eg- The reasons why the North cannot
consent to division Of the Union, arc we'll set
forth by late French writer NJ. LabOolaye.
The Bath Times gives part Of his remarks,
from which we take the following:
Take map of the United States: II
yon except Virginia, the two Csrolinas aud
Georgia, which are old English colonies, all
The rest OF the Soath is installed upou lands
bought and paid for BY the Union. II may
be said that the Nerth has bo- ne The great
er part OF the expense. The old Louisiana
was sold to the Americans, 10 1904, by the
frst consul, for seventy eve millions francs,
Florida was bought OF Spain, in 1890, for
Rboqt twenty millions, and to secure Texas
cost the war with Mexico, at IA expense
of one thousand millions and cruel losses
In few words-if you take all the rich
couRtry which borders on the Missouri and
the Mississippi from thSir sources to their
months, there is not sR inch of land for
which the URiCD has not paid, aud which
does not belong to it. 1t has been the
Union which he's driven back and lndemDi
fed the Indians the Union which has es.
tablished forts, navy yards. lighthouses and
hsrbors it IL the Union which has given
value 10 the desert and made its coloni-
cation possible. 1t is m IN Of the North as
well as men Of the South who have cleared
aud planted these lands, and made flourish.
ing States ont Of barren sOitudes. Iu old
Europe then, where unity has everywhere
sprung from conquest, show us anywhere a
proprietary title SO sacred, country which
is more the common work Of the hole

uDitted TO seize upon q territory that be-
longs 10 the whole, and to choose for itself
the best part Of it !? Shall g minority be

The house Of Representatives was brought to
9 direc, Vote on the Revenue bill on Wedues-
day, aud passed it without division, and al
most unanimously. The distinctive feature Of
this new 6nahce Measure is Mr. Spaulding's
principle Of the convertibiIity Of S40o OO0, 600
Of iutsrest-bsariag Treasury Notes into legal
tender. As the bill is almost entirely satisfac-
tory to Secretary Chase, aud as it is probable
that no attempt will be made to tack any
scheme 90 10 il in the Senate, its prompt pas
sage through that body is generally expected.
