Hitherto, men belonging to the Demo
cratic party have been able to claim TO be
friends Of the Constitution and the Union.
That cannot be the case much longer
The purpose now avowed hy leaders of that
party, aud not rcbukcd by any of its or
ganS or any of its principal men, is that if
they are beaten in an election, they will
break up the Union. This avowal, let it be
remembered, comes from no little knot Of
traitors like John Browns seventeen white
men and five negroes, but from the repre-
sentativcs Of the great party which now
controls the Federal Government Can
such party be sustained by any man who
loves hls country, and would save its libcr-
ties from dcstruction? Let us put down all
DiSuniouistS, aud chief among them, the So
called Democracy!-TriJne.

folk correspondent gives full account of

finding n verdict in accordance with this
view OF the case, there seems 10 be little

Pretty fellows those Southern fire ca
tcrs' are TO threaten q dissolution of the
Union when, "down South" they can't
make gun-barreI, pistol-lock or grain
of powder! But nature yields large
hemp crop! So that, if they shall play
the traitor in earnest, the people can use
what is produced to put an end to the re-
bellon.-AHany Jour.
