THE UNION ONE AND INsEPARABLE.
That portion of the earth's surface
which is owned and inhabited by the peo-

THE NATTER N 4 NUTSHELL
One section of our country believe sla-
very is right and ought to be extended
while the other believes it to be wrong
and ought not to be extended This is
the only substantial dispute The fugi-
tive slave clause Of the Constitution and
the law, for tue suppression of the African
slave trade, are each as well enforced, per
hapS, rs any law can ever be in commu-
nifty where the moral sense of the people
imperiectly support the law itself The
great body of the people abide by the legal
obligations in both cases and Il few break
over each. This ] think cannot be per-
tectly cured and itwould be worse in both
instances after the separation Of the sec
tons than before. The foreign slave
trade, now imperfectly suppressed, would
be, ultimately, revived without restric ton
in one section, while fug:tiyes now only
;lertialiy surrendered would net be surren-
/ cred i. all to the other
THE PHYSICAL ARGUMENT AGAINST DI5uSfoN.
Physically speaking we cannot sepa-
rate, we cannot remove our respective sec
tons from each other, nor build an i'm
passable wall between them A husband
and wife may be divorced and 90 out of
the presence and beyond the reach of
each other. but tue different parts of the
country cannot do this They cannot but
remain face 10 lace, and intercourse either
amIcaGle or hostile must continue between
them. Is it possible then to make that
intercourse more advantageous or more
satisfactory after separation than before
