UNION. i Ths greatest euemy this union lias' hitherto had has been sectionalism.1 .No one State has ever endangered the j the geueral government and the general government could not undertake! to endanger any one Stale without ex-! citing the ire of all. liut sectional-! ism, by which I mean the desire of! one section of the country composed! of several States, to either use, abuse j or destroy the general government fori the pur]K)>e of promoting ideas or in-j terests peculiar to that sectiou, has; proved, iy our history, to be the most; dangerous enemy to the system ofj government which makes the Ameri-j can union. This sectionalism has as-' sutned its most dangerous form when-! * ever it has been organized into geo-' graphical parties and distinctions. ' Washington saw this spirit of section-] alis n even in the midst of ihe revolu-; tioM. He saw it during his ad minis- j nation. TIIK OUIG1N OF SECTIONAL PARTIES. \ It came near destroying the system ' on several occasions during his admin-i istration. And in his farewell dddressj he warned his countrymen, jti the. strongest terms, against cue iormnuon of parties on geographical lines, ideas j and distinctions. 1 am dealing to-day with history and mere parlies. But] necessurially history involves parties' audi shall state nothing but what history proves to be true, and follow-, ing up tliis history with my argument I state tnat the first sectional parly ev-i -er organized in America upon geo-' .graphical lines and ideas and directly contrary to Washington's warning, i was the Republican party of the North. That party, twenty-one years ago, organized upon a geographical basis, upon sectional ideas and for sectional purposes. Its organization was confined to the Northern States. It hadj no organization in any Southern Stale ; j it expected none and desired none, be-: cause its animating spirit of sectional-j isin was animositv to Southern irmri-! tutions. Therefore, it could be no other than a sectional party organized i ou a geographical line to promote ideas J peculiar to one section against proper-! ty peculiar to the other section- That! .sectional party provoked into exist-i ance naturally a Southern sectionalparty, one antagonizing the other, j The last sectional party took its name : as the Southern rights or secession, party. Xo\v a party is not less section- j .al because it remains in the union, be-: cause the very worst and unmanly j form of disunion is that which seeks' to hold on to the government of the! uuion for the purpose of accomplishing sectional objects *nd thereby destroying the system on which the union was founded. [Applause.] "Whatever else may be said of seccs JSJ W II auu A wnvcut. * k- CiO M, mUHiK'3^ ?it was at least manly und direct. It scorned to use the union to promote sectional ideas. It would not violate the constitution in the name of loyalty. It would not hold the government to sell itsolfiees. It was unwise and auicidal but atill brave and manly. the antagonisms leading to wak. Now, when these two sectional par-j ties organized, one in the .North and the other in the South, you will ob-,! aerve the results. The antagonisms; <wf these two sectionai parties coutinu- ; J tf\ i n/'i'tinuo ii'riluMfifi instil ! followed and war was waged. Then, j xuy fellow countrymen, here in tiie grand poiut to which I want to call .your attention now. It is this, tliati Uie late war was between two sectional parties. Tl?e union represented by that tlag was no party Lo tiiat war save] as a weeping, bleeding victim ! LAp-1 jpbtuse.] True, after the leaders of each sec- i tional party got controlof their respective sections to such an extent that that war resulted, the union people ol .each section went into the armies of their respective seclious, and neither -ought to be blamed for that. Thousands here who had 110 sympathy with secession, went into the service of the sectional party of the South, against a sectional party ^orth, but they did not go into it to striee at a jsinyie principle represented by that .flag. [Applause.] Thousands, hun<ireds-of thousands of jiatriotic .Northern men who had no sympathy with the original sectional organization that | Jed them, when the crisis came went! biavelv into the light as they honestly i believed for the Union, and they acted jiatnotically and nobly, and we cheer-! Juily concede to them pensions, and ali the benefits oftheiranparent union : position, U<acli title did what it thought right in standing up to its own j *ivle ill the sectional war. Thousands | in both armieH, while slaying each I other in a sectional fight, would have given their li ves for the true common I .American Union. Our Northern | fryj-u,l,> lmd tluit great advantage of I lK'ing in possessioi > f the'governmcn!, nit advantage whicli 11 icy reaped more i from our own folly than their ?>w;i j wisdom, ami they used that govern-1 incut to help to accomplish their sec-1 lional purposes, and that was tiie great1 advantage they had of u,s. nothing to jl's'j'ikv iuk acjita-i i ion. There was nothing in slavery which ! could ju>iil'y t lie North in forming a j sectional party to cripple or destroy it j and there was nothing in shivery! which could justify the South in leaving the union to maintain it. [Aj:-; plause.] There was 110 right in flee-} ilom Contrary to the constitution, and j there was no safety for slavery out ??l tlie union. The whole African race,! whether slaves or free, were nol worth 1 the American union. One hour of| ! American union has done more for hu- j man progress than all the governments formed by the negro race 111 six thou-J sand years! [Great applause.] Ami j the dear noble boys of the while race,, I North ami South, who fell in the late j j war, slaying each other for the negro were worth more to civilization hud; human happiness than the whole Af-j rican race of the world ! [Great ap-j plause. J tiik cot.okkd man. We will do justice to the colored i man. We arc under the very highest I obligation of a brave manhood to do! justice to the negro, lie is not onrj equal.

