that paper, 1t remarks
"while coldly pretending to uphold the Government
10 daily crowded with articles either editorial commn
nicated purposely extracted from Southern journals
all saturated with factious and reasonable spirit"
This Is decidedly rich, considering the source
from whence It comes. The LibeyatOr Is wei
known to be one Of the most violent abolition
disunion sheets in the world. II keeps stand
ing at the head Of its columns, as its motto:
"The United States Consultation Is covenant wit
Death and an agreement with He'll"
LLOYD GARRISON Is the advanced or pickle
guard Of the abolition movement In tho Unite'
States. His position, relatively, In the Repuo
lican party, is about that of GIDDrNo', and hi
followers In the Western Reserve, with thu
Wings, some years since. The disintegratior
of the Republican party will take place Just al
that of the Wing party. The conservative
portion of the Republicans, who are not aboli-
tionists, will slough off, and such men as GAR
RIsoN, FRED DOUGLASS, ETC., will assume the
command of the abolition forces, just as GID
DNGs, CHASE, WADE, SUMNER, WILSON, Love
JOY, VAN WYck, Ashley, etc did of the Re
publican party.
The abolition disunonists have got possession
of the country, and accomplished their long
desired purpose, BY the aid Of their natural al
lies, the dsunionists of the South, by appealing
to the prejudices Of the people of either section
inducing each to believe they were prosecuted
by the other. In this work they have been en-
tirely too successful; and the great mass of the
true constitutional Union men North and South
are reapiDg the reward Of the folly Of thes'
hair Drained fanatics.
The effort of the LiberatOr is about as ain
cere, and ridiculous, as the clamor Of the Ohit
State Journal of its expressions Of devotion to the
Union. While it has told the people that ".hs
Union is an unnatural compact" and that L
has "done nothing for freedom" and that those
who mourn over its downfall are "dotards.' >
and that humanity and justice will gladly ac
cept 1t (the breaking up Of the Union) as one ol
those cheering evidences that Divine Provi-
dence is working good to the creatures Of earth

ther the ends Of its creation, ,--t is vindicdvely
for the war to maintain this. as 1t saya, "unnat-
ural compact" Is IL honest in this7
Can II be possible, that our neighbor of the
Journal is willing to see the country go through
bloody civil war, to preserve such constitu
tion as its prototype the Lit1atOr describes ours
to be, or such Union as il AYERS our Union is1
II this be so the people should hesitate before Q
acting upon our neighhss'9 counsel.
The Journal advocates the war, no doubt, up
on the theory that II the war saves the Union.
1t will save it nm Ter such terms as that slavery
will be abolished, and If the Union, after the
war, is dissolved by treaty or otherwise, the
free States will be separated from the slave.
It has not the remotest idea or desire that the
war will terminate and leave our Constitution
and Union as our fathers made 1t, if IL is hon
est in its expressions of the character of the
Union.
After considering the position Of the LibsratOr
and Journal from therecord as written by them
selves, we conclude, that they are pretty brace
Of "scalawags" to question any PERSONS loyalty
to the Constitution and the Union,
