The Real Disunionists.
The Constitution guarantees to the citi
zens of every State the full protection of
personal liberty and property in all the
States. The citizens of each State have
the right to pass into, through, transact
business in, all the others. The freedom
of speech, the freedom of the press, and
the freedom of religion are rights guaran
teed to all alike, and without which there
can be no real liberty. The real disunion
ists and nullifiers are those who impose
restrictions upon the free passage of citi
zens from one State to another, who im
prison free seamen who enter their ports;
who threaten, tar and feather, hang, burn,
and otherwise ill-treat gentlemen for the
mere expression of opinion; who break
open the mail bags of the United States
and open private letters; who destroy
newspapers, and make it a penal offence
to circulate them ; who hang a minister of
the Goapel for the mere possession of a
letter, of which he was robbed for the
purpose of destroying him ; who drive
away a poor printer for expressing a po
litical opinion; who drive back and refuse
the privilege of work to mechanics and
laborers from other States; and who thus
deny the liberty of speech, the press, and
religion. Democratic paters, North and
South, have boasted, and gloried in the
infamous boast, that Abraham Lincoln,
the President elect, could not safely travel
through one half of the Union, making a
merit of what it should be a shame to as
sort.
The Constitution of the United
States is practically annulled in every
State where any citizen of the United
States cannot freely speak his opinions,
and transact any respectable business.
The Constitution of the Union is a charter
of liberty, and its framers would not allow
it to be stained with the name of slave.
The Constitution does not recognize slaves
as property—but the Constitution, the
laws of Congress, and the Courts, recog
nize only persons owing service or labor.
And there is no Northern State that has
by law forbidden the United States Courts
and officers to arrest and return persons
owing serviae to_those_to_ whom_anah ae.r.
vice or, labor is proved to be due. No
penalty is imposed by the laws of any
Northern State upon any citizen or.official
who aids and assists the officers of the
United States in the discharge of this duty.
Whoever asserts the contrary is guilty of
ignorance or falsehood.
Letter from John Bell.
This distinguished Southerner has writ
ten and published a letter on the present
state of affairs. Ile thinks there is no
sufficient cause in the fact of Mr. Lincoln's
election, taken in connection with ail the
circumstances, which would justify the
attempt at secession and disruption of the
Union :—that the opinions of Mr. Lincoln
on the subject of slavery are nog "extreme;"
and that the policy of his administration
will be in accordance with his past decla
rations. This letter cannot fail to have
the most desirable efiect upon the country.
The whole Southern country will heed
these words of a just and patriotic citizen,
Southern in every antecedent and feeling,
whose advice and counsel, based on a
large experience and long acquaintance
with public affairs, cannot be prompted by
any other than the most disinterested mo
tives. And surely those who voted for
Mr. Be the late canvass, will hearken
to the voice of their leader and candidate.
OUTRAGES. - Letters received from
New Orleans say that a self constituted
vigilance committee there are driving out,
with every circumstance of insult and hate,
everybody who bails from a free State,
and who does not fall in with the views of
the most extreme men of that city. In
fact we may add that in all our experience
of newspapers, we have never seen such
reports of constant and unprovoked wrongs
upon men innocent of any crime but that
of being born in a State where men and
women are not sold as goods and chattles.
Yet no voice is raised among all the mil
lions of the free States demanding a guar
antee of the enjoyment of our rights nn.
der the Constitution. All the demands
are on. the other side ; new guarantees are
demanded by these very men who respect
none of our rights, that they may con
tinue to shoot, tar and exile peaceable
men from the North whose business or
pleasure may call theme to the slavehold
ing States.

of Newark, N. J., died on Monday,

FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL
Correspondence of the Telegraph.)
WASHINGTON, Dec 12, 1860
There is no doubt whatever, that any ptopo
sition or effort of the committee of one from
each State, lately appointed by the Speaker of
the House, to settle the existing difficulties be
tween sections of this country, will be a failure.
