WHAT ARR WE TO DO,

One DAY. the Republicans are hercely charged
Nth dsloyaliy to the Union, and in proof OF THIS
are cited the Disunion uttersnees of Wendell
Phillips. LLOYD Garrison, Parker Pillsbury, &c
not one of whom ever gave Republican vote, 'or
even pretended TO be Republican, while, on the
contrary, they have missed no opportunity to de-
fame and denounce us. We explain, for the
bupdredth time, that We have nothing IN
common with the Garisonians but our
dislike Of Human Slavery-that their modes
of thought and Of action, their view Of the
Constitution and their remedies for existing
evils, are radically diverse from our. They de-
nounce the Constitution and would sever the
Union; We uphold the Constitution and stand by
the Union. And when are menacingiy told
that the South will dissolve the Union If we do
not give up our hostility to Slavery Extension, we
answer that ros shall not dissolve The Union, and
do not mean TO let others dissolve it.
Then you threaten Us, do you - busters the
OligaIcby ptrsonating the South No, We do not
threaten; We Only repel threats. When We sre
told that We must not vote for such President Us
we Ike, for if We elect him the South viii break up
NN~N
is easier said than done Only look at the reason
of the thing. Suppose we should elect the next
President that BY no means puts the Government
unreseryedy into our hands. The Senate would still
be against us, and we could not pass an act
without its concurrence. The Supreme Court
would still be eight TO one against us, and could
annul any unconstitutional actor one that its
party saw ct to pronounce such-that We might get
through the Senate. The Army and Navy are
more than ten to one against Us. AL the present
Post,nasters-an army Of twenty five thousand-are
against us. If we were to choose President next
year. the prepoDderance Ct power would remain
with our adversares for months, if not for years.
And yet We are told that, if we beat them next
Fall, however fairly, they will break up the Union
If rce were to talk thus, it would be stgmatized as
treason: bow comes it that the same language in
the mouths of our sdyersaries is accounted
patriotisml

Is the meeting at the Academy of Music to be
Union meeting, or the opposite That is ques-
ton which those concerned in il would do well to
ponder with some attention Ifthey intend 10 en-
dorse and adopt the latest theory of the Democratic
party as expounded 10 Congress, we warn them that
they viii be regarded by the public at large as Dis
unionsts Of the worst species. Men in this latitude
may differ in their opinions about John Browns
raid; but If will not DO to threaten here, with the
representative Democrats in Congress, that if that
party Is beaten in 1860, they viii at once overset
the whole fabric of our Republican institutions.
Nor viii the country be satisfied with any milk-and
water resolutions on that subject Il will not do
for you to dwell with great severity on the indiydu
al outrage OF John Brown and his twenty colleagues,
and TO pass lightly over the revolutionary ayowals
of the Democratic leaders in Washington. Speak
out then gentlemen! Let US know whether you
Ike treason when propounded by Democrats in the
interest Of Slasery, and only hate il when under
taken in the interest OF Freedom. Are you really
lovers Of the Union, or only traitors in disguise

It's announced that the Hon. Daniel L. Ticmann

Of their act They were rebuked aud repudated'
Mr.. Sanford t. Church, their candidate for Con-
troIler. who was one Of these delegates, being
beaten BY nearly $1,000 majority. Terribly cha
crined at their defeat in the State, the Soits and
semi.Softs fell back upon the Mayoralty election
in this CITY, and made desperate effort to retrieve
their position in the triumph of Havemeyer The
success of Wood in that contest, Is not merely the
defeat of Themselves and hcyictory OF the man whom
they hate above all others but il renders il certain
that. as things row stand, the Wood Hards viii
b. far more potent a. Charleston than the Seymour
Dickinson Soits. Indeed, il has become plain to
the Regency that, unless something can be done to
restore their pres ige, they VIII have TO get on
their knees 10 Wood TO obtain admission into the
Convention for even one-half their delegates.
Looking about for some plank ON which to save
themselves from utter shipwreck, the Regency
have seized upon our Union-saSing meeting as the
only chance for retrieving their losses in the State
and Municipal elections, and obtaining political
capital enough TO warrant them in appearing at the
bar Of the Convention as petitioners for admission
We doubt whether this Union dodge Will save the
Softs The Fire Eaters viii rule the National Con-
venton. They have no relish for such milk-and-
water sentiments rs emanate from these Union
saving meetings. They demand strong meat
If Gov. Seymour hopes to make plea at
the Academy next Monday that will help

deal in specOus generaies and shining sOPhistres,
as is his won't but mus, without stint or nlisgiying
