The Abolition leaders, who, for a long series Vf years, hare been making war upon and nuU lifriiig the Constitution, and who, bj way of way of derision, called the Democrats ' Union Savers," have now the unblushing effrontery to assert that the Democracy are " disloyal," and that they the Abolitionists -are the only loyal" and "patriotic" men in the country ! Any person who knows the history of Abolition, knows that its present assumption of be-ing in favor of the restoration of the Union as it was, " unconditionally," is the veriest sham and humbug that can well be imagined. The Abolition leaders, who control the party, Juite the " Union as it was," and Jf . they believed that the present war would have the effect of restoring the Union, with Slavery in it, .these leaders would be found bitterly opposed to it. To show to our readers the real sentiments of the Abolitionists, we make the following extract from a speech delivered in the late Con-: gress, by lion. Tbaddzus Stevens, the Abolition leader in the House : "I will not stultify myglf bj sapposin that we hare .any warrant in the Constitutiou for thi procee- ding. "This talk of restoring the' Union as it was, and 'under the Constitution as it is, is one of the absurdities which I have heard repeated until I have become -about sick of it- . Tke Union cum Hrvrr be restored a Vf teat. There are many things which render such an vent IMPOSSIBLE. This Usiox xkvkr shall, with Mr co8T, be RESTORED, vvotm the CossTiTirTiojr -As is is, with Slavery to be protected The " Union LeaguesV that spring up like mushrooms in a night, are the last desperate trick of a desperate and dishonest party, intended to organize the A tol it ion party all over the Nortli, for the next Presidential election. The office holders, army contractors, epecula-4ore and thieves, who who have their hands in the public treasury up to the arm-pits, do not wish to unloose their grasp, so long as a single ""green -back" remains. Mr. Dawes, a Republican member of Congress who was on a Com mittee appointed to investigate the stealings of the Abolition thieves. ,made a Report from wiich we5 take the following extract : '"In the first year of a Repnbliean Administration whkh rame into power upon profusions of reform and retrenchment, there is indubitable evidence a-broad ia the-iaad, that somebody hus plundered the ; public treasury well nigh in a single year, as much the. eurrent -yearly expenses -tf the Otvernnicnt 'during the Administration which the people bHrle-1 from power because of its cerruptiou." Zaice lte-jMtrUIf the Democratic party is restored to pow-er, as it unquestionably will be, not-only will these Abolition stealings be stopped, but the dishonest sewnps who are "leagued' together 'to plunder the treasury and rob people, will be punished as their crimes deserve. Tlie Abolitionists are the "Aiders and . Abettors" of the Rebellion. In proof of this assertion, we produce the testimony of Hon. Montgojierv Blair,- Lincoln's "Postmaster General. In Marh 1862, a meeting was held in the City of New York, by the radical wing of the Kepublicaii party, for the purpose of organizing an Abol ition policy for the Administration and bringing such a pressure to tear pon the President as to corn pel its adoption. Mr. Blair was invited to attend, and from Jb is letter of declination, dated March 2d 1862, we extract as follows: " I do not concur in the -proposition that . certain States have been recently overturned and wholly subverted, as members of the Fd-ral Union, upon which the call is; based. This is, in substance, what the Coiifeilenites themselves claim : and the fact that serereion is maintained by the authors of this call for a different purpose, does not make it more mn-ftitutionsl. or prevent them from Wins ACT-U AT AIDERS AND ABETTOliSOF THE CONFEDERATES. - VI do n think our difficulties will be lessened by Emancipation br Congress even it iBuch an act was CONSTITUTIONAL. It would certainly add to the exasperation of lle non-elavebolding whites South, and might unite them against tMiovwtiment. and. if so, THEY WOULD! BE ..UNCONQUERABLE. '.

