Black HepuDlcan love Oh the Un1Ons
In speech recently made by Mr.. Speaker Banks,
in Massachusetts,, he said:
There is only one remark made in anticipation of tina:
success which hope to attain, and which enemies
cncede great measure Will come to u.s. and that is that
the Union States will be dissolved whenever that
era shall have been commenced. am friend of the Union

thought except that of the highest veneaon and deepest
love the Union of these States. Long it continue

The Union was not formed, nor can it be MAIN

that should perish the Union will perish with it
Neither can the South be "subjected." 1t will be
the equal of the North in the Union, or independent
out of it. No true man in the South fears Mr..
Banks and his associates, who aiming to pos

they uW possess it. We all trcmble for the Union;
but we have no apprehensions, if the shock should

Declarations of love for the Union, furnish, in
themselves, proof Of real regard for it, of

y of the black Republican leaders are the loudest
in their protestations of love for the Union !'-
They so much attached to it that they will not,
in any event. permit its dissolution They love :"

Subject them-that is, risit them Nth fire and

selves the friends of the Constitutional rights of the
South by voting for the Kansas Nebraska act 1t
existed in that region for a brief space, and then
abotionism swallowed or controlled it, so that now,
with few honorable exceptions, to be Know
Nothing in the free States is to be aboonist or
black Republican. Mr. Banks is Know Nothing
as much as he is black Republican; and the two
clements combined made him Speaker of the House.
