She certainly is an unnatural mother who den!eS her own oSpring. lew England the prolific mother of so manrerrorn, heresies, and isms, denounces with extreme bitterness a political doma of the present period, which is a part of her numerous progeny, a dogma con ceived, incubated and sent Out o this breathing world by herself secession. She now disowns it, denies her maternity, and trie to fasten it upon South Carolina aa her pet and progeny. This unnatural conduct v deserves exposure, and it becomes our duty to make this exposure. At three different periods has New England maintained the doctrine of secession ; at the period of the purchase of Louisiana, at the period of the annexation of Texas, and at the period of the war of 1812. For the first time, New England enunciated this doctrine in 1796 sixty-five years agow If our readers will patisntty follow us we will proceed to establish what we have here ascerted and establish, too, tbe additional fact that the idea of ttc'ionalism wss first injectew into the Northern mind by the publie men of New England. . Tbe late Matthew Carey, in his Olive Branch, states that the project of a separation of tbe States was formed in Netr England shortly .after the adoption of the Constitution j and that ia the year 1 795, a most elaborate aet of paper was publish d in a newspaper at llartford, Cona the joint production of an association of men of the .first talents and influence in the State, the object of which was to encourage the project of a separation, ana to foment the prejudices of the people ol New England against their bretiren of the Sou la ; An extract which he quotes from one of these papers U precisely in the style and temper of and incendiary Abolition address of the present day...- ' ' .r.

The. federal clergy of JlassacbusetU were then also in the field; proclamaing disunion, and some of tbem received Ike thanks ofthe Senate for their traitorous effusions. ' In the Masiachnsetts LerinUtore in 1805, a member exclaimed, "In a word I consider Louisiana tbe grave of the Union. .

If this bill pa,, it is my deliberate opinion that it is a virtual dissolution of the Union ; that lfrce tht Slate from tieir marat obligations, and. aa it will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some definitely to prepare for a sepa ration, amicably if they can, violently if they must." John Quiecy Adams, in describing the Federal diaunionists of Massachusetts, says, among other reasons for dissolving on the annexation of Louisiana, was tbe following : That it was oppressive to the interests, and destructive to the influence of the Northern aera tion ot the Confederacy, whose right and duty it vas therefore to Secede from the body politic, and - j ..

The New Enr- .i i ..... . . e iana people mea it atea something more monstrous and shocking Says Mr. Adams . That project that of the New Eogland Confederacy) I repeat, had gone the length of fixing upon a military leader for its execution; and although the circumstances ot the time never admitted of its execution, nor even of its full development, I yet had no doubt in 1803 and 1809, and have no doubt at this time, that it is the kev to all the great movements of these leaders nf the Federal party in New England from that time forward till its final catastrophe in the Hart ford Convention. In his celebrated Tetter upon the Hvtford Con vention of December 30. 1828. while President of the United States, Mr. Adams said i "This design of certain leaders of the Federal party (to effect a dissolution of the Union and the establishment of a Northern Confederacy) had been formed in the winter 6f 1803-4. imme diately after, acd as a consequence of the aoqui-eition of Louisiana. Its fastifriog causes to those who enjerfalned ere, that the annexation of Louisiana to the Union transcended the consti tational powers of the Government of tbe United States; tbat it formed, in fact, a new confederacy. to which the States united by the former Compact were not bound to adhere. This plan teas to far matured that a proposal hod been made to an in dividual to permit himself to be placed at the head of'the military- movements, which it was fore- teen would be necessary to carry it into execu i lion.": - ' - In the letter to Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Monroe shows that under tbe thrett of Eastern Federal ists to dissolve the Union if more Southern or Western Territory were added, he' yielded tQ Mr. Adams in the matter of tbe Florida treaty. Mr. Adams says that the design of a Northern Confederacy was formed as soon aa Louisiana was annexed. Mr. Monroe reminds Mr. Jeffer son of the early opposition securing the navigation of the river Mississ'ppi to the South west. Massachusetts was at the head of that conspiracy. The attempt to shot np tbe month of tbe Missis sippt "was ao eff irt Isays Mr. Monroe) to give such a shape to the Union as would secure the dominion over it to its Eastern