Constitution and It bee, mc> all loyal
men to bow to the will of the majority.
Although the popular verdict Is render

for Union men to do. 1t should be the
desire of every lover of his country to
make the majority for Lincoln and John

that Mr. Lincoln'> policy is backed up by
the will OF an overwhelming majority of
the Northern people. they will be diSheart-

sooner than if the Union men appear di-
viled and give their administration but a
feeble support.
