Another sIni0n Man.

Two three weeks since gave to readers
Stewards John Van Burens, c. NJ. Clay's, and Horace
Greeley's announced fealty to this GLORIOUS Union.
Here's another of the same Sort, presented to the
reader in the form ola letter from Charles Sumner the
Senator elect for Massachusetts, accepting the posi-
ton 1t may be said that Sumner is an aboltionist
admitted-he is a Union nevertheless But he is
Ultra ; admitted-but he is a Union man never
theess. Now in what does he differ from the Union
man in Mississippi Let us see.
Mr.. Charles Sumner is an abolitionist-hc is not for
meddng with slavery in the States-he protests that
government ought to prohibit its extension into new
terrtory-so does Clay and some Mississippi Union
He favored the abolition of the slave trade in
the District of Columbia-Mississippi Union men ia
that by endorsing it by acquiescence and
defence. He favored the admission of California with
clause in her constitution excluding slavery Union
men in Mississippi endorse that act by acquiescno in
and defending it. He favors the idea that the Mex
lean laws exclude slavery from the territories of New
Mexico and Utah. Those Union men who advocate
the opinion that those laws are not in force and Sis
tain those who spoke against and voted against pro-
position to annul them, lend to Mr. Sumner the advan
tage of all doubts the question: and that is almost
equal to an exclusion. Mr.. Sumner declares that he
will dscountenance every effort to loosen any of the
ties of fellowship between the States and vet he avors
the same measures the Union men do demanding only
the abrogaton of certain clauses in one law which by
the way Congress has Alright to amend or repeal be-
cause repeal ofthe law of 1850 revives the law of IT.
49, and it is evident the South has no right to complain
at law she lived 81 years under and one too enacted
by our fathers and countersgned by the father of his
country, Gen. George Washington. The fact is if we
look at this thing closely will be seen that the Massa
chusetts Senator is better Union than the Mississippi
Union Senator man is: He will not declare for dssoIu-
ton he fail but the Mississippi Union man declares for
dissolution if Congress do more than it has an un
denable right to do. Sumner is a true Union man
he believes in its indssoubilitv and he is not of that
tame school OF Unonism that puts the hazard
the Congressional exercise of certain right We
are dsinclned to put the issue of Union and Dsnion
on matter non-essental the modification of the
law OF 1850 Its repeal revives the law of 93, and if
those Union men at the North are sincere, they will
see that the South have justice done her. On the
whole, Summers letteris quite Unonish. Read it..