section." " At tbat time,' he adds, Boston ruled the four New England States. A popular orator in Fannil Hall Harrison Gray Otis) rcled Boston. Jay's object was to make New York a New England Slate." : Mr. Moo roe then notices two snbseanent at tempts to cirenmacribe the Union the Uartford Qnlnvention, and the restriction of Missouri. On this issoe (the admission Missouri) he says they ther (th Entern Federalisu) were willing to rtsk tbe Union. The Biston Centnei. the Federal organ of the day. of November 12, 1803. ill confiroj Mr. Monroe s letter. To pay fifteen millions for Louisiana, in order to secure a place of deposits for Western prod nee, that paper exclaimed, was indeed insufferable, and it advo cated shotting up the Mississippi to the people "lest, if they have that, our New England lands would become a desert from the contagion of emigration." Mr. Monroe, in the -letter to Jefferson, says tha the Federal party "contemplated an arrange ment on the ditinclion solely betteeen slavcliolding and non-$lateholdmg Strifes, presuming that on that oasis only such a division mtohl be founded as leotild destroy, by perpetual excitement, the usual effect proceeding from difference in the pur suits and circumstances of the people, and mar snot the States, differing in that alone, in unceas ing opposition and hosttliftt to each other. X How prophetic and bow truly have the tra'tors . t ft as a in tne tbe punt ican ranks carried out this "irre pressible conflict" then sought tn be inaugurated, an amalgamation between the Republicans and Abolitionists to get np a Northern party, of which Massachusetts Republicans are to be the lead-era, and taking advantage of the excitement growing oat of the slavery agitation, draw the Democrats of the free States into their ranks, and thus marshal those States ia hostility to the Sooth, in order to break down the Ueraocraey and establish Federalism or Republicanism upon its ruins. - ' Tflit war or 1813. Passing over many facts, for want of spare, we sball content ourselves with a reference to tbe following as denoting tne hostility of New England to the war of 1812, which it deemed good eane for a dissolution ol tbe tToion i - Toe Boston Centinel, the Federal organ, as late as 1814, Dec. 19th, said : M Those who star-taat the danger of a separation, tell ns that the soil of New England is hard and sterile." Again, on the 17 th Dec, 1814, the Cent inel said : It is said that to make a treaty of commerce with the enemy is to violate tbe Constitution and to sever the Union. Are they not both already virtually destroyed f or in what stage of existence would they be, should we declare a neutrality or even withhold taxes and men ?n . : r Hfe we have both secession and onTlifieation proposed. Dot the most monstrous of all these New England schemes is to eoure. It is as follows $ ... .'-'".-' , The object of tbe leading Federalists in Massachusetts daring the war, was to establish a monarchy, with one of the royalfmSy of England eM its head. MrWallis seethe British Colonel Nichols told bim tha Naval Commander bad. hia orders to place Harrison Gray Otis at tbe bead of tha affair, until ihepleasurt of the Prince Regent was known. ': ; What that pleasure w to b, appears to have been already arranged. The British United Service Journal of May 1850,-ssys tbe object was to separate the Northern and Eastern and Southern and Western Slates, to establish a. lim ited monarchy tn the first aarred Sxates, placiae one of our princes of the blood on tbe throne ! ' The Ltavf h Republieans, the successors of this party, are eew endeavoring to ret, np ' a war araiost Sfwthern SUtes for practicing what New EnrTand orlghlated and preached secession . ..,-- - - a mi tne reaui w tpprwnun mnj trrannyi ineir predecessors sustained ti reso'&llon of Josiah Qnineyrn the last war with Great Britain tlSat rtlt notbeeotaiog a mora aad religiose people to rejoice over tbe victories of war" while they, with singular perversity, are bow anxious to inaugurate a fratricidal war, 'THE AKKEXATIOaT OF TEXAS. Texas was from tbe first a rock of offense to New England. Mr. Monroe, who regarded oar title to it as indisputable, was puyauaded by Mr. Adams to give it up to Spain by the treaty of Florida. The New England men threatened dissolution should Texas not be given up. Said Mr. Monroe, ia one of his letters on thia subject: M The difficulty is altogether internal and of the most distressing nature and dangerous tendency." ."