Events arc more powerful thent vc are. We'must sooner or later, yield our place to the more prudent, the less embarrassed, and the more vigorous cffs hoots of our race, nm& consent to occupy the easy chair of our senility, rsor is there anything to re gret in this. The civilization that is remo ved is not destroyed; nni the genius of our people can exert itself as well on the bor ders of the Ohio as 0:1 the banks of the Thames, and rule the world with as much propriety from the White House as from the palace of St. James. Europe has enjoyed power and has alused it, and the iC-ptre of the word's dominion is passing from her grasp. . Civilization, as of old, is following the course of the sun, and the doctrines of humanity will work them selves out in a new field, and on a larger Fiom the St. Loui$ Intelligencer. The West lis Position on the Question of - Disunion. . We, at one time, hoped that the discus sion of the question, whether or not it would be wise and politic to dissolve the Union, would not be tolerated in any part of the confederacy. In our simplicity, we suposed that the Union was, on all hands, to be forever conceded to be, not only the surest guaranty of our national prosperity, but that it was in fact apolitical necessity without which we could scarcely exist as a nation. These however, it seems, were but the flattering dreams of a distempered fancy. We have lived to see the day, when the value of the Union is not only discussed in newspapers, and debated m private circles, but when it is the subject of grave deliberation with some, and of angry debate and violent denunciation with others of our statesmen in the halls of Congress. The srbject has now as sumed a form so grave, as to demand the attention of every citizen who loves his country. We need not refer to the moving cause of this unfortunate movement. It is sufii ciont to say, that on the subject of negro slavery the North and the South do not agree; ard many politicians, both at the North and the South, seem to regard this disagreement as a sufficient reason for dis solving the Union. Thus a northern par ty and a southern party have grown up, maintaining diametrically opposite opin ions'on the question of slavery. So fierce has the conflict of opinion now become stimulated as it has been by fanatical and inflamatory appeals on both sides, that all questions of public interest are now, in a great degree, merged into this one exciting and angry contest. Heretofore the West ernStates, (by which we mean Ohio, Ken tucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Mis souri, Iowa, and Wisconsin ) and some of the Southern States, for example, North Carolina, Louisiana and Virginia, have ta ken no very active or decided part in this contest. But if we must have parties, sj designated by geographical limits, it is time for the 'Great West'to decide wheth er she will join the North in forcing upon the South certain abstractions, such as the Wilmot Proviso, which are ot no practical value, even though they were conceded to be right in principle, or whether she will join the South in resisting these abstrac tions, with force of arms, and even to the sheddingof fraternal blood. For ourselves . we think the West should do neither the one or the other. If we must have "sec lional parties, let us have a JFestern party squally exempt from the fanaticism of the North and the violence of the South, devo ted, not to the propagation of mere abstrac- ' tions, but to the preservation of the Union in all its integrity. In our judgment, the time has arrived when the West should make itself heard and felt upon this sub ject. She should say to the North I "You may entertain whatever opinions you see fit, upon the subject of slavery in the abstract, but we, not only will not join you in any crusade against Southern rights or Southern prejudices, if you choose to term them such, but we are resolved to save you from the consequences of your own folly; the Union must and shall be preservd. It is our property as much as yours it is a common fund belonging to us all, bequeathed to us as a common inhe ritance from a glorious ancestry. It is too precious a. treasure to be wasted in idle disputes, or fritted away in unmeaning discord. We, at least, cannot afford to dissolve the Union, and shall "not permit you to do it. . She should say to the South "Howev er justly you may complain of the North, we are well assured the grievances you have suffered 01 are likely to suffer, require no such desperate remedy as disunion, a remedy far worse than the disease. At all events we will not aid you in resorting to so fatal a poison as a cure'for the malady. If you are resolved to become a felo de se we, at least, will not be accessory to the crime. The great outlets to our trade, are through your territories. We cannot con sent therefore, that you shall become aliens to us in feeling or in fact. So far from aiding you in your crusade against the Union, we shall take especial pains to check "your fiery ardour, to curb your impetuous temper, to reduce your indig natiou within reasonable bounds. We shall scrupulously endeavor to prevent the North from infringing on your rights; but we do not intend that you shall dissolve the Union." Let the West speak this language with one voice, let leading western statesmen, whether they be whigs or democrats, pro claim it on the floor, of Congress, let the nation from Maine to Florida, distinctly understand that the West in its whole length and breadth, is resolved o stand by nd defend the Union against all assailants whether from the North or South, and we think its effects upon Northernfanaticism j and Southern violence will.soon be appa-f rent. Shall we not then have a If cstern party upon this basis? Willaot Clay, and Corwin, and Douglass, and Benton, and Bell, and . a host of other distinguished statesmen, both in and out Congress, and of both political parties, unite with us in forming such a. party? And why should not the West be heard upon a 'question so vital to her welfare? What would be our condition without the Union? We shall not enlarge upon this branch of the subject. The imagination shrinks back appalled at the mere contemplation of the catastrophe. We invoke our brethren of the press in the West, to speak out boldly on this subject. It is far above any mere party obligations when the integrity of the nation is threatened, it is time for us to forget our allegiance to party, and to remember only the higher duties which we owe to the country. We appeal to the distinguished statesmen in the West in both houses of Congress, and whether whigs or demo crats, to take a bold and decided stand on this subject, kside from all considera tions of public duty, no fairer field was ever presented, in which a statesman might hope to earn a solid and enduring fame.
