Rebel SympnthIzLng Movements at
the North-A sharp RebuISe by n Pa.
trIotIc Southern Journal.
tRrom the Nashville Union, July 1O.l s
The life of the Union is at stake. For
more than one week, the soldiers of the
Republic have poured out their blood on
the deadly plains of Richmond, until the
livery earth seems to reel and stagger with
1.-THE fumes of the intoxicating draught which
she has drained from the heart, of heroes ;
lguerrillas murder hundreds of our soldiers
land citizens all over Kentucky, Tennessee,
Land along the rivers of the South; rebel
lion in Arkansas inyokes the aid OF negro
Islaves and Indian savages to butcher aud
itomahaWk loyal men and women; across
1.-THE ocean the hoary monarchies of europe

long for an opportunity to stab American
/ Democracy TO the heart; and with ailthese
signs of prodigious sorrow throughout the
land, party of old politicians met in
Cooper Institute, in New York City, to or.
Iganizea conservative partyl 1t may seem
tstrange that loyal men should stop to man
ufacture platforms, at time like this!-
Popular instinct is right on this poiut, and
the people everywhere with one accord re-
cognize this great fact, that when the Re-
public is in danger of perishing there eau
bebut two parties, the friends and the enc
mies of the Union. There is no need OF
ipluttorms or resolutions to draw the line
betweenloyal men an1 traitors; there is an
involuntary aggregation of natural affini-
ties and sympathies with each other on both
sides. The present is no time for q third
Iparty. It is impossible to form one, and if
it were even possible, it would be useless.
The Ostensible purpose of the Cooper Iu-
stitute meeting is harmless. We will say,
livery good. Itwas to declare tfor the con .
stitution as it is, and the Union as it was :,
But it is d tlimsy concern for party plat
form, and at a time like the present, falls
far short. of the requirements of the coun-
ltry; for the simple reason, that jeff Davis,
Wigfall, Floydan Stephens, with thous-
land other men now arrayed against the
Government said all along, that they were
for the "Constitution as IL is, aud the Union
Jas it was" The declaration Is too vague
and amounts to nothing. It lis a fog-bauk,
1 not head-land, and we don't think il safe
ito steer by it without further examination
Let us see. One of the conservative or
gans of New York callsi it the sGnti-Aboli.

order in which these Third Party men rank
these two organizations, one of which is
in the minority in every State North, and
the other having an organized and armed
Government or. Confederacy within the

war against the Union2 Where is there
an Abolition army orregiment, or compa-
ny even, in arms against the Government

mics, or brigades, or regiments, or guer-
rilla companies, watching an opportunity

Yes, body of men who never did, and
could not to-day, poll 100000 votes, are
the really guilty persons in this horrid re-
bellion, and far worse than the mach abu-
sed and smaligned Secessionists-poor fell
lows Now, if this be the fact, what is
clearly the duty of the Government 1t
is rs plain as "a State road. 1t should
withdraw our armies from the seeded
States simmeiiately, ,and return to the North
to catch and hang the eabolitionists.F After
this shall have been done, weshould appoint
mise in one hand and the Crittenden COM
promise in the other, to visit Richmond and
invite jeff DavisFto assume Abe Dincoln's
seat. Perhaps this might conciliate our

them to abandon their irregular opposi-

potent influence to restore good humor.-

the black reign of Buchanan, when the

doomed to fall still-born. Newspaper

are weak, untrue, and contradictory.
