Already has the press Of Ohio begun TO
discuss the policy Of obliterating party
lines at the coming State election. 1t is
urge. by some of our Republican con-
temporaries, that, as all party issues are
disregarded in the prosecution of the ex,
listing war, there should be no party nom
nations. A union Of all parties, for the
sake of the Union of the States, would,
they contend, have most salutary innu.
ence upon the South, while i. could not
fail TO strengthen the Administration in
its efforts to repress treason and rebellion.
We sincerely hope there will be no
union Of parties in this State. unless it
can be effected upon such basis as the
people, after the fullest discussion of ils
merits, will approve. In the present
state Of the public mind, it may be i'm
possible TO retain party distinctions; surely,
it is not a proper time for partisan contro-
versy. But is there no danger that, in a
hasty merging of all parties into one, with
no common bond but love Of the Uaion,
essential principles may be sacrificed ?
Upon this point, Republicans cannot be
too Jealous or walchfal Looking back
upon the past, we recognize the cause Of
this rebellion in the aggressive and
hitherto predominating spirit OF the Slave
Power; we know that, but for that
power, it would never have occurred
and we have denounced and ridiculed
those professional Union. Savers who, ig-
norant or unmindful of the only cause Of
danger, have vainly sought TO preserve
the Union by concessions OF principle
Our position, our consistency,-nay, our
loyalty ilself, demands that we maintai in
higher Union ground than this.
The people of Ohio and every other
Northern State are more fortunately stu.
ated than the Unionsts OF the Border
Slave States. They are not compelled to
obliterate party lines in order to elect
Union candidates 10 Office, for no other

"But see Jeff. Davis has among his aids

Righteousness Of the War in America.

If President Lincoln prevents the
execution of the Southern programme,
preserving tho abundant constitutional
rights of the Southern States, us members
of tho Urion, wo shall say that he has de-
Tended the cause of liberty, aud not u whit
less because the dominant party in the
South has it's own projects for roaring an
empire of tyranny and oppression. Ii it
becomes necessary for that purpose to
draw tho sword wo shalt say that until the
millenial day Gomez whom the sword shall
DO beaten into tho p,oughsharo, aud tho
spear into tho pruning hook war can be
waged for no higher o.jrct than to main
tain tho Constitution o! tho United States
over the longth and breadth of tho Union.
From the first Mr.. Lincoln has uniformly
declared that be will do this. Every now
declaration he las made has illustrated his
consistency and steadfastness. IL seems to
DO maintained in some quarters that bo-
cause tho Government OF tho United States
is so froo, It's head ought not to dOfcnd it.
Wo do not see why u good government
should have denied 10 il rights Of sell do.
fonse which arc conceded. as q matter OF
course, to bnd one. Tho general common
government of the United States was created
for this purposc--to maintain and defend
tho Union. Tho notion that minority OF
"A nation is to ho allowed to snrdo whom il
cannot have its way. although its rights
have been respected, is destructive of every
priE ciplo of government. and has novol
been recognized by any statesman.
The States that now pretend to right tC
90 out of tho Union, have soveraIly rolin
| quishod their claim to Independent exist
once, in order to share the sovereignty O
thoir own territories aud of those of the
Union with tho other States competed in
one collective body under tho general gov.
ornmcnt. They cannot resume their full
sovereignty as of right. If any OF thom
could do it. it would bo, not States which
like Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri
occupy territory acquired bv tho diplomacy
of tho Union, wirnout references to tho
wishes of the inhabitants. but Statos ike
Virginia, for instance which holped to form
tho Union. Yet Virginia, in tho articles by
which she ratified tho Union, used language
which implicitly discloimed tho right OF So
ccssion. Her words are, that "tho powers
granted under tho Constitution are derived
from the people Of tho United States" IL
is this sovereign body, tho people of the
United States, and not tho Governors or
Legislatures of tho separate Statos. who
have to decide on tho question of union or
disunon. And with them also rests the
question Of peace or war. If tho vast ma,
