who called the meeting and OF the support

Of Tests substitute about forty, and against

Those voting against Tests substitute
were not actuased by any desire to exclude
Democrats or those of any party from .
participation in the celebration, for nearly
or quite half OF those who voted against the
substitute we're Democrats.
But they voted against it solely because
it was introduced for the express purpose OF
striking out the word UNION, and for no
other purpose. Could any one object to
Union celebration, taken in any sense Of the
word? Could sny one object to union of
all parties in celebrating the 4th? Or could

in this weeks Busle, in which he compares
the Rebels in the South, to the Patriots of
the American Reyolption. At the end of
one sentence he uses this very meaning and
significant language: But should they
"the sessionists at the South) succeed, that
g same history will place them (the seces.
