THE GENIUS OF AN "oLD PUBLIC FUNc-
TEONARY."

Whenever We insinuste that our ,venera-
BILE cotemporary 10 not entirely sound upon
National principles, or slightly inclinIng
towards disunionism, be at once becomes
tremendously indignant, and hurls upon our
devoted head all the aoathemas his mann
moth brain can call into shape.
Now, If he honestly sversthat be is not
q disunionist, We will not call him such, for
it is an accusation We desire to make against
no man, unless We have reason 10 believe
him guiIty-for we have always considered
disunionism the gravest crime that could
be laid to the ebargs Of an American citi-
zen. But If heis really Union man, and
in favor Of mainsainiDg the integrity of the
Government, be has such peculiar way of
expressing it thar very few people have yet
been able to understand his position.
He calls us "Abolitoniss," "traitor,"
'Fdisunioniss," ETC., because we are 10 fav or
of psrpetuatiDg the Constitution and
the Union, 10 the maner adopted by
the Administr alton. There is q right side
and wrong side to everything, and if we
have taken the wrong side of this question
will be not be kind enough to show US the
right one?
Under o Democratic Administration, it
was right aud proper, in the estimation Of
our cotemporary, TO employ force to pre-
serve the Government. For at the time Of
she attack upon Sumpter, did be not tel. Us
that the President should bring force to
bear upon the rebsllious Caroliuiaus, and
ct once suppress the spirit Of insubordna'
ton at Charleston, though he should
''burst every quo, and sink every ship in
the Navy" 10 she attempt? We are not
surprised that it 10 wrong for Republican
Administration to do what would be per-
fecsly justifable in q democratic Admins
sration-such things are common; but il it
is right, as our neighbor admits, that the
Union should be preserved, and wrong,
As our neighbor declares, that a Repnbli-
can Administration should preserve it in q
democratic manner, then, we ask in whai
way should il be doueP If our venerable
contemporary will publish to the world BIZ
plan for preserving the Union without
force Of arms, We have no doubt the people
will unanimously adopt it, and the Admin
issration act upon it. he says the UDios

must not be employed; the rebels declsr,
shat the Union shall never be restored "a
