The Albany Argus chronicles the
removal Of twenty-eight postmasters in
Oneida county in one week, and re-
marks:
We care nothing for the changes
politically. Probably the removal Of
every Democrat in office would strength
en- the party. We only point to these
things to show what is meant by the
Republicans when they cry mo more
party. Let US have one party
We have never echoed that cry.
There never was greater use for party
than now. 1t is in moments of civil
commotion like these, that the vigilance
of party is needed to protect the liberties
of the people. We are involved in war.
We must conduct it to honorable Issue.
In that task the Democratic party will
be behind no other. 1t is capable OF all
the efforts and all the sacrifices the
crisis demands.
We believe it was never stronger IN
this State than at this day. The eyes
Of all the people are turning to 1t as THE
ONLY PARTY THAT CAN CARRY ON sue
CEssFUL WAR, OR COMMAND AN HONOR
ABLE AND ENDURING PEACE.
No party is the cry of Republicans
Just now, while constant prescription
of Democrats is being prosecuted al
over the country. Let not Democrats
be deceived by these No Party cries
If the Democratic party should become
disorgapized, the Union will be dissolved
inevitably. 1t can be saved only on thu
principles Of Democracy, and by thu
efforts of the Democratic party in wa
| or in peace.-Dubuque Herald.

Senator Wilkinson and the Union
Party.

A late number of the Mankato Record
contained the following paragraph:
The Central Republican states upon the au.
thority of Senator Cook, of Rice county, that
U. S. Senator Wilkinson will support the I'M
ion ticket; and we have since heard it intima.
ted that he would soon make a speech at st.
Paul in support of that ticket.
Senator Wilkinsons attention having
been first called to this announcement yes
terday, be promptly handed US the follows
ing for publication
To THE EDITORS OF THE Press Il think the
Editor of the Republican must have misunder.
stood Senator Cook, because | am quite GER
tain that | have not said to any one that
should support the Union ticket in this State
did say to Mr.. Cook, that l would. in the
present posture of affairs, be glad TO see all the
Union men of our State united this fall in the
support of a ticket so formed as to unite the
entire loyal sentiment of the State. But did
not state that thought the so called Union
ticket would accomplish this result. Indeed,
did not think it would. I am free to admit that
l deprecate party warfare at this time, with
all the personal bitterness and acrimony which
such contests are very apt to engender, or so
long as we are engaged in this terrible war,
which rebellion and treason have brought up.
on the country.
fear the national struggle in which we are
engaged is much more pOnderous in its dimen-
siOns than most of our people suppose. As
look upon this rebellion, it will require all the
strength, and courage, and virtue, there is in
the loyal States, to put it down. feel certain
that if the government is sustained in this
crisis, it will be at great sacrifice of treasure
and blood, because we are engaged with an
enemy more merciless, more ruthless, than are
the savages upon our frontier.
This rebellion must be put down, no matter
what the cost; but that we may the more
effectually crush it out, we should be united.
1t was for this reason wished the Union men
of our State might act in concert.
But l am free to admit that have never
looked upon this Union movement in our State
as being likely to bring about this result.
Indeed, fear that if that ticket had been kept
in the field, it would have tended to ALLEVIATE
the feelings of our people rather than to have
united them. M. 5. WILKINSON.

Our Trade with France:

The official returns of the trade of France
with the United States, for the first six
months of 1861, show woeful falling off,
and readily explain the anxiety of the
French commercial classes to witness a
speedy termination of war ruinous to
many branches OF European manufactures.

as in 1859; millinery, IL, 52l francs in
1861, and 547,362 francs in 1859. The
diminution in the exports of silk goods,
almost entirely attributable to the state of
affairs in America, already amounts to a
value of 1600O0,OO0 francs, Or upwards of
$30,000,000. In 1859 the export of silks
reached 20,7l9 metrical quintals (224
pounds each), and this year it has been only
10 903. At the lowest estimate, metrical
luintal of silk is worth $4,000.
