Along its front no sabres shine, No blood-red pennons ware; Its banner bean the signal line, "Our duty is to lave."

CALEB CrBllllqo, in New York, OR the • Fifth of July, 1858. I do, indeed, sometimes hear men talk of the dissolution of the Union. Such persons, it is true, do exist among us; denationalized women, unhappy_ that they are not men; denationalized men, unworthy even to be women. They, also, will assemble somewhere to-day, not as Americans, but as libellers . and vituperators of Americans — to desecrate some venerable church, or defile some sylvan shade—to say how much they love all black men, and how much they detest all white ones—and in the pro faned name of Liberty to proclaim their unappeasable enmity to the Union, to the Constittition, to the Bible, and to their Country. Well, be i6-so. What, are there not Americans enough in heart as well as in name, to preserve the integrity of the Union in spite of all these ravings of un loosed Bedlam? Aye, ten, twenty, thirty millions of such devoted Amen cans, devoted to the Union, and who, if need were, could and would, occasion requiring, devour and swallow up this handful of iCegroplailist Union haters, as the boiling whirlpool of Niagara overwhelms the slight skiff of some in toxicated Indian. Yes, we are strong enough in the light of our freedom and in the vigor of our country to tolerate and to pity all such impotent foes of the Union. I say to tolerate and pity them; for when I witness their ebuli tions of wild wrath, as they speak of the American Union, I become sure that their souls are writhing with dis tracted and " troubled thoughts " of the fallen spirit. Each one of them, as he gazes at the day afar of the Union, seems with desperate passion to say "O thou, that with surpassing glory crowned, Look'st from thy sole dominion like the God Of this New World—to thee I call, But with no friendly voice, and add thy name, 0 sun, to tell thee how I ha* thy beams. Is it not so ? Is not that a true pic ture ? Well, let them hate and rave.— They are, indeed, to us in the North, where they hold their annual conven tion orgies, the drunken Helots of the commonwealth—usefial to show forth the ugliness of infidelity and of treason, for the edification and admonition of the ingenuous youth of our Lacedsemon North. Dissolution of the Union by tuch in fluences ? I scorn the very idea. It is equally absurd in the mouths of those who threaten it as the means of aggrios sion, of the North or South, and of those who threaten it for defence of the South against the contingent aggres sions of the North. But then, it is said, if such men do not imperil our institutions, yet others of larger aims and of disoreeter factious ness, who use them to disturb the pop ular mind, do ; others, who talk of Free dom when they mean power; who cla mor continually of the imputed en croachments of the South on the North; who organise and uphold sectional par ty combinations, and whose avowed ob jects are the establishment of a sectional administration of the Constitution. Well, these I admit are dangerous men, who, not by their own strength, but by the dissensions of the tree friends of the Constitution, have attained too much influence in the Worth. They are dangerous because they have no Axed prWciplei, no stable con no _samples ot dottrieteney to . their acts, became tbeir eisty-ieresd° is Atmoaatir, ftwo and tantilt) Mourn#l. GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, AUG. 2, 1858. what has been called the duty of suc cess ; the stictessfu! accomplishment of a sectional organization of the govern ment on the ruins of its nationality, would be the de facto dissolution of the Union. Their incessant cry is of' the " slave power." If, perchance, new realms are to be added 53 the magnificent domain of the Union, though saeh addition be for the desire and superior benefit of the population and commerce of the North, they cry out on the slave power. If the revenue of the Union is to be modi fied, though it be done with their own heads, and for the advantage of the N• h, again they cry out on the slave • er. If new territorial governments the Union are to be organized in the " eat, though such organization be in • interests and to the gain of the h, still thew cry out on the slave power. If the dignity and honor of the Union are to be vindicated by war, though the grievances to be redressed, and the securities to be conferred, are at the North, always they cry out on the slave power. Shame on the parrot cry I Never, in the worst days of the worst factions of Greece or home, of England or France, was there a more gross effort to inflame the popular pas sions by false appeals to prejudices— never a more wanton abuse of the free dom of republican speech—never a more abominable attempt to gratify personal ambition at the expense of a country's welfare and peace. Slave-power It is the cry of " stop thief" on the part of the burglar fleeing from the pursuit of the officers of justice. We at the North have been addicted, more or less for the space of some twenty years, to persistent attacks on the constitutional rights of the South. Busy mischief-makers, the " cankers of a calm world's peace," have set up newspapers, formed societies, thrust themselves on the public attention. sub scribed agitation funds, perverted legis lation in the several States, and usurp ed, as far as they might, the voice of Congress in 'order, if possible, to im pose their opinions and their intruded authority on the sister States ; laboring to destroy their property, and to ex clude them from their common share of the inherit ar.ce. and of the public rights of tke Union. These acts ofaggression on the part of some Northern States as against these of the South have been porpetratied under the shelter of our common governmor.t,when there would hare been jut cause of war as between foreign governments ; and occasionally reach to 8%4 a point that some Suites and statesmen of"the North, in the ex tremity of their blind teal, apply to their fellow Elamite of the South lan guage of political and - personal denun ciation fit only for the case of declared national enemies. And then, if goaded by the sense of wrong, a State or a statesman of the South recurs to defen sive words or acts, there is another out cry of the Slave power. Meantime, all these aggressive acts at the North are undertaken, we are continually told, in . order to repel the aggression and over throw the domination of the slave power? Does the South dominate over the Union ? That is the suggestion. It is a matter, in which I myself,.% man of the North, have for ono reason or another, felt a little interested, and which, as a matter of philosophical study well adapted to an hour of rural idleness, under the shade of green trees, and with the melodies of the many voiced sea to lull me into the mood to tranquil contemplation, I have under taken to investigate. My friends, you know we naturally, almost necessarily, regard things from our own stand-point, at least in the first instance. I, therefore, in reflecting on the present question, began in this way, that is from the point of view of I my own State of Massachusetts. It rather seemed to me, en looking back, that Maasschusette bad had a pretty ; fair run of the power of this Union.