[Loud applause.] We have shed more white blood and wasted' more white treasure in four years over the liberties of the negro in these I States, than the entire nefr> race o.! the world have shed and wasted for' their own liberties in all the iigos of! the world ! And all at the bidd n : of j sectional demagogues who still cry for more! [Sent-ation.] THK PASSIONS OF SECTIONAL 1IATK. I We have buried, widowed and or- I phaned one white person for every colored person, old and young, male | [and female, in America; "and yet there are hundreds of demagogues I now haratigueing the honest, deluded I masses of the Noith, seeking to keep : themselves in power by keeping alive i the passions of sectional hale at the I hazard of every right, and of every ' liberty intended to be preserved and protected by our American union! How .ong, oil, how long shall this madness | continue and successfully usurp thel places, to disgrace the functions of el-; evjited statesmanship! Above all the din of these sectional j tjiiarrclings 1 would raise my voice and proclaim to all our people that there is no right or liberty for any race of any color in America save in the! preservation of that great American ! union according to the principles sym-j boled by that flag. Destroy the gen-j eral government and the Stales will1 rush into anarchy. Destroy the Stales; and we will all ri s!i inio* despotism and slavery. 1*reserve the general government; preserve the States,; and . preserve both by keeping each unlram- i meled in its appropriate sphere, and, we shall preserve the rights and liber-1 ties of all sections aud of ail races for' all time. THE QUESTION* OF SLAVERY. But extreme men in both sections insisted upon settling the issues of slavery by force, and in this fell spirit j both the sectional parlies were organized. And uoon this line of force, so contrary to every principle of our con-j stitutional system tlie issues have been j well led, but at what a fearful cost. We have wasted in money and the de- j struction of property fifteen billions of j dollars. We have-slain one million of j our own sons, brothers and lellow-cit- [ izeus. We have made one million off sorrowing widows, and two millions j of weeping orphans, and still the rage; of sectional hate and passion goes!' Oil. j On the other hand suppose thisqnes- j tion of slavery had been treated as every other question settled by our con-! stitution had been treated?in a spirit; of amity and of mutual deference and ' concession. Every slave had his mar-', ket value. The South could not have been wronged by receiving that mar- : ket value, because that was her due. The North could not have been wronged in paying that market value, for it was an obligation justly due under the : recognition of property in slaves by I the eonxlitution. * j "And by this plan of wisdom and; justice and peace every slave could j, have been set free, at a cost not exceed-: j ing one-tenth of the value destroyed; by the conflict of force, and without]' one drop of blood ami without one] hour of war. And what was in the] way of this plan ? Nothing, nothing; but an unreasoning sectionalism. Suppose we concede, for the argu- " ment, that slavery was a wrong- if] you please, a crime! The black man is the only portion of our population that came here involuntariaily. The Northern fathers captured him a bar- i barian, in Africa, reduci-d him to sla-' very, brought him to America, and our, Southern fathers bought him. If that was a crime, were not all our fathers parties to it? Was not litre a field for . charity and mutual concession? Ho again if slavery was a crime, thai j crime was repeated when it yas rccog-' nized as property in the Constitution.! Who made the recognition ? Not only i the Northern fathers; not only .South-' ern fathers, but all onr fathers! Was not here again a field for mutual defer-; eiicc and concession ? The resolve to manumit the slave by I force was the greatest of all possible! crimes in our dealings with the negro, j It was that fell spirit that organized! the sectional parties and precipitated! the war which threatens to cost us all' in the final destruction of our Ameri-j can union. Who shall be aide to de- ; scribe the fearful judgment which an unimpassioned and impartial posterity : shall pronounce upon the weak, wayward, wicked ^statesmanship that could not and would not emancipate; the black race without destroying and imperiling everything of right, prop-j erty or liberty belonging to the \\ bite j race. JCRUSH OCT SECTIONALISM. i Fellow-citizens I have stated but] j cannot often repeat, lhatall the curses we have sutl'cred originaled, nut in ad- j hereiice to the. principles of our union, j luit iu a departure from those prinui- i pies. >To symbol in the flag above us either taught the war, or can justify) the war. .Sectionalism at the South has been utterly crushed out by the war. Secession if* dead and can have no resui'ection iu the South. Jt now remains for every patriot, North and South, to unite and crush out the only remaining sectional narty?that grim} visaged parent of ail sectional parties| ?the sectional Republican party of! the North, with the ballots of Ircemen. , [Immense applause. J Then we ' have peace; then we shall have union | ?cordial, equal union; then we shall t have American system of government! ment in all the plentitude of its glory I and power, and every ample for the protection of the lilV. liberty and oro-i perty of ever scctiou North and!

