In our opinion there is no disunion at the South, save what is occasioned by a sense of violated rights, and a conviction that there is little or no hope of redress. There are no better friends of the Union, as established by the Constitution, than these very fire-eaters as they are called, who arc unwilling to be left with all the obligations of that instrument resting upon them, while the lmmuni ties and benefits of it are denied. Just restore the union to its origional basis, the basis or the Don sruuiion ana tt will nave no warmer mends and defenders than the men of the South. Garrison and his crew are consistent ;n denouncing the Constitution as "an agreement with hell" and- the Union, because based on such a constitution: but those men are very inconsistent who pretend to up hold the Union, and violate the Constitution upon which it rests. What but such violation are the "personal liberty bills" which have been enacted in several of the Northern States; the refusal of the North, with some honorable exceptions, tosur render fugitive slaves, as stipulated by the Consti tution, the practical denial to the South of equal rights in tbe .territories; anJ generally a disposi tion on the part of Northern people, or a large portion of them, when they do not distinctly vio late the Constitution (in those features which inure to the benefit of the South) to come as near it as possible? Now, we say that they cannot properly be termed disumomsts, they are only so in case the terms of the Union are persistently violated. And we say that those men at the North and West, who talk of "coercing" ths South to contin ue in a Union which she never assented to a Un ion not such as the Constitution calls for, but such as abolition tyrants see fit to inaugurate are them selves the disunionists: since they virtually sanction a violation on the terms of the Union, which they might have prevented if they would, and then commit the double wrong of compelling the injur ed party to abide under his injuries. If A makes a contract with B containing mutual stipulations, and if A distinctly violates and continues to vio late those of them that inure to B, there is not a court in the land but would say that A is estopped from demanding of B, the continued fulfilment of his part on the contract. And this "covenant breaking on the part of the North, is far enough from being innocent. It is classed in Scripture with the most fragrant kinds of wickedness (Rom. 1, 31.) The true business of the North is to repent, and do her first work?; fulfil her obligations to the South, all of them, as she once did, and as the Constitution requires: and our word for it we rfhall hear no more about disunion and secession at the South, but shall find existing wounds healing up, and the halcyon days of the Republic restored. This is the way to "coerce" the South with bands of love; doing her whole duty under the constitution, and letting the South see and feel that it is a Union Jor her, and not against her. Ifie whole theory of the Union is choice. The moment force is ap plied, against a State or section, that moment the golden chain is broken, and so broken that in all probability it can never be repaired. V. Y Jour nal of Commerce. Judge Bates on Manual Labor. Judge Bates, in a speech commemorating the death of a young memoer oi tne ot. Jouis oar, rererrea to the great mortality of the profession, and added: "Allow me to suggest that there is a lesson con nected with this fact, which it would be wise for us to heed. We are too little attentive, in our ac tive and busy pursuits'for fame and wealth, to the keeping of a 'sound mind in a sound body. We sacrifice the one thing in the hope of raising the other. I will state, so far as regards myself, that for nearly forty years, (and I believe I have labor ed as much as a man ought to labor,) I have made it a rule to work from one to three hours each day in the garden; and thus, though my star has lonr culminated, and I am going down the western slope of life with increasing impetus, I find myself in a good state of health, and I attribute it to the fact that I have exercised my arm to labor in til ling the earth on a small scale; and I advise all my young friends to do the same thing."

