Our Duty as Citizens.

To the Editors of the Pioneer and Democrat:
Since the publication in your paper of
the article defining your position in the
present contest in which the country is en-.
gagged, with but very few exceptions, 1 have
not heard single Democrat dissent from
the views therein presented. The article in
question breathes the right spirit--it is a
word fitly spoken-a bold and straightfor-
ward avowal of noble and manly purpose,
to uphold the Constitution of the country
in its hour of peril, and am sure it will
find an echo in the hearts of nineteen.twen.
tieths of the Democracy of this State. AS
matter of course those whose sympathies
are with the rebels will find fault with it,
and, possibly, some may object to it, who
are loyal. But the latter class will be in.
considerable in numbers, whilst the former
will comprise all those who secretly desire
the success of the rebellion, but who, pro-
fessedly, are Union men.
1t seems to me in this crisis the duty of
every man is so plain that it cannot be mis-
taken. As citizens Of the United States,
we owe our allegiance to the government
first, and should stop at no sacrifice neces-
sary to maintain it in its integrity. Our
duty as citizens of the State of Minnesota,
or as members Of a political party, should
not interfere with the discharge of loyal
duty to the Federal Government. This is
the FIRST and paramount obligation, and rises
superior to everything else. When this is
discharged it will be time enough to attend
to secondary matters, Until the rebels lay
down their arms, all thoughts of compromise
should be abandoned, for the very reason
that we can offer no compromise to traitors
without dishonoriDg our own manhood, and
disgraciDg the name of American citizens.
