these Chamber arc
predicting disunion, arguing disunion.and
threatening disunion. Every breeze from
the South ia burdeued with these disuuion
predictions, arguments, and threats. In
these Chambers our ears are fatigued with
listening to these disloyal, unpatriotic rev
olutionary, but, thank God, impotent a-
vowals 1 lhat some of the actors in this
.ti feAT, n L.;n nio0,i w ,
. ,i . ,i, ,,,
tric uatiou aro in earnest, that they would
shiver the Union "from turret to founda
tion stone," no one who has watohed their
turbulent career oen for a moment doubt;
but tho vigor of their blow is not equal
to the vehemence of their desire. These
actors have before shown that they are
quite prudent enough, to "let I dare not
wait upon I would." This diHuoion farce,
raliitti flirt lAarnra rtf f L r uli rA.avtunrltnrr
slave-perpetuating Democracy have put
unon tue national stayo. ana turouen tno ;
parts of which so many actors are moving'
with suob tragic strut, is intended to star
tle and appal the timid, make the servili
ty of the servile still more abject, rouse
tho selfish instincts of that nerveless con
servatism which bs ever opposed every
useful reform, and waied over every rot
ten institution as it fell; and thus through
tho cowardly fears and selfirhues of the
optimists and quietists, retain their grasp
on power, oir, we snail tec wnetner tuts
disloyal conspiracy will alarm tho eigh-j
teen million of Northern freomcn; wheth-
r rhfi nnfors in this disunion fKrnrt will
play a winning game; or whether the in
sulted patriotism of the country, North
and South, will not rebuke this exhibition
of madness and folly, and dismiss these
actors from the service of that Union they
tbreateu to subvert and destroy.
But this is not, sir, the first time this
farce of disunion has been played. When
the Republican party sprung into being,
in 1856, to arreet the aggresnions of sla
very, to redress the wrongs of the people
of Kansas, the leading presses and politi
cians of the Democracy in the South then
predicted, argued, and threatened the dis
solution of the Union if Fremont should
bo elected. The success of this disunion
play in 1856, as well as their own "yaw
ning need" in 1860, may have prompted
the Democratic managers to put the old
farce upon the stage , in the imposing form
now witncsHcd.
Now, Mr. President, I intend to plaee
before the Senate, and, as far as I oan,
before tho patriotic, liberty-loving, and
Union-loving men of the free States, the
predictions of disunion, the arguments
for disunion, and the menaco of disu
nion made by so tno of tho presses
and some of the men to tbe interest!
of slavery presses that are tbe expo
nents of, and men who aro tbe ac
knowledged leaders of, tho seotionalized,
slave-extending Democracy. I want the
people of Massachusetts, and of the coun
try, to see that tho political eecossioniutH
and disunioniits arc tho trusted cxpononts
and the accepted leaders of the national
Democracy. I want the alarmed conser
vatives of the North, who hasten into U-nion-saving
meetings, to see and to ren'-
ize that tho men who arc now blurting
their disunion sentiments into the unwil
ling ear of a loyal people, are the leaders
of that party which they, by their shrin
king timidity, aro upholding in power. I
want tho deluded masses of tbe Northern!
Democraey to see the hypoorisy, tho ar-j
rant cowardice, of their leaders at homo,
who are fatiguing tho weary ear of the
country with their worn-out professions
of love and devotion to tho Union, while
they daro not rebuko the disloyal avowals
and menaces of the leaders they follow
with craven soil and fettered lip.
When, Mr. President, tbe Republican
party, summoned into being and into ac
tion, in 1856, by tbe aggressions of slave
ry, by tho crimes against the people of
Kansas, appealed, in tones as oarnest as
ever issued from human lips, to tbo A
merican people, to their sense of justice,
their love of liberty, their emotions of
humanity, and their sentiments, of patri
otism, to all that is higheet and noblest,
and holiest in human nature, to resoue the
Government to arreetslavery extension,
redress tbo wrongs of tbo people, and give
repose to the country, by restoring the
Government to the policy of Washington
and Jefferson, Demooratio presses and
Democratio leaders, whoso vital and ani
mating principle ia tho propagation and
expansion of human slavery on the North
American continent, raised tho startling
war-cry of disuoiou. Timid and selfish
conservatism which saw, unmoved, liber
ty cloven down in a distant Territory and
heard the i exploring appeals for protection
of free men, whoso sacked and burning
cabins illumed the uiidnight hkies, shrank
, , ' . . - ,. ..
leading member of the body which placed
him at the bead of the important Commit-
tCG 0D tll Judiciary, Said :
"When Fremont is eleoted, wo must
rel UP0D what e havne"a 8ood ,St?to
Itrovernment. Everv Governor of the
trovernment. Every Governor of the
South xhould call the Lcgislaturo of his
State together, and have measures of the
South decided upon. If they did not,
and submitted to the degradation, thoy
would desert e the fate of slaves. I would
advise my Legislature to go at the tap of
the drum."
Mr. Keitt, in a fiery and vement speech
o the people of Lynohburg, Virginia, ex
claimed, in view of the apprehended elec
. . ,!, lv
i"0"0 ?,r0moDt :
l ten you now, mat n Fremont is e
lectcd, adherence to tho Union is treason
to liberty. (Loud oheera.) I tell you
now, that the Southern man who will sub
mit to his election is a traitor and a cow
ard. (Enthusiastic cheers.)"
This speech, so contemptuous, so defi
ant towards the people of the North, no
jemphatio in its avowals of disunion, was
m-kj
DJ Joun B- Floyd, now Mr. Buohanan'a
Secretary of War a gentleman whom
the Boston Post, the loading Administra
tion organ in New England, in 1850 said,
"Henceforth he must be treated as a dis
unionirt, and the most dangerous of them
all." In the autumn of 1856, Mr. Brooks
from South Carolina, received from the
people of his district an ovation. Sena
tor Butler and the Senator from Georgia,
L'11' ncuu, au .vu.i uuum-
ern Democratic leaders sent applauding
letters to the assembled people of his dis-
! triot. Mr. Brooks Said :
"Wo have the issue upon us now; and j
how are wc to meet it! I tell you, fel- j
low-citizens, from the bottom of my heart,
that the ouly mode which I think availa
ble for meeting it is just to tear tbe Con- j
-titution of the United States, trample it j
under foot, and form a Southern Confed- j
eraoy, every atate or wnicn win oe a
elaveholding State. Loud and prolong
ed cheers.) I believe it, as I stand in
the face of my Maker; I believe it, on my
responsibility to you as your honored
Representative, that the only hope of the
South is in the South, aud the only avail
able means of making that hopo effective
in to cut asunder the bonds that tie us to
gether, and take our eeperate position in
tho faaiilv of nations These are my o-
pinions,
opinions,
the time
luey nave always oecn my
I have been a disunionist from
could think."
rm
These emphatic avowals of disunion
wore applauded by the people who had,
by a unanmous vote, sustained his action
and commissioned bim to speak for them
iu thi Capitol. Well might the Charles
ton Mercury declare, as it has, that
"Upon the policy of dissolving the U
nion, of seperating tho South from her
Northern enemies, and establishing a
Southern Confederacy, parties, presses,
politicians, and people, were a unit.
There is not a singlo public man in hor
limits not ono of ber present Represen
tatives or Senators in Congress who is
not pledged to the lips in favor of disu
nion. Indeed, we will remember that
one of tho most prominent leaders of the
co-operation party, when taunted with
submission, rebuked tbe thought by say
iug 'that, in opposing secession, ho only
took a step backward to strike a blow
more deadly against tbo Union."
Sir, tho erratic, aspiring, blustering
Wise, who "would introd.uoe slavery into
tho heart of tho North," who "would al
low slavery to pour itself out without re
straint, and find no limit but the South
ern Ocean, "-in the autumn of 1856 told
the people of Virginia that:
"The South could not, without degro-
dation, submit to the eleotion of a Black
Republican President. To tell mo we
should submit to the election of a Black
Republican, under ciroumstanoes liko
these, is to tell me that Virginia and tho
fourteen slave States aro already subju
gated and degraded."
He avowed hi readiness to put tbe
military forco of Virginia upon a war
fooling; and ho gave tho valorous assur
ance to his disunion associates that "tho
chivalry" of Virginia "would hew its
bright way through all opposing legions."
Rumor said, and I believe truly, that this
Democratio aspirant for the Presidency
held correspondence with Southern gov
ernors, to concert measures preparatory
to disunion; that he and bis disunion
compeers organized a plot to seize tho ar
senal at Harper's Ferry, and to take pos
session of tho navy yard at Norfolk, and
inaugurate rebellion, revolution, and dis-
union, in the event of Fremont's suc
cess.
Mr. Corry, of Ohio, reports Mr. Banks
of Virginia, as having said to hi to. a few
days after the election iu 1856, that:
"The South would have disj-olvcd the
Union if Freomont had been elected Prea -
i . r .i TT . i i ... i

