This 10 satiaiactory, and We have onb to hope
that Hr. Brownlow is a fair representative of
the Union sentiment of the South We are
agreed on this: Z" that the South Is 10 Uame for
his rsi,tiiOH, and has brought It upon Tho eo1n-
.Ty mithom amy jnst oduse;" aud we meet the
issue Just as he does: tha. between ono Star
ory and the UniOn or no Union and Siarery,"
we are, as nc is, ")or he Union Mough erery
o'her institution PERISH" lie can t take bet
ter text than this for every discourse lie de-
lvers 10 Northern audiences. lie will find
some. even at the North who need TO be con-
,inced that the destruction of Slavery is not
I..i IA. far
aud the safety Of the Union; soine-as witness
Democratic Congressional address we yester-
day publisbed-whO would rally the nation, hot
10 say. the Union, but 10 save Slavery.
What Mr.. Brownlow may have thought
three or FIVE years ago about the Aboiiiionist
10 OF little consequence. But, as he refers to
au opinion Oi 80 old a date, We presume he
means TO let by.gones be by-gones, and to
address himself to the banglrg-wben the time
comes for that business-of present traitors.
Here, also, we are with him. Mr.. Brownlcw
and tho Aboitionists hayo said some hard
things Of each other in times past, if our
memory server US, but as they both now
recognize o common cause, in the suppression
OF Rebellion; common origin for TINT rebel
lion, in the madness Of the South; and q COM
mon belief that Slavery must 90 under, il
necessary, for tho restoration of tho Union;
the best thing to be done is TO forget the old
auinoslies, to cease calling hard names, aud
address ourselves. oil, to the great work OF
open aud armed treason, aud coan-
teracting that which, under false names and
by cowardly appeals to old party prejudccs, is
in secret league with the open enemies OF the
Union.