The Register reports his address! and says that just as he was closing. Mr Manly asked the SDeakerthe onestion- "What would von do if Mr Lincoln was .WmI Pident T" Mr Vanwnr noli-i i,;a tt... .,nrt ..j - i alluded to the T a ' fact that he had resided twelve years in New iVni..j j nr. f.-i..'.. endorse what Mr Bell had said regarding a dis solution ot tha Union: Mr Manly replied that he asked the question at the suggestion of five other gentlemen, Messrs J R Rogers, Wm Rogers, John M Flemming, W G Brownlow. and O P Temple. They were invited to the stand, and asked the same question seriatim. Mr Brownlow, in answer to it said yes, and ad' ded I propose when the secessionists go to Washington to dethrone Lincoln, I am for seizing a bayonet and forming an army to resist such an attack, and they shall walk over my dead body on their way. J. R. Rogers indorsed Mr Brownlow's position. J. M. rleming If Mr Bell had been interro gated on this point, he would indorse his answer. TI71 it. A- - TIT vw u u toe question was assea n m. xiogers, inr Brownlow said, we all answer in the affirmative. Yancey I asked him. I suppose he knows better than you, unless you have agreed on a ster otyped answer. Brownlow No, we have not been initiated into your league. 1 ancey No, or you would have been a better Southern man. Mr Yancey then read an extract from John Bell's speech, and said: "Now, gentlemen. I will answer your question, ana answered it in tne ioi- lowing woras: By an act of the General Assembly of Ala- . .. ,1 uama, passed ia&t winter, ic is maae ine amy oi the Governor, in the event a Black Republican be eiectea president, in a certain period alter he as - certains it (thirty days, I believe) to make procla mation of the fact, acd that an election shall then be held by the people to elect delegates to a Con vention of the people of the State, which Conven tion will consider what the sovereignty and wrongs done the State requires at his hands. "As I said to you in the earlier part of my speech, I am a States Rights man believing in the right of a otate to command the allegiance and obedience of its citizens, and therefore that my allegiance is first due to my State. I do not be- leve in exercising the individual natural right of rebellion, until both State as well as Federal Con stitutions are broken and my rights destroyed. If the Federal Constitution shall be broken and destroyed by the usurpation of a higher law fac tion, my right to resist is subordinate to my allegi ance to my fctate Constitution. As an individual, therefore, I shall not rebel against such an elec tion, for that would be rebellion also against my own estate authority. Jvat whatever course Ala bama may take, that course I shall be bound by as a citizen, and if it is to acquiesce, I shall do so it it is to secede I shall cast my fortunes with that of that State. . If the Convention shall see tit to go into consultation with the other Southern States, and act as they agree, I shall abide by the action. -11 it shall decide to demand new guaran tees for its rights, before it will remain longer in the Union, I shall acqueisce in that. In fine, as I am bound by, so shall I acquiesce in, all that my State may decide to do. "If my btate resists, I shall go with her, and if meet this gentleman (pointing to Mr Brownlow) marshaled with his bayonet to oppose us. I'll plunge my bayonet to the hilt through and through his heart, and feel no compunction for the act, and thank my God my country was freed from such a foe. This man, forgetful of his nativity, has ut- question by asking another, viz: "Who are you apprenensioH. ine aimcuuy oeiwecn ine u..,. in favor of for President?", Mr Manly replied, tmS nd Mr Grist is of several months duration. i?n. i At- v i.j :rt i j It OTew out of a misund crstanditiir with retrard to tered fratricidal sentiments ot hostility towards been upset on the lake, with fatal result to ti e !;L men of the South who differ with him upon their te The widow was told that "the Lord nave. views of their rights, and the time and manner in which they should be asserted and supported, but who, if they err in judgment, err on the side of patriotism and through their devotion to their na- tive land.

He recognized those who came on the stand as gentlemen, and he bore no personal malice towards them. He hoped no militia office would be conferred on this gentleman (pointing to Mr Brownlow). lie had better preach, ue re- gretted that he had been diverted from words of peace through interruption.

He also thanked the Bell men I who were gentlemen, and those not gentlemen. He knew the power of the Press, the base slanders it had uttered against him. and between now and the end of the canvass they would still go where his voice could not reach. Their lies were like a scrubby quarter nag, while Truth was a thorough bred four-mile horse. On a short race the quarter nag was always successful, but thorough-bred Truth was always victorious in a long race. After a few other eloquent and complimentary remarks to the ladies, Mr Yancey closed. A severe Storm raged in New Orleans and vici nity on the 2d inst, which was the most severe ex perienced for years. The walls of the new build- ings in Camp street fell, killing two workmen.

Last Thurs day, Geo A. Latham and Mr Grist met, when the difficulty was renewed, followed by an alterca tion, in which Latham was knocked down with a stick.
