Union. We are shackled with no hate,
no preiudices, no passions-we wish for
fraternal relationship with the people of
the South-we demand for them what
we demand for ourselves u full recogni-
ton Of the rights Of states. We mean
that every star on our nations ban
ner shall shine with one and the same
luStre
In the coming election men must de
eide with which of the two parties into
which our people are divided they will
act If they wish for Union they will
act with that party which will hold the
Union together. They will act with
that party which does now and always
did have a reverence for the Union. If
they wish for peace they will act with
those who sought to avert this war or
who now seek TO restore good will and
harmony among all the sections of our
country. If they care for their rights
and for the sacredneSs of their homes
they will act with those who have stood
up TO resist arbitrary arrests and des-
potic legislation and overthrow OF the
judiciary. II upon the other hand they
are willing to continue the present pol
lev of the government and the condition
of affairs, let them act with that organi-
cation which made the present condi-
ton of our country, There are many
good men who will be led to do this by
their passion and prejudice, and our
land swarms with placemen who will
hold upon power with deadly grasp.
