ing extract We commend to the atten.
ton Of the public, - On explicit decls.
ration of the Democrats views on the
present situation Of affairs:
It would, perhaps, be thought prepos.
ferrous; but We, nevertheless, suggesl
it, that the Republicans disband and
support the Democratic candidates.
They have made the experiment Of q
purely sectionvl party, and they SEQ its
fruits. 1t threatens to cost them their
country. They can't have Union with
sectional domination. No matter how
wisely and jastly sectional party may
rule, ito domination is itself the vice that
. country will not endure.
This Republican party is organized and
built up on the antagonism Of sections,
and while it lives the animosity its exis-
tence engenders will not die. Its parti-
sans have plunged recklessly on, sneered
ct Union savers, and discredited those
who sounded the alarm Of dangers ahead.
They derided the cry OF wolf, forgetting
that in the fable the volt did come at
last. The first step to . restoration of
the Union is dispersion OF tho Rcpub-
icsn party, . disorganization Of the
sis Of ito existence.
We make NO apology for this wicked
effort in the South to destroy the Gov
eminent. We grant the necessity Of
suppressing il; but Abolitionis.n, that
has produced it, mast also be suppressed.
Abolitionism and Secessionlsm must be
buried in the same grave. The patriot
who loves his country must consent to
sacrifice them both.
There are truths in the above which
are undeniable-which no man 10 his
sober senses, who is not q fanatic at
heart, can deny with any success. The
Republican party does not posi-
material to defend sr' less tne
Union, and ande- III protect th's
ion u o. Is it, present organiza-
...y pushing matters into more
critical position. Regardless Of the
voice Of the country, Mr.. Lincoln per-
sists in keeping in bis Cabinet men who
are unfit tor the position. Instead OF
rising above party ties and casting OF
the sectional bonds With which he is en-.
thralled, and placing such men - Holt
or Dix It the head Of the war and navy
departments, he pers'sts in his sectional
course-psrsists 10 his ultra party idea
without regard to the welfare Of the No
ton.
We are aware that such step woule
be virtual disorganisstion Of the Re
publican party, but that is just what thu
country demaoda Republicans Of The
conservative school, without number
would rejoice At the proceeding, aut
none but fanatics and those who lbs
after the loavss and fishes which the pre-
sent condition Of affairs affords them
would grumble. We have heard man