The object of the mover of that committee
was laudable, but his patrictic design will be
frustrated by those in the South who are re
solved on secession at all hazards, and those in
the North who are determined to embarrass the
the incoming administration of Abraham Lin
coln. As I wrote to you in a former letter, the
leaders of Southern factions have nothing to
vindicate beyond the vindication of their reso
lution for mischief. It is argued now that if
South Carolina does not go out of the Union,
she will lose her prestige for fortitude and de
termination, and therefore the ultimatum is
presented in the demand on the northern peo
ple to disband their Republican organization,
agree to such amendments of the Constitution
as will increase the slavery pro rata representa
tion of from three to five to two to three—thus,
instead of counting three in the population of
every Southern Congressional district for every
five slaves owned and at labor in such districts,
count two for every three. By such en amend
ment of the Constitution, the South could keep
pace with the growing strength, increasing
population and immense development of the
people of the northern States. Without it the
people of the southern States are bound to
retrogado in the scale of political progress by
becoming inferiors in the Government. This
question is well understood by southern politi
cians. They cannot close their eyes to the facts
presented by the i epoets of the last census, and
hence they have entered on the present agita
tion and thrgatening demands, with no real
idea of carrying them into practical operation,
but with the hope of intimidating the North
into another of those compromises and con
cessions by which the interests of free white
labor will be impaired and restricted, in
order to increase the powers and limits of
the institution of slavery. The other propo
sition, viz : To disband the Republican organizaiun,
is worthy of the occasion and the crisis. The
fact that the Republican party of the country
is composed of the mechanics and laboring
men of the land, does not agree with a slave
holder's idea of either government or propri
ety. They therefore describe the Republican
organization as sectional, and demand its dis
bandment. If it is not disbanded they are de
termined to dissolve this Union; and, as they
are struggling to do in South Carolina, estab
lish a military dictatorship or an absolute mon
archy in its stead. To the mass of Northern
men, these facts are new, simply because the
Northern press does not advert to them as Of
any importance; and when the Northern peo
ple begin to understand the estimation in which
free white labor is held by the slave holding
interest at the South, they will not look on a
separation from such associates with the horror
in whichlf—ia clertietod emno of '-thy Alcre6ll.-.
faces in their midst.
Poor Mr. Buchanan is now the most misera
ble man in the world. His friends are desert
ing him in all quarters—his Secretaries are
leaving him to grapple alone with the crisis
which he aesisted in creating—his antecedents
are being marshaled against his present posi
tion, and the comparison leaves him in a most
pitiful plight, truly. You will remember that
while representing this country in England,
some five years ago, he and Messrs. Mason and
Soule, then ministers to France and Spain re
spectively, met for conference in one of those
cosy villages on the continent of Europe where
wine is cheap and viands plenty. At that
conference Mr. Buchanan was desirous of pur
chasing Cuba from Spain, and paying the sum
of $200,000,000 for the island. It is now ask
ed, in the face of the doctrines of the message,
what Mr. Buchanan would do with Cuba, pro
vided she was in the Union, the $200,000,000
baying been paid for the island, and the peo
ple of Cuba desiring to secede: Who would
pay back the money in the event of such a
purchase, and the carrying out of the doc
trines of the message ? But on this, as on all
other questions, the President clearly evinces
a disposition to increase the crisis, and lead
the country to the ruin in which be seems
alone to glory.
Sensible men here from all sections agree
that the present Congress can do nothing to
settle questions now at issue. It is suggested
that after passing thd usual appropriation bills,
Congress adjourn sine die, thus throwing the
responsibility of a settlement on the ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln. As long as
James Buchanan wields power, it is certain that
there can be no peace or settlement of any fair
questions ; therefore it is urged that Congress
should adjourn, and leave the administration
powerless for the balance of its useless term,
and thus rescue the country from its machina
tions. INQUIRER,
A ROMANTIC TRIO OF BEAUTIFUL SISTERS.-FAST
WOMEN AS SUCCESSFUL GAIINSTZES AND RUSSIAN
PRINCESSES. —Three sisters, all fast, recently set
up a gambling house in St. Petersburg, Russia,
and being pretty and clever, amassed much
money and married men of position. Growing
weary, and having obtained all they desired of
their connubial partners by the matrimonial re
lation, they contrived by secret charges against
their liege lords to make it appear that they
were plotting against the Czar. The husbands
were sent to Siberia, and their wives managed
to secure a good portion of their estates. They
then went to London, assuming to be Russian
princesses, and are now there, intriguing iu
politics, and making a sensation by their beau
ty and their admirable coquetry. They gamble
extensively, and win fabulous sums of gallant
gentlemen in high position, who become fasci
nated by their charms. What will be the end
of the glittering career of these Circean sisters,
the correspondent who relates the above does
not prophesy.