— Two Presidents, two Vice Presidents, place on the bench of the Supreme Court for sixty-six out of sixty-nine years of the Federal Government, a seat in the Cabinet for sixty-seven of the sixty-nine years ; Secretaries of State, of Treasury, of War, of Navy, of Justice, most of them again and again, and one or another almost always ; em bassies without number, and a half mo nopoly of She most important one, that of St. James; and a potential voice al ways in the councils of the Government and of the people—a voice, which, when it did not rule by authority, of office, yet governed by the higher authority of genius, of virtue, of eloquence, and which never spoke but to penetrate as with an electric flash, to the uttermost bounds of the wide Union. Is it not so? When was the • day, that an Adams, an Ames, a• 4„,,, • Adams, a 'Webster, an Everett, tlr• did not live to maintain by vo . and pen, by opinion and act, the due ponderance of Massachusetts in the conduct of the public stairs of the United States ? When was there a day that Massachu setts did not from the exuberance of her political wealth, furnish a King, a Marcy, or a Bancroft, to be accepted and honored even here in the Empire State of New •York? And yet, in the face of all this, and with some personal reuninisoenoes of my own to aid me to the conclusion, that Xtumichnsetts men are pane to e, I will not say domineering, bat dominant enough, ebbs, in Con. ror is the Cabinet, I am to be told i s es t the South dominate. over the 1 4 kirth. And New York, the empire State of the Union, what is her testimony in this present iasaaof alba allogid-domiaa- Wm tithe South over the North t. 4— Win Brie-- Handlties, the the Liviagatosik **Bak% std tlbe int' "THLTH IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PREVAIL." of the earlier days of the Republic, mon without wills of their own ? Were the Clinton's, the Tompkins, the Yat Bu rens, the Wrights and the Marcys of a later day? Why, who does not know, what schoolboy of the first form is there so ignorant as not to have hoard, not only . that those men of New York ruled in their time and turn, in the high places of the Union, and ruled by the intellectual right divine stamped on their immortal brows, and ruled as men of the North, in their proper persons— not only this, but that history is now preoccupied with the question, whether they did not alsoin fact rule, when the titular places of power were held by the South. The South dominate over the North, with New York in it, and holding, by her population, her wealth and her pourer, the hegemony of the North ! New York, who assumes in the scroll of her arms that she is ever to be upper most, just as Charles of Spain inscribed " Farther yet" on the pillars of Her cules ! Oh, most absurd , - most prepos terouk most ridiculous of all the foolish imaginations which ever enteted into the head of wayward men. Why, the South, like the North, struggles and struggles in vain to escape from the au thonty, and to shake off the ascendancy of New York. But, some simple hearted person may say, is there nothing in this cryof slave power? Is it mere faction and false hood from beginning to end? I think it is utterly destitete of any foundation in fact. I had long and diligently sought in the proper quarters, for its pretended' foundation, and it is but re cently chat I have discovered it, in a much applauded speech of one of the senators from the State of New York. That eminent person, if any one, may bo presumed to understand the subject, and he explains the mystery ofiniquity thus : It appears, that when the Con stitution was adopted, and for some time afterward, there was but one free labor State in the Union; all the rest were slave labor States. And so the slave power got the upper hard, and has held it "almost uninterruptedly" ever since, notwithstanling subsequent changes in the relative number of the free labor and slave States. That is, New York and Pennsylvania having been at the beginning slave holding States their power is slave pon er ! I bopo and trust that, in the lament able state of 'things. Now York will continue to govern herself in all ten dseness and meruy, and will, more ov,or, have a little consideration tci spare for the rest of the North, and es peelidly for Hassachtu4etts, who, as the only original non-slave-holding State, Is hopelessly dependent on the " slave power," and its representative, N.York. My friends, I pray' you not to laugh at these fallacies, ludicrous as they are, with which aspirirg men sock to moue rectionice the whole North by factious appeals to the falsely imputed domina tion of the South over the Union ; for the avowed object of such appeals to mere prejudice and passion is sufficient ly seriona; it is not merely to change the administrators of the government of the country, but also to change that policy of Democratic nationality which has prev ailed i for so many years, and has the efficacious instrument of the support and elevation of the Union. God forbid that this should be 1 The constitution wee inaugurated by the men who had made the Revolution.-- So long as their groat loader in peace and war, the typical man of the Revolu tion, Washington, lived, party divisions were of secondary account in the gov ernment of the United States. When he died—when the work of construct ing and setting in motion the machinery of the Union had been done—then the people of the United States began to discuss and to divide upon theories of administrative policy ; in other words, to form into political parties; and the history of the country exhibits the me morable fact that from that day to this. with brief and.. apparently but casual interruptions, one grand party has con trolled the administration of the gov ernment. It has been the fortune of that party to initiate all the great measures of ad ministratiqls, each one of which the adversary , arty opposed in their incep tion, to acquiesce in them afterward as fact, and to accept if not approve them as theory. I can remember but one great measure of policy, foreign or do mestic, which had any different origin. I mean the subsisting imperfect ar rangement of the common relations of Great Britain and the United States to Central America; and that has never been anything but a stumbling block and an offence in the path of thetnion. All the signal steps in the progress of the country, as the acquisition of Louis iana, Florida and California, the acces sion of Texas, the vindication of our rights on the side of Great Britain and Itexioo by the successful prosecution of war with eaz.h, the successive adjust ments of the financial system of the government, the determination of the Sroper relation of the Territories to the tates and the Union; all these are the work of the same Democratic and Na tional association of man and interests which still presides over and adminis tars the United States. All this, we are told, is to be changed, for the very reason that it is national ; for the reason that the time-honored theory of Administration refuses to be sectional—refuses to defer to the exi gencies of the North, so far as to disre gard the rigida of the illionth.. , --•refuse, in Its paternaijustios, to ass or know that there is a 'North or South, an Bast or West, and lobks only with isapartbd eye on the whole lindivided lror this the people otthi United Bodes are-to be penuded lowniostitabra tionaladminiatration----ipr, to speak more accurately, the people of the North are invited to make a second effort to im pose, by their sectional votes, such a sectional administration on the people of the United States. Can this be done 1' Will it be done ? Ido not believe it. I can see, on the one hand, a political association, which holds in its keeping the traditional pub lic policy of the country; which, at both ends of the eountry, North and South, courageously and conscsentioas iy assumes the burden of nationality, in defiance of local jealousies and proju dicies; which alone professes a Consti tutional political creed, and follows s Constitutional theory of action ; which calmly, but resolutely maintains our in ternational rights in all emergencies; which is Constitutionally conservative —because it is Democratic in principle, and thus conciliates together the rights cf the States and the rights of tho uni versal people. I see, on the other hand, a political association, which is not indeed, an association, but_a loose conglomerate only of the fragments broken off from other associations, which Las no definite platform of doc triou and floats at random on the tide of public policy, in the hope of picking up some chance helmsman, it knows not where, who may In ing it into port, which lives only by hateful vituperation of the South, which is the refuge and roceptaclo of all the crochety isms of the day.

