The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-09-03

the toe frequent and t1oushtless habit Of ex
pressing Indifference to the fate Of The Union
and the constitution, and to sheer at those WI
would preserve both inviolete. In the voca
bnlary of fanatics, north and south, 'Unio
saver, Is a Term Of reproach, and TO charae
terise {, man By that title is to point him out 70
the hostility of those who, Ike Mr.. Banks, ar
willing to t.let the Union slide," upon cond
ten that the5' get into Office. Even Mr.. Fill
moreis coatefnptuously termed BY some ofthes
modern patriots "a Union saver!" What doe
such eonducr signify? It demonstrates con
clusiFely thatthose who indulge in these sueer
ut the friends OF the Union, are really The enc
mics Of the Union itself, and are secretly soil
citous for its destruction. Many Of these fan
: aties are holder, and openly proclaim such sen
timents AS al example, Chase, the leader o
Black rpublcanism in Ohio who last year IN
bluslingly asserted there could be ''no unior
with the south, and on the 29th June last re
peated the Same idea in letter to the origina
tors of u Kansas meeting. in New York-Mr
Banks who would ..let Inc Union slide"-tbe
reverend doctor Beecher. who thinks the ICON
stitltion is . compact with slavery Mr.
! Gardner, who thunders forth without conceal
ment his hostility to the Union Fit men to
preach Gisunion. But those we are now deal
ing wills Enthusiastically indicate that, though
they are noE hostie 10 the Union, vet they
would rather DESTROY than be defeated in their
| aspirations after power and Office. Such men,
no less than the others, are enemies to their
country. and should be looked upon as dis
unionists We, as Americans, are opposed to
all such fanatics and frankly own that we are In
favor OF ''the unaon-now, and forever, one and
Iinseparaile.' We do not boggle, with the mer-
ceDary spirit of a huckster over the glorious
and sacred inheritance of our patriot fathers.
A voice rises from the Hermitage tomb pro-
claiming. s+tae onion. it must and shall be pre-
served" Let US stand by the constitution, and
the Union will forever bea our ancestors be-
queathed it 10 Us "a noble legacy to love and
reverence fotevermore. Let US stand BY the
Union, and guard it from every rude assault, as
We would the monuments over the graves Of
our fathers. Let us ever be ready to listen and
hear it e1tol3ed, its glories spoken, its future
promises anrolled; but let US be equally ready
Indignantly to strike down the arm that is lifted .
against, and to silence the tongue, which with
demagoguish argument, would deprecate, or
coldly calculate its value.
A well informed friend, whose acquaintance
extends throughout the parish of Bossler, writes
10 US as follows: Zone word in relation to the
presidential election. Whatever may be the
strength Of the American party in Bossier, RELY
upon one thing, that it will be given to Fill
more. The boys are all in harness, like troop
IF horses in Pharo's chariot, all will pull. and
pull together" The fabricatons and untruths
by the anti-Americans cannot de-
'elve our people, nor can they be made to be-
ieve in the immaculate patriotism of that newly
ound northern man with southern principles -
ames Buchanan. The man whose principles =
n respect to slavery create such great admira-
ion in the bosom of Martin Van Buren-the
ather offreesoilisn,-thath he openly adopts and ,
ndorses them as his own, cannot be imposed i
pom honest thinking people. Primus had bet =
er mind his eyes, to prevent them being put
ut By the eHuEia arising from his own breath" L
