Abolition DIsunionists.

We copy the following from the Louisville
Democrat, one of tie strongest Union papers in
the country. 1t portrays, no doubt, the true
state Of the case:
We think it high time that the New York
Tribune was prohibited all circulation In the
mails. 1t Is q disunion Sheet and contributes
more to keep up the rebellion than half dozen
armies. The editor insists that slavery must
die, If this war continues. Now everybody
knows that slavery can't be suppressed until all
regard for the Federal Constitution perishes;
and the doctrine is, that if the war continues,
the Constitution and all it's guarantees must be
prostrated. Then what are the people of the
North fighting for7 II slavery can be abolished
by this war, then any other right of the States
reserved can be alike sacrificed, and We have
no law but the arbitrary will of q military des-
pot to depend on. IL is strange that q letter
from Louisville to the New York Times, written
by some Abolitionist, has started the editor Of
the Tribune afresh. This writer ought to be
sent to Fort Lafayette. Such outgivings would
disbsnd the Union armies, If IL was believed for
a moment that the Administration did not
spurn such suggestions. We speak not Of the
South, but OF the North as we'll. Whenever IL
appears that this is the purpose or the result OF
this war, IL will stop; IL would be shown 70 be
too dangerous to the liberties of white men to
be continued. White people are NOT yet suf1i-
ciently jealous for the freedom of the negro TO
enslave themselves for that purpose.
We have long known that these Abolitionists
were disunionists. They don't desire the pres.
eryation of this Government. They desire the
Union divided, ii they can't have slavery abol-
iehed; and these suggestions about slavery are
thrown out 10 prolong the war, 10 excite the
South, and render any further attempt to pre-
serve the Union hopeless This correspondent
of the Times 10 disunion emissAry of the Abo-
lition stripe, and Is no more ft to run at large
than an emissary OF the Southern Confederacy.
His scribblings are full Of lies for the encour-
agement Of Disunionists, outside of this subject
OF slavery. SEX,
1t may seem incredible to some people that
these Abolition sheets, that pretend great zeal
for raising armies TO put down rebellion, and
profess to support the Administration in its ef.
forts, really desire at least dissolution OF the
Union; but II Ia not more incredible than other
events Of the times. $3.50 lsa IS
1t Is not trle, indeed, that any considerable
number are so much for the abolition of slavery
that they would sacrifice the Union to IL. With
the politicians, IL is no sincere interest in the
anti-slavery cause at all; they care nothing
about it, but they want Offices and honors; and
the symptoms now are that anti-slayery and
Black Republcanism are to be buried with the
restoration of the Union. What, then, becomes
of met thinks the political ,Abolitionist, who
has rode into power on the anti-slayery hobby.
With the restoration of the Union, the whole
school of them 60 under, along with the pio.
neers in this rebellion in the South. The pres
eryation Of the Union will be the death OF
them If slavery can be destroyed they will
have full sway In the country; but II Il cannot
be, ami the Union is,restored, they will mot be
trusted. Itis Union, but not one controlled
by their influence. They have no interest in
such Union. They don't want It. On the
other hnnd, II the Union 10 divided, the anti.
slavery feeling North will predominant, and
these Abolition politicians Will bein the lead,
