Are We  Fighting For  Disunion.
It is no longer a question of 'saving the Union;'
i-ndeed, there has never bepn any effort to save the
Union, for even the compromisers of other days
merely desired to "save'   their party, while the
anti-slaveryites have labored for   thirty   years  to
destroy the "Union," and recreate a new on*, with
the negroes instead ©f with the whits'citizenship of
the South !   To preserve the Union,  it  was  only
necesary to stand by the Coustiiution, and as it is
interpreted   Iiy   th**   Supreme   Court,  as  it wa_
alawys administered by every administration of this
Gi vernment prior to that of Mr. Lincoln.   Every
man with a thimblefull of brain* Iti.ows the   perfect truth of thre^ and knows, moreover, that, even
after the hI c ion of Mr.  Lincoln, a ; > 1     fer   ibe
secession of tbe cotton Status, bad he pledged himself to stand by tbe Constilu ioj*. as administered
by all his predee'essorg, th'- whole secession movement wonld.iinve colhp ed into nothingness.     An
anti Union party, by a mere sectional vote elected
a President on a platform which,   if  carried   into
effect, involved lhe rt.in and litter   destruciion   of
the whole social fabric of fourteen States. The antiunion or "anti-slavery" party  did not design  to
ruin these Sates at ouce,   by   direct   intei (erence
with their social and industrial system, but intended to institute a policy tbat, some day or iu tome
way, sboilW end in the "extinction of slavery" and
"impartial freedom' with negroes—tbat is, in social destruction, by   amalgamation   with  negroes,
as in Jamaica, &c.    Of course they were ignoraut,
blind, urfltdr!y deine t-dmi   the  subject, and had
not the remotest conception  of  the  impious  and
obscene devilism they were thus   striving   to   io-
augurate..;-but tbete v-a.* no li oj left for tbe  people ot ihe Sout i lo   expe se   their   lunacies,   and
save society from the consequence of  their   madness, by tbe ordinary methods.   Magnanimous aud
glorious old Virginia, therefore, calltd for  a National Conference to save the Uuion, aud ber delegates, wilh an ex-.Presideut at   tbeir  head,   only
asked that Mr. Lincoln should  pledge bimse f to
administer tbe Government, on   the  basis of  tbe
Constitptlgn. as interpreted by tbeSupremeCourt,
and Vir-pinfa would pledge herself  to restore   the
secededfSfc-ktes?" This, of   course,   demanded   tbe
complete surrender of the  Chicago  plalform,  tbe
u tier abandonment of the 'jn incip-es of thj Republic** j)9ri?'v the total giving up of anti-slavery.
'lOTjWWTOfl-trhionisu*!, in fact, for   such   it   is,
and nothing elee, aud tbere is no Union   With   the
people of  tie Soulh uniil this   is  doue,   and   the
"Government" restored to the constitutional' po&i-
tiou in which "Wasiington placed  it eighty jeais
ago,.and ur- all men ar d uil parlies have regarded
it, btitil this monstrous Alolition lunacy   perverted it.   It was a' bard thing, it is true, for a sucrss-
ful p .riy.to give u > its "principles" at   the   very
moment of   :is • iuoe-a.     But   wJiat   were   these
1'principles?"    Wby,   that  so-called slavery  was
wrone-, and the "slave" enti led to impartial freedom 1"   Tbat is, that the negro is as good as  the
wbite man, and should have the same liberty ! and
the Government, the common Government, should
be used  os   an   instrument   to   practicalize   this
"great truth,'' to be so wielded that, some  day  or
in some way, the existing relations of white  men
and negrne> should be changed, and   all   amalgamated together   in   the   same   political  Sysiem I
Heavens and earth 1   what   runacy,   impiety   and
utterly degrading besottedness!   What blind crime
against humanity, and ignorant impiety  to   God ,
But they know it not, and never dreamed even  of
tbe crime involved.   On the contrary,   men   like
Cheever, Sumner, <Sec, thought themselves relorm-
ers, philanthropists, and   true   Democrats;   and
when blindly striving to reverse tbe older  of nature, and make tbe subordinate negro tbe equal of
tbe superior white man, really believed they were
engaged in a great and  holy   cause.     Of  course
they rejected the proposal of Virginia.   They  de
manded absolute submission to  the outward  form
of law, while thus striking down,   not  alone the
Constitution, but the vital principles of self government and of Ameriearr-civilization.     If the
South submitted to be ruled by a Northern parly,
pledged to wield the common Government for the
ultimate extinction of so called slavery, and "impartial freedom" or amalgamation  witb   negroes,
wby, well and good.  They might continue to send
men to congress, might enjoy free  speech,  might
participate io a mongrel Government, enjoy "impartial freedom" with their own negroes, and  indulge in   the   inspiring thought, tbat,   some day,
the blood of tbeir offsprings  would mingle uth
the dusky currents that flow through the veins of
the sooty "Americans of  African   descent;"   but
tbey must submit to the rule of those whonvin
the nature and necessities of the case,  Ihey  could
not resist through the ballot box, for though  they
might come North   and   discusB   the   matter,   of
course tbey could not vote.   Half of   the   Uuion,
thus called on to submit to tbe otber  half,  have
seceded, and a war has gone on fir two   years   io
force them to submit, not to the Constitution, but
to the external forms of Union—not to the principles on which it waa founded,   but   to  principles
utterly destructive to society in the seceded States
—not to the Constitution as heretofore  interpret--
ed, but to a construction that would  revolutionize
our system, aod ruin the civilization  of America
for a thousand yea (t'to e me    It  is of necessity,,
therefore, a war of subjugation, and of course cannot succeed, for that would involve   the  ruin   of
seoiety as well as   of  liberty—tbe  overthrow   of
civilization, and even the debauebmeot and deterioration of our race, as well as the vital principles of our Democra-tic system.   The white people
of the South wouldlue buried under the   ruins  of
their civilization first; indeed, utterly exterminated, before tbey would submit  to  these madmen,
these blind lunatics, who in seeking   to   give   an
imaginary freedom to an inferior raee, are blindly
striving to enslave their own posterity.
