Party and No-Parlx.

1 he kepnOllcans are trylngto inaugur-
ate their party scheme again They
tried it last summer IN several Of the States
but were defeated, and for time abandon
ed it and made desperate effort to rally /
their old party on the former issues. AT /
ter months of labor and defeat after defeat 1
wherever elections have been held, they
have made up their minds TO try to huns
bug the people again. The Republicans of !
New York lead of in the movement; and
we may EXPECT to see the members Of that
party generally follow their example.
The proposition of these Republ leans is,
to abandon old party names and to organize
a new party. under the cognomen Of "Unien
party"
Now, this Black Republican proposition
to ignore party, is subterfugc-a huns
bug. The fact is, they are aware that their
doom is sealed as Republicans; and hence
their only hope IS to get up some organiza-
ton which is not SO obnoxious to the peo-
pie.
We are opposed to this proposition for
Ignoring old party organizations. If the
Republicans wish to disbaud their party
aud to unite with the Democrats in sus~
tanning the constitution, we have not the
slightest affection. But we never shall
agree to the disbanding of the Democratic
party. We believe that the existence Of
the Democratic party is essential to the
preservation Of cur liberties and the saliva
tion of our country from its present peri
lous condition. Therefore, We shall oppose
every proposition or movement calculated
to weaken its efficiency or destroy its power
as On element Of protection to cur free
institutions ami wholesome laws
But while we are opposed to abandoning
the Democratic organization, at the same
time we are willing to rerew cur pledge.
that NJ parties at the North must unit,
to defend the Government against the hos
tie attacks Of the seceders. Whatever
opinion we RAY. entertain as to the cause of
the war, Ct "a % the extent to which it
4 should be prosecuted, We are willing to
/ unite with cur Republican friends in the
/ maintenance Of the Government and in the
/ support of the ADM nistration in all its
lawful efforts to put down the tebelion.-
! Such are the sentiments of every Democrat
! in the North, and such is the manifested
I disposition of every true friend of his coun
/ try.
! However, if the Administration ard it's
party would meet the issue as become pat
riots with spirit Of Cancellation, and with
an apparent and honest desire to array all
good citizens up one side, and in common
/ effort to save the country from the dangers
which so fearfully threaten it, there could
he little difficulty in accomplishing the OBJ
jet.
Let the Administration cease its partizan
sehemes-cease giving Offices to the Gidd-
| ingses, Helpers, Eastmans, Cassias NJ. Clays,
and BuTlingsmes, ana make it apparent
that it is aciuated by rne great purpose
that of saving the Union, and restoring, if
/ possible, peace and unity to the country
/ let it lay aside the Chicago platform and
I party schemes, and accept the services
and listen to the advice Of true patriots, aud
it will then command our undivided SYM
pathy and support. But we have no hope
that it will do this. Its acts proclaim
different policy. Its whole aim appears to
be to build up the Republic PARTY, at the
expense Of the Union-at the expense Of
the peace and prosperity of the people
The Republicans must hot think that
because Democrats will fight to defend the
existing Goverbment, that they will toler-
ate any attomrt of the Administration to
make this the occasion to establish the pc
cuiar doctrines Of its party. Because
Democrats are willing to fight against the
rebels, it mus; not be thought that they
will submit to the promuIsatiln Of the dan
gerous doctrine that the rights and indie
pendcnce CT the States are to be abridged
and the power Of the nation centralized and
consolidated in the hands of the General
Government. This, we regard. as nearly
as dangerous as the doctrine Of secession
Neither can we, while uphVlding the Admin
istration in carrying on the war. patiently
see the Executive aud Congress violating
the plainest provisions Of the constitution
without raising cur voices against ii.
