iions q the Republican party Iftbcrc was a
difference between them upon any principle
or measure affecting the welfare Of our country,
unhappy under Republican party rule. we
should gladly -tep forward anil unite with
that division which held ont any assurance Of
being truly for the Union; a.. by di.avoving
the wanton breaches Of constitutional faith
with the south. which drove her into rebellion
and broke up the Government; by disavoving
further the military despoti.m. and lawless
usurpations and corruption II the state Repub-
nean Administration. aud by promising. ia f,i-
ture. respect Ter the Constitution, this being the
great time-honored principle Of the Democratic
party. But A. neither wing Of the party dis-
avOws The propositions that our flag Is a ilaunt-
ing lie: the Constitution league with hell;
nor the declaration Of MIR CHASE, in the Peace
Convention. that the Republicans Of the North
did not regard the Constitution n binding on
them and would not obey H.; we can side with
neither 81 the factions II that party, which. be-
fore any Southern rebellion occurred. really
broke up the Government by practically abro-
eating the Constitution by which il was formed.
While. however. we cannot unite ourselves
with either faction Of lawicss Constitution
breakers. we may impartialy Judge between
them.

in this matter, JULIAN l. the more open and
