Who. tail the Dliorganisers.
We' ape constantly hearing the charge, that
the' Rapti:di* party is constantly forcing
upon the attention of the country the vexed
queetion of slavery: Nothing can be more
wide of the truth: The blame of the agita
tion of this subject rests solely upon the Dem
militia party. The Republimus party is but
actin mithe'defensiiv. Who are the agita
tors,,Tresent-' Congress .? Democratic
hiders. On the very first day; of the session
ef:the , Senate, &hater Mason of. Virginia
giros tiotiee of his intention to offer a resolu-
Igloo, inquiring, as to the cause of the liar
per'slerry outbreak, the persons furnishing
mewls to the insurgents, in order to ascertain
If 1 *dual legielation and interference be ne
.coessay in: order to the protection of the insti
tution of
_slavery. The undoubted purpose of
the resol ution is to endeavor to implicate• in
the insurrection not Abolitionists, but the
satire Republican party as responsible for
Jan Brown's nibmibings. Of course the
sitesipt must fail. The investigation can dis
close no now facts, can result in no prao
tibia good, and can only be' the cause of
sectional strife. And yet more than a
Week has already been spent in the discus-
Istihe House, where the necessities of
the country demand a speedy organisation,

THE TARIFF.
Hon. •R. Joy Morrie, elected from one of the
Oaugressional Districts of Philadelphia, and
who has not heretofore been identified with
the Republicans, voted on the first ballot for
Stiernian of Ohio for Speaker, and in the
*curse of some excellent remarks made last
week, stated that he would vote for Sherman,
because he was satisfied, that Sherman if
*teas& Speaker, would so frame the Commit
tees, that the tariff question would be rightly
eared for. So that it would seem, that lade=
pedant WIZ men regard the • Republican
petty
as more favorable to a protective tariff

There Seems ico' be abroad in the land a pre
sailing-oi, premien that thlsce,is imminent dan
ger of a dissolution of the Union. Why
should , such a''Sear be!entirkined What,
reasons are there for ohm? If the danger in
**out, who ire the pararnur,!whOwillAllui
thr;inithdlvs in bringing abbut so dire a ca
'amity? • Such are question, which will nat.-
urally arise in the minds of :the thonghtftd,
and a proper answer to eseh r we are of opinion,
would serve much to,nllay ungrounded fears.
'Who threatens disiolntion ? In all thole.°
states, not a syllable of threat do we hear.—
The most violent extremists of the North, few
indeed in number, of the Garriconian School
of. 4bolitionists,, wlad; ,00ndemning.the eon
stitution;-.lmve not yet uttered a, word nor
taken A atop toward subveiting - the nate
ral Government. •Tbe utmost, that has. been
attempted, has been to run away fugitive
slaves, and this, however much in violation of
.
law, has and, can et be demi under the, exist
ing government. The people of the North,
however indignant at the
„mai-administration
of-the Government; have storeys submittled to
constitationil majorites. To this idea they
are intensely loyal. Never has there been a
threat,_ that if the candidate of their choice
Were not elevated •to some favorite position,
that there would be no submission. The peo
ple of tho Free States are pre-eminently law
abiding and Union-loving. Whence then
come these profaneutterances, like the croak=
ings of birds of evil omen, to disturb our peace?
From the people and the Legislatures of the
South, and from them alone. Perhaps we
would- more nearly express the truth, if we
mere to; say, that these threats of .disunion
come from the polificiems of - the South,-
Southern Conventioris ire held with this as
their avowed object. Southern Governors
,under certain contingencies recommend this
resort to the Legislatures of their respective
States. Prominent statesmen. in Congress
threaten a diisolution of the Union, if Repub
licans sleet a Speaker of the Lower House, or
a President. What is the essence of such
threats ? It is, that the South will not submit
to a Government constitutionally elected.—
The first lesson of a Republican Government
has not been learned, and under the laws of
the land, the man, who for such a reason
would undertake to execute such a threat,
would staid .a convicted traitor, and• would
merit the traitor's doom. We believe the
peace of the country would be more establish
ed, if some were to meet that doom. lather°
any pretense that the south now do not enjoy
all the rights,,,ehey have enjoyed under the
Government ffir the last seventy years? Slav:
cry is protected in the States by lawn the
most stringent, and the . 'North will not
prevent their vindication in behalf of any
man or set of men, who undertake their viola
tion. Such is the universally prevailing senti
ment of Northern Society, and the exceptions
are but as bubbles on the Ocean's billows.
But threats have beon made for years. Have
they been executed? Never. Is , there any
probability, that they will ever -be executed?
We believe not. An incident, worthy of note,
occurred in the present Congress, showing the
degree of weight to be attached to threats
such as those. Mr. Pryor in the halls of
Congress last week threatened that the South
would never permit a Republican Speaker, if
elected, to take hie seat. Mr. Nelson of Ten
nessee inquired, whether it would be prevented
by foroe. Mr. Pryor responded, that the
South would only interpose parlianientary ob
jections. And such, we believe to be the sum
and substance of all these Disunion threats.
Our attention has been called to this subject
by a notice of Union Meetings at Philadelphia
and:Boston lately held, and a call for one in the
city of New York. Why the necessity of
meetings north to show, that we are in favor
of the Union, Whoever'from this section of
the country spoke in favor of disunion ? We
have watched narrowly ,
: the_ proceedings of
these meetings, and are satisfied that the whole
movement is sachems of Democratic politicians
to re-instate in power the Democratic party
in the North. The Speakers and resolutions
dare not openly denounce the Republican
party as disunionist in tefftlencies, because then
the monster would show its cloven foot. Ex
amine fora moment the following language
used by lion. Caleb Cunning, late. Secretary
of War, at a Union meeting held recently at
Boston : •
"Gentlemen, I speak here for no party. I
have my own party proclivities, strong enough,
as you all know. Bat I speak for no party
now. I speak for the Union, and I would that
the 250,000 registered voters who do not vote,
but leave the destinies of the country to a mi
nority of fifteen thousand, would now arise
and att. If you do not like the opinions of
either of the parties that are now dividing the
country, arise in your majesty and strength,
and smash thorn all. (Loud applause.")
lies the Democratic party been vanquished
in its contest with the young giant of Repub
licanism ? Must there be a new shuffle of the
cards? Must the party assume a new name,
that of the Union party, in order to be success
ful? Such would seem to be the programme.
But it is only the old enemy under a new
guise. ThaDemocratio party pretended to be
the great Union caving party in 1856, and the
sequel has beeri an administration unequalled ,
in our annals in the bitterness of sectioned
feeling, engendered by its acts. The N. Y.
Herald troposes Fernaado Wood, the,lately
elected Mayor of New• York City, a living ern
bodinjent of political and official corruption,
as the President of the Union Meeting of New
l
York City. Are honest, Union-loving Re
publicans of the . Free States, to be insulted
and •taunted by suspicions of disunion sea
timents, as if the corrupt loaders of the Dem
ocratic party alone could save this glorious
Union ? If this Union is to be severed into dis
cordant sections, the Democratic party will be
the cause of the downfall. The triumph of
the RepUblican party, now shortly at hand,
will avert so fearful a calamity.