Can those eminent men, who, on the dissolution of previous po litical associations, have improvidently allowed themselves to drift up into that limbo, govern and guide them hetero geneous, incongruous and impracticable companions to any useful purpose, eith er in attainment pr the exercise of power? I doubt. They mar do it, I admit, in single States. I deny that they can do it, on the broad Gild of the Union. Going to "Spread Smelt" As a newly-married couple, evidently from ,the country, were promenading Montgomery street, last evening, their enriodity was suddenly aroused, by the appearance of some mysterious looking articles dangling , . from a shop window.

" Thom's 'em, is they ?" and he ran his eyes about the strange apparel. • " I think they are so sweet I" ventur ed Sal, when at the same moment, a la dy dressed in the height and breadth of the fashion, brushed along. Take had seen enough, Sal must have a "krineline." Without saying a word, he started to enter the store, but 'was stopped at. the door by her,with all sorts of entreaties not to carry the joke Any farther. But Jake was determined.— He had taken a fancy to the goods, and could not rest until his better half was supplied with them. She drew back, but it was of no avail.

Ethan Spiko, of Hernby, Maine, thus narrates in a letter to a Portiand'paper how his servisca were refused on a jury, after being summoned on a mur der trial, just because he was "in favor of banging a nigger anyhow," and his sacred person was afterwards " snaked out" by two constables : Did you ever get drawed into a jury? I was drawed eout of the box last fall, and sworn to support the constitootion according to the statoote. Beyond a general idea that a jowrymen was bound to go for the country, right or wi-ong—which country they is—l know ed eenjist nothing of the supernocenery dewties pertsiinin to such elunkslion nries. Wall—fust thing I knowed, I was summoned to Portland to try a Jarmin and a nigger for killing Mr. Albon Coop er on the high sees. I never could nee why the term "high see" was used in Rich case. I sposo it means floodtide, and I know that pork killed at one time of the tide haint the same no when killed at another time of the tide—like wise beans pulled on a full moon don't bile so well as when the moon is gibber. inhed (Ile means gibbous;) but if a fel ler mortal critter is slowed at high wa ter or low, its murder any way.— Timms my ideas of the law on that pint.

" Mr. Spike," said the clerk, " have you any conscientious scruples agin banging?" said he. . " Wall," said I, "that depends on sareumstances.
