We regard this as the most sensible resolution npon this subject we have yet iseen, , The idea that a dissolution of the Union, itself the very worst of evils, can be regarded as a remedy for any grie vance, is, to use the words of our contemporary of the BiUiinore American, " analagous to that w hich prompts tho morbid mind to contemplate suicide as a means of deliverance fran the trouble of the world."
