"Dividing the People Ofthe North"
There are Republican politicians who affect
to deprecate the drawing of party lines in the
coming elections They " nj the North to he

the notion that 1t is species oLdsunionism 10
run anything except ultra Republicans. At the
rerent special election in the SherDan District
the Republicans nominated and ran an ultra
member OF their party for Congress. They did
the same hing in the Corwin District, and the
people had the temerity to run candidate in
opposition to him. whom they elected. In the
Second c ngressional L iStrict in Philadelphia
the Democratic nominee was elected over the
Republican nominee. Col. Forney with he aid
of his Press, did what he could to elect the Re-
publican nomiue"; but the majority OF the voters
undoubtedly as patriotic as any in the country,
concluded that they did not wish Republican
to represent them in Congress The farmer,
the merchant, the mechanic--the members OF
all Industrial pursuitS--are interested in having
this unnatural and dep'o able toar." to use he
language OF Col Gilmore, brought to an honor
able close. When the authority Of the Feder'
al Government is vindicated and acknowi iedged
they want it to stop. The army contractors
who are making their thousands Of dollars daily,
undoubtedly want it prolonged as long as posi-.
ble.
Certain Republican Journals are beginning to
camor Tor the Abolition Of Slavery in the Slave
States by the Federal Government, and there
are ministers who are lecturing and preaching
about the abomination ofSlavery, insisting that
we can have no peace until it is Abolished
These editorials lectures and sermons are the
only things calculated to divide the "peope OF
the North" The people Of the N~th or fee
States are not a unit and cannot be made a unit
in the desire that this lDdr shall be turned into
,oar for the Aboltion of Slavery. The declara
ton OF the Chicago Times, that "war for the su
premacy Of the Contribution is high and holy |
work, but ,oar tor the emancipation Of negroes,
tuould be the Wackest crime of ciwl s1tion," ex
presses the Democratic sentiment. Let our
people plant the mselves immovably on this po'
si,on--let them dscountenance abolition publ
cations Abolition lecturers and Abolition
preachers-and this unnatural and deplorable
war; will be brought 10 a close in compare
lively short place Of time.
The DiSunicnists of the South could never
have precipitated the South into revolution, had |
not the RepuhI:an party succeeded to the con.
troll nf the Federal Governme nt--a party that
pullifed the Fugitive Slave Law hy Personal
Liberty Bills and by striking down judges for
proncuncjng it Constitutional. These arts OF
the Republican party were used to their disad
van age in the Slave States. The SecesSionlst~
pointed to them as an irrefutab'e argument to
show that the Republican purity would disregard
the rights OF the South. And that confidence
is not to be restored by advocating the necessi-
ty Of perverting this war into an Abolition war
1t is TO the men who are advoca ing "Pea
measures" who are PLAYING into the hands Of
the Secessionists. II is the brood Of Abolition
Editors, Lecturers AMI Preachers, who are do

object the incubation Of tho idea thlt this war

and that hence it bacolnes holy duty now to

whereby they can prolong the contest againS
the authority Of the Federal Government. This
treason should be stopped, so that the Southern
people may be assured that they shall oe per.

under tho Constitution that they enjoye when
Washington, Jefferson and Jackson administer
