THE UNION.
“[0 are in the midst of most exciting
events. We are told that the days of the
Republic are nunrbered, and that South Car-
olina, either alone orpwith some of her neigh-
boring States, will secede from the Union be-
fore SprinO‘. \Vc are told by Mr. Buchanan,
whose voice has always been but a feeble
echo of the South, and by the Breckinridge
Democracyof the North, whose voice has
for three years past been but a still feebler
echo of James Buchanan, that the agitation
of Slavery by the North has at length, pro-
duced its natural results in the South, and
that the Republican party is responsible for-
:the dissolution of the Union, if it takes '
place. The persistent opposition of the
North to the, further extension of Slavery,
culminating in the election of a Republican
President, has rendered it impossible for
South Carolina to remain in the Union, and
so in that State and in Alabama,’ Grand Ju-
ries are to-day presenting the Federal Union
as a nuisance—mat Union for the establish-
nrent of which our fathers died, and to which
our national greatness is mainly due.
The dissolution of the Union is certainly
to be deprecated. eratevcr value we may
be disposed to place upon South Carolina,
her secession establishes the principle that a
State may secede when she chooses, and for
any cause, or even without cause. Such a
principle once established, law ceases to be
law, and Constitutions become worthless
parchment. But just in proportion to the
magnitude of the evils which must flow front
the dissolution of the Union, and of the bles-
sings which we enjoy in the Union, should
' be the greatness of the causes for breaking
up this Republic. Now either those South-
ern States are going out of the Union for
cause or without cause. If the latter, we of
the North can’t help it. We are not respon~
sible for their folly. If they choose to laugh
and shout. when the: valanclre is trembling
over their head, and the slightest whisper
may bring it down, upon them be the res-
ponsibility. But if for cause, let us see
whether the real causes are alleged, or only
pretended ones given.
And first it is said that the North fails to
return fugitives as required by the Fugitive
Slave Law, If this were true, the complaint
should oorne from .those States that lie near-
est the North, from which alone the slaves
escape. But. not a whisper of Disunion is
heard in Delaware, Maryland, Missouri or
Kentucky. They lose slaves—South Caro-
lina and Georgia do not. The former do not.
complain, the latter do. The former love
the Union, the latter hate it. Is this then the
reason for breaking up the Union 1’ Evi-
dently not! The not proposed and the cause
assigned are entirely disproportioned. More-
over this difliculty of getting fugitive slaves
returned is no greater now‘ than it has been
for the last ten years. So that if Secession
is justifiable 011 that ground now, it was jus-
tifiable before the Republican party had a
being.
In the second place, the Personal Liberty
Bills of the North are alleged as a cause.—
“These destroy the force of the Fugitive
Slive Law.” We must repeal these, we are
told. The Personal Liberty Law of Connec-
ticut is an honor to the State. It is a law of
which her own citizens may well be proud,
and of which no one who is not amonster of
rapacity and inhumanity would complain.—
It simply punishes the attempt to take a free—
man into slavery by false and malicious rep-
resentations, and requires two witnesses to
prove a man a slave. \Ve require as much
testimony to send a man to State Prison for
Perjury as we do to send a man into Slavery
for life. Is it unreasonable? N0 ! let the
law remarn. If is not the trouble. Thatlaw
has been upon our Statute Book six years.
You, Messrs. Disunionists, knew of Its pas-
sage at the time. It was passed when you
were defiantly and triumphantly breaking up
the Compromises of the past, and passing
the Nebraska Bill; when you were extend-
ing the area of slavery, and violating the
compacts your fathers had ratified; when
you were trampling on Northern moral sen-
timent, and thinking the Union a very nice
thing. It. was on our Statute Book when
you helped elect James Buchanan. It was
there when you attempted to force on an on-
willng people that damnable fraud, the Le-
compton Constitution. It was there when
you were trying to force your own curse of
human slavery upon Kansas. Why didn’t
you go out of the Union then, and let the
people who loved the Urrion,settle the affairs
of the Union ‘3 Were Personal Liberty Bills
any better when you thought you were going
to make Kansas a Slave State than they are
since you failed in that attempt? Are they
any worse since Lincoln’s election than be-
fore? _
No, it is not opposition to fugitive slave
laws, nor the passage of Personal Liberty
Bills that creates the trouble. Repeal every
one of the latter and enforce every one of
the former, and the dissolution of the Uniorr
would be as imminent as it is today. SO
long as a strong moral sentiment exists in
the North against Slavery the Southern
states will be dissatisfied. As Mr. Lincoln
said in his great Cooper-Institute-Speech,
“We must cease calling Slavery wrong, and
join them in calling it right.”
