traitor 10 his country for advocating the
success Of that ticket on the stump,then
all sbo worked for its success in other
ways, by publishing, talking and voting
were traitors also. Does tho Gazette
pretend TO assert thatS Speak ou'.
Ooe OF the reasons urged by our neigh
Dor TO provo Mr.. Parker's disloyaIty, is
that in supporting the democratic tick
ct on the stump, he supported Judge
Thayer for Congress, and that Judge
Thayer had said on the stump that he
was willing to see JEFF Davis. Toomb',
Slidell and Mason back in the Senate, IT
tho Union could be restored" This
sentence is very ambiguous. Mr.. Thay.
e did not state any such thing. We
we're present and heard just what he
said. lie was speaking Of the untold
value Of the Union, and what sacriicea
he would be constraiued to make rather
than see it forever DESTROYED. Rather
than have the L MON forever in disgrace,
rather than Acknowledge the right and
might Of secession, and incur the ig-
nominy such an outrage would entail
upon the country, he would even con-
sent to see those arch traitors back in
the Senate. What treason is there 10
that. II that be treason, then we are
traitor, for il the restoration and the
perpetuity Of tho Union could be bought
to-day at that price, and # VIC had the

treason, we would not hesitate mo-
ment-not q breath, to consumate the
bargain. Nor would it DO because we
hate traitors less, but because we love
the Union and its perpetuity more. We
would risk the loyal representatives of
the people to manage those traitors. Is
this expression treason! II SO we are
not loyal.
The gentleman in question supported
the ticket that democrat, in this District
voted. The ticket was loyal to the core,
and represented a loyal party--was
voted by loyal men-men whose hearts
are big with love for thu Union, men
who are willing to sacrifice all for its
vindicatlon-even in blood to the last
drop-iu carnage till tho last son and
brother lays cold in death upon the con-
tested field. 1t is such men that the
Gazette calls disloyaI! A Democrat

If the Democratic party has been the
tool of secessionists in the past, is there
not danger that it may again become SO F!

The people Of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
