Traitors 10 the IInion.

!
Withinthe last eight or zen mOnthi, tht
advocates Of the present Fusion movement
and the enemies Of the government have be
come exceedingly bold IN the avOwal q
their sentiments and designs. For the ben
eft of our readers we make few quotations.
: Ata convention in the ci,y Of New York no,
long since
Wendell Phillips said -
"Tbe Union sentiment is the great vortex
which swallows up the great minds, and they
have power enough for the time being to in.
Auence the people. The only remedy for
the slave is the destruction Of ths 9oprrnment
challenge any man toteil me what the
Union has done for u.s." -'
Vim. Lloyd G arrison proposed the follow
ing resolution: a5,,E5
"Resolred, That the-on grand vital issue
to be made with theslaye power, is the'dis-
solution, of the existing American Union."
Henry C.'Wright spoke to the resolution
and said ..f. rFgsss aEs5.E asfa (
81 like that resolution very much. This
country denies God, or If ii relieves in God.
/ do not. The CHRISTIAN GoD is THE MOST
Accused OF DEMONS. No MANS RIGHTS
CAN BE ASeERTAINED BY REFERENCES TO A
BIBLE, Law, OR A Cons rTUTION. | don't
care that (snapping his ingers) for any such
book or Constitution, when the question Of
liberty or slavery is to be considered. The
only thing of importance is that the mass of
the people venerate the Constitution. We
should dendeavor to do away with this. /
THANK GoD THAT AM a TRAITOR TO THAT
CONSTITUTION. | THANK Con ALSO THAT
AM AN lEFIDEL TO THE POPULAR. RELIGION OF
THIS COUNTRY AND OF ALL cHRIs1EHDOM."
The'HonaE Edmund Quincy said that :"The
Constitution displayed the ingenuity of the
very devil, and that the Union ought to be
dissolved"
While the Nebraska Bill was pending in
Congress, Horace Greely the editor of the
New York Tribune used the following Ian
guage: g. .i bee "a.
"Better that confusion should ensue-bet-
ter that discord should reign in the National
Councils--better that Congress should break
up in wild disorder, nay, hetterftaat the capi-
tol itSey should blaze by ts torch Of the incen-
diary, or fall and bury all its inmates beneath
its crembIing ruins, than that this perfdy and
tcrong be finally accomplished" ..- ...I
Such is the language of that great Prince
and leader Of the Fusion party of the North.
How do the men of that party like their
captain! Are they willing to follow the
standard of disunioR;; willing to be lead;by
a man who would "burn the national capi-
tol even though its inmates were buried be-
meath its crumbiing ruins! . Fl.
We appeal to the candid judgment of ev-
cry honeat citizen to whatever party he may
belong, whether this course of treason to
The government and reckless denunciation
Of the constitution andlaws,w ever, OF can
ever produce any good results. Is it love of
liberty or country, which prompts men to
he utterance of such sentiments! No. On
he contrary it is hatred of both. When
Iorace Greedy or any other Fusionst advo-
,ates these doctrines he does fatal injury
% the cause of human progress; he helps to
overthrow rather thantto build up liberal and
republican institutions. let our fellow citi-
zens bear in mind the object and purpose of
The Fusion party as fully declared by its ad-
5ocates and leaders in the North
