Remember, lovers a the. Union, thai
the friends of the Ada istratiOa aari ahe
I.enemies aOf the Gov umeat, Eou
years have been kbO ng to sd it.
They place the ,Admini ration bvS the
Government acRabwISass allegiance te
it, and make endorsement Of Abolition
ism test Of loyalty. The "loFds Of tbs
loom" in New England wish to pauper:
ize their white brothers who work for
them and to do this they have diverted
the "war for the Union" to an Abolition
crusade, in order to free the slaves Of the
South and bring their labor in competi-

loom, "a bigoted, iiiiterate, wealth wor-
shipping aristOcracy-govern MasSachu-

land, and New England shapes the policy
of the Administration. Her shoddy con-
tractors and capitalists are all Abolition

boldly declared they preferred the "Ghi-
cago Platform to fifty Unions! And
yet these mtsIktAe@ s.,rvl, ties cOntinu
ally boast Of their devotion to the Union.
In what does their pretended devotion
consist? Let US see. These same trail
tors, but a few years ago, in the Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts, passed law null
lifying a law of Congress, made to carry
out an express provision of the Constitu-
ton. Not only this, but they made it
high crime in any one to aid in carrying
out the law of Congress. Farther, they
sought to remove from Office judge for
not perjuring himself by refusing to re-
cognize the binding obligation Of a Law Of
Congress, pronounced constitutional by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The personal libSrty bills of the New
England States still stand as living refu.
tatiou to their false and hollow profess
sions of devotion to the Union. They
trampled upon the plainest provisions Of
the Constitution; they refused to execute
its requirements; they declared they de-
sired no Union with shareholders, and
"resolved to wage q war Of extermina-
ton against slavery" Compromise prop
ositions, acceptable to the West and the
South, were offered by the venerable Crit
tenden, and the leaders and representa-
tives of this bogus Union party, rejected
them with derision. Chandler, an igno-
rant, fanatcal and dissipated Senator,
said a "little blood letting" would soon
silence the South, and he and the party
he represented voted against all peace
propositions-voted to deluge our cOun-
try with the blood Of its best citizens, to
crafty the malignant and unreasonable
hatred Of the AbolitiOnists, against the
South. And yet these men and the min
ions of these men, denounce as traitors
all who oppose their reasonable purpo-
ses, and boast OF their excessive devotion
to the Union! Why 9-because, by do
ing so, they hope to delude the people
and enrich themselves at the expense of
their suffering country. They want the
war prosecuted, not to restore the Union,
not because they have any affection for
the old flag or respect for the Constitution
of our fathers, bat simply to make money.
BY talking loudly for the Union and
praising and supporting the Administra-
ton, they know they can swindle the
with inpunity, and nearly
every scoundrel in the country is engaged
in that patriotic work. Watch these
heartless hypOcrites, voters of California.
