their slaves the source. of their Political

Nnrthern strength, •as the result' of frea
institutions_ and free toils, .came the pas,
session of pollitical power and the gradual
resistance to the encroachments of slavery.
Nor need we remind the people , - of the
outrages that followed the efforts of the
slaveholders, to recover their unholy and
despotic dominion. _ The outrages_ upon
Kansas; the studied insults to Northern
Senators and Representatives ; . the dap&

zed, there can be neither unity among the
people, victory for our armies, nor hope
for the preservation of the Government,.
While the enemies of the war propoie
adhering to' the form - of a mare "arty
or g anisation, the loyal :men have yielded
their preferences and systems, content to
defer to, the days of peace the revival of
disputes which can only be repeated no#
Ito the injury of the common cause.
Let the people decide - whether that
linterest is deserving of confidence which,
'in the uiidst of war, refuses to abandon
the prejudices of party strife, and in the
midst of natonal peril devotes itself to the
,work of dividing the.people. i
The opponents of the war are More
anxious. to prove their hatred to a party
.than to the public enethy.,,, They insist ;
that the "demon Abolition" is the inost
danger - ous foe of the, pubitc peace. We
(can see but one great criminal—but one
i great enemy of the Republicand ha is
now in arms against out countryruen_aod

; ever is our first and most imperative duty.
The adVersaries of the war insist that
they contend for the Union as it wai,and
the Coukitution as it.is. We, ,too, are
f o r the Union, as it was; but not for the
return of the aimed - associates of the sym
pathizers with treason to the places they
so long occupied and so basely deserted.
And while we renew our fealty to the Con:,
siitution as it is, we . also' insist upon the
addition, of that duty which the opponent*
of the war so steadily ignore, viz :"Th
enfOreetuent of the laws," whether these
laws are for . the confiscation of all rebel
property, the emancipation of all slaves
who aid to defend the gag" of, the Union,
or the punishment of the reckless, pant;
sans in the.adhering, States' who aid' and
comfort the rebel enemy, denadralize the
People, and paralyze the 'arra of the Ei.