But if the South cannot be conquered, the North
may be subjugated. If tbe social order of fourteen
States cannot be revolutionized and overthrown
by the Abolition lunacy. ■ the   prosperity   of  the
In short, if the bogus freedom of negroes in the
South is beyond tbe capabilities of Northern madness, the slavery of tbe white masses in the North
is quite possible, if not probable. Indeed, we are
afcjhis moment, in the utmost d-foger of fulfilling
the prediction of John Townsend, and havinc this
epitaph written ever our northern country—"Here
was once a (jrrat people wbo in strivmir to give
liberty to the negroes lost their own." Two years
of war, to force the South to submit to Abolitionism, has taken a million from the four millions of
northern laborers, and wasted one-third of the realized wealth of the North, and yet fools and
knaves talk of ths high price of gold.—
Two years more of war will leave us the most impoverished, debauched, enslaved and miserable
people the sun ever shone upon, so weak and contemptible that multitudes will be ready to seMl themselves for food, and to preserve their miserable existence, while half a million or so of "redeemed,
negroes" are to fill up the places of the brave vigorous and glorious young men who laid down their
lives at the feet ofthe Abolition demon. If the
war were successful, if tbe South were conquered,
then the calamities ofour country would be fourfold greater; indeed, the extermination of the .wfaites
ancl the "Union as it ought to be," with four millions of negroes, would be tbe greatest calamity tbat
ever happened to mankind, since time began. But,
as has been said, this^.is not the question. It is our
own freedpm, not the bogus freedom of the negroes,
that is now in issue. We must grapple with the
Abolition demon on our own soil,instead of blindly and wickedly doing its deyil'-s work elsewh-re.
"Wa must stand by oup natural, inherent and inalienable righjSjiby our own homes and firesides, by
our State Constitutions, and by the Union ofthe
States as that Union was made and administered for
eighty years and by a I p irtiefcrj until thiB Abli^n
disflnion and free nigger party stole the "government" by a sectional vote. In a word, we Must
come baok to the Constitution and the Union as it
was two years'iigo, as did Jefferson and the Democrats of 1800. we must obliterate all the lunacies;
and devilisms, the crimes and wrongs, and when
we thus return to the glorious old Union ef the
past, our southern brethren  will be with   us to a

Bad for the President.
The Evening Post informs us that Gen.
mont, who had recently been named for a
:mia;fld''ha8 been dettnit*ly set aside, along
General? Butler and HathHton. II. is saifl that ther
President was very desirobs of assigning Genera'
Fremont to active duty, if only in concession of
that vaBt amount of of republican opinion in the
East ai d West/-which has settled tipon him for its
favorite leader, but he (tbe President) was unable
to overcome tbe opposition of*Gen. Halleck* to tbe
Bppointment. We understand, in faet, that Mr.
Lincoln gave this account himself, ''{md that he
seemed to the last degree dijecl'ed tbat, h,is SnfluA
ence was not equal to the wish he had in view.
T ni- makes it bad for the President, and the same
time rather bad lor the country, as lhe same want
of popularity at headquarters, will doubtless prevent his excellency from procuring employment
for Butler, or for Hamilton. The probability is
that Mr. Seward, who is in perfect accord with
Gen. Halleck, bas had fresh visions of an
early col apse of the rebellion, and does not wish
to impair the prospects of some pending plan of
compromise by tbe further appointment of any
very earnest men. A full explanation, however, of
tbe real policy of shelving these generals, should
have been given to tbe President. If, after that,
he did not act intelligently, he at least could have
given a reason that would not have been degrading to his station. The idea that be is defeated of
his wir.li, s, by one of bis clerks, does not invite
the confidence of the Nation. Tor a lolig while
we have been unable to discover of what servi< e
Gen. Halleck is to the Government, but we ean
readily perceive bow a man ofhis qualities .may.
be made exceedingly serviceable to totrielbrancbes
ofthe administration. Having demonstrated at
Corinth that be bas no talents for the field, it beiiig,
manifest from the dullnee of bis bureau: he (lajs.nq
•ftbHit es for slrategy or combination, and being
moreover without friendship or a pretense, he can
shoulder all responsibilities, withoutinjuring himself or damaging the prospects of any one el^e.
