he room for reasonable doubt but that
the rank and file Of that party is strain
ing every nerve to consumate the dlvls-
ion Of the Northern and the Southern
States. They would make the good dec
laration Of their chosen leader,and set up
wal of partition between the free and
slave States, thereby rendering In twain
the most powerful country, the most Ia
vored nation which ever existed beneath
heavens broad canopy. by informed
ding and interfering with the affairs OF
the South by. countenancing maraud-
ing incurslons and laudIng the acts and
prote citing the persons Of the abolition
thieves, by declaring in States that a
Southerner should not claim his
own, or if he attempted it he did SO at
his extreme peril, by tannts aud threats,
lbes and jeers, notification and overt
acts, they have succeeded at last IN mad
dening the Southern people to that de-
gree of desperation which il will be
found difficult to stay, or withstand ;
and now that il is done, pcrsstenty cry
no concession on our part !; we have &C
conpished lust what we have been la
boring for, you can 60 or stay, as you
like. This is the spirit of the Black Re-
publican party of the North though as
we are glad to notice, it is not without
some honorable exceptions. There
are, IN the Republican party, those
who condemn the acts of that par
ty, aad whose voices are raised tor the
Union as it is. They see the error Of
Their ways, but the better, and by tar

on and refuse to Weld an inch of their
unholy vantage ground, and proc aim
that the Union with slavery is ga Union

or the semi bdrbariaas who are in it be-
take themselves to other political asso-
Citations and other forms Of government,
besthe consequences to US and them
what they may, the better will the inter
ests of all parties be subseryed. Such Is
the language of the Chicago Tribune, the
Black Republican organ of the North
west. The same paper says, I'VE de-
mand Justice in the Union, and falling
to obtain it would ANONYMOUSLY erpet
the States that deny it, and afterwards
persuade them into decency as a toreign
poper.
When such language, when such prin-
cipes as these are enunciated by the
home organ of Abraham Lincoln, an in
tluc uua partizau newspaper, and when
such expressions and flats are caught up
and scattered through the land bv the
lesser mnions OF turmoil aud aggression
what hope is there for the future of this
glorious Union? Nothing save com
ple;e destruction. They covct it now !;
they have welcomed such condition il
times past; they viii work for 1t in the
future, Il we may believe them, until
tho foni pans long SINCE lnaugurated,
are matuled into discordant disunion,
into raliue aud war, into scenes of car
nae and fed, Of human blood. They
heve planned aud plotted for it they
have so>n The ,,ls with iendish joy
and arr now re;,ping the harvest with
more than helish glainess. With them
rests the awful responsibility.
