The Problem Of the Day.

sti,ution Why is the Union an3 Cons,i,
tuition 10 danger7 Because a large mum.
Der of the citizens Of the United States at
large number at the North have called
them a league with death and a covenant
with hell. Is there any more distinction
between the two classes Of dsuhionists
None. How is the Union to be saved
from these enemies By converting them
into its friends and making them Union
men. How is that to he accomplished =?
Here the cathecsm euds. And the
reason why the last question is not an
swcred so readily is that the difficulty pre-
sented is one Of two fold aspect There
being two classes of disunionists, the
methods of conversation may not be the
same in both cases We can easily lay
down plans for making Union men out Of
Southern disunionists, but to make Uni
on man out of Northern Abolitionist
enemy of the Union is another affair, and
reason shrinks from the task.
There can be no possible doubt that 1t
is more practicable to make good Union
man out of Secessionist, than gut OF
Northern nineteen year Dlsun,onist.-
There is close resemblance between the
two classes in their modes Of reasoning
and acting, and both ayow uncompromis-
ing hostility to the Constitution. Bat the
Southern rebel is a reasoning man, while
the Northern rebel refuses TO listen to
reason. The Southcrner may, after be-
coming convinced that the Constitution IS
too strong for him, abandon his resistance
and relapse into good citizenship, but the
Northern rebel regards the Union as
league with death and Il covenant with
hell, and refuses on principle TO eat sugar
or wear cotton tina. is grown under the
protection of such Union, The South.
erner is proud Of Washington, and regards
with reverence the counscls Of the fathers
The Northern DiSunion!st teaches that
Washington sinnrd g-ievou,ly in the for
nation Of the Union. and regards the
fathers as counsehng with Satai, when
they made their league with he'll, ana
one Of this class said in pubic speech
in New York short time ago that Satan
made the Consultation.
This is to-day the dark cloud on our
national prospects. a war is raging IN
the land. The Government on the one
hani, supported by the loyal sentiment OF
| the nation, is engaged in a contest with
millions OF rebels who have struck At the
Constitution. Two great parties may thus
be said 70 exist The rebels on the one
side, the loyal men on the other. Bat a
! third party exists, which is day pray
| ing for The vengeance Of heaven on both
contestants, unless the loyal men shall
! adopt abolitionism and agree to overthrow
| the Constitution. We do not mjsstate
! this fact The prayers Of the nb0litonist
/ leaders stand recorded, and the curses
/ which they have invoked on the Cavern.
! mcnt, il it shall restore the Union ms It
was, are known to all men. These men
indeed profess loyalty, bat admit that
! their loyalty is only conditional. They
/ are lovai it we will abolish slavery, dis
! loyal if we refuse Thus the loyal Union
savers stand between two fires. on the
! North and on The South, and the labor Of
| making both classes Of enemies good
| Union savers seems too great for accom-
| Pliohmont.
The great block in the way Of the | MON
| to day, is Abolitionism. Sweep it away.
/ and 10 four weeks the rebel military pow
err would be destroyed and the people OF
the South would hang their own leaders
/ in tire ason. Without removing abolition.
! ian, We can only expect to outvo'e and
overcome il. The hope of the Union
! therefore, is 10 mite the entire conserva-
| tive force OF The country, aud drive the
| AboliIionist Disun0nists into obscurlty.-
! Rebellion with force Of arms will b" put
| down by force of arms Rebellion with
the tongue Of hatred to the Constitution
can then be disposed Of by the voice Of
the people.