-;':-:-:-" And what was that difficulty? Tbe Eastern Federal. sts menaced the Union if Mr. Monroe admitted Texas into the Union I Mr. Monroe was deterred by these menaces of disunion ! Mr. J. Q. Adams was ia his Cabinet and he knew the designs of the Boston Federalists. What their designs were Mr. Adams subsequently de veloped in his attack upon the Hartford Conven tion. : . This difficulty about Texas again broke out after the establishment of her independence, and when she applied for admission into the Federal baton. This developed afresh the sectionalism and secessionists of New England, and her we have to note a change of opinion on the part of Mr. Adams. He now makes his appearance as one of tbe New England agitators. Ia a speech on theoth of November, 1844, al Bridgwater, Mass., Mr. Adams said in relation to tbe annexation of Texn t The whole trans action was a tUgraut violation ot the isonstita tion. and its consummation had it been effected. would have been itself a dissolution of ibeUnioo." This was said after the rejection of the treaty aod before annexation by resolution to Congress.- In 1844. Mr. Adams and thirteen Congressmen issued a meet elaborate paper addressed "to the- people of tbe Free States of the Union." The National Intelligencer in which H appeared expressed reluctance in publishing it, ' because of the address which it bears to the people of a portion only of the United States." At a meeting in Milford, Mus-, on the 25th of March, 1844, violent secession resolutions were passed. 4 , ' . In March, 1845. the Boston Post said : ' By the annexation resolutions of the Whig Legislature, Massachusetts declares tbat she will go out of the Union if Texas comes in, or that at least she will nullify the act of annexation." The following is one of the resolutions offered by Mr. Bell, passed at its session in 1845 1 Resolved, That as the powers of legislation granted to Congress do not embrace the case of tbe admission of a foreign State or Territory by legislation Into tbe Union such an act would have no binding force whatever on the people of Massachusetts." Tbe Boston Atlas f on the 26th of December, 1844, says of the acnexaiion of Texas t Mr. King, a leading Republican, thus gives his opinion on secession : . . . " We say f iis advisedly upon information not to be disregarded and with a full, deliberate and unshaken conviction, that annexation, come in what shape tt may, is, and should be, the dis telenae of the Union. "'"". " -r - - --- 7? - The Boston tfias said t It is a grave matter to dissolve such a boly Union as ours has been none but grave causes should sever the boad. We cau baar all but this." (annexation, of Texas.) John Q iincy Adams offered in the Hue of RpreseutaU'es, the 28ih of February, 1843, tbe following, among other resolutions t " llemoleed. That any attempt of the Government of the United States, by an act of Congress or by treaty to annex to this Union the Republic of Texas, or tbe people thereof, would be a vio lation of the Constitution, null and void, and to which the free States of this Union and their people ought not to submit" We might cite numerous other proofs if onr space allowed, but these are sufficient, indeed, to establish our proposition that sectionalism, diannionism and secessionists originated in the North in New Eoglaod and it appears now that her own discarded invention has returned to plague her. The very idea tbe remedy that she invented is now asserted by tbe South against her, her usurpation, her, tyranny and her aggressive Abolitionism. Consistency, decency, self-respect, common justice, should prompt her to desist from objurgation and reproach. At three several historical epochs has New England asserted the right of secession. She is uuv formost in tbe denial and denunciation of it, aud she opposes all foreign wars is now clamor ous for civil war. . Our citations occupy so much space tbat further comment is inadmissible. History is sometimes troublesome New England finds It especially so. Those wbo want an thority for disunion, sectionalism, secessionists, and those who want authority for. the political dogma that the Conatitution is a cohfaCT and that the Union is a PARTXtERSHir, will find their authority in the above citations. It invert vss the whole broad q iestion of the permanency of our Government, and the continuation of our Union." Massachusetts cannot she must not she will not submit to tbe annexation of Texas to the United States. Let this idea be impress .t firm!. Sndfelibl BD4B the DuKlio mind. This J w .- I . - n Union is a partnership of twenty-six States. Tbe following is also of that party : We shall certainly consider tbe annexation of Texas, or any other foreign State, to this country as a virtual diaeolation of the Union, and we apprehend that such a vast addition to our territory and ppulst"ron woald so far change the nature and circumstances of the connection, as to absolve the dissenting States from any for 1 her obligation under the original contract of Union." :' . John Ree, Lieut Governor of Sassaebosetta, on Augost 4, 1844, aaid s "' It mutt be understood that the free States will neither eoeseot nor submit to the annexation of Texas to this Uatow. Such annexation woald result in its dissolution. "Indeed annexation without provision in the Constitution and without consent, would be an absolution from the bonds and obligations of the Constitution."

