down upon us the scorn of the world, and if
capable of practical execution it must pro-
duce war of races in which all alike, the in
nOcence of woman and the helplessness of
childhood, must suffer with the guilty, and
which must sooner or later end in the ex-
tinction of the negro race in the southern
states.
''Resolved, that the right of trial by jury and
the ancient and constitutional right OF this
people to canvass public measures, should be
at all times, and in all places, as well In time
of war as in time of peace, jealousy guarded;
''That the right to the writ of habeas corpus
is older than the government itself, it is one
of the main pillars of the common law, and
the great bulwark of civil liberty, with the
wisdom of centuries pleading for its sanctty,
and under the constitution there is no power
that can suspend it except the congress of the
United States, and, as the people of the loyal
states have voluntarily given millions of their
treasure and thousands of their sons to sus-
tain the government no eXigency requires its
suspension, and we therefore cali on the pres
ident to recognize the loyalty of the people,
by restoring to them the right of trial by Jury
and freedom of speech and of the press
''Resolved, that meetings of governors of
states, with view to control or shape the
policy of the general government, or to die
tate terms to the president, is not only not
warranted by the constitution, but is revolu-
tionary in its tendency and deserving severe
reprobation.'
In these resolutions lies the whole gist of
the matter. They show conclusively that the
authors have more sympathy with slavery than
for the Union. 1t would seem that the Union
without slavery would be nearly as worthless
as it would be to JEFF. Davis and his fellow
conspirators. Mark well the identity of Ian
guage in the first resolution, in speaking of
the ''innocence of women and the helplessness
of childhood" with that used in the rebel con-
gress in denouncing the presidents emancipa-
ton proclamation. Verify, these denunciators
of the president at the south have open SYM
pathizers at the NORTH in a democratic con-
ventlOn protesting against the same men and
measures, that are denounced at the south by
the traitor horde. Contrast the language
used at these conventions with that presented
by the governors in their very respectful and
courteous address to the president, fully en-
dorslng his policy. and pledging him cordial
and hearty support, and then judge who is for
the constitution and the Union, the governors of
the loyal states or their traducers whether found
in Massachusetts or South Carolina. tits very
surprising that at neither of these conventions,
which are as nearly related as the Siamese
twins, that committee was not chosen to go
out in quest of those two members of the
family of high renown. and for whom good
ly portion of these conventions cast their bal
lots for president, and Breckenridge.
The latter used to pirate so glibly of the enor-
NIFTY of any intraction of the constitution in
putting down the rebellion, that one would
suppose that he was consulted when the reso-
lutions were drafted for the Worcester con-
vention Instead of protesting against the
policy of the president, why did they not try
their all-skillful hands at bringing into the fold
of the Union their two foster brothers above
named, in whom they have had so much con-
idence, and thereby exemplify to the world
the efficiency of their uniOn-saving scheme?
But, alas resolution of exhortation was not
even given them, while they protest against the
conduct of a loyal president, and denounced
the conduct of the governors of all the loyal
states. Surely, it would seem that these su-
perlative wise men have not much confidence
in anybody or anything but slavery. They
cry the constitution and the Union; but they
mean to save slavery, though the constitution
and the Union perish. If they were really
Uni0n-lOving men, and wished to unite all in
the great work of restoring the Union, why
do they breathe forth at every breath infam-
GUS SANDER against those who have labored
with earnest zeal, in season and out of sea-
son, with all the strength of mind and body
that they possess, to accomplish this very OBJ
Ject! When slavery dies, as die it must, if
rebellion is persisted in, 'Othellos occupation
will be gomez then the mad schemes of some
ambitious men will come to naught, and the
spectral corps of the Unhappy Family Party
will not haunt the land where freedom has her
home. UNION.
