies had been found. Those missing
are Wallace Caswel Ca son Of Captain
Caswell. } Frank Baird. Charles McDer-
mott, Robert Lundley, and two or three
others whose names We could not learn.--
Amid the confusion attendant upon the Ere,
they were not missed until hours after the
building fell. When last seen. they were
in the stores. and were not observed to
come out.
