The Northern Democracy.

depends on that heroic and patriotic band.
The hands of the Democracy Of the North
are unstained with the blood Of this revolu
ton. They neither provoked nor originated
it. They are willing to act justly, even gen
erously, with the South. They are sternly
opposed to the crime Of secession, and have
like men, stood by the cause Of the Govern.
ment."
Such are the sentiments Of an earnestly
loyal man of the South. They but express
the feelings of all true loyalists of that Sec
ton. They turn to the true Democracy of
the North as a last and only hope for safety
If it fail them, all is lost.
If this hope of the Southern Union men
perishes, the Republic perishes along with it.
Northern Democrats must throw themselves
into the breach and save the Union as in
days gone by. !. is not question merely
of ability, but of stern duty 1t has come to
this, and they must 90 10 work at the pumps
and save the ship of State, or it sinks to rise
no more for ever.
The Democratic is the only real Union
organization in the country. Every genuine
Union man is at hear, Democrat So far
as any one falls short of being Democrat,
to that extent he fails in his loyalty to the
Constitution and the Union The bitter op
ponents of the Union both North and South
are alike disoya and seeking to subvert and
overthrow the Constitution and the Federal
Government, founded by the fathers of the
, Republic.
, Men shout Union" at the North, while
, they are concocting and ripening plans o
contiscaton, ncipation and the division
and annihIation of States While carving
forward these nefarious designs against the
Unoin, they claim to belong to the only
genuine Union party. What they mean by
Union is a new Constitution and a new Gov
ernment, such as the fathers never knew
Their purpose boldly avowed is to conquer
and change the Institutions of portion of
the old Union, or else recognize and remod-
el it, under the sham plea of putting down
the rebellion and saving the Union.
Saving the Union! These men do not
pant 70 save the Union as it existed from
after organized on radical Republican or
Abolition prnc plies. They are. in seeking
the destruction of the old Union, allies of
jeff Davis and his compeers. The latter
want new Union-in fact they declare
they have established one-and in allegiance
to it, they a so claim to be good Union men
Just so there are men in the North, who are
lahorng to initiate Davis aud his conspra-
tors, and establish new Union or Govern
ment in opposition to the Southern one, and
to test the question AS to which is the strong
er. This is what they mean when they talk,
write and print about the Union. 1t is this
and nothing else
Against these plotters for the destruction
Of the Constitution and the ederal Govern
ment, the Democracy of the North must arr
ray itself into solid phaanx. Their schemes
are ripening day by day. and the salvation
to the Republic must come from some quar-
ter. Will not the Northern Democracy
prove faithful to the cause it has in times
past SO nobly sustained.

WADE MUST FIGHr.--In the House yester-
day, ValIandgham denounced Wade as "a
liar scoundrel, and a coward" for alluding
to him, in II speech made in Washington
short time ago, as a man who never had any
sympathy with the Republic, but whose eve
ry breath is devoted to its destruction Just
as far as bis heart will permit him to 60.

low Valandigham to escape chastsement
for such language Wade, on one occasion,
shook his fist beneath the nose of Calhoun.
True, Calhoun was man much inferior to
Wade physically, and he in turn shook his
beneath Wade's proboscis; but Ben has en-
joyed a wonderful reputation for courage
ever since. He impaired it a little at Bull
} Run, where he made the fastest time recordl
ed. He ran towards Washington against a
crazy bullock that had broken loose from a
heard, and beat the bullock by several
hides. If he don't thrash VaIandigham
how, Ben will lose his reputation for bravery
entirely. He has an adversary whose fight
ing qualities are of high order, and the
job may give him considerable trouble, but
it must be done, else Benjamins "lion heart"
will fall below the quality of sleeps pluck.
