THE TRUE UNION MEN.

With what cool impotence do the Alb
olitionists arrogate 10 themselves all
the Loyalty in tho land. TO hear them
pirate about the extent Of their devotion
to the Union, would induce a stranger to
believe that they never had any designs
against that institution, and that no
blood Of theirs was too precious TO DC
spilled tor il. This is all sham the
mercst pretense. Ask any OF them u
they are in favor OF Union with slave
States. They will tell you no. Are
Won in favor OF the Union that our
fathers made and handed down TO us ?
No. Arc you in favor OF the Constltu-
tion as il reads to-day NO. Would
you refuse to carry out IFS provisions =
Yes. Do You favor its notification by
the State Legislatures in any degree -
Yes.
We have not misrepresented the par
ty in the least particular. They are not
in favor OF the Union, neither are they
loyal TO the Constitution-no not one Of
them. The estimate upon such preten-
sors as these men have is readily made
They want no Union that does not sc-
cord in everything with their own ideas
upon all subjects. They are no. willing
TO grant the right of States to fran.
their own constitutions, therefore they are
not favorable to State rights in any de-
gree. II Alabama were to return L
the Union to-day with her old consti
tution-sye, if all the States in rebellion
wsre TO lay down their arms and return
TO their loyalty TO tie these
bowling fanatics Of the North woull
protest against the action unless, forsootb
the matter OF making new constitutions
for each, was accorded 20 them.
These are the AZ nion' men Of the alb
clifton party. These are the "UnioD
League" fanatics. They represent the
Loyalty Of the trstor-thc piety of the
devil. They love the Union 10 more
than docs JEFF. Davis himself. Will
them there j. no freedom Ct thought VI
less you think as they do no freed on
Of speech unless you speak IS the.
speak-no freedom Of the press tia
pri1.a sentiments in cortiic, with thei
cole.
Democrats will never submit 10 an
such diciaiion. They believe in Ii
Union as it came into their hands, an
in the Constitution that has ever pro
tected it. They are the only true UnIo
men in the nation.

THI Gozette is sure that it does not
like the resolutions passed at the demo-
cratic meeting on "Wednesday. 1t may
rest assured that the democracy doesn't
care tig whether it likes them or not.
They were not framed with reference
to the likes or dislikes OF the abolition
party. That matter was not even
thought Of, and had it been it would
have made indifference whatever. The
resolutions we're made with an eve sin
gle to the Constitution, the Union and
the good Of the country nothing else.
The democratic party has not the least
intention OF striking hands with the
enemies Of this government-eitber in
the north or in the south. They are and
will continue. to be fearless in the de-
annexation OF secession principles and
reasonable doctrines, no matter from
whence they smanste. They abhor the
nullifisrs and sssailants of the constitu-
tion-no matter from whence they
come, and they consider those who en-.
deavsr 10 overthrow that charter Of lib
erty BY srms,or those who tramplc upor
it under the plea Of military necessity,
ere alike inimical TO the welfare and IT,,
future prosperity of this nation. They

The coolest little transaction on the

application of Gen. Burnside to the
President to allow him.to kick out OF the
amy of tho Potomac, by q general or :
der, not less than twenty Of bis leading
generals, for characterization and neon
potency. This was decidedly COO. The
ullima,um Gen. Burnside demanded IN
case the order was not sanctioned, was
the acceptance Of bis own resignatlon.
The President declined both PROPOSE
tions. Iut Gen. burnside continued to
insist upon one or the other OF his points

Gen. Grant is pushing rapidly forward in pur'
suit of the flying Rebel army--if it is still to
be called an army. Putting former and recent
dispatches together it looks as if ono at least Of
his columns might suddenly he heard OF, with
effect, on the Rebel flank. If by such move.
ment Bragg can DO detained till the main body
Of Gen. Grants forces have time TO come up,
the end Of the campaign is very near. For
there is but one Rebel army in existence in that
quarter, and no possibility of another. Long
streets isolated corps at Knoxville will have
more than enough to do in seeking its own
safety, by sudden retreat Virginia-ward. The
main hope of the Confederacy is in bragg and
it is a question whether he still commands an
army.
1.-THE rous Of the enemy is complete" tele-
graphs Gen. Grant; strong word for him to
use, but evidently exact. Abandoned wagons,
caissons, and even guns, large numbers Of pris-
oners, pursuit continuing from day to day, yet
nothing like fighting to be heard Of, no spirit or
capacity for resistance, only fight and panic
it is indeed q rout. The dispatches arc singu.
larry brief but they are to the point, and We can
afford to wait for particulars.