Now on this very point we have just made
an issue. The question presented was,
“Shall the principles of Thomas Jefferson, or
the principles of John C. Calhoun control
this Country?” \Vc went to the. people
with it, not with bullets and bowie knives
and tar and feathers to enforce our argu-
ments, but by calm and dispassionate ap—
peals to their judgment and conscience. The
people have decided in our favor. They
have chosen Mr. Lincoln as a man of the Jet‘-
fersonian stamp, to preside over our country.
They have established this principle that the
Federal Umbn is no longer the pliant looloj'
Slater-y propagmulists and can no longer be
used for tho artension of Slavery. The South
recognizes this fact. The Cotton States love
Slavery, and the Union so long as it aids to
extend Slavery. When it ceases to do that,
the Union for them has no clue. And that
is the reason and the sole reason why to-day
they wish to leave the Union.
If they, a. minority of the people, may be
permitted to override the moral convictions
of the majority and make the Union fulfill
their desires, if the Northern people will sur-
render the riglrt of private judgment and let
the Cotton States govern the country, then
they will abide in the Union. And the men
who here in the North point to the Republican
party as the cause of the dissolution of tho Un-
ion would be willing to accept the Union on such
forms as that. Heaven forgive them for their
meanness of soul ! Because for-sooth we
eject from our office a man who is robbing
our desk, and he in his fury goes into the
street and murders some one we are responsi-
ble for the murder! Our Democratic Edit—
. ors would come round us, we suppose, and
pointing to the dead body exclairn, “See
there what you’ve done! if you had only leti
the man take that money this never would '
have happened 1” And so every man who,
doesn’t let a wrong doer have his own way '
is to be made responsible for all the evil the;
match may do in his anger.
...a-..'J._.i ., .
h...“_ .
In the present condition of affairs it only
remains for us to wait and see what will be
done. \Vc can abide with composure the re-
sult of events over which we have no control
and for which We are in no measure respon-
Sible. “'0 have simply done our duty. The
evil that is sapping the foundations of the
Union lies deeper than Fugitive Slave Laws;
and is not to be remedied by any ordinary
concessions. It is a radical hostility on the
part of the Cotton States to the fundamental
principles of a free government, to wit, that
a majority shall govern. lVe have subnrittcd
while the majority was with them. It is their
turn now. If they refuse and prefer to break
up the Union they will probably experience
the evils of their 0er act. as soon and as
keenly as any. For ourselves in the language
of Mr. Lincoln, “Let us neither be slandered
from our duty by false accusations against
us, nor frightened from it by menaces of des-
truction to the Government, nor of dungeons
to ourselves. “Let us have faith that right
makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the
end dare to do our duty as we understand it."

Dedication of the 2d M. E. Church.
According to previous announcement, the
opening services in this (‘hurch came off on
\Vednesday last. The following was the or-
der of exercises:
1st. Voluntary by the Choir.
2d. Reading the Scriptures by the Pastor.
3d. Anthem by the Choir.
4th. Prayer by lev. Wm. (‘. Hoyt, 1’. E.
5th. Reading the Scriptures by Rev. J. B.
Wakely of Poughkecpsie.
0th. {cading a Hymn by Rev. J. J. Woo]-
so I, and Singing by Choir.
7th. Sermon by Rev. Bishop Jones, at the
close of which he requested the congregation
to’ stand on their feet, and unite with him in
a prayer of dedication, in which the Bishop
in a very solemn manner, presented the edi-
fice to the Divine Being, as aplace of reli-
gious worship and service, and concluded by
the invocation of the Divine blessing. A
statement of the Finances was then made by
the Chairman of the Building Committee, af'-'
ter which subscriptions and collections were
obtained, amounting in gross to something
over $3,000.
At 1-2 past 2 P. M., a litre congregation
were assembled to bear a discourse from Rev.
Dr. Bartiue, of Philadelphia, on the “immor-
tality of ouch.” This was a splendid dis«
course, listened to with the profoundest at-
tention. ' .
At 1-2 past '7 in the evening, the large and
beautiful edifice was thronged with a very
large congregation, to listen to a sermon from
Rev. J. B. \ ’akcly, of Poughkeepsie, which
was delivered in his peculiarly impressive
and interesting manner, from Eph. 2d chap.
l9th, 20th, Slst and 22d verses. Rarely have
we been privileged to witness a series 0
more interesting and impressive services, or
listened to a succession of Sermons, more
able, lucid and appropriate than on this oc-
casion. The Bishop’s discourse was based
upon the vision of Isaiah, commencing as
follows: “I n the year that King Uzzialr died,"
&c., and was indeed a masterly exposition of
that splendid vision. And its Singular ap'
propriateness to the occasion was apparent
to every intelligent mind.
