/ The evidence aocumua;es that there is
party in the North, small though il hay be
! which has all along sy,npatliised with treason
all the time rejoiced IN every thing unfavora
ble 10 the SUCCESS OF the Federal arms a u iil'
time aff5rded what aid and comfort it daret
to the cause of disuuion. This party has iti
leaders and lis organs, both claiming TO be fol
/ The Union that they may carry ont their pinni
without being suspected 1t does not desir'
tie destruction Of the Union for its own sake
any more than Davis, Toombs or Yaneey does
1t is a party which hopes through a united
South and divided North, 10 control the des
| tines Of This country. In order to unite the
South and divide the North it IS a pro-s'ausTg g
party. judging from the past it expects to
succeed in the future by dividing Northern
counsels. Tie party correctly judges that on
account Of certain commercial relations there
will always be q class Of Northern people who
will sympaihise with slavery. because IN so do
ing hey can make more money. that this viii
be an influential class on account Of their
wealth and location in great cities Hence
the party las resolved 10 bow down To slavery
and worship this heatheu God. L is lundA-
mcutui doctrine with them that slavery must
be preserved, pcrpetuaied, extended, ana
whatever Is opposed 10 slavery must fall. Il
the Urion can be made serviceable 10 the slave
interest, why, then il is all right; if not, it is
all wrong. II a man is Internationally for the
Union all the time whether slavery survives
or perishes, he must be denounced as an aboli-
zionist, a cro-worshiper, a believer in the
social equality Of the races. This party will
be peace party or war party. just as will
subserve the interests Of slavery. While the
North is likely to crush the treasoa Of the
South ii will Le peace party. because slavery
will suffer If the rebels are subdUcd on their
own soil But if there should arise a likelihood
that foreign war would caused several pow
ereli Europcan nations 10 take sides with the
rebels against the Union, then the voice Of the
party would be for war.
The Genc,al who is most in earnest in deal
ing with treason, will receive the least sympa-
ily from this party. while he who will con
irive the most delays, and show the most ten
der regard for he peculiar institution. viii
