Republican ssUnioDism.,
The record of the extreme Administrationists
is worthy of notice in the present phase of public
affairs Their pretended love for the Union now
is in direct conflict with their avowed disunion
sentiments OF few years ago. The leading
Republican, or now called "Union" organs, la
bored for years to break up the Union, and not
only protested against "pinning the South to us
bv bayonets," but declared that if the Southern
men desired to 20. they would help them to
leave These declarations are familiar to our
readers, but they cannot be too often re-
ported to show that the men who are
protesting the most intense loyalty now were ad
yocating disunion, even after the election of Mr.
LINCOLN. Among the shining lights of loyalty
of the present day is Mr.. DANIEL S. DICKINSON,
Of New York, and to illustrate the character of
the class of men who now the most bitter in
their denunciations of the Democracy, we quote
an extract from a speech he delivered in that
city. in December, 1860 He then said:.

that is wanted merely--the laws are well enough
but il is their execution according to the spirit
in which they were enacted that is called for and
demanded on the part of the South. They insist
upon the great principle of the equality OF the
States, and they are entitled to it upQS every
consideration that influence men, communi-
ties and States The Constitution makes
them equal, and the law makes them equal;
they equal in the sight of honest men, and
are equal in the sight of God, and woe to him
who undertakes to degrade and trampe them
down. [Applause The South see and feel the
advancing population of the North, and that
now in the National Legislature they are in a
minority. They see that in a few years there
will be majority OF two thirds against them
not only of the States, but of representatives OF
both branches of the Legislature. and they well
may fear that the sentiment of the entire free
States will sweep their institutions away, and
hence it is that they take ala -m-hence it is that
they are determined now, having some power and
some strength. unless they have additional guar
antees to protect and sustain them, to secede from
The Union"
Hear him again:
al know there are those among us who say
that the South do not intend to secede they say
that this is unnecessary alarm; they say they
can be coerced and driven back in their position
All that is necessary is irmness. But the South
have for years these little rivulets of oppo-
sition forming upon the hills and forcing down
through the gOrges, until they form the black and
bitter waters of one great sea of Abolition, which
threatens to overwhelm aud enguf them.
LET those who believe that this evil can be
averted, and that the Union can lie preserved by
force, attempt that method; but let good men
every true patriot set to work TO correct the ppb
lie sentiment of the North. The public senti-
ment of the South has been goaded and irritatec
until it has arrived. in good degree. at pon
of desperation. The South cares little about the
mere election of Mr. Lincolh--they view it as thu
development of "A public sentiment, as last snC
final evidence of the sentiment of the free
States"
Still another authority is Parson BRowSLow ;bu
now that he has made good thing out of hi
book and lectures, he will doubtless write in
very different strain from that in which he ex

1--WE have become satisfied that the weakness
of the President and infamy of his counses will

And again:
"Au unwise, unpatriotic, not to say reckless
Abolition cause is being pursued (at Washington

cause the North and the South to drift away from

And vet again:

But there other and greater offenders. Ii
a recent letter, FRANK p BLAIR thus writes o

To cap the climax. however, we must 90 h
the official letters OF Secretary SEWARD, all o
which were supervised and sanctioned by Nj
LINCOLN himself. Writing to Mr.. ADAMS. tn
Secretary Of State deliberately asserted that
