constitution and laws, and for this w
cheerfully award them due praise. Still
they are doing no more than they arr
bound, by their oaths Of allegiance, By
love Of country, and by common in.

we do not feel called upon to give up tc
them an importan! political Office, at
time when it may be very essential tia
men should be in office who represen
the great majority Of the people of the
State. The time is not far distant wher
the rebels will offer terms, and then the
question of slavery will come up for fna
settlement And when that time ar
rives we hope it will be forever disposed
of as a national bone of contention, but Il
thus dispose of it, republicans must be in
office.

told that we stand on a mere question Of
etiquette. Grant it. Suppose that the
Democratic State Committee would have
issued Just such a call, word for word and
letter for letter, with the exception Of the
signature Of their names, and then added

body green enough to suppose jhat Re-
