• Washington Hunt and James Brooks of New York, appear to be on an itinerating Ui.ion-saving tour, in the empire State. They remind tis of the partners who traveled the country, one of whom was afflicted with the itch and spread it among the people, and the o'. ic-r followed, peddling u sovereign cure for the disease. At Rochester, however, the disease didn’t take! After the above named worthies addressed the people in public meeting, and endeavored to convince them that theij had it, the lullwing resolution was offered: Resolved, That we cannot too strongly rebuke the sentiment, that the election of a President by a constitutional majority, having views of public policy with which the minority do not coericide, would furnish just cause for the dissolution of the Union; we, on the contrary, hold inch .sentiments to be disorganizing and traitorous, odious to all patriotic and Union loving men, and disgraceful to the civilization of the age, and vve hereby give to our fellow-citizens, East, West, North and South, our most solemn pledge that whoever may be elected President of these United States, in a eonsutuMor il way, shall receive from us, in the la 1 ’ e! {‘itic ooges of his duties, the same w. eg obedience and energetic support to which we have given to each and all es his predecessors, and we hereby declare our firm and unalterable purpose to su.-t in and protect him in the lawful discharge of these duties from all enemies, within or without, at home or abroad. There was an effort to lay this resolution nri the table, but i; passed by a large majority and then the meeting adjourned.
