THE UNION.

What is the Union-the Federal Gov
erAmentY Is it union of the states
A League, a mere confederacy between
the several states, in the United States of
America? Or is it Union of the people
of the United States Do the statos-as
states-possess sovereign power-having
the rights of sovereign powers and have
the states as such, the right to secede from
the Union, and re-assert their sovereign,
independent character?
These questions are very important; and
very pertinent to the issues Joined between
the Federal Government the loyal peo-
pie on the one hand and the G. S. A. the
Confederate States of America, and their
sympathizing Democratic. brethren of the
North; and upon the proper resolution of
these questions depend the rights of the
people Of the Union to a National Govern
ment; and the right of the Federal Gov.
eminent to crush out the rebellion and to
punish traitors.
We have not time now, to enter fully
into tho argument of these various ques-
tons. We may, and probably shall do SO,
at future day. But we will now, just
exhibit, briefly, the great leading points
Of controversy. The Democratic Party
or rather the Breckenridge faction of the
Democratic Party, profess to believe in the
doctrine Of States-rights that the Govern
ment of the United States is the creature
of the states that the states are sovereign
powers, possessing the attributes of sover-
eignty--that the Union is but league be-
tween these sovereign states and that
these sovereign states have right to Sc
eede-withdraw from this league, or
union, at pleasure. In support of this pre-
tention-these pretended sovereignties re-
fer to, and rely upon the Kentucky and
Virginia Resolutions of 1897 and 1898,
which advocate these doctrines of sover-
cignty-and of States rights to secede
The Fernando Wood-Peace party, which
assembled at New York last April, urged
upon the Democratic Party to stand by
the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions
and boldly declared that every Democrat,
who recognized, and adopted these Ken
lucky and Virginia Resolutions, could not
do otherwise than to recognize the right
of secession. And we think that Fernan-
do Wood was right, in the conclusion to
which he arrived, from proper consider
alton of those pernicious resolutions. We
here say, that those neutrality-suspicious.
resolutions, are the true source of the
troubles in which the people of the United
States are at present involed--as the cause
of this wicked, dreadful civil war
On the other hand, the truly loyal,
Union men believe that this Union is a
Union of the people of the United States ::
that the Preamble Of the Constitution of
the United States, fairly, plainly, set forth
the ueprinciples upon which this Federal
Governments is formed. That Preamble
declares" We the people Of The United
States, IN order 70 form more perfect
Union, establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquility, pyovids for the common defence,
promote The general scesfare, and secure the
blessings Of liberty 10 ourselves and orv pos

Mr.. EDITOR: ,s
As have few leisure moments to
spare this afternoon, thought would pen
few lines. l notice that your new paper
THE UNION frequently comes to our Regi-
ment. have read it several times, and am
pleased to acknowledge the admiration have
Tor ITS editorials. suppose you have already
heard 1t rumored that we were to come home
to the election, and no doubt every family in
the State OF Delaware have expected it; and
perhaps the greater part Of them are vet anx-
iously looking for us, and in great suspense
awaiting our forthcoming. We must say to
our friends and relatives, with regard to COM
ing home to the election, that we would be
very much pleased indeed to be present in
Delaware, on the day of the election, in order
to give to Mr.. SMITHERs our aid. We desire
to call the attention Of the public citizens of
the State of Delaware to the TACT that although
we are here in Virginia, laboring under many
difficulties, and risking our lives daily for our
Country and her laws, and have been absent
for two years, yet, well do we remember who
our friends are at home, and those friends
have long ago become acquainted with the
political feeling and sentiment Of the officers
and soldiers, that constitutes the First Della
ware Regiment. Should Mr.. Smithers be
defeated, as we shall merely suppose the
case, perhaps some one would ask the ques-
ton, "Wh here are his friends2" but this
would be very easily answered, from the fact,
that every one who is acquainted with the
friends Of Mr.. Smithers, knows that they
have every one jeined the army Of the United
States, and have gone forward as true and
loyal people should do, save those who could
not consistently leave home without leaving
their families in suffering circumstances, and
others whose business affairs would not allow
them to leave--we well know that 1t would
