know not what they do. Can a man be q
Union man, and stand by and see the Consti-
tuition violated Can any one be patriot,
without protecting, maintaining and defending
the laws and institutions of his country, in all
their purity and vigor? Yet this really trea-
sonable and tratorous abolition gang insist
that you must violate all laws and consttu-
tonal rights, to become good Union patriot.
