Abolition proceedings, not only ne-, ftblinc disease as ajustiticition forgoing
groes will crowd wiiite men out oi oiii-
ces. but thousands of the laborers of the
North will have the bread taken out
of the mouths of their families by ne
gro competition with them in work.
That is the tendency of things : to ex
alt the negro at the expense of the
white man.
A Union Party. The idea of a
"Union'' party, to be composed of
old republican fossils, is worse- than
ridiculous. Tho predominating ele
ment Abolition is disunion and tho
plunder clement cares only for spoils.
Fortunately for the country there is
now, as there always has been since
the organization of our Govcrment,
a (rue Union organzntion, the Demo
cratic parly. The Democrcy made
our country great, prosperous and
Jiavm and "it would have continued
so to this hour, hut for the spirit of
sectional Abolition.

The reverend editor of ono of these

a counterfeit bill!" Dr. l'estian.in con-
ying this item adds: "Wo may soften
our Gorman friend's grievances by quo

which, when he had taken it home for

'You arc, eh?" coolly rejoined tho

"Yes, I am," was tho response.
"Well, then you had better not pre

"'I hen wo are to c-timate emancipation
