1t is useless, and worse than useless,
is madness to shut our eyes to the
fact that abolitionism, not iii modifi-
ed, conservative form, but old fashioned
dismion AbolitioniSm is rampant in
iboth Houses of Congress, and is about
to attempt the consummation of actf
that will further and perfect the aim os
the sccesssionists. 1t is even doubtful
whether the Crittenden resolution, de-
claring that the only object in carrying
on the war is to rc-establish the au-
thority of the Constitution and the T.
Mon, and that when this object is ac-
complished the war ought to cease,
which was tabled in the House on the
4th inst. could now be carried through
the two branches of Congress.
1t is not the maintenance. of the
Constitution nor the preservation of the
Union of the thirty-four States now
enisting, but the negro and his status
that seem likely to absorb the greatest
attention and consume most of the time
of Congress during tie present session.
There arc fearful indications that a
party may this very winter obtain the
control Of Congress and the Executive,
which will not hesitate to trample the
Constitution under foot and wreck the
Union for the sake Of cffecting their
scheme Of negro emancipation.
At this momentous crisis, the coun-
try must look to the old Democratic
Union party for its salvation. Ifthere
is no hope here, all is lost. Never in
all the past was there SO urgent cal
upon the Democracy to awake to a re-
alizing sense of its mission and its du-
ty; for never were the Constitution and
Union assailed with such sleepless Wig
lance and deadly hostility under the
mask Of pretended friendship.
1t is said that the Constitution and
the Union are upon trial in this. war.
If this be so, it is becoming every day
more and more evident that they can
only be maintained and preserved by
the conservatism and principles of the
Democratic party, which has hereto
fore shielded them from the assaults of
both open and secret foes. The ques>
tions that are now agitated or that
soon will be agitated by reckless politi-
clans in and out Of Congress, can on
