Say wbat we will shoot the ii,ipossi bility ot adissolotkm of this glorious union of States, such a catastnphe i posriliie. and ereats are f;st hurry ina us to the pre cipice. The union of some of the church es, whose ties ought, if possible, to be more sacred than oar political bonds, is already dissolved; in others the breach is becom ing year by year, wider and wider, and all religions ami bene ri dent institutions are threatened with disruption. Mutual defian ces arc pus.-cd betwi en men of the North and iiivii of the South, attended occasmu allv by scenes of violence between individ uals which need only an accession of num bers to each side. t becmac a most embit tered and bloody civil war ! Ami Congress has just adjooroed without making appro priations fcr the support of the army, w1hu every man of them knows that nothing but its presence in Kansas, prevents that Ter ritory from 1 eOuittj tlie peat of .an exter minating ci vil war, which would almost cer tainly xtend through the centre of the I'nion to tin- Atlantic coast. Is the coun try ripe for th;s ? Are Pennsylvania, Del aware. Marj land Mid Virginia trilling to be come frontier States of two Kmpires. whose peopls sh-.l Le embittered against each oilier with an intense hatred arising nul of mutual injuries? Are Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois and Kentucky, prejared t see the Ithiu IJiver. now the channel of a peaeetul commerce, eonvi rted into a river of blood, whose f rt.'li- shores and thriving cities ahull In- alternately ravaged hy lire and BWOtd .' Are tlie Ji i-ple of all the confed erated States, North and South, prepared to see their sons dragged from their fruit ful fields ami sauting hearths to be slaugh tered in intestine war, and all the fruits of their labor taken from them to support con tending ai mies ? Let no man shut bis eyes to the danger, or imagine that the consequences are exag g rated. The signs of tlie times are, a- it were, written upon the Heavens; and should this Union ever be dissolved in consequence of the qoesthw which mar agitates it. it will be as possible to unite fire and water in har monious action in the same furnace, as to preserve peace between our dissevered communities. Tfaurst asunder by one grand explosion, the shattered fragments would dash against ami destroy each other on a sea of anarchy ami filially sink ami be lost beneath the calm of despotism. Permit me to glance rapidly at the worst of those dangers and the means by which they amy be obviated. 'I he States which achieved our indepen dence ami formed our original Union were ail Blareholding States. Most of them con tinued to be slavehnlding at the turn- of the adoption of the Constitution. The basis of tie- Union and of the Constitution, was the perfect equality of tin- States in every respect. Being fill, or nearly all slnvehold ing States, it is impossible to believe that shareholding won Id have been considered by thorn a valid objection to the admission of a now State into the I'nion. Nor would it have been anticipated that Congress bhould in any way interfere, without the voluntary consent of all the States, for the purpose of shaping the institutions of States or Territories before admission, such inter ference being as effectually a violation of the principles ()f equality as an interference after admission. The Northern and most of the Middle States have by degrees abolished slavery, as they bad a right to do. without interfe rence or complaint from the Southern States. There was no Southern aggres sion" to compel them or even persuade them to retain their slaves, lest the "slave pow er" should be weakened. Emancipation was gradually advancing from North to South when Missouri .applied for admission on the same footing with the original States. No artificial means had been resorted to for the purpose of making her a slave or a free State; but open to ev ery natiou, from the North as well as the South, she had been peopled by ii voluntary emigration, and her constitution emanated from tiie uncon strained will of bet people. Whose "ag- greaeion was it that refused her adnussiou into the Union on the same footing with the original States It was the Northern and Middle States, which, having been themselves left free to abofisfa slaverv or not. attempted to force the people of Mis souri to do the same thing. Not content with the blessing of free negroes in their own States, they must attempt to force it on other States ! This Northern "aggression" ended in the Missouri Compromise, which the slave holding States mbmitted to rather than break up the I'nion, though it was a viola tion of that principle of equality among the States which underlies the Constitution, and is the only sure guarantee of its perpe tuity and of the peace and glory of our common country. Whether it was wise todistarh that Com promise or not is not now the pu stion. It has been disturbed, and hcing wrong in principle, it ought never to be restored. The subject is now left on the statute book precisely where the Constitution left it. But with that a portion of the Northern people wen- not content. As Coiigres.- bad reced ed from the statuatory "aggression," they sought to renew it by private organizations, such as Emigrant Aid Societies, for the pur pose of filling the territory of Kansa- with a peculiar cms of popomtioa, and in that manner eontroling its institution-. As one wrong step in sach matter.- gene rally pro motes a more aggrai ated wroagon the other ante, the alias ourmas, excited by this con certed effort to plant on their borders and organise into a State, a species of popula tion hostile to their institutions ami danger on- to their property, rushed over tin- bor der, controlled the elections, anil gave the Territory a code of laws disgraceful to themselves, to their country ami their age. And thereupon the emigrants from the North got up a party convention, adopted a partv constitution, and set up party authorities lit opposition to those constituted by congress. Nothing but collision was to be expected, and collision cume. Outrages and ussas- ninations multipliod ; parties were arraying themselves into opposing hosts armed tor dcadlv conflict, when, as was its imperious daty, the Government interposed to prevent , the fratric'xM war. A measure was devis ed to enable the whole people of Kansas to narticiuate in the formation of a constitu- i tioii. upon which they should bo admitted . into the L njon, and provision was made to j jansas Four i,unjred abolitioni.-ts under secure perfect freedom of opinion and r.c- , hayo actuaU c,,:ne jIlto the territory ! tiou to every voter, that the will of the ma- j c-mlInt.Iieed a war of extermination up : ioritv mi'dit be trurv expn. ssed m the msti- , ,rnuvarv . ttler. tutions of the new state But this measure I .1 .1 1. . - .

