II Us true that, owing to natural attachment 70 old
organ zatons owing s further to an unwlingness
the mighty events which transpre around us, masses
still continue to cling to the names and associations

have passed away, old parties have become obsolete;
party ties have been severed, buried up and destroy

The mousng politicians, whose sole Importance and infu-

the masses consent be managed will controvert the

proposition furnished by our last State election in
this State
GENERAL ELECTION on 1862
We saw thousands OF men, life long opponents OF the
democratic party, including those who had been wont
for years vehemently TO denounce the institution Of
slavery and who had found such dohuncatons yielding
rich political fruits alarmed (as they profsssed) At
slavery, declared 10 have been adopted
solely 10 restore the Union fleeing alright, TO the
support OF their ancient foe declaring that they would
not 10 become abotionzed On the other hand
we thousands OF democrats who for their sturdy
ssance to the doctrines Of the aboonsts In times Of
peace had been stigmatzed pro slavery men, aban-
doning the SO called democratic ticket and supporting
Union party These reasoned In this way-Whie the
slave states remained loyal TO the constitution felt
constrained by regard for that instrument oppose
any attempt TO interfere with slavery the States We
have regarded slavery great social political and
moral evil but felt constrained by the compromises
Of the constitution from medding with 1t, and
ists aud the friends of slavery had continued
the Union should have continued TO act But az
fairs are vastly changed The friends OF slavery have
ected the protection or the oobstuton hey have
only rcpudated its authority but have upon It,
and have organized formidable rebellion destroy
government They have set up revolutionary govern
ment which their Vice President stephens declares 10
built upon slavery as It's chief corner stone The Pres
dent OF the United States In the exercise OF hts authority
as Commander In thicf, after giving the rebels ninety
days notice OF his intention and opportunity TO return
to their allegiance has declared that slavery among
them shall cease We approve OF this act a mea
sure Slavery having been brought fro tho deences
the constitution BY the action Of Us peculiar ysuds,
and having been used arsenal by TIE rebels we
believe the President justified In attempting 20 over
throw IT, But whether he Is right or not for
the war, and 10 can Only be carried forward by the
thorities OF tho Union, and regard duty 10
sustain those authorities In the OF all means
honestly intended TO suppress the rebellion and tho
Union. II the acts OF tho President beyond his
hority, the courts Will hold the rebels will retutn
TO their duty and appeal TO the courts IT, on the other
hand the acts of the President bold aud the
cpaion OF In the United States shall be the
result shall rejoice that by the wickedncss and
Of the rebels themselves Providence has opened
way IN which, without violating the constitution Cur
rams cuogum may be mado applicable 10 our country.
Whenever and wherever slave sets foot soil bis
chains ra OF and he stands redeemed regencrated and
dsenthraled by tho irresistible genius Of American
cpation." Returning 20 the principal question what is
