The abolition-republicans, to convince
the people of their love for the Union, se
lasted for their motto, at the beginning of
this war those noble wordsof Gen. Jack
son : "'The Union—it must and shall WI
preserved 1" This motto they printed up
yDn their banners, end i waving them before
the .ple, cried, Oh ! that we had the
014 : ero to lead us in this war Oh!
that Gen. Jackson was now in the-Presi
dential chair! Then would the rebellion
soon be suppressed, and the Union again
relfored ! But never, until the war be
gin?, did these words which they adopted
for their war-cry, escape their hr. Nev
er had they pretended any admiration for
his horoic virtues, or studied to follow the
percepts of that - departed statesman in his
efftitta to preserve the Union. All at once
they are enthusiastic in his , praise—ran
sack the history of the past to show how
be once put down treason at the South,
and saved our Republic. They parade be
fore the world his condemnation of trait
ors in that portion of the United States,
but leave carefully concealed among the
dusty pages of his writings, his denunci
ations of liortherntreason also.
After a battle in which our Union ar
mies are defeated at the South, it is said
Ow rebels go over the battle-field and rob
our dead Union warriors of their uniforms,
and robing themselves therein, appear a
mong our Union troops 4s good Union
soldiers. So perfect is tie disgmae, that
none but an eye-witness of the' robbery
would dream that beneath those shining
'vestments was hidden the form of a trait
or. Thus the republicans have searched
over the battle-field of the defeated Union
army of Democrats, with whom they have
been in almost deadly conflict, and have
stolen the bright armor,
and the shining
tubes ef patriotism from Gen. Jackson and.
'Lames of those great warriors for the
Union, and now appear among the peo
ple for good Union soldiers: The dutyof
an eye-witness to the robbery of our dad
soldiers, and the detection of the rebels
arrayed in their stolen garments, would
be, to bring them before a court-martial,,
- make, proof of their guilt, and have them
stripped of their disguise. ' So an nye
witness of this robbery of our great Un
ion statesmen, by republicans now appear
ing dressed in the garb of these patnots,
is in duty bound to bring them before the
tribimal of public opinion;: . to answer the
chlar4-
You wanted the Union preserved, did
s•you ? You_kfieve that Gen. Jackson was
the man ,(o save the Union in any
crisis of diiiiter, 'Then you rushed to his
' side when he called for aid in Dec. 1835, ,
to save the Union from the forces gather
ing under a rebel leader named Wm.
17:,:)yd Garrison. Jackson had just saved
us from destruction by nullifiers in South
Carolina,when to ! while still seated' in the
chair of state, clothed with authority, and
sworn to save the Constitution and the
" Union, be beholds a hand of traitors in
Massachusetts, who, discarding the-mot
to, "The Union must and shall be pre
served," placed upon their banners, "This
Union is a curse—the Constitntion 'is a
-league with death and a.covenant with
bell," and under that flag this army was
fast accumulating. How alarmed Gen.
Jackson was for the safety of the Reptib
lie will be seen by his appeal forvolun
teers to help put down this second-rebell
ion. He semis' forth his proclamation,
which reaches every cottage in the lad.
Look, said he, at this alarming state of af
fairs. "I must call Tour attention, fellow
citizens, to the painful excitement
_pro
duced in the South by attempts to mmu
- late, through the mails, inflammatory ap
peals addressed to the passions' of the
slaves " •
Now, where did these inflammatory ap
peals to the slaves come from ? The an
, ti-slavery society, with Garrison at its
,head, were trying to produce a servile in
surrectionin the south.
" There is doubtless," said the Old
He
ro, "no respectable portion of our-conn
trymen -who can be so far misled, as to
feel any other sentiment than ttiaV of in
dignant regret at conduct so flistractive"
Of the harmony and perezd'our country;
so repugnant to the principles of our na

compact, and to thevlictates of hu
sznanityand religion. Oar 'happiness" de
rends upon peace within bur l .bpdern, and
peace depends upon the manitenanoe„ in
good faith, of those compromises of the
Constitution upon' which oar Union is
founded. It is fortunate for our country
that the good sense,-the generous feeling ,
the deep-rooted•attachment of the pe ople
of the -non-slaveholding state's - to the n
ion, and to their fellow-citizeus of the
same -blood in the south, have given so

