GER | wish the cream to accumulate" Now
that the Union Democratic party in this State
| is so manifestly shorn of each and every ell
ement aud prestige through which it ever had
the remotest possible show for success now
when true men of all parties who unsefshly
love their country SO fierceiy assailed, beyond
| all earthly things and never more than now,
when she seems to stand alone the objectand
focus Of the worlds limitless hate, are cast
| ing about for the means whereby they can

diers, the sorry spectacle is presented of a
few men, claimil g to be Union men, who with
the abandoned and played out machinery Of
| the Union Democracy, are trying to confuse,
and as far as they can, imperii the Union
sentiment of the State. Chi 6onoz They
.. wish the cream to accumulate" In the
furtive and forlorn hope that some accident
may occur by which the peoples faith IN tie
Cover nment and the Administration may be
shaken, upon the happening of which event
they expect to experience call to power,
they propose to keep up an organization
which under no circumstances can serve a
useful end, or illustrate any distinctive prin-
ciple,
| These remarks are intended to embrace on
ly some of the leaders most instrumental In
the movement. We grant that there are good
and true Union men who insist that the or
ganization of the Union Democracy should be
kept in nation. They say that they are
afraid of 'sAboltionism don like the Re-
publicans-don' like many of the special
acts of the President, (which they term ''his
policy" y and therefore they will oppose any
effort to bring all the Union men Of the State
into one camp.
To the e men few words of counsel might
be safely addressed. As to the question Of
fusion of the Democratic party and the
Republicans, when deemed necessary from
the presence of common danger on this
coast. all tn It need be said is that the point
is made too late in the day. The Democra-
cy and the Republicans hare fused time and
again i'm the last four years. Imprimis. =
They fused in this State in 80 on Baker run
ming with McKibben to defeat Col. Scott, c.
S. A., and Mr.. Burch They fused in the
Legislature of 80 to elect James A. McDou-
cal to the United States Senate. They fused
last winter for t5e purpose of organizing the
'fta;e Senate. Elcb and every one of these
4 fusions'' hare bsen ord. rsSd by all good
I|and true DeniocrAs They likewise openly
fused III Oregon 5 elect Col. Baksr-immor-
tai be the nemoty of the warrior statesman
and Mr.. Nesmith to the Senate, and the par
ties named, in that State, in the late election,
openly fused, coalcsced and amalgamated,
whereby the great victory just announced was
achieved. Wherefore we say it is too late to
talk much about the impropriety of fusion y
with the Republicans. All agree that there
is only ons question before the country. No
sans man can deny it. Therefore, lot those
who take difFarsnt sides Of that question
range themselves accordingly. We repeat
that no motive worthy to see the light impels
some Of the leaders in this emasculatsd Union
Democratic movement, in the course that
they are taking. They can only succeed,
they do not expect to succeed, but upon the
overthrow of the Administration, and the de-
struction Of the citizens confidence therein
nor do they seek to upturn it because it Is
intrinsically or cxtrsnsieaily bad OF inefhci-
ent, lut only to the end that selfish schemes
of their owa may ha successful. This is a
ritiful work.
The war Eagsd by tbs lad and wicked
men in this revolt, now for thirty years a-ripe-
ming, is far from being over. In its sargings
and changes it may, nay it probably will en-
brace sections as yet spared from its rayages.
Then let all Union men. all who love this
country with an earnest and unss!fsh deSo
tion beyond all other things of earth, act to-
gether, SO that bugle call may summon
them, if ever necessary, from one camp,
whose watch-fres are kept steadily afams.--
Let the Union men net be diverted frosa their
high mission by any of the paltry schemes OF
designing partisans.
