Why Is The North "Di.lOyaI.v


Does it not strike those Republican
journalists who are constantly crying on
that the Democratic majoritss of the
North, are "disloyal." that the question
must arise in every mind that accepts the
charge, Why are they disloysl! The
people of the North were never accused
of Indifference 10 their obligation to their
country; and of all the Northern people,
the Democrats we're supposed to be the
most intense in their feelings Of nationali
ty. and so Jealous in patriotism as to be
accused of disdain of all interests that
stood in the way of their couniry's tights
and progress.
Ii is admitted that in the beginning Of
the war, the masses were united. with lit
tie regard TO party. in the purpose of stand
ing BY the government and unfolding the
Union at all hazards. Now We see the
strange spectacle Of the minority arraign-
ing the majority on the charge of disloyal.
ty? Disloyalty to what, and to wboms-
To the Constitution? No, the majority
are only too true to that; it is the minori-
~, holding possession Of the government,
that has ostentatiously thrown off its allie
glance.
Disloyal.y to the Union?w No, for the
Democrats of the North to q man. seek for
the restoration of the old Union, aud it is
the leaders of the minority who proclaim
their Willingness to witness It's destruction
All that can be true, then. in the charge,
is tina, the majority Of the North is disloy
al to the minority--is recusant to the die
tation Of the minority when il bids it dc.
part from its allegiance to the Constitution
and the Union.
IL it were indeed true that the people
of the North-for il is no longer to be de-
MED that the great mass who are defined
under the word People, are now rallying
under the Democratic banner--if il were
true tina! they had become disloyaI. then
terrible responsibility would fall some
where. The question would be. who and
what have made them disloyal?
A terrible responsibility must rest upon
the rulers ofa country who. after having
suffered from mere want of craftsmanship,
one great section of the country to lapse
into rebellion. has So alienated the masses
Of the people, in the other half. that its
own organs proclaim them disloyal also!

THE ELECTION MONDAY:-Next Monday
all good Democrats will attend the Polli
and vote for the Democratic nominees
The election is really important. No
that the Offices TO be filled are of vital i'm
portance Though they are important
yet the principal importance Of the cleo
ton is its effect as showing the popular
sentiment.
There is no way by which we can make
the administration heed our rights and
our complaints against its usurpations,
save by an uncompromsng condemnation
at the polls. We must take the civil off
ces of the Government into our hands and
then make the military subordinate, just
SO far as the laws make them subordinate
By the success of the Democracy law is
restored to its supremacy. By the success
of Abolitionism one man is declared su.
preme, and the sure road to anarchy is
paved.
All good citizens who love their liber.
ties, law and order, and abhor usurpAtion,
tyranny and mobocracy, should avail
themselves Of every opportunity offered to
express their preferences at the ballot box.
If they do 80. the will of the people will
surely triumph
