I'VE know that any quantity of timid men |

our party. We think differently, and firm
ly believe that the only hope we have to |
hold our Government in the hands of loyal |
men, is to expose the Tdscdlity and drire out the
thteres. To remain silent is to connive at
the frauds and protect the rogues."
ANOTHER BATCH OF DIsUNIoNIsM.
In 1853, the Millodukee Free Democrat, in
a long article, endeavoring to educate the
public mind to the idea that it was to the
interest of the North to dissolve the Union,
favored its readers with the following Re-
publican conclusion: 1t- --
"We repeat the assertion, that the Union
Is not aoorth a copper to the North in any
point OF Uieto, but is perpetual sacrifice OF
both money aud III orals, an assertion
which we can make good"
The Boston Commonwealth, SUMMERS Or
gan, says:
"How dare any man pray for the return
of that fostering wrong-that sin and
shame7-the Union as it was? 1t is like
breaking the tables of the Eternal Law.

JOHN A. BINGHAM, now a member of
Congress from Ohio, while stumping Con-
necticut for the Republicans, in 1868,
said:
"Who in the name of God wants the
cotton States, or any other State this side
of perdition, to remain in the Union, il
slavery is to continued"
THE CONSTITUTION COMMITTED TO THE
FLAMES.
The Boston Liberator of April "a, 1863,
thus gloried in its treason and hatred of
our Cons itntion. 1t is edited by WIN.
LLOYD GARRISON, now being Jeted in Eng
land, who, when leaving the United States
a few weeks since, was presented with a
purse of over $4,000 in gold by the lead
ing Republicans in Boston, as token of
respect for the eminent services he had rem
dered the cause:
'sNo act of ours do we regard with more
conscientious approval, or highsr Satisfaction
none do we submit more confidently to
the tribunal of Heaven and the verdict of
mankind, than when, several years ago, on
the Fourth of July, in the presence of a
great assembly. zoe committed to the flames
the Constitution Of the United States, because
lin the language of John Quincy Adams)-
THE bargain between freedom and
slavery was morally and politically vic
ious, inconsistent with the principles on
which alone our revolution can be justified,
and cruel and oppressive, by riviting the
chains of the oppressed, and pledging the
faith and freedom to maintain and perpet-
uate the tyranny of the MASTER
"And should the present bloody strug-

cations to shareholders or slave hunters, in
the border States, aoe shall again gtce that in
strunlent to the consuming fire and renew our
protest against It, as a coUeRant roith death,

In the Court of conscience, and before
God, it matters not what slaveholding
agreements or compromises may be found
in the Constitution or out of it, they are
inhuman, unjust and immoral, and there
fore null and uoid, and if a man can retain
Office or be voter under the Government
only on condition of sustaining COM
promises, then it is certain, that if he
would not do evil, that good may come, he
must relinquish office holding, and refuse
to cast vote stained with human blood.
His motto is. and must be, as one loyal to
right and duty, no Union aoith Shareholders"
Man is more than constitutjons-
That to be true to church and sta'e,
| While we are doubly false to God.'
OPPOSED TO THE UNION AS IT WAS.
During the same year, this same VIM.
LLOYD GARRISON, in a speech in Philadel-
phia, said: .a.-a.
s'Since the war broke out there has been
no Union. How did it happen that the
Union was broken in the twinkling of an
eye? The God of the oppressed has done
it. The Jaws of justice and right are vim
dicating the commands of God, sWoe to
the rebellious children saith the Lord,
that taketh not their counsel of me- In
spite OF our experience. there are thou
sands of men yet in favor of the policy of
restoring the Union as it was. AS well
might man blown up by a bombshell
propose, in the other land, to come back
again and have the experiment tried over
again with the bombshell as it was"

JUST WHAT THEY INTENDED TO BRING
ABOUT.
WENDELL PHILLIPS, who, within the
last week, has been gravely proposed in the
New York Tribune, as a candidate for Pres
ident, with JOHN NJ. LANGsToN, an Ohio
Negro, for Vice President, more honest
than most of his party leaders, in late
speech, said:
mo man HAS GO uo dL
this state of things. 1t is Just what we alb
olitionists aud disunionists have attempted
to bring about. There is merit in the Re-
publican party. 1t is the first sectional par
ty ever organized in this country. 1t does
not know its own face, but calls itself ma
tional but it is not national-itis is sectional.
The Republican party is party of the
North pledged against the South"
This same WENDELL PHILLIPS, in
speech at Cincinnati, since the war COM
menced, boasted that
Il have labored nineteen years to take
sixteen States out of this Union"
PHILLIPS has not been as successful as
he hoped for. Instead of sixteen, he and his
brother Radicals have driven only ten
States out of the Union.
PHILLIPS VICE PRESIDENT AGAINST THE
.-'. UNION.
During the excitement attendant on the
trial of the Wellington rioters, in Cleve-
land, the Negro LANGsToN. proposed for
Vice President on the ticket with WENDELL
PHILLIPS for President said:
"But why preserve the Union, when its
only object is to eternize slavery? Such
Union is not worth perpetuating. With all

Parson Brownie W, in his debate with

said:

large portion of the Northern Abolitionists
are aiming at."-See Bro,onloto and P,y,aes
