ReS boldly declare that they don't want
the States reunited and the Union pre-
served upon the sane principles upon
which il was based prior 20 the Rebellion.
They say they don't want the South to be
reunited With the North, unless slavery
is first abolished in all of the States
that they "pEefef a division Of the
Union, to the re-estahliahment Of the
Union under the Constellation which per
mits slavery to exist ia ass Of the States"
Men occupying the ADORE position, who
are in the daily habit Of calling their
neighbors seeessionists and traitors, We
have IN this yicinity-in this city, and
strange TO tell, they occapy high positions
under the Federal Government, aud are
the acknowledged lead Es of the Disun-
ion Black Republican party. ...a
While such men as described above,
and ia the article below, profess to be adj
Vocating war and blood-shed to preserve
the Union and Constitution, and for the
establishment Of both with their guar
antees, they are really advocating it, for
she purpose Of abeiishlng the old Consti-
tuition and Union, and the establishment
Of 8stc ones in their skead-such Con-
stitution sad Union, as suits their swDI
peculiar views and sireumstanees--one
which by the abolishnenE of all dlstino-
ton between the two races, viii permit
them TO raise themselves in tina scale of
rsspeetability, BY assbciating upon terms
Of equality, with Negroes.
But we must stoP--we are writing al
article oarself, whan se only intended to
cali attention TO the following from the
Republican:
"There is nerer a good cause, if it is
popular, THAI does net bring round it by
pocritical supporter who are generally
Ioudest and ferrest 81 their advocacy OF
it. Ii is so now in the case Of the stFag-
gle Cor the Union. Among the elamor-
Gus and furious supporters of the Union
just now are men who, few years ago,
were openly or CoveF4Iy ridieuling every
friend Of the Union as EEUuion saverS
and "Union- ahrieker," and eases have
been mentioned OF fellows who, though
now Haunting the stars and stripes il ey-
cry mans face, il season and out of
season, and denouneing With boots aud
execrstions every body who does not now
brawl a. loudly as they, literally spit up
on that tag aad trashpied it under foot q
few years age. Among the Union men,
beside the great body Of good and true
patriots who lore their country and want
90 restore and maintain cordial Onion
the only kind Of Union worth having
are wild and stark mad fanatics, who,
without particle hf lore for the Union,
rave for it, and pnsh on the war waged
for it, because they think By so doing
they can, BY book or crook, realize, the
insane project Of an immediate abolition
of Negro seEvitade. Then there is anoth-I
CT class, who hare had instiiIed into their
minds by the rznSoroas teachings of the
Tribu5as, and journals of like character
aud aims, the most deadly hatred of ev-
r7thiRg seuth of Mason and Dixon,H line.
which wears white skin. The teach
ings of such presses have, as was long
ago feared, created q grouudless and hor-
rible luminosity, that has had much to do
in stirring up this var snd importing It's
worst features TO il. Ii is hate hate
withogl eause--.whieh inspires this class,
and no love for the Union, or regard fer
the Southerners. II seeks simply and
solely their destruction. That object Is
the only object which rsconciles ahem to
this war. ra - ..-. e-. .s~. -s 81
There is another class which would Is
readily join one side as the other; bat is,
always looking after what it deems the
strongest side. Il Invariably signalizes
