"In tho meantime, the monstrous heresy

again ho saya :

" The Object of the War. "
Tho abovo is tho heading of an hereti
cal article iu tho Scranlon Republican ;
in which among other things, tho editor
eays i
"For ourself,wo do tot want to soo tho"
'old system restored."
And that is now tho talk of ovory repub
lican paper you tako up. This "War for
tho Union" is to be a "war for abolition,"
or a "war for cftjunion." The old system,
the Union as it was under the constitution
of Washington is not to bo "restored."
The war is to be ,for dissolution or aboli
tion; it is no longer a war to restore tho
Union as it was uiado by our fathers. It
is not tho Union of Jefferson and Han
cock,, of Marion and Wayne ; but a now
ono of Sumner and Giddings and Jim
Lane.
Ou this same point wo refer our readers
to an articlo headed "A Year ago," in
Which tho same doctrine is taught by an
other abolition republican sheet. Thoy
all cry "Wo Jo not want to see tho old
system restared." Oh ! how has this
t "Wartfor tie Union"' degenerated, and
howare these patriots plotting to destroy it,
But wo tell them tho Union will be ro-

with entire truth, says : Tho Democratic

stood, and where, as long as it remains
faithful to Democratic Principles, it must
always stand, on tho sido of tho Csnstilu
tion. Strict and iustantanoous obedienoo
to each and every Constitutional provis

the Democratic conscience : and full and
constant recognition of tho Constitution
as being tho only obligation that rests up
on the pcoplo of all sections of tho country
and ;i3 being, also, the only sourco of tho
power of the Federal government, is re
quired as a condition of momborship with

that against every party, and every polioy
that is not rigidly aud honcntly Constitu

the Democracy always stands itself in de
