WHO ARE THE DISUNlONlSTS?
The Damning Record,

On the 14th day of December, 1868,
in the House of Representatives at Wash |
ington, Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, a Denar
ocrat, offered series of resolutions de- |
clarng ''that the States in rebellion are
''not out Of the Union, and should not be
''held as Territories and subjugated prov
''inces that the only condition to proper
relations should be unconditional sub
emission to the Constitution and laws of
'sthe United States, and that when this is
accomplished, the war ought TO cease"
Thaddeus Stevens (disunionist) moved
to lay the resolutions on the table; which
motion was carried, by vote of eighty-eight
disunionists-all Republicans-to sirty-sir
enthusiastically all Democrats.
See House Journal, 1st Session 38th Con-
gress, page 40.
The vote on this resolution establishes
beyond all cavil and dispute, that the
Democracy are not only the true friends
of the Union, but that they endeavored
to preserve inviolate, the faith of the ma
ton as pledged by the Crittenden resolu-
ton while the Republicans are the Bit
ter unrelenting foes of the Union, who
recklessly violated pledge, given with a
unanimity that should have sanctified it
against Infringement.
