For the Ohio Statesman
Tho Proposed Union of Parties.

Ii seems that the Republican managers o.
this State, have hit upon plan for carryinl
the State At the fall election; that is, by pre-
tending to set psrtiea aside, and coming ou
with Union ticket. l see that they are al
ready limiting that they will give q few cas-
Democrats some of the secondary offices, il the,
will come over and help them carry the Stat
this fall; but should pity the Democrat tha
would lend his name or influence for such
purpose. Aa, -tt
They now claim that, to be patriotic, we mus
ignore party during the present conflict If tha
10 30, then Lincoln and Dennison are the mos
unpatrlotic men in the land; for nothing bu
party has governed them In their appointments
and removals from Office ever since the war be
gan. The Administration have been remoyips
every Democratic officer that they could And h
the country for the purpose OF rewarding some
party favorite; and, Us late instance, they re.
moved Mrs. Camden, the widow of a Demo.
cratic postmaster, at Portsmouth, to reward a
man who had not been in the county more than
one year. -4f 7A4al tt p w ~
But the fact is, that they now see the people
Of me State OF Ohio are becoming satisfied
that the principles Of the Chicago platform will
not 90 70 govern this country, aud are about to
put the seal Of condemnation upon them; then
they very suddenly discover that there ought
not be any political parties during this con.
test; that Is, they mean that there ought not be
any Democratic party. But if they should get
the power, how soon they would begin to carry
out their party ideas, by dividing the State up
into Congressional districts, 80 that the Demo.
Gratis should be able to elect only three or four
OF the members Of Congress, and they the bal.

They could pass laws nullifying the fugitive
slave law, and a law allowing negroes to vote
and also law defining treason aqainst the United
States, and q sedition law, and many other nice
little things they might do, II they only had
the chance. But, cir, can they be sincere in
their proposals to unite with those whom they
have been charging with rank treason, and with
being the enemies Of our country The very
proposition carries the lie upon lie face, or else
they show an easy conscience, and that they
themselves are willing to become traitors for
the sake of the offices. They may take either
horn Of the dilemma.
They have held the State now for six years
and If they are particularly desirous to be pa.
triotic, they can well afford to step aside now.
and let the Union Democracy try the manage.
ment Of the State for the next two years. win
