South to man will oppose 1t. Here are doubt
less elements for a substantial resistance. But
what are tie chances Of their coalition? There
is no talk as yet OF y union between the Union
wings and the Union democrats 4 the North.
Some few Southern ournals have specullted in
vague geH raj way on the necessity Of throw
ing over card present party distinctions, and
organizing grand Union party on their ruins.
But nothing practical has been done to attain
this end The foes Of the Union are the first in
the field. They are active, energetic and de-
termined; in spite Of bstacles, they will as
suredly make formidable show when the time
comes With this prospect, does it hefit Union
men to content themselves with the part OF
simple spectators of their proceedings? We
think not. The sooner actual steps are taken to
defeat the schemes of these reasonable agita-
tors and to guard the Uoion against the perils
they threaten, the better for us all. The South
should take the lead.