The music, under the lead of Prof. Merri-
am, was all that could be desired. Indeed,
the musical department alone I 'as :1 splendid
entertainment.
On the whole, the services were of the
most interesting kind, and of tlre.highest or-
der. The subscriptionsarnl collections were
exceedingly liberal, especially when we con-
sider-the present. financial embarrassmcnfs,
the sum total exceeding $4,000.
“"0 learn that some malicious persons lIad'
put into circulation a slanderous report, that
the building w: s not safe—and thus, doubt—
less, deterred many persons from attending
these interesting services. Surely no one
who will take the least pains to exarrrinc the
structure of this beautiful edifice, can for
one moment doubt its strength or security.
It does not seem possible to crowd it. full
enough to produce the slightest effect upon
its structure. '
Great credit is due to the unfaltcring ener-
gy and perseverance of the Society for thus
adding to the attractions of mu village, this
beautiful edifice.

Extract from a Letter of a gentleman in
Alabama, (a native of that state) to his
Correspondent in this town.
“Since the election of Lincoln was decided,
great excitement has prevailed in this State
and through the South; and il'the views and
designs of the Republican party are such as
had been represented by some of the northern
papers, there is cause for alarm. The New
York “Day Book,” “Journal of Commerce,”
“Observer," and “Herald,” which circulate
in this section, have for years represented
the Republican party as abolitionists—organ-
ized to nrake war upon Slavery in the states.
Our own papers derive their information
mainly from those journals—and hence it is
that very many of our citizens believe that
after Mr. Lincoln‘s inaguration there will be
no security for slave property “,1 the present
Union. \Vhatcver may have been my opin-
ion heretofore, I confess that I do not now
sympathize in tlIcsc views. During four
months (from J true to October) spent at the
North the past season, and in five different
states, while everywhere I encountered the
advocates of Lincoln’s electionf I do not re-
member to have met but four abolitionists—
and two of those disclaimed any sympathy
with the Republicanparty. On my return
I stated tlresc facw 10 my il'icnds. To repeat
it now. publically,urould avail nothing. \Ve
have too many political men whose motto in
national affairs is—“rule or ruin,"

Fugitive Slaves.
Paying for
On page .1429 of the third volume of (he
-l/culivon papers, in the report of the Debates
0f the Federal Convention upon the second ,
part of the lirstclause of Section nine,.\rfic1e
first. of the (.‘onsfitution of the l'nifcd States,
occurs the following :—
“Mr'. Sill-lunar; was against. this second
part, as «(ch'noarluh/i/Iy nub lo be properly, by
taxing them as such under the character of
slaves.“
Mr. MxnIsox though! if wrong (0 admit in
tho Christin/[hm the idea fhu/ Ihcrc could be
properly in hum."
“Mr. GonIIAM thought that Mr. Sherman
should consider the duty, no! to; implying that
Slut-es are properly, but. as a discouragement
to the importation of them.“
The construction of Mr. GORHAM seems
to have been satisfirctorv to all parties and
“it was finally agreed new con, to make the
clause read ‘but a tax or duty may be impo-
sed on such importation, not exceeding ten
dollars for each person,’ and then the second
part, as amended, was agreed to.”
The sentiments of SHERMAN and Manrsox
as above expressed, are no less just at this
time than they were in the summer of 1787.
In this year 1860, however, men are propo-
sing to pay for qugifirc slaves ciflrcr out of
the Federal, State, or County Treasuries,
thoughtless that they thereby directly aflirm
“tho idea of properly in man.” Brit, it may
be asked, does not the Constitution provide
for the rendition of such fugitives as proper-
1y? Not at. all. The Constitution of the
United States contains no such hideous ano-
maly. The 'arliest mention of the clause
for the rendition of fugitives from service, in
the Debates of the Convention is found on
page 14-17 of the third volume of the Madi-
son papers, and is as follows :
“Mr. BUTLER and Mr. Prucuxnv rrIoved
‘to require fugitive slaves and servants to he
(lclicorcd up lilac crimzhals.’ ” The suggestion
was again renewed by Mr. BUTLER, reduced
to legal phraseology in its present. form,
adopted without a dissenting voice, and made
part of the section which requires the rendi-
tion of l'ugitivcs from justice. Here is the
provision,
“No person held to service or labor in one
State, under the [mos thereof; escaping into
aunther, shall, in. conacqucucc of (my (mo or
regulation (herein, be discharged from .vuch
scru'ccor luborbut shall be delivered up on
claim of the party to whom such .vcrricc or
labor may be due.”
