, The passage extracted from the Ohio States
MgR very clearly defnee the difference between
q true and pretended Union man. The distinc.
tion was drawn With clearness enough for those
who reasoned upon the subject, during the lest
Presidential campaign. While the real Union
men went for "Tbe Union, tho Constitution,
and the Enforcement Of the Laws," there
were those who inscribed on their banners g The
Constitution as it ought TO be, ""The enactment
of Just laws" and all such neE.fangled polit-

and eecessionists aS heart. Hence she troubles
In which the country has become involved, and
it is BY tho correction Of such errors only that
we can hope to escape from them. This is the