ry; sets or accoutrements; that loo public j
mind was sufficiently excited to overcome,
an uomesiic resisianze, ana mat inoj
could whip the North in the fight."
Evidence of the disloyal, revolutiona
ry, and treasonable course of Henry A.
Wiso is also furnished by Charles J.
Faulkner, late Representative of the Har
per's Ferry District, Chairman of tho
Congressional Democratio Committee in'len partly under tho beast.
1855, and now Minister to France. At
a Democratic meeting, recently held iu
Virgiuia, over which Mr. Fuulkncr presi
ded, he said:
"When that noble and gallant fion of
Virginia, Henry A.Wise, declared, as
was said he did in October, 1856, that, u wertJ tahing a carnage rioe in one or the
Fremont should be elected, he icoidd seize principal streets in that city, when they
the National Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. chanced to meet a Judse Hill, who was
how few would at that time have justified ridinS leisurely along upon a favonfc
so bold and decided a measure! It is Jonkej. They at once acco.ted him,
the fortune of some great and gifted atld requested him to unite them in tho
minds to see far in advance of their co- ho!J bonds of wedlock. He acceded to
temporaries. Should William II. Sow- o proposition, and, without di.mounting,
ard bo elected in I860, where is the man performed the ceremony, making the oo
now in our midst who would not call for ! cuPaDts of lhe vehicle one, and having
the impeachment of a Governor of Vir-jfor witnesses the mule and two or three
ginia who would silently suffer that ar
mory to pass under the control of such
an executive head!"
This "noble and gallant son of Virgin
ia," who, in 1656, "saw far in advance
of his cotemporaries," who was readv, if
Fremont had been eleoted, "to seize the
. . tt i ..
Arsenal at Harpers herry," is now look-.,

fiSHere is something about fura which
will interest our lady roaders: "A few
days more, and furs will bo superfluous.
Then comes tho process of soputtiog them
away that moths shall not invado them.
Tho same thing is necessary to protect
woolens, the moth being no respecter of
anything in the line. Tho best way to
insure immunity from destruction is to
pack all in a trunk or box lined with
brown bolland, first sprinkling thorn lib
erally with black pepper. This is better
even than camphor, for dealers in furs
aro often victimized by etomological
pests, though their goods be saturated;
with this powerful odor. Before packing
away furfv they should be well beaten, to;

scrupulous care, may be deposited in thcrs.
