But this good understanding may be rup-
tured by perversity or greed in tho formation
of local tickets. We do not deem the defeat
of the Union State ticket possible, but the
moral effect of its election by Two Hundred
Thousand Majority may be lost through an I'M
timely Difference to petty and selfish aspira-
tons.
If the Republicans of any County in which
their power is overwhelming shall see fit to
hold an exclusive party convention and nom-
nate q straight party ticket, the necessary Of
feet will be to repel Democrats from the sup
port not merely of this but of the Union State
ticket. They will naturally say, aft Union
means simply that we shall vote Republican
party tickets, we cannot sec the beauty Of
cit" And no wonder.
Nor do we think the matter much mended
by clear-grit Republican convention putting
one or two Democrats on the foot OF their
ticket 1t is not enough that some Union
Democrats should be voted for they should
have fair and equal voice in making up the
tickets they are exhorted and expected to sup
port.
WHAT" it is asked, "wOuld you ignore
" Republican principles altogether! DO you
"propose to disband the party ."
To which we answer
If the exigencies which called the Republi-
can party into being shall return-if the ques-
tons Oh which it divided the country shall again
become vital and imminent-we shall insist on its
reorganization. But they do not seem to us to
have much if any relation to the existing state
Of things. The GaimuS Of the Republican party
was resistance to the Extension of Slavery
under the National flag; and who can say that
such Extension will 0gain be seriously at
tempted Who can say even that there will
be any American Slavery to extend when this
Rebellion shall have been sub6ued To say
nothing here Of the probability that the Nation
may be compelled to recognize and deal with
Slavery as its deadly foe, who will warrant
that the Rebel leaders may not themselves
abolish it, in the desperate hope of thereby
strengthening their position and increasing their
forrest Suppose they should thus-or other
wise-triumph, and compel recognition of their
independence, what would be the pertnence Of
the Republican principle to any remaining is
sue Should we eyermore think Of buying or
stealing territory on which to establish Slavery
Or of planting it on such territory as we al-
ready possess Who dees not see that the
progress and event Of this tremendous War
must almost necessarily efIace all 6rmer party
lines by blotting out the issues on which they
were founded
The urgent imperative need Of To-Day is
an overwhelming popular verdict in favor of
the Union, the Constitution, and tie Enforce
mant Of the Laws. To this necessity, party
organizations and personal aspirations should
be subordinated. To this end, our State
Ticket has been shaped, and our County
Tickets ought to be. Patriots in all the Coun-
ties! il this matter was not original, placed on
the right footing in your locality, will you not
hasten to make il right! Aud il your nom
nations are not yet made, will you not take
care, not merely that the Union tickets shall
present the names of Union Democrats in fair
proportion, but that such Democrats are fairly
invited and enabled TO exert a just aud equal
voice in making them
