Concert of Action.

Concert of Action.
= 1t is highly important that the friends Of the
Union in this State should unite and act in concert.
rhe disunionists are organizing, and will leave no
means untred to take the State ont of the Union
The State is opposed to disunion at this time by
thirty to forty thousand majority, yet in order to
render this majority effective concert Of action is
Indispensable
>Our opponents are forming what they call a neso
party. We are glad that they are thus showing
their hands. Let meet them half way in this re-
spect Let us endorse their declaration that they
do constitute new party-the disunion party; and
the people
But whatever organization may be set on foot by
the Union men, let those engaged in it constantly
bear in mind that this government belongs to the
people, and that all organizations are Objectionable
unless they reflect the peoples will. Let there be
no ciques, no caucuses, no packed conventions. It
is just easy to hold mass meetings conventions.
Let no Union man be excluded from hearing in
these public assemblages. If delegates shall in any
case be appointed let it be understood that all 9th
who may choose to attend shall be entitled to
hearing and shall be considered delegates also; but
repeat believe the best plan in every instance
will be to hold mass meetings. The voting in these
meetings car be by ballot, each County having its
voice according to federal population, majority of
those present determining what that voice shall be.
We throw out these suggestions with all respect
for the views of Others and from sincere desire to
advance the cause By concert of action and proper
effort we can hold the disunionsts just where they
are, in hopeless minority; and we carry near
ly all the members of Congress at the approaching
election.
We would respectfully suggest to our Union
friends in this District the proprety Of mass meet
ing in this City some time in April or May to NOM
mate candidate for Congress. The Union men
can carry this District by large majority. Let
them to it that the District is fairly and properly
represented. We are tired Of this "holding with
the hare and running with the hounds" In crs-
sis like this the position of every public man should
be unmistaka6ly kno,cn. He that is not for us is
against us. 1t will not do for public man to say
he is for the Union while he makes effort to pre-
vent dsunion, but the contrary afliates with the
disunionists. The people want works, not words.
The people Of this District entitled to be repre-
scented in Congress by decided Union man, and VIC
trust they will take the necessary steps to select
such man. We will cheerfuly support any one
| who may be agreed upon by the Union men of the