And this dictatorial and i tyranica principle i at the bottom of all this cry of "no more slave States." The 1 people of States who have done as they pleased ou tins subject, are called upon to force their notions on the new States, under the penalty of exclusioa from the Union. What would be said if Southern men were to raise the try of "no more free States!" Should we not hear an endless and just clamor against the arrogance aad aggres sions of the "slave power," and witness or- I ganizatioas to rc.-i-t its encroachment : ! And i- the reverse cry of "no more slave j States," coming from the other end of the Union, less arro- ant and aggressive ? To find a remedy tor present disorders and give security to the Union, is the glori ous mission of the American Democracy. Their means are found in an indexible ad herence to the principle that every comma nity which proposes to place its star upoii our banner shall, like Massachusetts and VirirHHa. he allowed to deal with the sub ject of slavery just as it ideaso they must take measures to secure to the peoi f -. . . r . i i in V, . h ffi of iji n ii i i IU..IUI -I mi ,rii- ........... T the right to frame their own constitution and make their own laws, and most then admit them into the- Union on the samefoot- j ing as the original States. That this prin- ciple must ultimately triumph, I do not ' doubt, and that it will triumph in the aii ! proaebittg Presidential electio'a, 1 verily be f lievc. It appeals to the head and heart m' every man. In its triumph there is safety and peace, and in its prostration there is ' confusion, civil war and disunion. In Buchanan and ISreckiuridira the De- ! iiiocracy have leaders worthy of the princi ples which are inscribed on their banner. To characters unsullied by a stain, they ; add it moderation and experience in public tie winch rallies around them in this hour ot peril, patriotic men of whom the great object o ;ill parties with preserving the I moil silences all objection on the score ; of old associations and party platforms. I do not say that the election of Col. Fre mont would be ii dissolution of the Union : but I do sav, it would be a portentous step in that direction. Elected by a divided North, with iin united South against him, be must of necessity be a minority President, ' and at the best which can be anticipated, ! his Administration would present a scene of constant agitation and discord subver- , sire of good order and the vital interests of the country. If the time shall come whenfJ the Democracy of that section shallfurrender ' to faction and fanaticism, and that section I shall' with one voice join in the cry. "no more slave States," then indeed may we despair of the Union. ut shall that time ever con:!- ? I hear the united voice of the New York Democracy in thunder tones an swer "No, never." Forever will we uphold this glorious Union, In vain shall the pul pit proclaim a new gospel, proscribing from the Church and from Heaven, Abraham. 1 Isaac and Jacob, David and Solomon, Jew ish Saints and early Christians, because i they held slaves: the author of Christianity , himself, and his apostle Paul, who returned a fugitive slave to his master, and even the God of the liile. who authorized the dews iu the laws of Moses to buy slaves and hold them in bondage forever as an inheritance for themselves and their children. In vain shall political demagogues, for the pur ' pose of acquiring office and power, appeal to the just prejudices of the people against slavery, and inculcate an unjust hatred of slaveholders. Be it the province of the De I moeracy to drive back the crusaders from the pulpit by the precepts of the book, which in theory they recognize as divinely inspired but repudiate in practice ; to expose the arts of demagogues who seek advancement by falsehood and agitat ion : who shout for "Fre mont and freedom" without even pretend ing that the principles they tench would trive liberty to ;i single slave: who preach tlie ecpiality of the negro, but will not treat Inni as an equal by marrying nun to their daughters: who ib-nv to him the improve- ment t bis physical condition and are op posed to his emancipation and removal to new pommunitii s which arc willing to re ceive him; who, in fine, would take from the whites iii every Territory of the I'nion an essential portion of their own liberty the liberity to make their domestic institutions according to their will at the haaard of their country's peace and union, without the slightest advantage to any human being. The theme is inexhaustible, but I have already transgressed too far on your pa tience. Permit me to pay, in conclusion, that I am not a slaveholder, and have an insupera ble repugnance to the institution. My po litical Course ha been ran ; 1 do not need my country's offices, and aspire to none ol its honor.-. My aspirations are only for it. peace, prosperity and glory; and I pray my Cod that whether the c gradation of our I'nion may come sooner ir later, if come it must, 1 may nt live t- see it.

