Bccchcr. Wc quote from tho "Now York
Suns" report:
! TIE EFFECT OF IMMIGRATION.
| After brief preliminary chat upon his text,
| MIR. Docchcr said that immigration brought
us strength, which intelligence would dcvol-
op: Tho Danc, Swcdo and German certainly
added to tho cclcbral powor Of tho nation
Irishmcn to its activity. AS tho steam cngino
required not manual forco but steam also, 30
our Institutions required tho greatest forco to
run them. But it should be added, that as
tho extent of tho country was immonso, 80
thcrc was greater chance of disintcgration.
TnE NEXT nEDELLIoN
The recent failure of such an attempt ought
not to give us notion that the nation is un-
doubtcdly secure from future disruption
Few know how near the rebellion cnmc to
proving success. 1t was an attempt, how
ever, which was founded upon bad grounds,
upon that which was odious to the moral
sense Of the world But should the Pacific
States in another generation (without sav-
cry, vile curse interfering undertake sep
aration on strong commercial and politico
economical grounds, tho issue would probably
| be very different. Our late success then
must not lead us to suppose that no other
attempts would be made. If tho South
crn States temporarily exhausted, should re-
now tho struggle OH tho grounds of political
policy and economy, the result could not be
forctold. Such was the extent of the country
that, in the future, when the respective parts
became populous and wealthy, separation
could not be stayed if their interests lay in
separation. National unity was secure only
when it was to tho interest of each soction
that there should be such unity. Rhode
Island might not bo able to Withdraw alone
[laughtcr,] nor New Jersey [rcncwcd laugh
ter nor Connecticut, nor even South Caro-
lima, nor any single State; but tho whole
Southwest, the great Northwest, and tho vast
Pacific slope moved on dillcront planes.
HOW DISSOLUTION MAY COME.
In the lato struggle the Union was prcscrv-
cd by military force. Hereafter moral forcc
alone could accomplish such result. While
hc would look upon tho disintcgration of the
Union with the most profound feelings of sor-
row, still, however, he could not regard
movement in that direction with tho same
adherence that he had of the latc attempt
at disintcgration.
cALllouN'S GHOST IN PLYMOUTH PULPIT.
If four great republics wcro proposed in
place Of the present Union, and tho move
mcat was one Of tho people, he should certain
ly feel not as he felt toward the late movc-
mcnt. Separation would not be fatal. But
still tho Union of the whole States was 50
much bcttcr that he considered it tho duty
of every Christian patriot to maintain and
preserve that Union by every moral means
which would secure that end in pcrpctuity.
1t should bo remembered that thcro was no
band nor strip of iron long or strong enough
to hold together unwilling parts. No politi-
cal forco could do it; neither was thcro artil.
lcry enough to do it. Nopolitical forco could
DO it; neither was thcrc artillery enough to
do it. If tho Union stood, it would do so by
common consent, founded upon common in
forests.