Our Govern meat, tbe pride ot freemen aad of the lovers of freedom the World over, is bow ia the process of change, to be known no store forever as it has been. On Thursday last tha Hon. N.

Tie great people, whose pursuits or whose op portunities do not allow them to see more than" the surface currents, might as well be given to understand at once the powerful undertone that is sweeping from under them their personal free), dom, the rights of tbe States and their republi can government. I tell them they are bo longer freemen, in tbat large and comprehensive sens we have all understood wasconveyed and embraced by that word, when applied to the rights and privileges of American eitisens. They will wake up ere long to tbe realixation of the sornd truth, but when it la too late to recover what despotism ahall have clutched in its iron bands. X write this as fact and prophesy. " It has already been asked: Why all these-State lines ? Why all this needle, cumber some, intricate entanglement of different 'powers to make law and decree judgment? W can afford now to efface the old Colonial Qeogrephyl It is the admitted powers of States' within the nation tbat has been tbe source of sjl our trouble. Nor will the removal of State power, end tbe creation of a Nationality, be a task so formidable." - . The idea is, to do away with State lines and with local State governments, and consequently with much of tbe elective franchise as now enjoyed by tbe people. In other words, the grand conception is, to make the Government of tho United States as near that of Great Britain as it is possible to get it. It is old Federalism with astounding monarchical additions, revived snd nnder very favorable auspices for its success. Yon must not suppose tbat this thing is not seriously entertained ; lor it is, and the conviction here is universal that the change is absolutely necessary, and will be made. A strong central government is now tbe cry ; and army and navy officers stroDgly favor it, because by the change they will become the upper crnst of society. The whole matter is openly discussed here and boldly advocated. Yon will learn from this, that tbe Democracy has before it the hardest battle if has yet fought in this country. It will be tore tain the largest share of personal libertf and rights as now enjoyed under tbe present Constitution. Tbey will fight nnder grat disadvantages, nnder the terrors of death and imprisonment. What the outcome may be, God only can telL For myself. I fear for tbe future. ; Congress will soon assemble. But ml bono f is asked by many. The New York Tribune ssvs it can do op all hecessarv business in a day or two. The Courier and Enquirer says all Congress has to do is to register the wishes of tbe President. Indeed, these leading Republican journals believe Congress will bean incumbrance. as tbe President, by assuming all tbe power oe-desirable for tbe exigency of the coantry, will not be hampered by legal restrictions. ; All.Cor-gresa is wanted for is to allow the Government to borrow what money, it may deem necessary, and to raise whatever number of troopa may bar regarded as desirable. It is also said that Con- . gresa will go into secret session to discuss tbe . question of conferring full military power on the President to raise and equip armies, declare martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus. As be has been doing this without authority of law, the question is gravely asked. What is the use of Congress? . t - - 'The err; tempt In which the RopremerCourt of the United Slates is held by the military, and " tbe usurpation of power by this la ter branch of the public service, and tbe violation of personal rights and "individual '. liberty, both North and South, are referred' to as an evidence that Republican freedom is dead, and only wants tbe formality of burial to bide it forever from the face of the Amer can people.

