It mighi save a great deal of hold talk and bluster if this fact were alWays kept in mind. Upon this subject the Baltimore Aniefrcah tru ly temarko, that E 0 long.ne threats of disunion are likely to create alarm in the public mind, so long will they be resorted to for political, effect. But let it once baunderstood that such threats are idle, and that those who indulge in them are In a fair way tomoke themselves ridiculous ; that the unity of this Republic is a primary, fact from which our whole political system takes its character and pursues its destiny ; that the continuance of such unity is it.poltslale, not to be argued about, not requiting.proof;not admitting of doubt ;..that any theory of disunion is as absurd as it would be to 'isuppOie that the body of a man might be sew ed in two and both parts remain alive; if these things were rightly appreciated, it might. then folloW that the public councils of the country Would be relieved from much useless confusion, to the great benefit of the public business and to the promotion of the national welfare. The profound assurance which dwells in the public mind, in 'relation to the security of the Vision, is so intimately -blended with the very elements of our Political, being that all the efforts of all the agitators, in different sections 'of the country, have not been able -to disturb the calm serenity of that assurance or to excite alarm.— Moderation end forbearance aro usually the char acteristics of conscious strength ; end we doubt not that the greet National Party, which may be summoned in due time to put down disorganizers from whatever qu'arter they may dome, will be as magnanimous 'ai it must - be powerful. it will breathe the true spirit of the UOnstitation.rit will remember what is due to every portion of the Union ; it will cherish the sentiment of national fraterrity, while its stern re,,buke falls upon the factions that-may seek to obliterate that sentiment. The question , of Slavery and other 'questions may have their 'proper prominence ; but the integrity of the Union, with its high supremacy, must rule paramount over all. 8/../Li'Ll IN CAI.IIOIIiIA,-.-TEIN num ber of Chinese arriving in California at Issracs Coimts was said-to be enormous.