LET LOUISIANA LOOK OUT FOR HER SUGAR.-A
compiled statement by Mr. It. Champonier of
the sugar crop of Louisiana, shows "that the
total product of that State, from 1884 to 1858
inclusive, a period of twenty-five years, was
4,014,709 hogsheads, valued at $248,189,260;
and that of this quantity the Atlantic ports
took 1,485,653 hogsheads, and the Western
States 2,314,454 'hogsheads." It should-be re
membered that the sugar crop of Louisiana is
fully protected by a dusy on foreign sugars of
twenty-four ptr cent., and should she secede
her great crop woul be brought into direct
competition with the sugar crop of the West
India islands, with which she has never yet
been able to compete without such protection.
Under such circumstances, can she afford to sa
crifice by secession such great and important
interests, and lay her plantations waste at the
"beck and bid" of South Carolina?

I thought I was dreaming. Quite wild with surprise
For an instant ! closed both my mouth and my eyes
The former, lest speaking the spell I might break,
The latter to p7ove I was really awake.
Above me, beside me, before me, around,
Was scattered the semblance of all that's been found
Remarkable, beautiful, laughable, gay,
Since the world was created, e'en down to today.
Each object was fraught with most wonderful grace,
And look where I would, naught but beauty I'd face.
The mitt of bewilderment passing away,
I noticed a camel hitched fast to a dray,
Who quietly pulling his burden along,
Preceded a queer but magnificent throng
Of poets, and princes, musicians and nuns,
Corsieted knights, and soldiers with guns,
Shepherds and students, peasants and kings,
Women in wocden shoes, ladies 'with wings,
All on a pilgrimage, bound for a shrine
Called—Please guess its name, for their secret's not
mine.
In a grove in their rear an elephantgrazed,
While lons and tigers looked on quite amazed
At an ox, who declared—the benevolent beast—
He was fattening himself for a Christmas feast.
Some reindeers from Lapland, some birds from Brasil,
Each holding a diamond, or pearl in its bill;
Arabian horses, and stately giraffes,
A grum looking bear, which actually laughs,
Alligators from Egypt, and hogs from Japan,
A monkey which danced quite as well as a roan,
American sheep whose musical bass
Were accompanied by donkey's more musical brays,
All peacefully shared the delights of that grove,
And seemed ruled by no power stronger than love.
A few steps beyond was assembled a group
Of Chinamen dining on rich kitten soup.
While Japanese Tommy, the witty young noodle,
Regaled them with snatches from old. Yankee Doodle.
A venerable schoolmaster sat in a corner,
His name I believe was Afralteer Dinglestioner,
Teaching twenty-four urchins, asnuar him they stood,
Their ah, bay, tray lesson. The sight did me good.
Behind him an arsenal cooly revealed
Its treasures of cannon. swords, lances and silde'd,
But each from its duty had found a release,
For the motto that ruled, was "In Union there's peace."
Garibaldi played checkers with kings in disguise,
John Brown promenaded with Henry A. Wise,
And Blue Beard who killed his inquisitive wives
Was giving Paul Pry an account or their lives.
Uncle Tom and his Cabin was there In great state
Surrounded by friends, both the small and the great.
Jolla Gilpin was taking his unlucky ride,
While honest Ben Franklin jogged on by his side.
S me horrid old ogres I saw with surprise,
Booked dear little babies ; while fairies with eyes
Bright as candles, and dresses of snowiest white
Looked on with expression of purest delight.
Swiss cottages, sheepfolds, villages, towns,
Doue-atesesia ussuus. dnaase,, old -witches ana clowns,
Lord Chesterfield changed to a smart sepia Jack,
Whiskerandoes who spring at a touch from a sack,
Victoria's bed with Its rich silken fuels,
And sweetmeats to heal the most obstinate oolds ;
The loveliest bon boas for Christmas trees,
innumerable puzzles one's patience to tease.
My brains must be swept with a magical broom
E'er I tell all I saw in this wonderful room ;
At length glancing upward, In I who did. I see
But old Santa Claus looking down upon me.
The darling old gentleman looks as of yore,
He makes his head qdarters at FELIX.. 2 store;
And all that Is comical, excellent, rare,
You'll find at his rooms—No. 10 Market Square.
