If there ii one error in tl>o calculation: ; of our southern brethren mom laiul thnu ; any other, it is.'thal in case of hostilities j herwevn the two sections, they would have a divided North 10 contend witfi It u . true, that, during ao exciting political cam. . paign. like the !a*t. the uninitiated night j rappore than an everlasting etnnitr was engendered, likely to produce hostilities' I when »-no party was compelled to suffer de- , feat. as one or the oiher always mn«t : but ' past experience, and especially the exper- j ier.cn of the present trying crisis. has pro v. ed that this I* alt unmistakable error. It t is only a war of words, which end*, usually, j with tho election. In the present instance. I it ts true, this verbal warfare »»' kept up. ; to n consi-lerabie extent, owing to lh.i pe- , collar circumstance* of the c**e ; fend the ; Hpuih. from llwu fact*, were lead into the ! fetal error, that the North was tenicdilessly I antagonistic, aad tl.at, if an attempt wai \ made by the pre'i-ut Administration to en- ! force the laws, civil war would cr.su* in our j midst. They seem to have taken it for • grunted, that the Democratic party, ope. ; cially that part of it which snpportod thBreckioridge ticket, would take part with j them, in an hostile struggle ; and that, if matters wuro not so and so. money cauld not l»o obUiued for Goveminent > purposes. And even at ' the North, there wore aomn doubts and fears on these points; but fpcts, ai they are every day transpiriug. provo that these doubt* and fears were groundless ; and that the miiUke of the South was a woeful on>\ The South did not understand the true character of the North ; nor did tho men of the North fully understand tbeir own character, till put to the test ; and to-day. the perfect unanimity of the North « a;*on- ' dor to ourselves, and a terror to our traitor ; brethern of the South ; and wo firmly be- j lieve, that if the South could have known . the true state of the ca«e at the North, be- i fore they took the fatnl leap, and commit j ted themselves to treason and i evolution. ) -|hey would not so recklessly have rushed I * inlb their present, unenviable position. \ The different parties at the North may ■ wage a warm, political war of word* ; but when an enemy, either from within or without, strikes at their liberties and their Institutions, they rise as one man to condemn and punish the invader. Jl era* n sad day to lilt traitorous cause of tho South, when they assailed, with booming cunnun the «turn and stripe*, the prnnd ensign of our national greatuew. That dishonor done to our flag, when they trampled it inglorion*ly under their unliallows d feet, only knit lli^ hearts of the North together, like David and Jonathan, a* the heart of one malt At that watchword. all party lin<-» w.-rc obliterated, alW party enmities fnigoitetf, and notbfu* know a but Oca Conrrat. The people rose ! tn motet, protflaiming. In thunder tones, ! with united voice, terror to lraitoit. It is certainly a pleating sight, to wit- j ness such men at Hon. Stephen A. Doug I las, oue of the candidate* fur tho Presiden. i cy in the late campaign, coming forward, and standing sido by side with Ins successful opponent, in support of the constituami tho laws. Gov. Spragao of Uhodo Island, who was elected by tho Democratic voles or that slate, tenders more than hi* quoto of men. and then places himself at their bead, sod marches for the dufence of j the Capital. The Democratic candidate for Governor of New Hampshire, notwithstanding bis defeat, at a recent meeting bold in that stale, pledges th* cooperation of the entire thirty ihuua.'l whe voted fur him at the lost election, f>- it..- Support of the government. Ex- Presidents <utd Vice Presidents. Governors, and ex-Guv-renors ; Senator*, Congras«mi<n, I-egisl'i-tor*. and every man in every rank and of •very party, stand tide by side, as if n<> party difference* had ever existed ; and if there is any party mora delermiaad than another in the defence of the country, and j more bitter in their condemnation of the j Southern conspiracy to overthrow it, it i* j the Democratic parly. They have bottled j fur the Sontn. urging every measure for tb-« i protection of their peculiar institution ; ' and now, when, with truitoruu* band, they ' atrike *own our flag, and trail it' with dis- | honor in the dust, their indignation knows j no boaods. Men from all the Northern i State*, of every party, shoulder their mux- j ketr, %od offer their service*, really to die j l

of men more than have been called lor, | have thrown themselves upon the altar of < thuir -country, to defeud its fights, or die in - • the conflict. And as to money, there ii no want of it, j i not* ilk- landing the deplorable condition ' 1 of the Federal finance*. a few months ago. : Tlu-re wa* a time, but recently, a ben many thought tlmt money could scarcely be ob- j i tawed for the common expense* of Hbe j Government, except nt exhurbitunt rate* . i hut now. when the patriotic L. aits of the ' 1 mooted meu- are touched, money is offered ' ■ to the Government, both asduuutiuns, und 1 as loans, cu the most reasonable terms, hv , millions.
