"A5ohtioa is Secessioa," says Hon.
Andrew Johnston, the gallant Union SEN
ator from Tennessee. "Enancipatton
means Separat,on," says Col. Forney,
who is high authority with the Republi-
cans of this day. "a conditional linton
man is an unconditional traitor,' said
Judge Douglas. disqualification means
no Union setth Slavery," is the true in
terpretation of the talk and course Of Re.
publican papers and leaders These are
truths and indications that all true friends
of the Union will do we'll to bear in mind
and reflect upon. And it is important
also that they should make personal and
practical application of these suggestions,
with view to test the honesty, the patri-
otism, the loyalty of all men. We will
endeavor to aid our readers in this work.
The New York Tribune, in its issue Of
the 10th, says it has "grave apprehensions
as to the result of the election" in this
State; and it then goes on to declare, with
impudence and audacity that are truly
sublime in view of its own course, that "a
triumph of the Democratic party at this
crisis will be interpreted throughout the
slave States as vote against further re
sistance to the Shareholders Rebellion -
that it will "be regarded by the rebels as
o sign of hope and promise"-that it
would show that the Democracy of this
State have renewed their "subserviency to
the slave power" but no longer insist up
on the preservation of the Union. Such
slanders upon the Democracy of this State,
copied and reechoed by the Republican
papers and fuglers here, seems to invite
an examination into the character and
past course of our assailants and the ten
dency of their position and avowals, with
reference to the great issue before the
country. The course and avowals of the
Tribune point out unerringly the direction
of the Republican party in this State-its
purpose and its method of accomplishing
them. Indeed, that paper has been their
dictator, and they obeyed its commands as
"subservently' as ever slave obeyed those
of his master. Now, careful examina-
nation of the course Of that reasonable
sheet will satisfy any candid and intelli-
gent mind that dissolution Qfthe Union
is the object and result for which it has
long labored and still labors. For years
previous to the outbreak of the rebellion,
the hostility to the Union, the Constitution
and the Flag, to which it now sings hypo-
critical peans, was too manifest to be mis-
taken by the most casual reader. "No
Union with Shareholders was its ruling
motto, and all its efforts have long been
and are now devoted to the trcasonablt
work of carrying that sentiment into prac
teal application. The Tribune has ridi
culed and DETAINED the American Flag
and unblushingly advocated disunion, civi
; : war and secession, as the means Of accom-
,. plishing this object. Here is one of it
diatribes upon the glorious Stars ani
Stripes:
HAIL TO THE STARS AND STRIPES.
All hail the flaunting Lie
The stars grow pale end dim
The stripes are bloody
Lie The yaunting bymn
, 1t shields pirate, deck,
II binds a man in chains,
IT yokes The captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the iauntng Lie!
, Half mast the starry flag
Insult sunny sky
With hates polluted rag
Destroy it ye who can!
Deep sink il in the wavesl
| 1t bears fellow man
To groan with fellow slaves.
Furl, furl the boased Lie
. Till Freedom lives again,
To rule once more in truth
81 Among untrammeled men.
Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stains;
For in its folds
= The stamp Of rustling chainr.
But poetry was not the only method 0
e ridiouling the flag which the Tribune ad
opted. Its abuse was systematic and de
liberate from day to day and year to yea
