These, readers, are but few of the
names under which the "Loyalists' of
to day have fourished, in attempting
to overthrow the democracy and the
principles of our government. From
the beginning they have had the same
intention is the establishment of
monarchy. They have ever as to-day
been despisers of the Constitution of
the United States, violaters of law and
order, advocates of nobocrscy, support
ers of the suppression of the freedom
of speech and of the press, and in ia
vor of military despotism, and the So
cial and political equality of the negro
with the white. Every intelligent man
must. by this time, agree in our opin 4
ion, with the Quaker, who. upon baing
urged by leading aholitiouist to join
The Union League. replied:
"Friend thou changest thy name too
often 1 have known thee as Whig,
Is Free Solle1, as Native American,
IS a Know rotbing, as a sneerer at the
Union, as Loyal Lea aZuer, and thou
how macy more titles. and
cannot trust thee. Whsn brother
Died fell from grace, and became a
.ogue, he changed his name, and !
nave found that whenever men design
making their living by dishonest means
hey are alvays,likely to do the same:
IF thou dost ever adopt one name and
yet of principles, and hold on to them
or .hfty years as the Democrats have
lone I may begin to trust thee"
