the sentiment Of oar people--and IL II
their real sentimeRs.
Here we have il from high Republican
: authority that there can be no recon
straetion. The Union 10 compared 10 al
! old log house some of the logs of which
. ara rotten. The States are the logs. Ths
Northern States, or logs, are sound. The
southern States, or logs, are rotten.
d s'Yoa cannot reconstruct housa of rot
ten and sound timber" Hence you must
go on With the war-build the house out
!, Of the sound loga-the Northern States,
. aud spajagate the rotten logs the
d Southern States. This 10 the doctrine
8 preached by Simon Cameron one Of the
z great Republican leaders.
, We ask if this docs NOS prove thaE the
! war 10 net prosecuted for the purpose Of
: re-establishing the Union Dir. Canegou
says, 'there can be 40 compromise, nor
8 can you talk about reconstruction II
e this be SO, then what are we lighting for

are fighting for q dissolution OF th'
q Union,-to establish Union composer

! States, and to subjugate and hold in aab
jeoGion the "rotsen tinber"--the Southern
! States, which under the Constitution, b,

as free and independent Is any Of th
y Northern States. Mr.. Cameron's pro
, position is to build ass0 house Union,
: out of the 'E&ound timber" (tbe GortheTl

II ber," (ths Southern Statesl emo matte
: how much blood and treasure it ma
. cost" and thai by hearty cooperation
! Of the soldiers relief societies thr oughou

! ment Of our 1.-THE Northernl people"
this is not disunionism, We aak VIA
he sentiments could q man express tina
!. would convict him of entertaining dis
q. union sentiments When We take int
a. consideration that Simon Cameron. whel
be 1hoaght bis election to the y. S. Senat
Squire thing" said 'sThe Who'll
policy Of the Government will be changes
the South will certainly gain thsil
g Independence and will be the creates
aad most powerful man in the Senate,
We cannot help coming TO the conclusion
x that Simon CamaEon and the leaders o.
e the Republican party are disunionisss
II On the 18th Dec. Mr.. Cameron advocates
: the establishment Of Union composed
II OF the Sound timber''-the Northern
e States, and announced that as 'fths senti-
e meats Of ossr people !" bat later when
e be thought be was going into the .. s,
e senate he announced that the whola policy
!; of the government would be changed, and
instead Of sabjugating the south, that,
FshsiF Independence would surely he
acknowledged" Taking either position
d to be true, We ask agaiu, what are we
fighting for ?
0 We now introduce our next witness. In
j the month of January 1868 the Washing

the Capital by the patronage of the lead
! ing republicans of shs proposed new
Union, and the semi oEhcial organ of the
Administration, in an editorial relative
to the rebellion concludes as follows
! ''Tha lullaby Of knaves and fools, 1.-The
9 Ugioa as Il soas, has outraged she com
mon sense of the country long enough.
The Union as il was, Ia buried in q grave
from which there Is no FesoaEEecsion. No
Union 10 now possible, except Of free
States" ..t BE-. .~-s F..
This is plain declaration the Union
~ it was, is ''lullahy Of knavss aud
foots.n Hence none bat knaTes OF fools
desire to zee the Union restored. sThe
Union as IL VIA is buried 10 grave from
which there is no resurrection" Ii this
be 50, then what are We sighting for
The Editor Of ths Rapabasean gives the
answer as follows ''No Union IL now
| possible, except Of fTes States" Hence
Ii follows that the war Ia for ths abolish
mensof slavery, 80 that there saa be q
Union OF AIRES States = and If this can
