much altered. We mean those alterations
which viii inevitably succeed sTeoDditi5n

that now in progress reason of the
great rebellion. The old parties will
not exist any longer. They will not be
needed. There will be new parties be-

dittous of things. Only God knows what
thoss new conditions will be- They will
arise ont of'the necessities of our situation
according. as the destroyed rebellion shall
leave US. Those changes aud alterations
arc of course at this time only matter of
speculation. All We can say is that new

True men-men who in their hearts aud
ntheir souls-who with their whole boz
dies aud strength, love this Union, and who
deyotedIy hope aud pray for its salvation,
do not in this hour suffer themselves to be
concerned with scruples about the manner
nWhich the nation shall save itself Their

sirsand prayer is, save the Union-saveour
natiopality-saye our unity save opr, lib
erty, save our great aud noble plan Of gov

here or a warrant there, in this section or

allapd everything that they can do TO put
down the rebellion. And why do not such

~ plain-plainer than the simplest lesson