We are decidedly of tbe opinion, ther-*s/orej that
Halleck should continue to wear three stars upon
his shoulder, for though that is one-third in excess otall known military ornamenta, it does not
over-.epMsent the fluttering respousibilues assigned to such a constellation.
THE TWO KINDS OF UNIOIS*.
Natural philosophy recognizes two kinds of Union,
mechanical and chemical—a union by force, and a
union by affinity. The ■ first is artificial, and may
endure as long as the mechanical. forces continue,
provided a chemical action does not set in, but no
longer ; the other is natural, and ean be broken
only by violence, or by the presence of anolher element. If dissolved by'another element, reunion is
hopeless, unless the element be removed ; if broken
by Violence, we have only to place the parts or
particles so that the natural laws can operate<upon
them and they will as readily cohere as they did at
the foundation' of the first union.
From this illustration, furnished by natural philosophy, can we not learn a lesson in political economy? A union by mechanical force, which may
even dissolve by chemical action, is a perfeotdllus-
tration ofa despotism., Which may crumble to pieces
because of its incongruous elements, and which naturally and inevitably falls apart as soon as the
coercive force is sufficiently weakened. A union
by chemical force aptly illustrates a pure democracy, in which the strength of the union depends upon
lhe existing mutual affinity, and the dissolution ot
which can never take place except through some
positive violence or interference with the operations
of natural laws.
The Union of the free and sovereign States of
America was formed by mutual attraction. Self-
defense raffidlcoMMitevcial advantage were the incentives to the Union, and brotherly love was the cement. The present administration has destroyed
the cement of brotherly love, by pouring upen it
the acid of Puritan-abolitionism, the States have
fallen apart, and the vile presence of this dissolv-
JBg^I.ement has removed the incentives to Uuion—
self defense and commereiail advantage—or, at least
rendered • them inoperative. Now the administration is foolishly trying to restore the Union by pouring on more acid and using force. If it were possible to succeed in this, it would require a tremen -
doue and constant pressure to keep the antagonistic
elements togetWer, while there would be the ever-
present danger, sooner or later to result in calamity, of a terrible   explosion.
Now does noteommon sense, as well as science,
teach us tha the e can be no Union as long as tho
acid of Buritanabolitjonism and war is used in the
place ef brotbenlyslove ? Remofe lhe offensive element,, and the OMginal aneentiyies, self-defense and
commercial advantage, will again operate, as of old>
to'refer nr the Union, and brotherly love will agaia
cement it more firmly-tha'n before.—J\l. Y. Cauca-
sitn
"Tbe democrats use tbe term 'black snakes' because their opponents apply to them tbe name of
'copperheads.' Tbe American Volunteer thus alludes to the matter :
"Coppeheads vs. Black Snakes.—The abolitionists, excessively fond ol applying pet names to
their opponents, continue to Btyle the democrats
'copperheads!' We like the term, for there is an
applicability about it which bas a palpable aud
significant meaning ; it is a fearless independent
snake, that knows ite power, and wheu .disturbed
pr interfered with, uses it. Is a brave snake, add
therefore naturally tolerant, harmless, passive,'
but take care that you do notHread upou it. for it
never runs, except to attack its foe, aud its sting,
when once aroused, generally proves falnl. Now
the Mjlack snake,' and bere, u^o, the analogy is
complete. The'black snake'is cowardly, hissing
thieving reptile : it possejses, it is said, the power
to charm, but alfo charms to- Sfestruotion ; it robs
birds' nests, visits barnyards and Bucks eggs, and,
bas beeu found twined round the legs of a cow
sucking her milk, just as abolitionist contractors
jobbers or offioe holders are now doing with Uucle
Sam's co*. It always runs when tp,jroaohed, or
wben heated by exertion emits an odor not u> hk
that which is sent forth by the idols of abolttfb11'
under Bimilar ciicnmstances."
So you see "black snaks" is a good name for
the negro worshipper.

A Cyclopean Rksiment.—I asked Mahommed
if his parents still lived in Egypt. He replied, "God>knows ! It is more than twenty years
since I left my mother. She was a widow; peace
be upon her! and I bave never heard of her since.
It is too late now ; no letter would reach her, for
she is poor and unknown in the land. When the
poor leave their parents, they leave them forever.
That is the reason why mothers weep and refuse to
be comforted when their sons go away from their
homes. Letters can be carried for the rich, and for
people who are known. ' He was surprised to hear

the use pf one eye. In answer to may inquiry, he
told me that his mother had purposely destroyed

This practice was very common in Egypt, until
Ibrabam Paaha put an effectual stop to it by ordering a regiment to be formed entirely of pne eyed
men, and every one \vho had lost the sight of an
eye, either by accident or design, was compelled to
join it. Mohammed, among others, was enrolled, and
this Cyclopean regiment became'the most formidable in the Egyptian service.—Miss Rogers' Domestic Life in   Palestine."