She certainly is an unnatural mother who den!eS her own oSpring. lew England the prolific mother of so manrerrorn, heresies, and isms, denounces with extreme bitterness a political doma of the present period, which is a part of her numerous progeny, a dogma con ceived, incubated and sent Out o this breathing world by herself secession. She now disowns it, denies her maternity, and trie to fasten it upon South Carolina aa her pet and progeny. This unnatural conduct v deserves exposure, and it becomes our duty to make this exposure. At three different periods has New England maintained the doctrine of secession ; at the period of the purchase of Louisiana, at the period of the annexation of Texas, and at the period of the war of 1812. For the first time, New England enunciated this doctrine in 1796 sixty-five years agow If our readers will patisntty follow us we will proceed to establish what we have here ascerted and establish, too, tbe additional fact that the idea of ttc'ionalism wss first injectew into the Northern mind by the publie men of New England. . Tbe late Matthew Carey, in his Olive Branch, states that the project of a separation of tbe States was formed in Netr England shortly .after the adoption of the Constitution j and that ia the year 1 795, a most elaborate aet of paper was publish d in a newspaper at llartford, Cona the joint production of an association of men of the .first talents and influence in the State, the object of which was to encourage the project of a separation, ana to foment the prejudices of the people ol New England against their bretiren of the Sou la ; An extract which he quotes from one of these papers U precisely in the style and temper of and incendiary Abolition address of the present day...- ' ' .r.

The. federal clergy of JlassacbusetU were then also in the field; proclamaing disunion, and some of tbem received Ike thanks ofthe Senate for their traitorous effusions. ' In the Masiachnsetts LerinUtore in 1805, a member exclaimed, "In a word I consider Louisiana tbe grave of the Union. . In 1811. on tbe bill for the admission of Louisiana as a State, Josiah Qainey, jr., said, a'id af ter being culled to order, committed his remarks to witing: -X .'--. . If this bill pa,, it is my deliberate opinion that it is a virtual dissolution of the Union ; that lfrce tht Slate from tieir marat obligations, and. aa it will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some definitely to prepare for a sepa ration, amicably if they can, violently if they must." John Quiecy Adams, in describing the Federal diaunionists of Massachusetts, says, among other reasons for dissolving on the annexation of Louisiana, was tbe following : That it was oppressive to the interests, and destructive to the influence of the Northern aera tion ot the Confederacy, whose right and duty it vas therefore to Secede from the body politic, and - j .. ' ia cmwvuic one oj ineir evon. ' Secession bere appears in propria persona and oy name, liut this :s not all. The New Enr- .i i ..... . . e iana people mea it atea something more monstrous and shocking Says Mr. Adams . That project that of the New Eogland Confederacy) I repeat, had gone the length of fixing upon a military leader for its execution; and although the circumstances ot the time never admitted of its execution, nor even of its full development, I yet had no doubt in 1803 and 1809, and have no doubt at this time, that it is the kev to all the great movements of these leaders nf the Federal party in New England from that time forward till its final catastrophe in the Hart ford Convention. In his celebrated Tetter upon the Hvtford Con vention of December 30. 1828. while President of the United States, Mr. Adams said i "This design of certain leaders of the Federal party (to effect a dissolution of the Union and the establishment of a Northern Confederacy) had been formed in the winter 6f 1803-4. imme diately after, acd as a consequence of the aoqui-eition of Louisiana. Its fastifriog causes to those who enjerfalned ere, that the annexation of Louisiana to the Union transcended the consti tational powers of the Government of tbe United States; tbat it formed, in fact, a new confederacy. to which the States united by the former Compact were not bound to adhere. This plan teas to far matured that a proposal hod been made to an in dividual to permit himself to be placed at the head of'the military- movements, which it was fore- teen would be necessary to carry it into execu i lion.": - ' - In the