Every one Of the authors of these trea-

Democrat. lfOnybody can point out a
single Republican who has ever uttered
such etrocious sentiments, or who does
not heartily rcbuke them, We will thank
them to do It.
! And yet this Democratic Party, whose
leaders are thus abotting and threatening
Disunion, pretends 70 be pre-eminentlv
The Union saving Party. Let them crush
the Traitors in their own ranks, instead of
Wandering their neighbors, and the Union
viii be safe enough,
