We ,sns sba above raraeraph going the round of
onr exchanges. and We copy it for two reasons !:
n First TO show that the entente celei1le exists be.
tween the conservative opponents OF Black Repub-
lca in the Northern States to some extent. at
4 least-and secondly, to show what can be gained
by union, and what may be lost by division
IN this local election we find the Democrats and
i the Union men combining together to effect an
object they both had at heart-namely, the defeat
| of the Black Republicans. By thus combining,
their purpose was accomplished Had it been
otherwise-had they drawn of their forces into
separate lines, and made separate nominations
4 they would both have been defeated and the Re-
| publicans would have run in between them. But
they sensibly enough preferred success to defeat.
Their antagonism to each other was not SO great
as their common antagonisln to the Black Repub-
licans. They preferred divided triumph to a
/ total defeat; and in this they showed themselves
to be sensible men and patriotic citizens
Now, Il 1t be worth while Tor conservatives to
combine IN 50 small matter as town election,

Of the odions black Republican sectional party Of |
the North
~ combining together-ey concentrating their
votes upon single ticket, North and South, Lin
coin Is defeated. By keeping up their childish
divisions and antagonisms. Lincoln runs in between
them all, and becomes President Of the United
States, though he is in large minority of all the
people of the Union.
It is difficult to find words strong enough to
characterize the folly of this conduct but it is |
the politicians who are to be blamed for it, not the
people.
We have advocated the union of all parties upou
the ticket of Bell and Everett, for the reason that
while they entirely and reliable men, there
is less antagonism to them on the part of each
wing Of the Democracy than exists between those
wings respectively towards each other. 1t is use
