The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-07-10

he 10 jug very man ne WIS when he
vetoed the action Of the Common Council
whereby the city's heavy subsidy was
withdrawn from the further support of
Ben's openly Secession organ, the Daily
News.
BEN WooD, his brother, lately made a
speech so traitorous, that Il was repub-
lished with warm approval in Richmond.
He is now a member Of Congress, but
will doubtless be expelled. One Judge
THoMrsoN also made a flaming harangue.
The report says:
He ascribed all 1,s ev1 no1o threatening

lied Abohtionists. ca Noice--"H Hit 'em
again.O They had set their vile hands
on the Constitution, which was as dear
70 him as the Bible, which he hoped
they read everyday. (Cheers) There
was class Of men South who were
wrong, and who must be punished for
their wrong doings. He meant the Sc
cessiOnists. But they were better men
than the Abolihonisis.
Yes, a body Of men who never did,
and could not TO- day, poll 100000 votes,
are the really guilty persons in this hor-
rid rebellion, aud are far worse than the
much abused aud maligned Secession
ists--poor fellows! Now, II this be the
fact, what is clearly the duty Of the
Government? 1t is as plain as a State
road. II should Withdraw our armies
from the Seeded States Immediately,
and return to the North 10 catch and
hang the Abolitionists. After this shall
have been done, we should appoint COM
missiOners, with the Missouri Compro-
mise in one hand and the CRITTENDEN
Compromise in the other, to visit Rich
mond and invite JEFF. DAVIS to assume
ABE LrNooLN's seat. Perhaps this might
conciliate our misguided Southern bre-
thren," and induce them TO abandon
their irregular opposition" Fat sala-
ries and high offices have potent inau-
ence to restore good humor. or course,
we would have a return Of those golden
halcyon days over the South, when
bully like KEIrT received golden headed
canes for beating defenceless man sit
ting in his chair, aud Regulators and
Vigilance Committees, composed of red
| faced and thick skulled ruilians like
TooMBs and WIGFALL, hung every man
who didn't believe that the "chief corner
stone Of this Republic is slavery" and in
Armageddon's exposition of the "diyine
right of HAM, SHEM and JAPHET." That
is exactly what good many men mean
when they talk about the Constitution
as it is and the Union as it was" They
mean return TO the black reign of BU-
oHANAE, when the whole machinery Of
the Government was controlled by an
ambitious and intolerant slave oligar-
chy, and the whole policy the country
was devoted to slave propagandism, even
to the shedding of blood. For one, we
must positively decline swallowing the
nauseating- dose. Let one BUCHANAN
suffice for the history of our nation.
II is little difficult TO see what this
Third Party is seeking, unless it be to
make a President The movement is
doomed TO fall still-born. Newspaper
pulfs won't save it. Its vague gonsrali-
ties mean nothing, and its specifications
are weak, untrue, and contradictory.
There are but too great parties now in
the land which the people will recog-
nize. These arc the Union and the Re-
bel parties; the loyal will flock to the
first and tho disloyal to the second in
stinctively, as filings follow the load p.
stone, and the clique Of politicians who
come between these tremendous forces
as they come in conflict will be ground to
impalpable powder. President LINCOLN is
no President Of ours; We opposed him vio-
lently and voted against him, and regret
ted his election as a public calamity.
But we boldly and emphatically say,
that there is no possible nucleus around
which we can rally and fight for the
Union, the Constitution and the supro-
promacy Of the laws, except the Admin
istration Of President LINCOLN. He
must be sustained with energy and zeal,
and all we possess we shall give him,
not for his sake, but for that of our be-
loved country If the Union be saved
at all, it must be by unfolding the Adj
ministration of the President aud his
legally chosen successor. The war OF
1912 brought 10 the support OF Mr.
MADISON thousands of Federalists, who
had fercely opposed his election, but
who were forced into his support by the
impressive necessities Of their country
Tho war of 1876, again, drove to the
support Of Mr.. Polk thousands Of men
who had bitterly opposed his election
and the policy which brought on the
Mexican war. Statesmen like HENM
CLAY and WINFIELD SooTT, and hosts
Of other illustrious men, who fell al
Monterey, Bueua Vista, Chapullepec anc
Cherubusco, rallied around the President
as the legal representative Of the nation
and The Commander-in-Chief of hel
Army and Navy. We must follow Their
example il we wish to maintain tn,
Union, SO far as Third Party can hay,
any influence it will be Injurious to IA,
