TOO many of the Republican party in the
Nortn are hghttng more to build up that
party thnn to tear down the rebellion; but
as a party think they are iloyaI and devo-
ted to the Government. OF coprse tbero
are some men in all parties and in ali
countries whose sectionalisin' and pvnuri-
business will not permit them to look to any
interest but their own. But there is an.
other party organizing, calling itself the
Democratic party, as if the very name was
not suhcienttO damn 1t to all eternity
who that remembers Pierce and Buchanan
and the Charleston and Baltimore Conyen-
tons, and the present rebellion, can think
OF the Democratic party with the least de-
gree of allowance? Who that reu1embers
the treason of Flounmag, and Goggin and
John Bell can look upon that side of the
"Uniou" party with any toleratiou2 Who
that looks upon Wendell Phillips and
Sumner can do so without plying men
who have but one idea2 But am wan
dering somewhat. mid
l'wautto say that there is an effort now
being made to reorgRnize the Democratic
party in this State. If the effort we're to
organize the party upon such great priuci-
pies and measures as ara represented by
such Democrats as Joseph Holt, Daniel S.
Dickinson, Lewis Cass and Andrew John
son, we might look upon it with some ia
Tor; but when it embodies the seutim ents
and opinions of John Van Buren,, Ben and
Fernando Wood, Vallandigham, Carlile,
and the Wheeling PrSss, denounce it as
ba s.ard and reasonable.
denounce any man, 1 care not what he
calls himself nor of what party he NAV
have been member, who in this great
crisis lsbors for the organization, building
up, or success OF any party except the un.
conditional Union party. Let Us first put
down the rebellion, aud then settle politjrs
and PuTty afterwards. when we have pro-
wen to the world that we have country
not destroyed nor capable of being DESTROY
ed.a That man is no patriot who wouid
sacrifice the country for any man or any
party.
Some persons in this locality, who call
themselves Union men, are more afraid of
tho violation of the Constitution than of
the despotism of JEFF Davis. They would
rather see the whole Government over
turoWn and the Constitution destroyed,
than one single provision of that instru-
ment intringed. They. think, or profess to
thlnE, that We ought to adhere to every
letter ofsthe Constitution at the risk of
losing not only that but the Union with II.
ldon't think so. / think it would be bet
ter to violate, if absolutely, necessary, one
provision of the Constitution than that the
whole shouldibe destroyed. But it is not
necessary to violate it as against loyal
meni as against rebels, don't care Whnt
is done. i would save the Government aud
the Constitution for. loyal men. IwouId
tear the latter into fragments, it necessary,
to destroy the rebellion, and make new
one or re-adopt the old one. What want
Is, the utter destruction of this slavehold
er's rebellion. Some men would save the
Constitution, even though the Union should
perish. What would tho Constitution be
worth when the Union is dissolved and de-
stroEed 1twould be like the bylaws of
a debating society after tho members were
all dead or like the charter of a bauk al.
ter the money was all expended.
This is slaveholders' rebellion, and
none defend it but gro-owucrs, those
who synPathize with them from prejudice
or. interest, aud those who are the tools for
the other classes, having no mind of their
own lacking capacity to advance an argu.
ment' and brains to comprehend one, A
good many of the two latter classes live IN
this county, who are tho satellites Of the
hrst, and do their dirty work. These
masters-the Shareholders, have taught
them that itwas proper, prudent and po5u-
lar to cry Abolition" to all those who do
not IaIll down and worship the Moloch.-
