From the Providence Journal

Do any of our readers recollect having
seen some ten years ago-nay, only five
years ago o--thc following petition in circu
lation in this state ? We do. Every year,
for many years, this petition went the
rounds, and was signed by all or nearly all
tine leading aboltionists of New England.
Such men as Garrison and Phillips headed
the list signers. We know many Of those
who signed it in this city, and all Of them
are supporters of the administration. They
call themselves unconditional unionists,
and denounce all democrats as copperheads
and traitors We 90 not know that Abra-
ham Lincoln ever signed one of these peti
tions; but we DO remember his declaration
that house divided against itself cannot
stand" Here is the petition
7otAs Senate and House Of the United
States:
The undersigned, citizens and inhabi.
tants Of, respectfully submit to Con-
gIess that, in the nature Of things, antago-
nistic institutions can never unite.
That an experience OF more than three
score years has demonstrated that there
can be no real Union between the north
and south. We therefore believe that the
time has come for new arrangement oi
elements so hostile, interests SO ,rreconcil
able, of institutions SO incoagruous: and
We earnestly request congress, at its present
session, to take such initatory measures
for the speedy, peaceful and equitable dis
solution Of the existing Union, as the exi.
gencies Of the case require, leaving the
south to depend upon her own resources,
and take all the responsibility in the
maintenance Of her existin & slave system,
and the north to organize an independent
government in accordance with her own
IDEAS Of justice and she rights Of man. ;"
Accompanying this document was the
following:
IN. B-The person to whom this docu.
ment is submitted is earnestly requested
to circulate it for the signatures OF men
and women, and see that it is speedily
sent to either senators Wade, Wilson, Hale,
Seward and Fessenden, or to any other

The Late Northern Elections.

A merely partizan victory is OF compar'
atively trifling significance to the nation or
the community generally. 1t makes nc
essential difference as to what the names OF
the persons are who draw salaries for pub
lie services and control official appoint.
ments. But the triumph of certain defin
ed and fundamental political principles is
quite a different matter, involving the per-
manent welfare of the people and the per-
manent fortune Of the republic.
1t is useless to deny the full import and
character Of the recent republican or abo-
lition victories in the north. They mean
some thing more than the success Of a par
ty. They are declaration in favor Of GER.
tain principles and purposes bearing upon
the future life Of the nation. They signify
the mastery not Of certain men, but OF
certain ideas. They mean the present per
pctuation Of the sectional logic Of Summer
and Wilson the popular adoption OF the
diSunioniSm of Garrison and Phillips. A
majority of The northern people have deib
erately determined to wage war at the
ballot box and in the tented field for the
supremacy of the Federal government over
the STATES, and for the supremacy of the
north over the nation. The contest which
was begun for the salvation Of the Union
has become war for sectional domination,
and for this the people have given their
verdict, and for this the war must now go
on.
The men who have done vain but noble
battle under the demo- ATTIC banner. have
sought solely the restoration of the Union
- the old Unlon-the Union Of Washing
ton and of 81. Their defeat proves that
the Union they talked for and voted for
has lost its prestige in the hearts Of the
people. That Union is no longer respect
ed either at the north or at the south as the
SUN of political blessings. For the pres
ent it is dream of the past. Hereafter
the contention is to be for new conditions
of unity and for new government. The
days through which we are passing, are
days which will be commemorated in his
tory as the epoch Of the second American
revolution.
Under these circumstances the friends OF
the Union Of Washington have clear and
undisputed duty to perform. If they can.
not arrest the desolating tide and save all
that which is lost, they can preserve many
Of the original principles of the govern
ment and transmit to the future the same
undying love Of liberty which has charac'
terized their forefathers and themselves

from the keel Of the first vessel Of the gold
hunters, that sailed between the portals of
the Golden Gate. The salt air lowering
about this apostle Of progress, floats in
acrid perfume over the priest-clad Serras,
and the monotone Of tho ocean moaning
over the coming loss of its supremacy,
bears to US song Of empire more wierd
than eyer wizard dreamed, and grander
than ever flashed in fancy across the brains
Of the stern men who nursed our country
into being.
Here, where silver sprite, rising from
a now-wreathed couch, has woocd dusk

children are peopling desolate waste with
