Who SHALL SAVE THE COUNTRY ?-If the
Union is to be preserved as it is. and restored
to the necessary harmony, somebody must do it.
This must be the work, either of the Republic
can party or its adyersaries. If the Republican
party and the Republican administration
assume and perform the duty. they will save
themselves while they are saving their coun-
try. If they refuse to do it, their adversaries
will be the party of the country, and will claim
the advantages of that position. Foe
ming Journal.
We may add; and if the Union be not
preserved, it will be because the Republican
party have persisted and succeeded in their
efforts to destroy it; first by the application
of the principle that it should not exist part
slave and part free territory, and second,
when it was manifest that such a principle
of action would tend to its dismemberment,
by refusing to recognize the existence of
rights in one section of the Union which
have been exercised since the government
was founded.
