The day has gone past when such cant

county, Il has been 50 exposed that
all The lcvilish purposes that lie conceal

The nl Of distinction SO long needed is
being dta ndlepand Wido between those
WHO are giving their fathers and brothors
and husbands and their means to perpcp

There can be no peace unit one or

Anl neither can there be any peace,
either in communities or in the nation,
until Union OF Secession goes TO tho WI Il,
Either the Union men OF the SOcessionsts
Of places like Wheeling and Baltimore,
Louisville st, Louis, and other border
communities, must desist and give up
Two allegirnries, Involving rs lrey do

tionul 10 think of such a thing, Union
mon cannot shri tho issue il they would.
Their all and that OF their cbiIdron after
them is involved in il. il isa personal
question, aud one of so all prevailing a
nature that no man can scperate his in.
diyiduality from it. II is great, wide,
deep issue, that reaches to everything in
citizenship; that goes beyond business
and livelihood, and that effects every
mans social well being Just as health OF
disease effects his life. He can nottrcat
it as Whigery,or Democracy, or Ropubli
canism. However bad he may think
any of these policies, and however detri'
mental to the public good, be knows that
tircl! aseohdancy eau us The nature Of
things only be temporary, crowded only
the government remains. The country
rights itself when It goes asIray, but once
its form of government is anihilated that
is the end of its ability 10 do SO. Its
scattered fragments are scattered for all
time TO come. No nation ever construc.
ted itself. The thing is as impossible
as to divide the living body and then
put il together again, and breathe into
it The breath Of life. 0nce destroyoditia
dead and gone from us forever.
Is this not then question OIL sufficient
moment to warrant the government ia
putting under restrictions every citizen
who adjures his allegiance and aids and
abol0 The great conspiracy to take away
not temporarily but forever our liberties.
There is not man in the cityof Wheel,
ing, be he loyal or secessionists, who has
mind enoush to appreciate the question,
but who will say yes, in his heart. ANY
sympathy that conflicts with the stern
determination Of the goyernmcl to hcncel
forward make It's hand felt heavily on
secession abeltors in private life, is q
false aod perniCions sympathy, and one
which every true Union man should set
his whole influence against.
