Some Of the Republican editors don
reI'sh our suggestion that the RepubIl
can party should di.band, g into Iiqui
dstion and quit. We didn't expect
would be palatable. 1t would be unna
tnral if it we're. Still we give them til,
opinion OF their own oracle, Wu. II
Seward. He said, "psrties, men ane
platforms must be sacrificed 10 The
UI,on." The republican organization
is one that stands 10 the way; and al
though 1t must be great sacrifice o
party pride, perhaps more than can be
expected Immediately, it is q necessity,
IN our judgment. 1t Was q dangerous
experiment upon the peace aud integrl
" Of the country to form it. ThIe

threaten to hem up the southern
states, and surround them with a pop.

non OF more than halt the States in Do.
i'tical power, and control the action oil
common government, against the sen
tImenis, wishes, and interests of the
other section, is dangerous experiment.
All men are not philosophers, and viii
not laok cody at the temporary success
OF such an experiment.
We believe the Black Republican
party a harmless Concern. if the South
ern people would take it at its real i'm
portancs but they Judge it by its pro.
LESSONS, by Its objects, as stated by ITS
accredited organs. They Judge 1t by the
hopes and purposes that party puts for
ward, and they are offensive and insult
Jog. La quie, times they awaken re-
sentiment and hostility now they add
uei to the flame already kiudled. The
Administration may protest honesll,
nat The rights OF the Southern States
shall be respected; that they may be
innocent Of any intention TO oppose this
section OF tie Union br. what they
'r" :, is offset by vlole,, anti-save1y
men. who stand vel. with the Admins
,rstlon, Notwithstanding their violence.
Beside, ii is no matter how well they IN
tend to act, it is not sutierabIe that one
section OF the Union should Judge at Its
discretion what is well for the other, OF
Tor both. No tree people will submit to
thls long. AS we SAID, we hold this par
~ powerless to do hahn. 1t gained
presidential election by one OF the v.cis-
STUDIES OF parties, and would have got
the spoils for one term, and died of Its
Inherent vices, ii the Cotton States had
done their duty. THIS success, however.
was dangerous. We have warned Il
country a thousand times of the danger,
but It was even worse than we expected.
1t is not a reply to say 1t was no sutii-
Gent cause tor rebellion. We know
that; every statesman, not lnflsme 10y
misapprchensions, knows it was no cause
tor rebellion but IT is a fact that the
success OF a sectional party has been
made the occasion OF a rebellion and
tae teelling and conviction as TO the ne
cessity OF resistance in the South is SO
eepened in intensity that some direct
action is needed.
The disbanding OF the Republican party
is the most important step 10 this end. 1t
ought never to have existed. Ali patr-
Utc men must be convinced Of this. 1t
was IN its inception disregard or the
>ole.nu advice of the Father cf his
ountry,' and every statesman this
county has produced, has, in some
-hape, repeated the advce and warning.
II Republicans really love the Union as
our fathers made it, let them "a rifice
their party organization to lis preserva-
lion. II IS necessary. II they do not
mean what the extreme South charge,
tnere Is nothing important enough 10
preserve an organization TOT, in view oil

doned to the peace and integrity of the
Union.
From this the North surely has moth
ing to fear. 1t is the majority section,
and can always protect itself. fit can
govern IKE country according to its no
ions, regardless OF the wishes and In.
terests OF tie other section of the Union
we can OIL y say, the Union should no,
be 50 governed, and canno, be SO GOV
crned. a patriotic man should no,
hesitate to abandon a wrong and an I'm
possibility. We do most solemnly as
sure them that these sectional partie,
must be abandoned. Let them follow
the example Of kentucky. We hav.
thrown all parties overheard here, ane
"ill aid any that will settle up this mat
ter on terms that honorable men in hotl
sections can accept with honor. Come
up, republicans, to the advice OF YOU
leader IN tmee past-sacritice parties

We overlook all that this adminietra
ton has done from necessity. We in
dnlge IN no cavis, and support whatever
1t Goes rightly, and don't even Try t.
weaken It when we believe ITS acts ipex
pedicnt to the end in view, that it ma,