I YELLOW FEVER IX CIIALItliS-1 TUN. " |, A Prompt ami Candid Statement of; J the Tacts l'roiu the Jloaril of Health. At a special meeting of the hoard of health, held yesterday, the committer on epidemics, hygiene and sanitary jj regulations submitted the following|J report, which, on motion of .Dr. Lebbv, was adopted, and the secretary directed to have the same published in 1 the eit}' journals: KEPOIIT. The committee on epidemics, hygiene and sanitary regulations beg leave to present the following report to the board of health. It is with extreme regret that we an- I nounce to the board the fact that yellow fever has niade its appearance in ' our city. We were greatly in hopes i that the season wns so far advanced that wc would be spared a visitation j from this much dreaded disease. In . this we have been disappointed. Up to the present dale three deaths have \ occurred in the city from yellow fever, one of which was on board a vessel at quarantine. This vessel loaded for a foreign port at Marshall's wharf, near the eastern terminus of Calhoun ? ?- J ?l,n Siri't'l, llllll, vy 111 It: I llfc 111 HIV ovivmu ready for sea, tlie mate was taken sick, and the case was reported to the health oflicer, by the attending physician, as yellow fever, on Saturday, the Kith inst. The vessel was immediately ordered to quarantine, where the case terminated fatally on the 17th instant. There are a small number of cases under treatment, mostly confined to the eastern part of the city, near the terminus of Hasel, Wentworth and Calhoun streets. As to the origin of the disease we cannot now speak definitely, but the subject will be thoroughly investigated. In order to secure and maintain the confidence of a community the official bodies representing the various interests of the community should strictly and faithfully redeem every pledge rh?.t has beeu made. Truth and duty constitute the only basis of notion under all circumstances, however conflicting private interests may seem at the time. This board has pledged its honor an (I veracity that as soon as a case of yellow fever occurred in our city it should be announced. The time has arrived, in the opinion of the committee, for the redemption of that pledge, so that each one may act in the premises as is most compatible with his social obligations and business relations. As it is late in the season, and it will require a much larger number of cases before the disease can become epidemic, we are justified in expressing the hope that we may reach cold weather before prevalent much beyond its present limits.. The committee would earnestly urge the city authorities to the renewed activity in the use of every means that can be brought to bear upon the sanitary condition of the city. The committee would also respectfully urge upon the citizens calmness and deliberation, I avoiding all precipitate action and undue excitement. Above all let there be no stirring up of strife, avoid all controversy upon mere matters of opinion, but, with one heart and one voice, unite in one harmonious and earnest effort to promote the comfort and happiness of the entire community All of which is respectfully submitted.

It Exists iu an Epidemical Form, Hut of a Mild Type. For several clays rumors have reached us of the prevalence of yellow fever in Brunswick, Georgia, and at last the distressing news is confirmed. At a meeting of the city authorities, physicians and citizens, held on Sunday morning, it was agreed by all the physicians that the fever existed there in epidemic form, hut of a type that readily yields to treatment when ta-j ken iu time. As far as could be ascertained, there were somewhere be-i tween seventy and ninety cases in the' city, and three deaths had occurred. The physicians have advised all who ratii tr?*L ttwav to do so. C'aptaiii Grant very kindly furnishes the Macon Tckyrajj/i with the following reports, which are ollicial: Bkikswick, September 17th, 1870. John A. Grant, Superintendent? low you have this morning's report of the health of this place: "The city physicians and hoard of physicians of Brunswick pronounce; the yellow fever in a mild form epidemic in the city of Brunswick." [Signed] T. E. DAVENPORT, Mayor. J. R. BOSTWICK, Chairman Sanitary Board. The Board cf Health reportod officially to the Mayor that upon careful | inquiry they find there had been three) deaths during the past week ending j nine (9) a. m. One from relapse bil-j ious fever, one from bilious lever, and j one, colored, from syphilis. This; mortality is a very light one at this! season of the year in a population of three thousand, by the last census. The City Physicians know of but one death since that report to this hour. II.

As id well known, frost puts! a sure stop to its ravages, and that we may Lielore long expect to have. The leports of yellow fever ut Baltimore arc unfounded. They have heen circulated by ignorant alarmists, who exaggerated a malarial fever, to which I Baltimore is always liable, by reason of the low ground and bad drainage of a portion of the city, into this terrible iiisea.se. Baltimore does not suffer from yellow fever. The World has obtained the views of our leading health otlicers on this subject of yellow fever, and they substancially sustain what we say above. Dr. Klisha Harris, lately Registrar ofj Vital Statistics?not the safest authority, by the way?holds up the bugbear of possible yellow fever for us in| the spring, if the winter proves so milil ns not to kill it ofl" at Savannah.
