The Republican press, to accomplish partisan
ends, from the commencement of the war have
charged upon the Democracy that they sympa-
thized with the secessionists of the South The
crime of the Democracy with the Republicans is
that they stand by the Constitution, insist that
its obligations shall be strictly adhered to- and
that the Union must be preserved and perpetu-

lists Of the North are the Abolitiopists and those
who give them aid and comfort For years they

with hell and covenant with DEATH" and
have advocated the separation of the free
from the slave States. Now they favor
the war for no other reason than they hope
through its agency to emancipate the slaves
This is their single idea, regardless of the re-
suits of such measure upon the interests of
the white race. or whether the black man will

not endure. Secessionsts argue that if the
Union continues. slavery is lost. Abotionists
want 40 compromise; but they regard peaceable
secession as a hnmbug Whyf Abolition is
dsunion; dissolution is SECESSION one is the other
Both are striving to accomplish the same object.
One thinks it will destroy. the other save slavery

Person BRowSLow, who has just been feted by
the Republicans throughout the North, is mother
witness against the trlitorous schemes Of the
Aboltionists. In speech at CINCINNATI short
