A---AA.l--1l -
Union. And the next thing to know
what tits for. We have never doubted
that the real object of the war is to lay the
foundation of despotic power in this coun-
try. Il is evident that in time Of peace the
people could not have been brought to
submit to tyranny. 1t is necessary to
have pretense--a great excuse-to get
the people to give silent consent to the vi
olent change sought to be made in their
institutions. This war did not come un-
expectedly, and it did not come unwished
for by the leaders of the "Union" party.
Many years ago JoHs QUiNcY ADAMS,
joshua r. GlDDINGs, and many others OF
them, popular and representative men,
talked about the subversion Of the Repub-
lie by bloody civil war. From the days
of old JoHN ADAMS and the Alien and Sc
dition laws, there has been pestilent nest
of conspirators in the Northern States seek
ing the upsetting of the Republic.
The cloven foot has been visible
in all their legislation tariffs
to role labor and enrich the capitalist /;
banks to support in ease a class of specu.
lators, and enable them to iatten and ac-
cumulate enormous sums by the villain
Gus operation of the system franchises
aud grants of power have been their con-
tinued policy. They have no other policy.
Law is with this party, but trap to en-
snare the ignorant and unwary.
The people have listened to their treach-
erous stories of Union and have entrusted
them with complete power, and they have
proceeded rapidly to overthrow every safe
guard of liberty, and now they tell us the
Union shall not be preserved. 1t may
be true that our institutions are to perish,
but there is fatality attending the crimi-
mails who have destroyed them, and they
will not long enjoy the spoil they have
perjured themselves to acquire. They have
stepped their souls in villainy, and turned
the whole energies of their natures to the
practice of falsehoo cd and oppression. But
even now they turnin dismay from the
magnitude of the task, and admit their in
ability to complete it. We hear the poor
miserable wretches calling for leader.
A ORoMwELL or CESAR would be well
coined by them. But the country is not
yet ready for Cesar. We have not
yet had MARIUs. There is much bloody
work to do ere absolute power can be es-
tablished in this country on permanent
basis. The Constitution of our people
makes them love liberty, and the day is
not far distant when the people will de-
mand the punishment of their betrayers.

tanned by such members Of the representa-

doubt that it is the intention of the social

doubted their intention to destroy the

in reality they were not in favor of a Re

subjected to the vile embraces of the cx-