Titus was at Lawrence, and was suffering badly from his wounds ; he was not expected to out live them. Shocking excesses are said to have been committed on the free-state settlers near Leavenworth. Governor Price, who had been in the disturbed district, hurried home in expectation of dispatches from the 3'res ideat", authorizing him to order out the mil itia, in which event ho would tuku the field in person. 500 men were under arms at Lexington.

It is common to hear the remark that the North can take care of itself. Doubtless she can. The enterprise of her people is boundless, an1 her energy indomitable. But it must : be remembered that a dissolution of the j Union with th(J formation of a Northem re ! ... -wm : Public womd cause new combinations ! Commerce is essential to national wealth, no less than national greatness. Tbe North is not an exoortino a - r rj i o u irom it8 climate, soil and production?, cannot be to any uniformly genoral extent. It ig mainly from the South and Southwest that we are indebted for the immense carrvi trade which employs our navigation, jt in the same States that our manufacturer find a large market for their goods, and on importers no inconsiderable proportion of their orders. Now, suppose the Union dis solved, and tho Northern States forming Ou0 republic, and the Southern and Southwest era States forming another. . 44 Suppose, what, under such a condition would inevitably be the case, this Southern republic, with little navigation of its own to foster, and with no manufacturers to enCoa rage, iu reciprocal commercial intercourg0 with all the manufacturing countries ofEu rope, on the bases of absolute and uncon trolled free trade ; suppose what, under the sentiments of animosity engendered bv tho disruption, would be no loss likely to occur discrimination against our ships and goods' of the North, and where would he that pros perity which now gladdens our manufuctnr. fug towns and fills our seaports with life mid activity ? A dissolution of the (JfiM would depreciate the value of tlm propsrU of New England fifty cents on the dollIlr Tho wheels of our nismufactortea would ho stopped, the implements of the mechanic would he put by, our ships decay at our decaying wharves, ami the grass spring up in tlie streets of our towns end eif.es , These would he the material consequence-, Tlie moral consequences may ho rimmjij up in a single lino. The destruction of tji0 world's last hope." WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THi, WHITES ? Such is the question which the Cincinna ti Daily Enquirer urges very npproprinti !, on the attention of the besotted and de bauched idohitors A the abolition dagon, who are lashing theuisclws into convulsions. From this artielo wc extract a passage, 0f some interest and vuluo from such a source; 14 Nothing is more easily demonstrati-d than that the North has a greater interest in the continuance of Slavery in the South, than the South itself. All the burden, blight and evil of Slavery fall upon the South Fhe North quietly divides the products of tho labor, washes its hands of all the sin fulness of it, and is protected from all its evils and inconveniences. Every pound of cotton raised in the South, adds to the North. Boston makes more out of each bale shipped from New Orleans, tfrn the latter city ; she makes it in tho freight of cotton taken abroad ou her ships, iu tho supply of raw material for her manufacto ries and in the articles required to produce it, which are fabricated by Northern artizu:i. "No wonder the North prospers so much more than the South. She has all the ben efits of slavery and none of its evils. She takes the South for her support and curie!, ment. Let Slavery bo abolished in the South, and you may reverse the relations of the two sections. The North will then Imvo to support those w hoso consumption fins ho long burdened and weakened ihe South. We believe that the abolition of shivery would be a great evil to. the country, hut in the division of tho 6vjl, the North would come in for the largest share. Jfoticc.