Feb. 20. 18C3. , "In the Fall of 1800 we carried Kentucky , triumphantly : over Breckinridge, Humphrey Marshall, Buckner & Co. We thn warned all loval Union men at the North to keep down Abolition deviltrr, and the Uni on men of the slave States could take care of Southern Secession traitors, for we had a: ma jority in every one of these States except South Carolina. Our' voice was not . beeued -and what now is our condition? Divisious at the North, and Union at the South. 'The whole- country mourning over the brave soldiers whose blood has been poured out on the battle-field or in the hospitals. Every State literally filled with widows and orphans. u. : . " My own native Kentuckv, with nearly fifty regiments in the .'field 'under our glorious old flag, has been overrun, and the tread of , the maruder is still on. our own soil. "When we shall have peace God only knows; but one thing is certain, we shall nev er succeed by any other means than by re-ea- tablisuing ttie authority of The -Constitution throughout the land with all its checks and guarantees. Old party political issues 'must be forgotten and all true and loyal men must act together with unselfish patriotism, and then we can hope to preserve the great, inher itance won by our lathers, and hand it down to our children. " We have adopted the name of ' Union Democracy.' and thuw secured the hearty cooperation of the great mass of the old line Clay Whigs, with conservative Democrats. "It is well known that our overwhelming vote in 1861 saved Kentucky from domestic traitors, who used all their power to carry her into rebellion, and the election of Governor Seymour in your State will save the Union. Very truly yours. "Frankfort. Feb. 27. 1803. "There it considerable apprehension that the present in vasion of Kentucky is not a mere raid of robbers and borne thieves, but for permanent 'occupation of the' Government if possible. "But for the Abolition programme of ilr. Lincoln, Kentucky would rise up as one man and crueli the iuvader; but our troops are far distant and strangers are in their places, but in whose sympathy the masses have uo confidence. Franktort, Feb. 27, 18C3. M Dear Sir Thank God the last Congress is dead. History will, I hope, do them justice. Such madness, infatuation, one ideaism never before prevaded a set of partisan politicians since the expulsion of Janres II from the throne of England, and which has compelled his posterity to die in poverty and exile, .. . ' . "Yours, Ac, L. COOMBS." Republican Leaders Intriguing for a Aonarcnj. There is too much -reason to beleive that many of the Rofxiblican leaders desire the es-tablishinent of a. Monarchy in this country, and are laboring for that end. Read the utteian-ces of two of the leading Philadelphia Aboli tion papers. Forxet says in the Philadelphia Press: " "Another principle must certainly be embodied in our reorganized form ofGovernment. The men who shape the legislation of this country .when the waVls past niut reineinber that what -we want is pbwer and - strength. Tke problem, will be to combine theorms of republican government with tu powers of a monarchical government. : In the same strain the North American remarks:"This war has already shown the alsvrd'Uy or a government with limited powers; it has shown t'utt the poorer of every government ought to be and must be unlimited." The whole of the legislation of the lastXon-gress the attacks upon freedom of speech and of the press, the disregard of the Constitution by the party in power but too surely indicates the drift ot the current. The Union Leaguers described by the Kew York Herald. The Herald, in its usual quaint but forcible manner, giyes the following truthful and graph ic description of the objects and purposes of the "Union Leagues:" The niggerhead spoilsmen see in all the signs ofthe times the .approaching doom of their party, and they are resorting to all sorts of ingenious devices to turn it aside. . They are encouraging the most violent and unconstitutional measures to arrest the onward march of public opinion. They might as well try to stop the Mississippi with a pitchfork. Their futile efforts to dam the current will only serve to increase its impetuosity. Conscious of their gilt, and afraid to meet the people iu their . true colors. . they change their name and try. to raise a deceptive issue for the Presidential election of 1804. They are inaugurating so-called ".Union Leagues." for the purpose of .taking the wind out ol the sails of the great Conservative party of the country. But they mav save themselves the trouble. Their fate is fixed, and no expedient can save their bark from going down before the breath ofthe storm which is nw rising, and will soon sweep land and sea with resistless force, from jbe Potomac to. theST.TLawreoce, and from the Empire City tO'tpe Golden- Gate." r I mm m -"f-: 'Stand' byhe tleTnment.,' M f Certainlr.'V Democrats always stand by the Govemmeto tby .the; men wbo formed It and by the Constitution which defines and regulates 1U ; m6vehent8-.