letter to Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Monroe shows that under tbe thrett of Eastern Federal ists to dissolve the Union if more Southern or Western Territory were added, he' yielded tQ Mr. Adams in the matter of tbe Florida treaty. Mr. Adams says that the design of a Northern Confederacy was formed as soon aa Louisiana was annexed. Mr. Monroe reminds Mr. Jeffer son of the early opposition securing the navigation of the river Mississ'ppi to the South west. Massachusetts was at the head of that conspiracy. The attempt to shot np tbe month of tbe Missis sippt "was ao eff irt Isays Mr. Monroe) to give such a shape to the Union as would secure the dominion over it to its Eastern section." " At tbat time,' he adds, Boston ruled the four New England States. A popular orator in Fannil Hall Harrison Gray Otis) rcled Boston. Jay's object was to make New York a New England Slate." : Mr. Moo roe then notices two snbseanent at tempts to cirenmacribe the Union the Uartford Qnlnvention, and the restriction of Missouri. On this issoe (the admission Missouri) he says they ther (th Entern Federalisu) were willing to rtsk tbe Union. The Biston Centnei. the Federal organ of the day. of November 12, 1803. ill confiroj Mr. Monroe s letter. To pay fifteen millions for Louisiana, in order to secure a place of deposits for Western prod nee, that paper exclaimed, was indeed insufferable, and it advo cated shotting up the Mississippi to the people "lest, if they have that, our New England lands would become a desert from the contagion of emigration." Mr. Monroe, in the -letter to Jefferson, says tha the Federal party "contemplated an arrange ment on the ditinclion solely betteeen slavcliolding and non-$lateholdmg Strifes, presuming that on that oasis only such a division mtohl be founded as leotild destroy, by perpetual excitement, the usual effect proceeding from difference in the pur suits and circumstances of the people, and mar snot the States, differing in that alone, in unceas ing opposition and hosttliftt to each other. X How prophetic and bow truly have the tra'tors . t ft as a in tne tbe punt ican ranks carried out this "irre pressible conflict" then sought tn be inaugurated, an amalgamation between the Republicans and Abolitionists to get np a Northern party, of which Massachusetts Republicans are to be the lead-era, and taking advantage of the excitement growing oat of the slavery agitation, draw the Democrats of the free States into their ranks, and thus marshal those States ia hostility to the Sooth, in order to break down the Ueraocraey and establish Federalism or Republicanism upon its ruins. - ' Tflit war or 1813. Passing over many facts, for want of spare, we sball content ourselves with a reference to tbe following as denoting tne hostility of New England to the war of 1812, which it deemed good eane for a dissolution ol tbe tToion i - Toe Boston Centinel, the Federal organ, as late as 1814, Dec. 19th, said : M Those who star-taat the danger of a separation, tell ns that the soil of New England is hard and sterile." Again, on the 17 th Dec, 1814, the Cent inel said : It is said that to make a treaty of commerce with the enemy is to violate tbe Constitution and to sever the Union. Are they not both already virtually destroyed f or in what stage of existence would they be, should we declare a neutrality or even withhold taxes and men ?n . : r Hfe we have both secession and onTlifieation proposed. Dot the most monstrous of all these New England schemes is to eoure. It is as follows $ ... .'-'".-' , The object of tbe leading Federalists in Massachusetts daring the war, was to establish a monarchy, with one of the royalfmSy of England eM its head. MrWallis seethe British Colonel Nichols told bim tha Naval Commander bad. hia orders to place Harrison Gray Otis at tbe bead of tha affair, until ihepleasurt of the Prince Regent was known. ': ; What that pleasure w to b, appears to have been already arranged. The British United Service Journal of May 1850,-ssys tbe object was to separate the Northern and Eastern and Southern and Western Slates, to establish a. lim ited monarchy tn the first aarred Sxates, placiae one of our princes of the blood on tbe throne ! ' The Ltavf h Republieans, the successors of this party, are eew endeavoring to ret, np ' a war araiost Sfwthern SUtes for practicing what New EnrTand orlghlated and preached secession . ..,-- - - a mi tne reaui w tpprwnun mnj trrannyi ineir predecessors sustained ti reso'&llon of Josiah Qnineyrn the last war with Great Britain tlSat rtlt notbeeotaiog a mora aad religiose people to rejoice over tbe victories of war" while they, with singular perversity, are bow anxious to inaugurate a fratricidal war, 'THE AKKEXATIOaT OF TEXAS. Texas was from tbe first a rock of offense to New England. Mr. Monroe, who regarded oar title to it as indisputable, was puyauaded by Mr. Adams to give it up to Spain by the treaty of Florida. The New England men threatened dissolution should Texas not be given up. Said Mr. Monroe, ia one of his letters on thia subject: M The difficulty is altogether internal and of the most distressing nature and dangerous tendency." ."