American Union than in soore OF other govern
mcuts that have been created and get aside,
leaving the community litte the worse for ito many

e.evatiug the Union into hing divine and mmuta-

be modified whenever necessity demands H. Ir the peo
pie could perceive how favorable would have been their
condition il they had assented TO political
mise our cOnlrased with their present saie
After all the sacrifices OF life and money wasted FOR
extinct Union they must regret the spirit that pro-
duce such bisots as General Paine and lit them into
authority they have too little TO Such
men are obliged TO hide their real weakness under vio
lent language or acts OF revolving ferocity.
