The great body Of the semi-secesh papers, as
well as foso which claim to be Union are con-
tinually harping that the Union must be restor-
cd to the same condition it was in previous TO
the rebellion. Such restoration won't suit us.
We want such restoration as will guarantee
the liberty Of speech and Of the press in all
the slave-holding States if the wickedness Of
the present generation is going TO permit slave
holding States to exist in the Snew Union" We
want a Union in which a free white man at least
can avelthrOugh any State in it without los
ing his life. In the Union "as it was" north
ern man 8 life was not as safe in the South as it
is in the most barbarous nation on earth.--
Anthis must be remedied. The title of "Amer-
ican citizen" must be as sure guarantee for.his
protection and safety in the South as it is in a
foreign civilized country atleast.
What the cry Of athe Union as it was" means
the following from the Cleveland Leader pointedly
shows:
1t means domination of the Southern Slave
holders in Congress and out of 1t; it means thu
Presidential and all other offices Of responsible
ity, in the hands of whomsoever the Southern
ers choose to designate; it means a repetition o.
Buchanisrf, Floydism and New York Herald.
ism; it meansa bullying in Congressional Hall:
by leng-haired slave-breeders, and a cringine
by cautious Northerners; it means the rod o
"secession' held in terrOrem over the heads O
reluctant Northern men who dare resist the en-
croachments of the slave power it means a re-
newal of the old fierce disputes and bloody con-
ficts about slavery extension; it means an ey-
erlastng agitation of the negro question by those
who cry out loudest against agitation; it means
the tyranizing, by eight millions of Southerners
over eighteen millions of NOrtherners.
No such restoration as that wiz suit the free
people of the North. When the Union is re-
stored they want some security against another
rebellion. They want the principle established
that the majority must govern And if the @sum
OF all villanies' is not to be entirely wiped out
they will at least demand tn at it shall cease to
exist in the District of Columbia, the Govern
ment Navy Yards, and in all other United States
lands aud territories. The damnable institution
must be at least localized and bounded, andhe'
kept so.

The papers from which we quote the above
make some pretentions TO loyalty and patriotism,
but our readers see that their pretentions are
only skin-deep. Ii the Democratic party in the
South, aided by such Democrats as the above
of the North, had not tconspired TO break up the
Government, and to establish in its stead a
Slave Olgarchy, the present state of things
would not have been upon us and 'good times
would have prevailed instead. But these init
oroua wretches having succeeded in their dam
nable schemes in stirring up their dupes to mu-
tiny and treason, the President has been com.
PEELED to devote his entire time TO putting down
the rebellion, and restoring the Union to its
original purity No, one, We are sure. but a
corrupt, demoralzed partizan, who has more
regard for his party than for his eou'ary--more
consideration for rebels then loyal men-would
resort to such miserable slang-whang as the
above, at this time, when men of all parties in
the North are making sacrifices 10 sustain the
credit and the arms of the country. In the
South, wbere no one claims that the Republican
party is predominent, but where pure and una
dullernted JEFF, Davis Democracy has entire
sway, al the articles above enumerated com
mand double the prices they do in the North.
When the history Of these times shall have been
written, by the impartial historian, it will be
seen who is responsible for the present state o.
affairs. Meantime, the proper course for per
sOnsQf suspected loyalty to pursue, would be te