The fugitive mentioned here is a person es-
caping from the authority of a Male, whose
laws hold him to service or labor ; and when
he is delivered up,in the view of the Constitu-
tion, it is as a pol-eon fleeing from obligations
imposed by low, and not as a piece of prop-
crly, like a horse or an ox, running away,
from its owner. And as a fugitive from jus-
tice shall bc_delivcred up “on demand of the
Executive authority of the State from which
he fled,” so the fugitive from service “shall be
delivered up on claim of the party to whom
such service or labor may be due” by the
laws ofthe State from which he fled.
To provide therefore for payment for fugi-
tives as property would not only be a denial
of the principles so clearly expressed by
Mamsox and SHERMAN in the Federal Corr-
vcntion, but would also be an usurpation of
power not conferred by the Constitution. It
could orrlybe accomplished by an amend-
ment offlrat instrume’nt, and etc still believe
“that it would be wuoxu to adrrrit in the Corr-
sfitufion the idea that there could be proper-
ty in man.”
The truth-is that all this hue and cry about
fugitive slaves is the sheerest lIuInbug. The
simple existence of this Confederacy, with
the Northern States interposed between the
slave States and Canada, is the great security
upon which masters of slaves rely, and must
rely. No fugitive slave law can add much
to that security, and actual statistics prove
that the loss experienced by the flight of
slaves, compared with the whole investment
is less than is suffered in any species of legit-
imate property. The reason is not that we
have a law for the rendition of fugitives, but
that between the slave and the liberty to
which he aspires, is interposed a jerrrncy of
five hundred miles, through a region under
the same general government as that f"om
which he fled, and where his angry master
may seize him at any moment, by the simple
power of a Constitutional provision for that
purpose. So long as the Union survives, this
state of things must continue; whenever the
Union is sundcred, “slave property,“ as if. is
termed, will lose its best security.

THE MAGAZINES.
THE ATLANTIQ—As a purely lilc'ary
Magazine the Atlantic Monthly has taken its
position at the head of all the American
Magazines, at position which it justly de-
serves and maintains with credit. It pub-
lislresrroillustrations, and therefore relics
solely upon the merits of its literary contents
for patronage. For the next year the Pub-
lishers are holding out unusual inducements.
They announce a new Novel by Mrs. Harri-
et Beecher Stowe; a new Novel by Charles
lead, one of the best. of English Novelists;
anew romance by the author of “Charles
Auclrcster,” and “Counterparts": a new se-
ries of storiesby the brilliant Miss Prescott ;
also contributions during the year from
Longfellow, Hawthorne, Holmes, Lowell,
Emerson, Whittier, Bayard Taylor, Whip-
,plc, Kimball, Hillard, Bellows, Mrs. Kemblci
Sargent, I-Iigginson, 'I‘rowbridge, and others.
Wendell Ilolmes’ queer “Professor’s Stor r,"
which is so original that no other rnan would
have ever thought of writing the like, is not
yet finished, and will probably run through
half the year, in order to give the Professor
opportunity to moralize. The Atlantic and
Gazette one year for $4,00.
Gonux for January made ifs appearan cc on
our tablecarly last week. It contains two
finely executed steel engravings, fashion
plates in endless quantity, including a two
page colored plate, and a most attractive list
of liferar v contents. This Magazine holds
out its usual inducements to subscribers, and
in our opinion is better than ever, as aLady’s
Magazine. \Vc will furnish Godey, together
with the Gazette, one year for $4,00. Now is
the time to subscribe.
PnTnusox's MonzIxn for January is al-
ready out, ready to receive tlfe commenda-
tion of its friends. This is a $2,00 Lady’s
Magazine, of long established rcputation,and
a general favorite with the fair sex. This
number opens with a very pretty srcel plate
engraving of “Cobwebs,” executed by John
Sartain, from an original design; following
this is another steel plate entitled “Caught in
the Snow," which is decidedly better than the
average of Magazine plates, in our opinion.
Fashion plates, designs for Embroidcr *,
marking, &e., are in profusion. The Ro-
mances, Sketches, &c., are always good.—
We will furnish Peterson’s and the Gazette
one year for $335.
AnTrrun’s HOME IMAGAZINE is‘still edited
by ’1‘. S. Arthur and Virginia F. Townsend,
under whose management it is, of course, an
excellent. Magazine. It is conducted in about
the same style as the other Philadelphia La-

cred lIonor, to maintain it.

