Unionists is to overthrow the Rebellion aud

UniOnists is to overthrow the Rebellion ano
preserve the integrity of our country. Slavery
and the Slave Power are fighting to desteoy
the Union: we who resist them are on tbS
defensive. We ask, iD the name Of the law,
that no Unonist shall beuceiorth be regarded
traitor. We cite the law (signed by Presi-
dent LncOln) which authorizes us TO make this
demand. The use of All Executive is to see
that the laws are upheld aud obeyed. Ale1an'
