Strange to say, this very (Democraticl
party, or many Of them, who, when Lincoln
was first elected, said "the South ought now
to leave the Union" were the very first to
jump into the ranks to bring them back,
Vehemently vocifersting "the Union as 1t
was and the Constitution as it is" when
they were told by the party who then held
the relns OF government, in language so
plain "that one who runs could read" that
1.-The Constitution of the United States is
league with hell and a covenant with the
devil" and as for Union as it was, they
spurn the idea, spit upon it. "Tbe negro of
the South must be elevated, the bite man
put down to level with him." they say,
and Democrats endorse the sentimeut.-
Even Governor Seymour, under the plea of
lighting for the Union, is lending himself
and the great State of New York, to the
Abolition party to aid and abet them in
their hellish purpose of subjugation, confs-
cation, determination and anaalgdmation.
