EICANS.
From TIE hour when ARIsTIDEs, " the iust,n
was ostrseised from Romo for his superior viz
tues and eminent services, to the present time,
The maxim has correctly prevailed, that repub-
lies are ungrsteful. It has been reserved for
The dominant party Of the North, who have
usurPed the name Of Republicans, to demon
strate that the vice attributed Of OLD to this
peculiar form Of government, Pervsdss the
breasts Of those who are Republicans only in
name. The abolition saehems OF the Chicago
wigwan, announced as a part Of their plat
form, that the Union was indissOluble, and
should be preserveaIst all hazards. They ars
stfl consistent ia this doctrine. The " Union -
men Of the border slave States have struggled
earnestly, bitterly, and 10 their " dstrimsnt,
fo- this political tenet Of Chicago politicians.
They have pardoned the aggressions, forgiven
the injustice, and pOeketed the insults Of the
North, in their blind adhesion to this, their sole
principle and guiding star and at this good
hour, when the Union is completely, irrevoca-
by and etsrnslly dissolved, they close their
eyes to TIE historical fact, and still labor.
might and main, for the preservation Of the
Elorious Union. We speak now Of the disin-
fsnssied leaders, who struggle to erect a parti-
san organization. The sensible and patriotic
portion Of the late Union force, who sc-
knowledge facts as they are, are now prspar-
ing for that which has become q necessity
the union Of the South for the sake Of the
Sestb. But the k-Rspublicans, who
fsttered themselves that the Union party
Of these States would array themselves
speedily alongside Of the demigods.
AsDREw J5HEsos, E~rHERTDeE and BEowE-
low, and thus stand squarsly on the
Chicago platform, have become impa-
tisnt at their delay and apparent reluctance to
affiliate completely with the northern supper
tiers OF LrNoOLS's Administration. Not only
do they manifest impotence, but are beeom-
ing somewhat abusive Of those whom they
had counted on as allies. The right wing Of
the army murmurs at the want OF slacritv in
the left. They demand that those who are
under the command Of Brigsdier General
JoHEsoS and bis staff, shall keep step to the
music Of the Union.s They will not allow
them - halt, biBoHae, or pitch their tents, and
recruit BY a brief rest in camp. MARCH,

allies, and the words fall upon their ears, like

that Republication is safely housed In the
