being in favor Of vigorous prosecution


Of the war for the preservation of the


Union, but who used all their influence


as soon as elected to cripple the power OF


the General Government, and to compel


1t to surrender to rebels with arms in


their hands. The Enquirer upholds and
justiEes these men in this enormous


crime. 1t did all it could before the war


began to make the South think it had


just cause for rebellion, and it is now


doing all it can to render the designs Of


that rebellion successful. 1t opposes every


thing that can strengthen, and favors


every thing that can weaken the Union


cause. 1t is paper only fit to be taken


and read by traitors, and with its coadju-


tors North and South is fast bringing
about this result. The honest masses Of
the people, many of whom have hereto


fore been deceived by the name of par.


ty which has in former years been as true


to the Union as the needle to the poles,
are now coming fully to realize that there
are really but two parties in the country,


those who seek to preserve the Union
and those who seek to destroy it. And


they will abandon and consign to eternal


infamy those leaders who, under the
name Of Democracy, strive to seduce
them into the paths Of disunion and re-
bellion. The masses are beginning to
understand very clearly THAT the DEMoc-
RAoY of the Enquirer, which makes love
to traitors, and would abandon the whole
country to their destructive rule, is not
the Democracy of jackson, whose eyes
flashed fire, and whose voice sent terror
into the ranks Of these same traitors
Who are the true successors of Andrew
Jackson? are they the men who "pour
contempt upon Union meeting" got up
without distinction Of party, by a major
ity Of whose speakers have been lifelong
Democrats, and who still p,ove both by
word and deed thst they are the genuine
POLITICAL decendents Of Jefferson, Of Mad
Olson, Of Jackson? Instead Of these H. |
lustrious names, tie Enquirer must take
shelter under the shadow of three other
names-Burr, Calhoun, and Breckin-
ridge.


Old political issues are dead and bu~i-
ed. The only question before the Amer
lean people is, whether we shall preserve
the Government which God and our faith
ers have given us, or surrender it to trait
ors who have risen up 10 destroy it? How
long does any man with an ounce Of brains
in his head, think it will take real Jack.
son Democrat to decide such question
as this? The question is rapidly coming
to be understood. For or against our
country will very soon be the distin-
gushing mark to decide between the par.
lies into which the people are rapidly sep
srating. The course Of the Enquirer and
Kindred papers is forcing this result upon
;he country And contrary to what was
nanifestly intended, the unblushing sym.
oathy with open treason which these
sheets display, makes it impossible that
their designs can longer be covered up.
In the Joy of their fancied success, they
nave incautiously shown their real char.
scter too soon. Bnt it is now too late to
'ttempt further to dissemble. If it will
BRING masked treason to the surface to
lave Union meetings all over the lard,
ct us have them. 1t can not be known
90 quickly who are for the country and
Tho are against it.
