pie should have both sides, that they may act
intelligeutly;
Another principle must be embodied il the
reorganized forms Of government. The men

The farce of restoring the Union as it was
is now played out > Washington Republican
We favored. in the infancy of secession
the policy of letting the cotton States go, if il
should appear that the people really desired to
cut loose from the Union We be-
lieved then, as we realize now, that events
would fully Justify our recommendation New
York Tribune
The Union as it was viii never bless the
vision of any pro-savery fanatic, or secession
sympathiser. and it never ought to. 1t is q
thing of the past, hated of every patriot, and
destined never to curse an honest people, or
blot the pages of history again" Chicago
Tribune.
Better recognize the Southern Confederacy
at once, and stop this effusion of blood, than
to continue in this ruinous policy, or have even
a restoration of the Union as it was''- Maj

CAS- the gentleman from Kentucky has re-
lerred to me- merely wish to say, so far as
the question is concerned, that so long as |

which l advanced as a sentiment of the Presi-
dent, much more desire the determination of
Slavery, if it can be constitutionolly Effected
as belive it can-than | do to see the Union

"No act of ours do we regard with more
conscientious approval or higher satisfaction,
none do we submit more confidently to the tri-
bunal of Heaven and the moral verdict of
mankind, than that when, several years since,
on the 4th of July, in the presence of a great
assembly, we committed to the flames the
Constitution of the United States And should
the present bloody struggle end in any com
promise with the South, or in recognizing any
constitutional obligations to shareholders, or
slave hunters in the border States we shall
again give that instrument to the consuming
fire, and renew our protest against it as g a
covenant with death and an agreement with
hell - [Garrison's paper, April 81. 1868.
And these Constitution burners and ANAL
gamationists, are the men whose support our
noble President thought he could not lose,
and is conducting his Administration in ac
cordance with their views The citizen who
dare raise his voice against this policy of the
Administration, is arrested, tried aud con-
demned by military authority. Nevertheless
the policy will be supported only by idiots,
bigots aid slaves, for it was long ago written,
" He who cannot reason is an idiot he who
will not is bigot and he who dare not is
slave" Reasoning men will reject such gov
ernment as these constitution-burning amalga-
mationists would force upon the country.
