ing on the active assistance Of the Democratic
party of the North.
In this, they are falling into a very grave
error. They are deluded, because they do not
know the people of the North. They remember
that the politicians in the last campaign allowed
themselves to b. worked like puppets by the
Disunion leaders; that they were led into rilicu-
lous and shortsighted coalitions, nominally for
the purpose of defeating the Republican party,
but really TO did the plans of the SecessiOnists,
whose projects were long before most cunningy
laid; they know that there are Ut tie North
liberties of their country to the Slave Power and
who, politically dead here, seek to become alive
again under Government which does not recOg-
nize the people; they know that there are
many weak mnded and intellectually dap-
idated politicians, whom the mere name
of the Union would satisfy, even though
every noble characteristic every valuable con.

insidious and impractcable, are striving with
such might as in them lies to reduce the Gov.
eminent TO 4 nullity, and make the free North
but a convenience for the slayehoder. Knowing
these things, they spring to the erroneous con-
cluson that as it has been so it will be, and
that the people will be still led open.eyed to
their ruin, or hoodwinked by fimsy pretcnses
till irrctrieyabIe disaster startles them when it
ID too late.

But, fortunately for the stability Of our Gov

hence, they have been led to throw their votes

they stood years ago, absolutely on the same
platform us that now iorining the basis Of the
