The Old Union against the New.

The Aboliiouisis scoff at the idea of the
restoration of the Union as it was. They
are easily opposed to the constitution as ii
is. They are in fact revolutionisis and in
this respect upon a moral level with the
rebels. They are not in arms against the
Government because they expect TO use
the armies fighting for the defence and per.
petuity of the. Government as the means Of
accomplishing It's destruction. Observe the
course OF their leading men. Sumner in
sisis that the secession OF the Southern
States has des:roye the old Union and an
nulled the Constitution with reference 10
those States, and tha, hereafter they are 10
be governed as territories, subject TO such
rules and regulations as an irresponsible
majority in Congress may determine. He
affirms that The Union is sundered-the
Constitution dead in the rebel states, and
that Congress is not restrained by The Con
siitution in legislaiing for them, ou' may d1
whatsoever seems best 10 the majority. ii

When the reign of chill winter is broken,
And spring comes 10 gladden. and bless
When fiocks in the meadows are sporting,
And the rotin is building Ter nest
The farmer walks forth TO his labor,
And manly and firm is his tread,
As be scslIers the seed tor the harvest
That ylel1s ali the nation their bread
His banks are all chartered by nature,
Their credits amply. sure,
His clerks never slope with deposits,
Pursued By The cure OF The poor.

His shares are the shares oil the plough:

When his crops are all gathered and sheler'd
When his cgtlie are snug in the fold,

And laughs al The tempest and cold.
