Loyal or DIsioyaI.
From the commencement Of the war there
have been two classes OF reople in the North.
the one calling themselves loyal and calling the
other disloVal The line Of distinction
drawn 10y these Pharsaical reople IN this manner:
II n man was for freeing the negro ; whether tie
Union WAS sased or not. he was loyal: but IL he
was Tor saving the Union at any rate. he vas d.
loyal. This was the only test. We state plain
truth, susceptible Of abundant proof The worst
eneme. Of the Union. men who have a thousand
times taken solemn Oaths in the presence Of
crowds that they would II possible destroy the
Union. because they regarded IL n n covenant
with death and an agreement with hell. these
men were accounted loyal. were placed in honor
able positions were welcomed on the floor ~ the
United States Senate, we're praised by the whole
party Of self STYLED lovalisis When the neces
sity for volunteers became urgent. these men
cOunseled citizens not 10 enlist unless proclaim,
ton Of universal freedom made. They dis
couraged enlistments everywhere. This is sim
pie truth We extracted from their papers the
most violent appeals 10 the people against enlist
ment Their orators declared that "it jeff
Davis would proclaim freedom they would rather
feht for him than for Lincoln and The Union ="
We challenge denial OF this statement. But
while UnioH mon were arrested, and Union IA
pcrs suppressed, these enemies OF their country
were neither moested nor warned. but on the
contrary were paronized and peitcd. So, by the
most natural process in the world, the peop e
hogan to be divided. and fatally divided. Aud

the truly loyal party. which has done the country
true service.
From tho outset the conservative party has fur
nshed men aud money TO the Government. while
the self styled loyal party has shouted for negro
freedom The grand service rendered by the lat
