The so-CaiIed Union Men.

To hear Abolitionists boast Of theil
Unionism is ike anymph of the paw,
prating Of virtue, a thing So long los
as to be nearly forgotten. Fer year.
the Abolition leaders sought power t.
disrupt the Union, and now in thu
hour of their supposed triumph thet
claim to be Union men. They are
for Union that will lop off all tn,
States where their doctrines are viewed
with that horror which the fears of q
servile insurrection excites-not the
Union as it was, but an Abolition
Union, governed, as fMrs Burlingame
said, !"by an anti-slayery god" A U,
Mon, ike that bequcatAed US by oui
our fathers, composed of slave and
free States, they oppose, and to show
their abhorance of the people of the
South managing their own affairs in
their own way, they have wrecked the
old Union, and now seek to reduce the
slave States to mere provinces depen>
dent on the General Government,
while New England and other Aboli-
ton States rer ain lords of the ascen-
dant, giving laws and Governors to
the States thus under the ban of Fed
eralism. a.a5 ss-s. at. al 20 W
Talk to one Of these men about the
Union, and never did man boast of
more love. Ask them if they would
be willing to see the war stopped
and the old Union restored with slaA
very as before the war, commenced,
and they will stutter and stammer and
do their best to eYade the question.
Press them for an answer. and it will
come in negative. Indeed The Tri-
bune, more honest than its fellows,
has made open boast that it was not in
favor of reconstruction of the old
Union with slavery In it--for the me-
gro it would sink the Union and break
up the Republic. The leaders are not
for the Union as our fathers framed it,
but are unconditional Union men if
they can have everything as they wish
but not otherwise. p.r-
And yet these Abolition leaders,
with their cant and affected love for
the country, have duped many honest
men into the belief that they are SIM,
cere, when their whole political life is
a living witness of their deep hypo-
crlsy and want of truth. The old
Union never suited them, and they
never suited the old Union. 1t was
too broad and expansive for their
narrow souls, and they were too selfish
and too sectional for its expanded do
main and diversified interests.
When attacked by foreign foe
these Abolition leaders never fought
for the Union; when laws, demanded
by the Constitution, were to be passed
they opposed, and when passed these
same men formed unlawful combina-
ton to resist their execution. Although
the fathers Of these men, previous to
to the year 1903, when the slave trade
vas abolished, supplied the South with
''human chattels" from the coast of
Africa, yet their sons spent much of
the money thus acqvired in stealing
and running of on the underground
railroad the offspring of the very
slaves stolen from Africa by their fa-
thers. 4.., s
How can men who act thus be Union
men? The thing is impossible. They
orate Of their Unionism, it is true,
md the arch fiend, it is said, can quote
Scripture when it suits his purpose
# sincere, they would seek to right
he wrongs they have inflicted on the
would repeal all their uncon-
laws, rescind all their mill
tary orders that conflict with the Con-
and annul all the silly and
proclamations which Pres
dent Lincoln, by the advice and con.
ent of his Abolition advisers, has is
ued, and which, acting as firebrands,
nave the tendency to further excite
he people and prolong the war.--[N.
