NHr. vaIl1ndigham's Proposition
TO Divide the Union into Sec
tiOns,
The memorable amendments to the Con
stitution which Mr. vALLAxDIoHAM pro-
posed in Congress are psrastently misrep,
resented by the Abolition press and ora
tors as & proposition 10 divide the Union
into four Nstionalties. In relation to
those amendments we ask the readers at
tention to tho following extract from Mr..
VALLASDIoHAM'S speech
"sir, the natural aud inevitable result Of
these smendmsnts will be 70 preclude the pos.
sibility of sectional parties and combinations
to obtain possession Of either the legislative
or the executive power and patronage ofthe
/ Federal Government and, If not to suppress
totally, atleast very greatly to diminish the
evil results OF national caueusss, conventions,
and other similar party appliances twill
no longer be possible 10 elect President By
the votes OF q mers dominant and minority
section Sectional issues must cease, "a the
basis, at least, of large party organizations,
Ambition, or lust for power or place must
look no longer to its own section, but to the
whole country and he who wonld be Presi-
dent, or in any way the foremost among his
countrymen, must consult, henoeforth, the
combined good, and the good will, too, OF all
the sections, aud in this way consistently with
the Constitution can the general welfare
be best attained Thus, indeed, will the result
be, instead Of narrow illiberal and sectional
policy, an enlarged patriotism and extended
public spirit I5I
If the reader will refer to the entire
speech from which the above is taken and
to the amendments themselves he will find
that they were designed to perpetuate the
Union, and not to dismemberit. as is base
Ily and maliciously charged.
