year MIR. Buchanan's most active and Jealous
supporters, with Toombs and Stephens at
their head, will blossom out into full-grown
Disunionists, and will either constrain the
President to tolerate their schemes or will
become his open and bitter enemies. In eli.
ther case, they will call out and build up a
Conservative Union party in the Southern
States, which will have Wise, Bell, Cri.ten-

and the combined Opposition Of The North

We have had one Union party arrayed against
the Abolitionism Of the North; we shall soon
have another against the Disunionsm of the

We believe most of the Abolitionists will

number of them that would be found capable
of the dirty work the editors Of the Union
are daily doing. The Warrington Union
nourished and sustained by the government
and the papers that follow its lend, have

soilism and propagate ant-slavery sentiments,
than the most open.mouthed Abolition prints
Of the North, and il is about time the South

fails to follow the leaders of modern demo.
