s.Whers do they get their patriotic sen-
timents'' "UniOn.''


The Union says that "All the patriot
ic sentiments, quoted by the Republicans
are taken from Democratic men and
measures. They cannot recur to thtir
own safe llites, such man as Wade, Chase,
Seward etc. No, sir, they can not quote
a Union sentiment from them"
Lest the Editor of the Union" may
think that his story is al truth this
time, We will give him for digestion
this week the closing remarks OF Sena-
tor Wade lin the U. 8. Senate on We'd
nesday Dec. 10th 1850. which he can
find on page lo4 Of the Congressional
Globe, which is uuquestionable author
ty. viz ~
81 say, sir, I stand by the Union Of
States. Washington and his compatriets
fought for that good old flag. 1t shall
never be hauled down, but shall be the
glory Of the governmentt to which be-
long, as long as my life shall continue.
To maintain it Washington and his com
patriots fought foraliberty and the rights
ofmau. And hers j will add that my
own father, although but an humble sol
der, fought in the same great cause, and
went through hardsbips and privations
seyen-fold worse than death, in order
to sbequeath it to his children. 1t is my
inheritance. II was my protector in in
fancy, and the pride and glory Of my
riper years, and Mr.. President, although

Now, Mr.. Union, dare you publish

we cannot expect much; but can you not
stand forth, for once, the patriot; for
get party, love your country above all

readers? Those words, like those Of
the patriotic Warren of Revolutionary
memory, spoken in the old church in
Massachusetts, when British bayonets
CLEANED all around him, TO secure TO

that flag when dirks and revolvers in
concealed places, in the garments ol
traitors, though senators were thick a.

dared utter them in the face of declar-
ed disunionists. you have the unfath--

disunionist.' Such noble sentiments fall
just as far beyond your conceptions Of
the patriotic as the balls from a, 64
pound cannon fall beyond the tow wad
ofyeur childbood's pop'gun!
The patriotic sentiments Of Democrats
Of which you speak, we take from those
who denounce party for their country
men with souls above party-and who
