The following, from the NorwaIkfO Eroe,
'23at, contains the ring Of pure metal.
We understood and fully appreciate the Re-
f'ecfor's twadd' about estae unioa Of Iowa, and
good men Of all parties IN Ohio for th- vel,
iafe Of common country" A ycar AGO il was
equally fierce IN the cause OF .,ireedon - and
delighted IN taunlng Democrats as Clinton g.
verS' and ''slaveocrats," because, he-dlng the
warnings OF Washington and Jackson aOaioS,
SECTIONAL parties, they would not ioln in the
Abolition crusade against the South and is in
sItatIons. While we are willing 10 SuDnorr
The administration in all constitutional means
10 put down rebellion, We beg to be excused
from occupying The same political bed with
Gitdlngs, Wade and Spading Abohlionisls-
believing, as we do, that the starting point o
cur present national dificdltirs can be traced
directly to- the insane Intermeddlings OF such
dsmagogues with the institutions of the South.
Such men have long been 10 rebellion against
portion OF the Constitution, and hence we
are anxious TO see their disturbing and danger
ous dogmas buried in the same grave nh S.
cessonIsm. To accomplish this drsi7ea5e end
We shall stand firmly by the Democratic party,
believing, as we do, that it IS the only organ
ization possessing sufficient nationality to bring
together and re-unite The country once more in
fTalernal bonds
