SHOWING ITS HAND.

We have frequeatly asserted that the So
called Union party was sham to eutrap men
to the support of the Republican party and to
lend aid and comfort to its organization. 1t
seems, now. that il is showing its true colors in
other parts of our doubly burthened country.
Senator O. Ii. Browning, of Illinois, the sue
cessor 10 the seat of the patriot Douglas in
speech delivered before his constituents. al the
Court House, in Qaincy. Illinois, on the 10th
of August, denounced the aboItioaists in un.
measured terms and declared that Senators
Sumner, Wilson and o. hers were disloyal trai-
tors. crazy fanatics bent on the destruction of
the Goyernment,-an that he was ready TO
90 over to the Democrats, or act with patriot
ic men to whatever party they might belong,
who were for the Union and the Constitution.

Administration came under the control of those
whom he classes as - disloyal traitors" He
delivered speech in the Senate against the

Madison County Democrat contains card
from j. Farran, Esq from which we make
the following extract to show the drift of the

opinion the labOred efforts of the Republicans

scoundrels have been heard TO discuss their
plans in the streets of Freeport Wemay give
some of their names before long. They shall

The traitors and Williams who would form
clubs to hire men 10 swear falsely against their
neighbors, would do the false swearing them
selves if they had the courage They have the
brutal disposition to do what they have not the
courage 10 carry out. Thieves have some
honor about them, but the vile traitor who
seeks in a secret manner the destruction Of his
neighbor is at heart worse than the thief.
Democrats who have always been loyal to
their country, should not allow any vile aboli-

to express one disloya word. Stand by your
country as in all times past, and resent insults
coming from the mean wretches who have =" Ia
bored for nineteen years to dissolve the Ameri-

TO Gen. Mcclellan and the other brave men
who are battling for the Constitution and the
restoration of the Union. If the Democracy
do not stand up to the country it is gone. They
must and will save it from the vile devils North
and South who are laboring to destroy it, The
Democracy will always be found rallying under
the old American banner, battling manfuly
for the proud old imehonored principles that
have so long blessed this once happy land.

FLOUNDERING.

Since the reception of the late election news
from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and other

again changes and announces that sad ex-
perience Of official treachery and dishonorable
intrigue have rendered the nation apprehensive
and suspicious" Here it nearly hits the mark,
for, without doubt, the recent disasters to Re
publican rule have been occasioned by the
uprising of a great people in the exercise
of their right to choose their representatives,
to check the usurpations of party power, and
to hold to strict accountability their official
servants. The old m0narchical dogma, that
the king can do no wrong, cannot be revived
