". Suppose that, by issuing general order

any hearty Unionist oppose the issuing OF sucn

These questions answer themselves, and tneir
answer exposes the hollowness of those VINO
clamor against Emancipation and insist on re-
storing Z" The Union as it Was"
but do not you desire the restoration OF
81 The Union as it VAST" we are asked.
We answer that We are for The Union as 1t
Was" if it cannot be improved, but we greatly
prefer tho Union as it ought to be. For in
stance:
I. We prefer the Union 80 reconstructed that
blsneless and beloved President elect may
travel through any and every State on bis way
to the capital without incurring the peril OF
assassination, and without being compelled to
apticipats and choose darkness for any portion
of his journey.
III. We prefer Union wherein the formally
chosen and duly accredited representative OF
State, proceeding to another State to test there
the legality of imprisoning it's citizens unac-

some criminal, and compelled to abandon his
mission to,saye his life.
III. We plc'oi Chion ""NiS'" IVY
upright, inoilensiye citizen unsupported OF
crime. may safely count on the protection OF
the Law and its ministers in every portion OF
our country and only be subjected to detention OF
injury through the quiet and peaceful operation
OF the laws
". We prefer Union in which Senator
OF the United States shall not be subject h
ru.Tsnly assault and beating on the floor OF the
Senate for words void of personality cOnscien'
tiousiy spoken in debate.
/ V. We prefer Union wherein every limo
cent man shall be entitled to receive the wages
of his own labor. and not see his wife anC
children sold away from him Eben neither 81
nor they are accused Of any wrong.
! VI. We prefer Union wherein the praises
of Freedom shall not bs shouted by men wh'
st lie BY violence the expression OF any senti
Ipent which condemns their iniquites, and who
make it crime 10 teach young children Il
read aud write.
In short, while we desire and struggle fol
the restoration of the Union ut all events, w
prefer that it should be thoroughly Union o
! Freemen. Who can thoughtiuliy wish 1t rattle
a Union of freelnen and sleveei /" il any
speak for him have offended"
