POLITICAL.

GEN. JOHN TYLER, JR., son of ex-
President Tyler, is reported as having
closed a secession speech at Norfolk last
Saturday with the cogent exclamation,
"Let the Union go to hell :" We are
sure there must be some mistake as to
the remark or as to the person. Mr..
John Tyler, jr,, has now been public
character for period of very nearly twen-
ty years, during all which time no obser-
vation so energetic and forcible was ever
till now even reported to have emanated
from him. This is probably (deplorable
as is the suppositiou) another John Ty-
Ter, making three of them. Happily for
the rest of us, Virginia has to endure
them all.-N T. Tribune.

THE DEAD MOTHER.

Why are you lying there, mother,
Under that cold gray stone,
Always out in the wind and rain,
Lying so still and lone?
Little Minnie is very sick
On her lip lies the gathering foam:
Why don't you come and mind her now?
. mother come home come home!
Harry ana |, ere we fell asleep
Last night in our little bed,
Were trying to think what they meant by it,
When they told rs you were dead
When we asked our father. he answered,
The knowledge would come with years,
But his hands were casped before his face.
And under them fell big tears!
Hc said, too, twas because you were good.

That God took all who were such.
Harry thinks we might get you back again,
If we asked God very much!
But why don't you speak when l speak?
Why don't you come to US now,
To hear US say our prayers at night,
And TO kiss Us upon the brow2
Old nurse cries, and says to Minne,
That with you she soon will meet;
For night after night on the candle
Is a little winding sheet
I'd rather that you came back to us
And loved US as you used to do
But if Minnie is going to see you,

The morning you spoke to us all last,
When you kissed US each and blessed

And indeed, | try to be good, mother
Since you went meath that cold, gray stone
Won't you come back and see how good am

From Tie Springfield (IH) Journal Of Dec. 90.
There are not few who seem to think
that the Union will be dissolved whenev-
er the South Carolina Secession Conven-
ton passes a resolution to that elect
The Union cannot be dissolved by the
passage of resolutions. South Carolina
may resolve that she is no longer a part
of this Union. She may hold Secession
meetings, mount Disuuion eockades,
plant palmetto trees, make palmetto flags,
trample under foot the glorious flag Of
our country, and proclaim from the house
tops her treason and her shame, but all
this will not dissolve the Union. She
may compel her citizens to resign official
place keld under the federal government,
she may close her courts and post Offices,
and put her own people to a great deal of
inconvenience and trouble, but she will
still be in the Union, unmolested. She
cannot get out of the Union until she
couquers this Government. The reye-
nucs must and will be collected at her
ports and any resistance on her part will
lead to war. At the close Of that war
we can tell with certainty whether she is
in or out of the Union. While this gov
ernment endures there can be no disun-
ion If South Carolina does not obsruct
the collection of the revenue at her ports
nor violate any other federal law, there
will be no trouble, and she will not be
out of the Union. If she violates the
laws, then comes the tug of war. The
President Of the United States, in such
an emergency has plain duty to per-
form; Buchanan may shirk it, or the
emergency may not exist during his ad-
ministration. If not, then the Union
will last through his term of Office. If
the overt act on the part of South Caro-
lima takes place on OF after the 4th of
March, 1861, then the duty of executing
the laws will devolve upon Mre Lincoln.
The laws of the United States must be
executcd-the President has ho discr9,
tionary power on the subject-his duty
is emphaticaly pronounced in the Con-
stitution. Mr.. Lincoln will perform that
duty. Disunion, by armed force, is trea
sou, and treason must and will be put
down at all hazards This Union is not,
and will not, and cannot be dissolved un
til this Government is overthrown by the
traitors who have raised the disunion flag
Can they overthrow it We think not.
They may disturb its peace they may
inuerrupt the course of its prosperity !;
they may cloud its reputation for stabil
ity; but its tranquility will be restored,
Its prosperity will return, aud the stain
upon its national character will be trans
ferred and remain an eternal blot on the
memory of those who caused the disor-
der" Let the SccesSionists understand
it, let the press proclaim it, let it fly on
the wings of the lightning, and fall like
a tbunderbolt among those now plotting
treason in convention, that the Republ-
can party, that the great North aided by
hundreds of thousands of patriotic men
in the Slave States, have determined to
preserve the peaceably if they
can, forcibly if they must,

REVERENCE FOR THE OLD FLAG. There was
an affecting scene at San Antonio, Texas. as
the United States troops marched out Of he
city, which is thus described by The .4iGuio
Express: ssA large concourse OF citizens had
collected to bid the troops of war good by ).
and when the two companies, under the com
mand of Major Smith and Captain King,
marched out with colors flying and band play
ing the national airs, and the old bullet-riddled
and war stained banner of the Sth Regiment
floating in the breeze, there was m ost pro-
10 lud sensation among the people strong
men wept. w, have never seen so much fee
ling evinced on any occasion. The people
cheered the troops all along the streets, and
many followed them to the head Of the San
Pedro, where they encamped."

''FlOrida will soon be called upon to furnish
her quota of men for the regular army of the
