rne Northetn Democracy. =

p "Much," says the L0uiHfihe Dt"V""'t ue
pends on that heroic and patriotic party. The
; hands Of the Democracy of the North are IN
1, stained with the blood Of this revolution. They
neither provoked nor origlnatedit. They were
willing to act justly, even generously with the
South. They are sternly opposed to the crime
Z Of accession, and have, like men, stood by the
cause Of the Government" AkA
Such are the sentiments of an earnest loyal
man of the South. They but express the feel
ipes of all true loyalists in that section. !
They turn to the Democracy Of the North as
the last and the only hope for safety. II this
fail them, all is lost.
: But If this hope Of Southern Union men per
ishes, the Republic perishes along with tt
Northern Democratic must throw themselves
into the breach and save the Union as in days
gone BY, It is not a question merely Of ability,
but Of stern duty. 1t has come to this, that
they must 20 to work at the pumps and save
the ship of State, or it sinks to rise no more
forever. g81 8{3NtiAo o83l
The Democratic is the only real union organ
ization in the country. Every genuine union
man is at heart Democrat So far as any one
ialIs short of being Democrat, to that extent
he fails in loyalty TO the Constitution and the
Union. The bitter opponents of the Democra-
cy, North and South, are alike disloyal and
seeking to subvert and overthrow the Constitu-
tiop and the Federal Government, founded by
the fathers Uf the Republic. lt
Men shout ''Union" at the North, while they
are concocting and ripenins plans OF conti'ca
tioo emancipation and the division and annihi-
ladon Of States While carrying forward theee
nefarious designs AgaiLs' the Union, they claim
to belong to the .only genuine Union party.
What they mean by Union is a new Constitution
and new Government, such ss the fathers never
knew. Thei. purpose boldly avowed is TO con-
odef and change the institutions OF portion
: OF The old Union, or else recolonize and re
model is, under the sham plea Of Pntling down
the rebellion and saving the Union
Saving the Union! THESE men do not want
10 save the Ua,,i ss it existed from l709 to
1861. ItisA new Upion they are after, organ
lied on radical Republican or Abolition prlncii
Piles. They are, in seeking the destruction Of
the old Union, sllies of JEFF. DAVIS and bis
compeers. The latter want new Union--in
fact they declare they have established one
and In allegiance to IL, they even also claim to
be good Union men. Just so, there are men at
the North, who are laboriDg to initiate DAVIS
8 and his fellow conspirators, and establish a new
Union or Government in opposition to the South
ern one, and to test the question as to which is
the stronger. This is what they mean when they
talk, write and print about the Union. 1t is
this and nothing else.
Against these plotters fer the destruction Of
the Constitution and the Federal Government,
the Democracy Of the North must array Itself
in cold phslanx. Their schemes are rpening
day by day, and salvation to the republic muet
come from some quarter. Will not the North
erp Democracy prove faithful to the cause itI
has in times past so nobly sustained
