That, then, is ton whole game which may'event mite in the entire destruc tion of this once happy Union : for fin a sole object will be to place all the obstacles in the way of reconciliation by congression al enactments, so that Demoortitio Adminis lratien will find the "road to pence" clogged up with abolition "anogg and ruts in the shape of confiscation, emincipation subjugation, annihilation, miscegenation and , iitliversal damnation" that it will be al most an imposihility to surmount them Nlark that ! It will turn out to be! nous than a prediction ! Those who think the Republican or abolition party intend to save this country front' ditiuniin are sadly de ceived.
