TUE FACTION
OF Disuniou Democrats Z"

Democratic journalists may contend
many Of them d. contend--that il is i'm.
possible for citizen to be Democro',
and at the same time 10 be willing to
consent to a dissolution Of the Union
They assert that the ideas, the very ma
ture Of the Democracy, are Incompatible
with disunion. But that peace on terms
at present attainable, must be upon the
basis of disunion, few Of ths mnlcontcn,s
ore so hardy in mulcvolence and firm in
nagrunt falsehood, as to directly deny
There are however, newspapers that claim
to be Democratic organs, aud men who
claim to be Democratic leaders, who an
nouncc that they and their party are FOR
peace at once, let the consequences be
what they may, for stopping this war i'm.
mcdiatcly and Internationally, and to this
declaration they add the repetition and
Endorsement Of the mcst atrocious rebel
ISLANDERS Of our troops, and unrcserved
aud indiscriminote abuse of all who sus.
tain the war policy 20 which the Govern
mcnt is committed. Most Of this class
affect to believe that they are irrevocably
opposed to the dissolution Of the Union,
but some Of them freely confess that they
mean disunion. Whether the latter are
Democrats in good standing, is question
Tor determine ion within the lines of the
party, and, Us we are not of that party
our duty is performed when we submit the
facts for the ruOlc information, with
observations as we deem pr opcr.
In this connection we propose to pre-
sent evidence that there are those who
assume to be Democrats, who do not hes
itate to peat rebel fulsehoods about our
soldiers, and to admit they are Cor dis.

aid, ofthe asth of February, says:
"Northern soldiers, under the flag of
the Union, have DEVASTATED broad sections
Of the South. They have robbed private
houses, stores and churches; they have
stol family plate aud famiIy hcirlooms,
destroyed sacred relics, murdered or bru-
tally u altrcntcd helpless infancy and old
age. They have, in thousands of ins an
ces--great Heaven that II should be told
-ra yished wives, mothers and daughters,
before the eyes of husbands, soEs aud pa-
rents--and yet talk in flippancy of the
restoration of the Union"
why, then, shau'a ths Ds.Grrseg o: r.. :,
war SEPARATION Is INEVITABLE"
The same paper, ofMIrch 7, has an ed.
itorial article, under the head, Fiendisll

in which the usual traitor stories OF the
conduc, of our soldiers are given as +" from

Ii is, perhaps, supe fuous TO say, that

Union men Of the South.