It was just as each =the duty, of the peo

then, as it is their duty now to obey the
voice of Abrabion Lincoln. But that thou-
undo did not obey him, and come-tootl ,

two years later, in which he tells Abe
people,for the last time, that they Will see

titter the abolitionists:
-
" I take this , otics - utioni" said this aged
patriot; " upon retiring finally from public
life,lto offer you the counsels of age and
experience: We have now lived , ahnosts
fiftylyears undetthe Constitution framed
by the patriots and sages of the Revolu
tion. Our Constitution is no longer, an
experiment; it has preserved uninjured
the liberties of the people, and our coun
try is flourishing beyond any example in
the history of nations. , The necessity , of
watching with jealous anxiety 'for the
preservation of` therUnion, was earnestly
pressed upon the people by , the Father of
his country in his fareu ell, address. .. :And
when we look around us, we , see the dan-
.
g. era against !Mobile warned us, every
-day becoming more and' more apparent;
andttle signs of evil are siifficiently evi
dent to awaken' the deepest angiety in,
the bosom of the patriot. We behold sys
tematic attempts publicly triode to, sow•the
seeds of discord between different partsof
the United States, to excite the North
against the South, and the South against
the North. -Ras the warning voice of
Washington beenforgotten? Motives cf.
philanthropy may be asigned fOr the un
warrantable interference, and weak men
may persuade themselves that they are la
boring in the cause ,of. humanity, and . as-
Alerting the rights of the human race; but
eve!' one, upon reflection, will see that
nothing but mischief Can come from
these. =Proper Rissaults upon the feelings,
and rights of others. Rest assured That
the men (mind busy in this work of dis
cord pre not worthy your confidence, and
deserve your strongest reorObatioe"- , --
' [Andrew Jackson, March, 1837. • - :
Mr, Republican, who weee these men
whom Gen. Jackson in 1837 pointed Out
;as - engaged in this work• of discord, pre
tending to be laboring • for humanity;
and asserting the rights of the human
race? Not Toombs and Rhett, not Yan
cey, or "Maaon, or Slidell, of the South,'
but Wendell Phillips, Theodore' Parker,
Gerrit Smith, • George B. Cheever, , C._ C.
Burleigh, and their thousands-of follow
ers in the North. These Men; said Gen.
Jaoksob, are net worthy your confidence.
They are engaged in the work of-discord,
not Union I Working, for the destruction,
not the prinervation of the Union.' These
men deservi your strongest reprobation.
Now, did you enlist under •the flag or the
and-elaiery society any time belore' this
-war commenced ? Then you were; One
that assisted in this work of discerd ; then
you were figiiting against die flag ofJack
son and Washingtori, for Gen. .Taokson
told you that these, men were produ
cing the . very evils of which Washington
_forewarned us. You not only disobeyed•
the counsels, of Jackson, but of the Father
of his country, and we have General-Jack
sods own words to prove it., Now, .to
show that thiS anti-slavery society was
working for the express purpolie ofdes
' troying this- government, we Will give
their own acknowledgment.. Garrison,
the great rebel chieftain, said : ." If such a
process were necessary to restore liberty
,to the captive, I would tread the UniOn
or the Constitution under my feet, as soon
as I - . would a viper that stung ine."—
There, sirs, are the vipers—the - Union and
the Constitution—these are the copper
heads which abolitionists would tread nn
der their feet! The anti-slavery Stand-
AM said; "The Constitutioit'of the -Uni
ted States is- a pro-slavery instrument,
'which renders every voluntary supporter
of it actually and essentially- a slavehold
er- and while it continues in force, and/ is
administered in accordance with its, letter
and spirit, j_slave can never 'come to, an
end, save -1 1hrou - th e will of each IE indi

action; therefore, for the abolition of slave
