LoYALITY-WHAT is T2-The edi.
tor OF the Chattanooga Union, who
fought four years in the Federal armies.
and is still as much attached to the Union
as ever, makes the following sensible
remarks in relation to what constitutes
loyalty;
1--WE would confess ourselves under
obligations to any one competent to IN.
form US who would tell us in what 10y.
atty consist, and to whom fealty is dne.
Unless the teachings of the greatest
statesmen of the country were wrong,
there can be no allegiance due from a
citizen ofthe United States to any per.
son. but only to the Constitution OF the
United States, and that loyalty consists
solely'in obedience to the laws, and res.
pect and reverence for the Constitution
of the United States, and secondly, to
the Constitution and laws of whichever
of the several States any one may
chance to reside in.
"Such, at least, are our opinions upon
this point, and we are unaware of anv
constitutional provision which makes i
necessary to curse .rebelsin order to es.
tablsh our own loyalty. In point of
fact, we deny that there are now anv
rebels. Certainly those who engaged
in the rebellion, but who acknowledged
its defeat, and are now using every en-.
deavorto show themselves good citizens,
are not rebels, and, if they have done
wrong previously, it would certainly be
more sensible,t to encourage them in their
present well.doipg than to berate them
for their former errors.
"For those who are still striving to
stir up sedition and revolution. no mat.
ter what side they may have espoused
during the late war. we have nothing
but blame (; but those who now respect
the Constitution Of the United States as
the supreme law of the land who are
willing to obey all tho laws, and
who are striving to do their duty
in that state of life to which it has pleas.
ed Gcd to call them we say, with.
out caring to examine into the record,
you are now the loyal men Of the coun.
try. '4 80 .'a
"sWe stand, then, firmly upon the
platform, that no other test of LOYALTY
can be, rightfqlly demanded of any
man than to acknowledge tho Constitu.
ton Of the United States as the supreme
law Of the land, and to obey all the laws
OF his country"