-;':-:-:-" And what was that difficulty? Tbe Eastern Federal. sts menaced the Union if Mr. Monroe admitted Texas into the Union I Mr. Monroe was deterred by these menaces of disunion ! Mr. J. Q. Adams was ia his Cabinet and he knew the designs of the Boston Federalists. What their designs were Mr. Adams subsequently de veloped in his attack upon the Hartford Conven tion. : . This difficulty about Texas again broke out after the establishment of her independence, and when she applied for admission into the Federal baton. This developed afresh the sectionalism and secessionists of New England, and her we have to note a change of opinion on the part of Mr. Adams. He now makes his appearance as one of tbe New England agitators. Ia a speech on theoth of November, 1844, al Bridgwater, Mass., Mr. Adams said in relation to tbe annexation of Texn t The whole trans action was a tUgraut violation ot the isonstita tion. and its consummation had it been effected. would have been itself a dissolution of ibeUnioo." This was said after the rejection of the treaty aod before annexation by resolution to Congress.- In 1844. Mr. Adams and thirteen Congressmen issued a meet elaborate paper addressed "to the- people of tbe Free States of the Union." The National Intelligencer in which H appeared expressed reluctance in publishing it, ' because of the address which it bears to the people of a portion only of the United States." At a meeting in Milford, Mus-, on the 25th of March, 1844, violent secession resolutions were passed. 4 , ' . In March, 1845. the Boston Post said : ' By the annexation resolutions of the Whig Legislature, Massachusetts declares tbat she will go out of the Union if Texas comes in, or that at least she will nullify the act of annexation." The following is one of the resolutions offered by Mr. Bell, passed at its session in 1845 1 Resolved, That as the powers of legislation granted to Congress do not embrace the case of tbe admission of a foreign State or Territory by legislation Into tbe Union such an act would have no binding force whatever on the people of Massachusetts." Tbe Boston Atlas f on the 26th of December, 1844, says of the acnexaiion of Texas t Mr. King, a leading Republican, thus gives his opinion on secession : . . .

(annexation, of Texas.) John Q iincy Adams offered in the Hue of RpreseutaU'es, the 28ih of February, 1843, tbe following, among other resolutions t " llemoleed. That any attempt of the Government of the United States, by an act of Congress or by treaty to annex to this Union the Republic of Texas, or tbe people thereof, would be a vio lation of the Constitution, null and void, and to which the free States of this Union and their people ought not to submit" We might cite numerous other proofs if onr space allowed, but these are sufficient, indeed, to establish our proposition that sectionalism, diannionism and secessionists originated in the North in New Eoglaod and it appears now that her own discarded invention has returned to plague her. The very idea tbe remedy that she invented is now asserted by tbe South against her, her usurpation, her, tyranny and her aggressive Abolitionism. Consistency, decency, self-respect, common justice, should prompt her to desist from objurgation and reproach. At three several historical epochs has New England asserted the right of secession. She is uuv formost in tbe denial and denunciation of it, aud she opposes all foreign wars is now clamor ous for civil war. . Our citations occupy so much space tbat further comment is inadmissible. History is sometimes troublesome New England finds It especially so. Those wbo want an thority for disunion, sectionalism, secessionists, and those who want authority for. the political dogma that the Conatitution is a cohfaCT and that the Union is a PARTXtERSHir, will find their authority in the above citations.