STAIR or ORIO, EXIICIITIVI DXPARTIIRRT,
,COLIIIIIII7II, Dec. 1, 1859.
SIR : Your letter of the 23d ultimo. post
marked 26th, together with a copy of one of
the same date addressed by you to the Presi ,
dent, were received yesterday. No intelli- !
genee other than that contained in these let
ters has reached me of any such preparations
as are described in them, and the letters them
selves convey no such information in, respect
to place or persons as is necessary to enable
the authorities of the State, in-the absence of
other intelligence, to interpose with any cer
tainty or, effect. Wheneverit shall be_ made
to appear, either by evidence transmitted by
you or otherviise, that unlawful eombinationa
are being formed by any persons or at any
place in Ohio, for the invasion of Virginia, or
for the commission of crimes against herpeo
ple it will undoubtedly become tho duty of
the Executive to use whatever power he may
possess, to break up such combinations and
defeat their unlawfill purposes; and that du
ty, it need not be doubted, will be promptly
performed.
I observe with deep regret an intimation in
your letter that necessity may compel the an
thorities of Virginia. to pursue invaders of her
jurisdiction into the territories of the adjoining
States. It is to be hoped that no circumstan
ces will rise, creating, in their opinion, such
a necessity. Laws of the United States, as
well ae the laws of Ohio, indicate the mode in
which penions charged with.crime in another
State and escaping into Ohio, may be demand
ed and must be surrendered; and the people
of this State will require from her -authorities
the punctual fulfilment of every obligation to
the other members of the Union. They can
not consent, however, to the hives . ion of her
territory by armed bodies from other States,
even for the purpose of pursuing and arrest
ing fugitives from justice.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
yours, S. P. CHASE.

UNION Mass MEETING IN PRILADLILPHIA..—
A grand Union Mass Meeting of citizens, ir
respective of party, was ,held.on Wednesday
night in Jayne's Hall,. Philadelphia,--;the ob
ject.being to reaffirm:allegiance to the Union
and Constitution, and to condemn all fanticism.
Hon. Joseph R. IngersolLpresided. A series
of resolutions, reported by Hon. Wm. B. Reed,
were adopted, expressing earnest - sympathy
with their fallen% citizens of Virginia, declar
ing that no laws were more obligatory on the
citizens of the Republic than those prescribing
the duty of restoring fugitives from labor, dis
avowing any wish or right to interfere with
' the domestic institutions of the sister States,
and reprobating in the strongest terms all at
tempts to excite servile insurrection, or to
arouse those who are lawfully held in servi
tude, to violence or bloodshed. Also approv
ing of the recent administration of justice in
Virginia. and the energy and fidelity of Gov
ernor Wise, and of the conduct of the Gover
nor of Pennsylvania in promptly surrendering
the fugitives from justice. Finally thehs
sure their brethren of the South that there ex
ists among the people of Pennsylvania a de
termined spirit to assert and maintain the Con
stitution, and the rights of States under it
and. asking in return their oonflience, and that
dignified moderation which confidence and
patriotic sympathy inspire. The meeting was
eloquently addressed - by Messrs. Jos. R. In-'
gersoli, Edward King, Josiah Randall,. Isaac
Hazlehurst, Robert Tyler, IL H. Brewster, Eli