Cora, well known in New York Harbor, and
hailing from that. city, has just been caught
on the African coast, about 80 miles off the
Congo river, by the U. S. covertte Constella-
tion, with 705 negro slaves on board. She
was sent “Ito Monrovia with a prize crew.——
She was most luxuriously supplied with
wines, preserved meats, fruits, &c.: and she
made desperate efforts to escape, by throw-
ing ove‘ anything that would lighten the
vessel, and by showing no light at night.—
'l‘he ward-room officers took a boat load of
her choicest stores for their private use. She
is 431 tons, built at Baltimore in 1856 and is
a prize worth tak’Irg, to say nothing of the
705 slaves returned to Africa.

Synopsis of President's Message.
The President delivered his Message before
Congress Tuesda_' afternoon. \Ve give :
synopsis :
The President. reviews the history of the
anti-slavery movement, and saysall that is
necessary to accomplish the object of p race
is for the slavcholding States to be left. alone
to manage their domestic institutions in tlIeIr
()‘Nll “'lly.
'l‘he Incre election of any man to oflice is
notjust cause for a dissolution of the Union.
The antecedents of the President elect are
calculated to exccite fears in South Carolina;
but is the question of contingent danger suf.
llt‘lt‘lll to justify the destruction of the Gov—
crnurcnf.
The President. reviews the acts Offlre dif-
ferent Northern States in the passage of per-
sonal liberty bills, and pronounces them un~
constitutional. He says that it should not
be presumel in advance that the President
elect will fail to enforce the fugitive slave law
as this would be unjust and contrary Chris-
tian charity. Let us wait for the over act.
He then declares against the right of seces-
sion, and says that if it were admitted, the
Union might be broken into fragments in less
than two‘iveeks. He quotes the languageof‘
Jackson and Madison to show that the-right
of'scccssion is altogether founded on an infer-
ence not in the Constitution ,in support of his
view. The framers of the Constitution never-
intended to plant in its bosom the seeds of
its own dissolution; they were not gmlty of
tbo absurdify of providing for Its own dIs-
solution. .
The right. of resistance agarnst tyranny
and oppression, however, cannot be denrcd.
This is asserted in the Declaration of Inde-
poIIdem-c; but secession is neither more nor
less that revolution. .
He speaks of the state of affairs III South
Carolina. He does not apprehend that an at-
fcmpt will be nradc to seize the forts; but If
in this supposition he ismistakeu, the officers
have orders to not strictly on the defensive.
Let. the responsibility rest on the heads of
those who provoke the contest. He invokes
his countrymen to pause before attempting
to destroy the Union which has conferred so
many benefits.
He argues that Congress can do much to
restore peace, by proposing and recommend-
ing an amendment to the Constrtutron for
remedying existing evils. The course he rec-
ommends is to have an explanatory clause
or amendment, recognizing first, the right
of property in slaves where slavery now
or may hereafter exist; and second, the duty
of protecting suchriglrt in all the common ter-
ritory until the latter are admitted as States
into the Union; third, a like recognition of
the right of the master to recover a fugitive
slave. This proposed remedy should at least
first be tried before resorting to revolution.
Tire President then proceeded to speak of
other questions, including our relations with
foreign governments.

M’LANr-r‘s LrvER PILLS, prepared by Flem-
ing Bros, Pittsburgh, Pa. From the unsolic-
ited testimony continually offered from all
quarters of the country, it is impossible to
to resist a conviction of the great excellence
of these Pills in all diseases of the Liver and
Stomach. The following letter from Toronto
Canada, is one of the many the proprietors
have received :
TououTn, April 27th, 1854.
Mnssus. FLEMING Enos,
Sira:—-I take tlns op~
portunity of informing you of the benehts I
have derived from Dr. M’Lan’s valuable PIHS.
I have for two years past been afflicted With a
severe pain over the eyes, accompanred wrtlr
a nervousness and sense of dizziness; 11 mal-
ady beyond the power and skill of our physr-
clans to relieve and cure, caused, as far as I
myself could judge, by a diseased state of the
liver and stomach. Some of the doctors
tried pleedirrg, rird various others remedies
were tried, but all in vain, for the deep-
rooted disease still stuck fast. At last I pro-
cured a box of your valuable Liver Pills from
a. Druggist here, and feel, after taking a por-
tion of them, that the disease and painful
sensation over the eyes has almost entirely
left me. I will close by advising all those
aflheted as I have been, to procure the valu-
able medicine at once, and save nmch time
and porn, with little expense. \Vith sincere
gratrtude and respect, I remain yous, respect-
fully. GEO. W. RUSSELL, Toronto.
