Few o; the Republican leaders aud papers
are disposed TO be az candid aud ou'spOken as
Fosrxn and his radical ASSOCIATES. Bds they
are gradually, perhaps We might say, rSp'oiS
tspdinR IL the same direction Opinions aod
schemes for the emancipation Of slaves and the
blot.ing GU, OF Staus are noW openly advoca-
ted in quar- era where they wouIJ not have been
tolerated fsw mouths ago. The prelense Tor
breaking 10 tie Union is that certain States
have fOrfeited their rights to protection under
II, and therefore it is right and proper 70 COZ
summa.e the work Of dissolution which the &c
cessionists began, but we're not sble TO hO''h.
Il has been predicted oy GREELEY oil the
Tribune and other radical Republicans that the
rebellion could not be suppressed without re-
sorting to emancipation as military neces-
sity." But that policy has not been resorted TO-
vet the arms Of the Union bid fair to be Vieto-
rious and to make the work of suppression COM
plete. This glorious contamination the radl-
Gals are seeking to prevent BY making war; NOT
upon the rebellion alone, but upon Southern
States and their institutions.
These radical disunionist are in full COM
munion with the Republican party, and claim
the sO-called Union men, who voted with them
last fall, as their fellow workers and political
brethren. They present candidates for office OF
The most ultra stamp, and demand their election
on pain Of political damnation at their hands.
They bring forward in legislative bodies their
fsdical and disorganizlng measures and insist
that the voice of the people aud the'voice OF
Gea aIik demand their instant adoption. They
know they are strong and can divide and destroy
the party. As long q, they remain IN IT, they
win be able TO control IT, Ns
We putst to Republicans, to conservative men
and 10 Union men. how they can give their
names, their reputusion, their counieOance and
supoors to such radical disuniOnsss BY remaining
in political or party connection with them
The issue they make is plain and simple. The
only question TO be put and answered is---DO |
vou support the Constitution as it is, and the
Union under it7 II you do, how can you support
a. couu,epan politically men who are for
violating the one, and putting and end to the
