One rea son is that they nre still loyal to the Un ion. They have not left it, and but that others with whom they have natural ryin, pathies lmve left it, would still be willing to seek for rrdross of grievances in the provisions or the Constitution. Secession has never been n ready remedy proposed i ^,. n: . Secession with theminennssyra I W?'X ? "th the scceders.

The negro will recede before these more Intellectual workers to the south, to' the tropics, where he belong?. This process is going on now. It will continue should the Union be preserved. If will continue, though the ITniou be broken, if the border States remain with the north. But if they join the south they will no longer be a part of the northern Saxon's country, and -he will seek a home in the Rocky mountains, if necessary, rather than settle within their limits. It is therefore obvious that 'the true in terests of these States connect them with the North, and that these, iuterects do not depend <?u slavery, but-rather ion getting rid. of it.and of the negro They have every Inducement to unite themselves with progress rather thun .stagnation: with wealth -rather thau peverty; ^rith strength rather than weakness! The energetic, [ advancing' masses of the people, are in the North; (he great markets <so* essential to agriculture, the strong currents of busi ness and useful/activity are there; above all a prosperous future, over which hangs no dark cloud like .slavery and the negro, pmlnous of danger. In this healthful life movement the border States may partici pate, in .this beautiful prosperity they. u?ay share, and this glorious, future niay be come their Inheritance if they cjgjpose. P. C.
