The Fusion Trap.

Mn. EDroR 1T is said that "fu-
sion" ticket has been put forth in
this county by the joint action Of .
few Democrats and Republicans.
Please allow me through your paper
to address few words to Republic
cans, especially those who were en-
gagged in connecting this new third
party scheme. Are you as Republic
cans dissatisfied with your party
with the men you as Republicans
helped to place in powerl If not,
then why seek to break mp your party
organization. Is not the Administra-
ton obeying your behests. doing pre-
ciscly a. You would have them do {?
If yea, what moral right have you to
withdraw your support as a party,
and surround the President with I'M
certain advisers and ill the council
chambers of the nation with q milk
and water" Union party,-perhaps
for Union by compromise with trail
tors,-who may or may not cordially
support the Government in this its
hour Of peril! The President, while
gladly receiving aid, comfort, and
strength from all parties, has an
especial right to look for it from you
who have given him the high place Of
power he now occupies. Disband your
party and surround him by so-callcd
Union party, and your moral support
to the Government is withdrawn, and
the consequences are not easily fore
told. ~
Republicans stand firm. Nail your
colors to the masthead, and stand by
them, If need be, though the Heavens
fall!
Some over patriotic ~ may say,
"there's no patriotism in that I; Pm
for my country-party or no party"
Let me say to You that Patriotism and
Party 60 hand in hand. So was it in
the days of the Revolution, thus it will
ever be. Patriotism is defined to be
a love of ones country" the pas

try either in defending it from inva-
sion, or protecting it's rights, and
maintaining its laws aud institutions
in vigor and purity.
Republicans is your patriotism
impugned, point to the record. and
laugh to scorn those who would assail
it. Who dare assail it We of the
great majority can boast an unstained
page on our national record, which
cannot be said Of minority which
sends to the national Congress VAL

ridge, and others Of lesser note. Look
at the action of our own State Legis-
lature last Spring. Upon organizing,
a portion of the Offices was courteous
ly given to opposition members, and
in return some twenty-five Of them
voted against loan bill for the war,
thus empbaticaIly displaying their
Patriotism to an astonished world by
tying the hands of the Governor.
Yet, with such men as these are We
invited to affiliate in organizing q
Union party. Will you do it! No.
Republicans the Union party is a
cheat, a delusion, o snare. Perhaps
not so designed in the present in
stance, but such it will assuredly
prove if we permit ourselves to be-
come entanglcd in its meshes. We
are, and ought to be satisfied with
our party. If others are not satisfied
with theirs, let them leave, and if they
seek Patriotic Party, We will receive
them with'open arms. w.

Of iti Why are hitherto good Repub.
licans associated with it, is still
more pertinent inquiry, and more
difficult Of solution. The Republican
Party put forth its best efforts last
Fall to inauguratc new and better
administration of National affairs, and
having succeeded, / know of no ex-
ception in their hearty cooperation for
the Union and the Government. That
party is Union to man, and sound to
the core and this mixing up in this
new organization under some specious
prctcnsc, strikes me as being of doubt
full policy, to say the least. 1t is said
that Democrats are also Union men.
| admit that the rank and file of the
Democracy, for good and honest pur-
poses, are, to q large extent, Union
men and admire their honesty and
zeal in the good work of sustaining
our Government in this, its greatest
trial. But can that purpose be better
accomplished by improvising q new
party! Twill not impugn the motives
Of any man, but this move bodies no

BY sinister designs. On the part of
Republicans it seems to imply some
disaffection, the existence of which 10

Democrats, the objection doubtless is,
to break our ranks; and having an

They say, away with party-wipe
out party lines, and so on. That is
well, when the adherence to party in
terferes in any manner with the Ma
tional interest, or when it hinders in
any sense . hearty support of the
Government. But l can see no good
reasons for discarding party in our
State and county nominations. Tn the

this place, there was not only an
aroseed purpose to stand by the Union,
prosecute the war, and sustain the
Government, but to sustain thar party

straight forward. contrasting nobly
with the secret designs of this self
