For the Journol
The Standard in its mad desire to keep aTs parv

Inc OtanoarO, In ltS nad ooSlTe 10 keep awe party
prejudice n this State, strives to accomplish this by
constant reference to Secssonists and Uniouiss
unjust and unnecessary remarks and comparisons when
speaking of the former and always auding to the latter
in terms of high praise as being the men who now alone
eXh.b spirit of patriotism and who alone contend
ing for the great principles of freedom To give more
point and direction to ths injustice and comparison the
STANDARD has lately designated the Secessioniss De-
structlU whilst the Un0aists named Conservatives
These are the party names with which the Standard
Wishes to enter upon new arena OF political strife and
dlssent0n. Let what Justice there is In these
terms, and whom they will best suit?
The SecesslonistS derisvely, or bitterly called
Destructives But what did they destroy Was it the
old U. s. Government, which had become a tyranny
and oppression? 4 Government which, regardless of
the obligations guarantees Of the Constitution sought
to build its own power on the trampled rights of The
South Is this what they destroyed Yes and 10 so
far they might glory in the of Destructive as our
brave but suffering people may in the equally unjust
term of Rebel.
But is it for destroying is that they are vuaerated
by the Standard Does the Standard still mourn and
gnash IFS teeth the destruction OF this? Does it
so still cling to the ancient faith to heap abuse upon
those who have exposed its vile rotenness? Does
love the temple IN which it once worshpped, to re-
proach with the bitter terms Desructives those who
have broken up its polluted aars and driven out its in
famous and faithleSs priesthood?
Ii this is TO be Destructves then well may the Seces
souits glory in the name, for they haze stroyed the
vles despotism which sought to erect its brutal
empire upon the ruined hearths and tramped liberties
OF brave people; they have destroyed Government
which, altheSs to the Constitution regardless of honor
and truth would steal and rend away all those rights of
property and life so justly dear to man they have de-
troyed power which sought to crush ave. grind them
IN the DUST and make OF them slaves who would kneel
and crnge, and fawn, and pay tribute, and bring gifts
to their insoent, prdeswoen masters. But as stin-
gGlshgd from the socaed Desructives stand the Cor
servatlves, parry to which the Standard claims to be-
long. This term signifies moderates preserve,S
and as such, deserves notice. What is it that this
party wishes to preserve? Is it the United
States Government? Are they angry with the
Secessonists for destroying tb s? Is it the old
Democratic or Whig organizations? ? Are they indg-
nant that these should be broken up and scattered by
these dreadful DESTRUCTIVE 1t must be So for what
else is there which they have destroyed? Does the
Standard mourn after these longworshpped now broken
idols Is it this which 1t wishes pEeservu Does it
wish to bind up this broken faith To offer to its de-
iudcd followers these bitter waters with which to slake
their thlrsttO preserve that ancient temple whose fair
foundations have been cruelty undermined, whose noble
pillars shattered by the foul blows given by ruthless
Republicans ard their vile coaoators, both Democrat
aud Whig? Is this what it would preserve? II 30
let Us know it, What else is there which has been deg
tr0yed! What else is there to preserve? Let the
Standard answer. 1t cannot be that the Destructves
are vie IN the standards eyes because they would dts-
troy the government of the South as it now exists
All no their guilt lies not 10 this for this is what heg
"Ou!U pTeSeiUe-lney are only TOO warm and Jealous
advocates and adheren,s Of this wise and benz fc ut
Constitution. 1t cannot be this What is it then bat
the Black Republican government which they haze des.
trOyed?
On the other hand il cannot be this same government
Of the South which the STANDARD and its socatd Con-
Sc uattUe5 would preserve for it has haped too much
abuse Cn 1t for tbs because else there would be no
antagonism between them aud the Destructives 1t
caunot be that they (the Couservatives wish pre-
se,ge government which their organ tine Standard)
calls upon all citizens to oppose, all who are il favor
OF reform and opposed to inefciency, paryism and ta
vcEeisln iD the government" &c. No. this is net the
government Mey would preserve This is that which
they oppose" which they would Destroy Which
then is it they would like to preserved and are wroh
With the socaIed Destructves FOR having destroyed p
There is but one other. Judge ye and let the Stand
ard answer and if this they desire to preserved why
not to reconstruct? All this ls the next STEP Be
ware Oh couurymen who love liberty, and let in be
wrested from you By Charlatan. TRUTH.