This J w .- I . - n Union is a partnership of twenty-six States. Tbe following is also of that party : We shall certainly consider tbe annexation of Texas, or any other foreign State, to this country as a virtual diaeolation of the Union, and we apprehend that such a vast addition to our territory and ppulst"ron woald so far change the nature and circumstances of the connection, as to absolve the dissenting States from any for 1 her obligation under the original contract of Union." :' . John Ree, Lieut Governor of Sassaebosetta, on Augost 4, 1844, aaid s "' It mutt be understood that the free States will neither eoeseot nor submit to the annexation of Texas to this Uatow. Such annexation woald result in its dissolution. "Indeed annexation without provision in the Constitution and without consent, would be an absolution from the bonds and obligations of the Constitution."

Tie great people, whose pursuits or whose op portunities do not allow them to see more than" the surface currents, might as well be given to understand at once the powerful undertone that is sweeping from under them their personal free), dom, the rights of tbe States and their republi can government.

They will wake up ere long to tbe realixation of the sornd truth, but when it la too late to recover what despotism ahall have clutched in its iron bands. X write this as fact and prophesy. " It has already been asked: Why all these-State lines ? Why all this needle, cumber some, intricate entanglement of different 'powers to make law and decree judgment? W can afford now to efface the old Colonial Qeogrephyl It is the admitted powers of States' within the nation tbat has been tbe source of sjl our trouble. Nor will the removal of State power, end tbe creation of a Nationality, be a task so formidable." - . The idea is, to do away with State lines and with local State governments, and consequently with much of tbe elective franchise as now enjoyed by tbe people. In other words, the grand conception is, to make the Government of tho United States as near that of Great Britain as it is possible to get it. It is old Federalism with astounding monarchical additions, revived snd nnder very favorable auspices for its success. Yon must not suppose tbat this thing is not seriously entertained ; lor it is, and the conviction here is universal that the change is absolutely necessary, and will be made. A strong central government is now tbe cry ; and army and navy officers stroDgly favor it, because by the change they will become the upper crnst of society. The whole matter is openly discussed here and boldly advocated. Yon will learn from this, that tbe Democracy has before it the hardest battle if has yet fought in this country. It will be tore tain the largest share of personal libertf and rights as now enjoyed under tbe present Constitution. Tbey will fight nnder grat disadvantages, nnder the terrors of death and imprisonment. What the outcome may be, God only can telL For myself. I fear for tbe future. ; Congress will soon assemble. But ml bono f is asked by many. The New York Tribune ssvs it can do op all hecessarv business in a day or two. The Courier and Enquirer says all Congress has to do is to register the wishes of tbe President. Indeed, these leading Republican journals believe Congress will bean incumbrance. as tbe President, by assuming all tbe power oe-desirable for tbe exigency of the coantry, will not be hampered by legal restrictions. ; All.Cor-gresa is wanted for is to allow the Government to borrow what money, it may deem necessary, and to raise whatever number of troopa may bar regarded as desirable. It is also said that Con- . gresa will go into secret session to discuss tbe . question of conferring full military power on the President to raise and equip armies, declare martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus. As be has been doing this without authority of law, the question is gravely asked. What is the use of Congress? . t - - 'The err; tempt In which the RopremerCourt of the United Slates is held by the military, and " tbe usurpation of power by this la ter branch of the public service, and tbe violation of personal rights and "individual '. liberty, both North and South, are referred' to as an evidence that Republican freedom is dead, and only wants tbe formality of burial to bide it forever from the face of the Amer can people.