'. - i ' ' I propose to speak to yon, to-night, upon a subject w-hich seerns'to me tobe Strangely riii-' apprehended by many good men, and strange ly perverted by many- who are notfgood. I mean the subject Of Loyafty." The word it self, at least in the sense in which it is- used in those countries from which we have lately borrowed it, van scarcely be saiI to have ap propriate place in our political and social sys tem. J5ut it is a word at present in great use among us, and we must take it as we find it. and are bound to inquire what are the moral duties which its just and true signification embraces. This inquiry, and the certain consequences of accepting and followingout the doctrines which are now forced upon us, will form the topics of my discourse. the true conditions of American -loyaJtv are not to be found in the passionate exactions of partisan leaders, or in the frantic declama tions ol Use pulpit, the rostrum, or the press. (Cheers.Y . People who do not like my politi cal opinions -may hurl at me the epithet "dis loyal," but when they have thrown this missile they have not taken a single step toward defining, to me or others, what the true conditions of loyalty are. It is important that this step should be taken; for whether we . are to go on or to cease iu this cour&e of idle and unmeaning abuse, it concerns us all to know what measure of public duty may rightfully be exacted of us. To know the height and depth of those great virtues which are comprehended in the term patriotism," to feel at once that they are seated in our affections and enthroned in our reason, is to "get wisdom and get understanding," iu the largest of earthly concerns. (Applause.) The true conditions of American lovalty are to be found in the law of the land: in the institutions under which we live; in the duties flowing from theConBtitution of-our country ; (applauFe;) in the political system which we have inherited from our fathers, with all its manifold relations, through which we may trace the dear dividing line that separates per fect trotn imperfect obligations. (Cheers.) The textof our fundamental law is the guide, and the sole guide, in all ethical inquires into the duties of the citizen. To that source ail must come, rulers and people alike; to that fountain . all must resort. The vague and shitting standards that arei drawn from supposed dangers to what is called the "national life," or which spring from the conflicting judgments of men respecting public necessities can : determine nothing. These things can furnish, no rule. We must have a rule, for loyalty is a moral duty, and it must, therefore, le capable of definition. A people whose "national life" exists only by virtue of a writ ten constitution, and wno can nave no necessities tliat lie out of or beyond that written ne cessity, can rind no rule of lovalty in any of the necessities which their constitution of government does not "caver. They may find grounds of expediency, tn one or another supposed necessity for destroying their constitution ; but it would be extremely absurd to say that this expediency could be made the object of their "loyally." Let us go, then, to the fonntain head the Bource of all our national obligations. The Constitution of the United States itself prescribes the full measure of our loyalty iu these words: . , - "This Constitution and the laws of the Uni ted States which shall b made in i pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States. . shall be TBI simm uv of the land." Observe how precise as well as comprehensive this great rule of our duty is. -It expresses without ambiguity the whole of our obligation toward the Federal . Government. . Il makes a supreme law ; a law paramount to all Other human laws an obligation transcending all other political obligations. It leaves no room whatever for the instrusion of another or a rival claimant to our civil obedi ence. The claiment can neither be &.. person invested or reinvested with office, nor an idea of public necessity, nor an imaginary national life beyond or apart from the life created under j the Constitution. - Tire-only possible claimant ofbiir obedience is' the'L'iw-; or as -that law is made supreme, all other detnao4or demandants upon our submission are of necessity ex cluded. .(Loud cheers. V ...... ... . .. - What then does this supreme law embrace ? The text on which I am commenting itself furnishes the answer. "This Constitution,' it says what this Constitrtion contains, and the laws shall be made, in conformity with it- these shall be the supreme law; rising in authority above all other laws, . . No public ; ne-cessities, save; as they, are embodied in the Constitution; no ."national life,", save as it exr ista under tlvp Constitution; no legislation that is not in accordance; with the Constitution is ths Supreme, law; Lut what .the..
