Who seek to Destroy the UnfOn
and the Constitution

sing that we have any warrant IN the
Constitution for this proceeding.
''This talk of restoring the Union as 1t
was, under the Constitution as 1t Is, Is
one of the absurdities which l have heard
repeated until 1 have become sick about
1t. The Union can never be restored as
it was. There are many things which
render such an event impossible. This
Union never shall, with my consent, 5c Z.
restored under the Constitution as it is,
with slavery to be protected 10y it.-Ihad-

"Speaking for ourselves, we can hoE-
estly say that for the old Union, which
was kept in existence by Southern mena-
ces and Northern concessions, we have no
regrets and no wish for its reconstruc-
ton.
'Who wants Union which is nothing
but sentiment to lacquer Fourth of
July orations withal?
elf by chance, in ancient times, the
criminal felt the loathsome corpse, which
justice had tied upon his shoulders, slip
ping of-he did not, we fancy, cry out /:
"Oh wretched man that | am who will
fasten me again to the body OF this
death 90 Ii we are, in the providence of
God, to be delivered from unnatural alli-
ances-if the January of slavery is no
longer to chill by unnatural embraces the
May of human hope, who is there weak

"The Fremont party is moulding pub
lie sentiment in the right direction for the
specific work the Abolitionists are striving
to accomplish-the dissolution of the
Union, and the abolition of slavery
throughout the land. - I'm. Lloy! Gar
Ilson, n 1886.

Cotton States, or any other State this

if slavery is to continue ?''-Hon. .H:.

"This is an immense sacrifice we are
making for freedom and Union: and yet,
is it all to be s9uandered upon 4 subter-
fuge and cheat? For one, | shall not
vote another dollar or a man for the war
until it assumes different standing, and
tends directly to an anti-siavery result"

g tell you there is going to be dis
solution of the Union, and do not care

those fellows (the Southrens a good lick

"Seven or eight States now deny their
allegiance to this Government f.; have or
ganized separate Confederacy, and have
declared their independence of this Gov
ernment Whether that independence is
TO be maintained or not, is with the fiI-
ture. If they shall maintain their posi-
tion, and if public opinion in the seeded
States shall sustain the authorities there
for year or two to come, so rs to show
that nothing but 4 war of subjuga.ion
and conquest can bring them back, /, for /
one, am disposed to recognise their indie |
pendence N-Ben1oms'" Stanton, FeJrmuy

"Ihere was no freedom at the South
Tor either black or white and he we,,Id !
strive to protect the free soil of the North |
from the same blighting curse There
was really no union between the North !
and the South and he believed no two
nations upon the earth entertained feelinos
OF more bitter rancor towards each other
than these two sections of the Republic.
The only salvation of the Union. there
fore, was TO be found in divcsting if en-
tirely from all taint Of slavery. There
was no union with the South. Let ms
have Union, or let us sweep away this
remnant which we call a Union 90
TOR Union where all men are equal. or
for no Union at all, and 90 for right"
