Kelly, Giddings school--that is, sooner 5

our country, they we're willing to see the
Union dissolved. This fact no iutelli-
gent man will pretend to deny.
The Democratic party-the party that
descended from Jefferson and Jackson
was always Union party. They were
strong advocates of the Union of the
States under all circumstances; and for
advocating this doctrine they were uni
versally stigmatized as 'Union Savers
by that class of Republicans mentioned
above. This fact no intelligent man
will pretend to deny. n
The President issued his Proclamation
on Sunday, calling for troops to help put
down the rebellion that was waged against
the government by the disunionists of
the South. The Proclamation spread
like wild fire. 1t took as it should a deep
hold on the people. All was excitement,
and on the following Monday the number
of new converts to the Union doctrines
Of the good old Democratic party from
that class of Republicans mentioned
above, was greater than the number of
persons who professed to be converted to
Christianity on the Day of Pentecost
sader the preaching of the Apostle Peter.
This made all the old members of the
Union Church feel happy. They took
the new converts by the hand and tried
to lead in the way of pure Unionism.-
For while, like all new converts usually
are, their zeal was far ahead Of their
knowledge. They began to put on airs,
and wondered why the old steadfast dea-
cons and leaders in the Union Church
were not better Union men than they
supposed they were. But in due course
Of time this zeal wore off; and as Satan
always has his wiles set to draw off young
converts from the right path in the Chris
tian Church, so the Abby Kelly, Gid
dings Garrisonians had theirs to draw
aG The new converts from the Union
Church. The FIRST Of these was FIRE.
aont's unconstitutional proclamation
Some of the new converts took with this;
and like many new. converts in the Chris
tian1 Church, they were soon found ab-
scnting themselves from their places in
the Union Synagogue. The old leaders
of the Union Church would 40 to thon
and endcavor to show them that were get
ting back into forbidden paths. But
like all backsliders, they became sauc,
and impudent, and told the old .stand
byes" of the Union Church that eff thi
war was not for the eradication ofsiaver,
they might throw their Constitution +
the dogs Thus this class of men be
came "backsliders" by degrees and ar
atthe present time as ultra disunionist
as they were before they were taken o.
probation in the Union Church.
With this preliminary we will proccc
to the main points of our article: VIII
are Union Men? Every. good citizen
one who faithfully supports the Consiitu
tion and all the laws Of his country, is
Union Man. If he does not do this, d
his pretensions to unionisln amounts t
nothing. Who arefhot Union Men? Thos
who in any manner or form violate an.
part of the Constellation or DAVIS ofshi
country All higher law abolitiohists an
secessionists are disuRionists, no differenc
where they live or in what tsection. The,
both advocate and promulgate doctrine.
tkatsare contrary to tho Constitution an
laws Of their country. They both d.
serve punishment, and those in authorit
should so fulfil their oaths Of Office, as I
lave it nieted out to them. And the mai
