Abolitionists according to contract.
DEV —Well; what do you intend to do
with relation to the Constitution and the Un

LIN. —As for the Constitution, I shall dis
regard that altogether, and the Union I wii
destroy b)' Proclamation.
DEV.- Well go on, disregard the Constitu

7/t/s is an Abolition war —a war to free
the slaves of the South, regardless of law or
the rights of the Union men there, and re
; aidless of the rights or interests of white
men anywhere. The men who, thirty years/

Abolition leaders—l lie ve'y uien who voted

the Union as it was. L p >: the appearance

■ have a Comcriptioti act, j Ist passed by
Congu ss giving the President til il (Htwer uvi r
ihe people, and utterly ignoring their Stale
goverii i cuts. "s
Two years ago, when the people believed
• hat tie Administration meant to make war
hr the le-ioiaiion of the Union as it wa*,
they enlisted by hundreds ot thousands, no
id, inde. d, Mr. \\ tl.*on, the Chairman of itie

M lit is this so? Simply hecau-e the peo

agmm>t 'lie interests oi the* white man
against the Constitution, the li ghts of the
Sates, au.l the ie*t<>rat;<>n of the Uiii -n as
onr fathers made it ! They It iv learned by
i-.\peri nee that the Union professions of this
Abolition Administration are hypocritical
and false. '1 he people have list confidence
in ilte honor and hot-.es'y, as well as in the
ability, of the Federal A (ministration. It
ha< proven false to the people —f.dse to the
Constitution and laws, and false to its own
path. 11 has violated everything that hon
orable men and patriots should hold sacred.
I has sought to foment servile insurrection
and to pro notn rapine, arson and murder;
it has tramp'ed upon the right* of t!*.e peo
ple in the N >rth. where no wtr Ins cX'stcd ;
it has caressed and promoted men guilty „f
infamous crimes ngainst mankind ; it has
kept men in oflre. browing them to ho phtn*
(brers of the public; it has violated all its
pledges to the people and overstepped its le
gitimate powers, usurping others unknown
to this Government ; ami this it has <1 .ne,
not to restore the Union, n >r to hem-lit white
people, hut to sustain an Abolition icur.
We repeat, ami we hope the fact will he
proclaimed throughout the land, m every vil
lage and hamlet, hum every mountain top—
in ev -ry Valley, Irom every rostrum an I eve

This is not a war f r the Union nut a war

lives of plunder and mahce, who will continue
