"For 80 years, the honest masses Of the
country were deluded into the support Of the
Democrats Party under the specious plot
tlati WAS Union organization. and dur Nc
ali that time tho real leaders of that party
were plotting and conspiring to destroy that
-sry Union Of which they professed to be the
snlv friends, and at last when their plans
~.rs fully matured, they made the attempt
and but for the timely exposure Of their de-
siens and the accession to power Of the Re.

premeditated and determined hostility

from the land. He has been for years
creeping through the cess-pools of alb

ing in hostility and fattening upon ha.
sred 70 the institutions Of the Govern

opposed to the preservation Of our glo'

such men preach loyalty to the Union,
Ne need not be surprised to find the
devil rebuking sin, and we should nave
no mere reason to doubt the sincerity

in its bypocritical cry Of UNION,
