Shall the Union Organization be Aban'
doned H-r

The Cleveland Leader urges an abandon
nent Of the Union organization in this state
claiming that i, has failed to answer the oxpecta'
,ions Of the people. There is great force in its
arguments, and we only regret that they were
not presented one year ago, when. with the Her
aid it abored to forostoll public opinion in favor
of union. Some then ioresaw what others
have since learned by experience, but, being in
the minority, were powerless to prevent It.
We cared little for party names, but thought That
Republicans, before entering into union, ought
Mt least to demand recognition of the Anti
Slavery sentiment Of the State. low could unity
of action be expected without unity OF sentiment
But the Union organization was formed shal II
il now be aoandonedi We would not answer
this question hastily, but one thing is certain
that the Uuion party OF Ohio must assume Anti.
Slavery ground, as strong at least as that o.
the Union party Of New York. or its longer con
tinuance will be neither profitable nor desirable
Republicans who value their principles cannot b.
content with simply aiding in elevating to ollic
men who condemn and repudiate them. Th
Democratic State Convention is to be held a
Columbus, on the 4th of July. As Unonsts o
Republicans, we must be prepared 10 meet the is
sues which that Convention shall present Th
policy of evasion has been tried and foun
wanting.

Appearance of the Battle Field.

A correspondent of tho Now York Times
thus describes the battlo field whero CASEY s
division was surprised and routed
Tho scene os that unequal and terrible
cOnhict-Iho battle fold, yet rod with the
blood OF its victims, on which wo arc now
cncamped--no pen can convey an ado
quate description of its revolving horrors.
Every whore about us arc strewn all tho
irnppings OF tho surprised camp. trampled
in the mire, or piled in heaps. to be con.
sumod by fire. whiIo bistoring pools OF
blood and now made graves interrupt our
foots cps at frequent intervals. Alabam-
ians, Carolians, Georgians. aud Virginians
are buried in long rows all about us, scarce
a dozen yards beyond, and all through the
telleG timber, and swamps, and woods, and
field, lie hundreds and hundreds of unburied
dead, black, disfgured and corruptiUg be-
nOath the sweltering skies-all traces OF
recognition gone, and myriads OF worms
rapidly reducing them to skeletons. Tho
woods, for miles, present the same sickening
and disgusting spectacle. and thousands OF
unburied skeletons will indicate this terrible
battle field long after peace is restored
Tho stencil is intolerable iu many places,
and the horses, which lie thickly scattered
upon the field, arc being burned.

The Fighting in Mexico.

We have details OF recent important
events in Mexico, including the battle be-
tween the French and Mexican forces near
Puebla, in which the French we're de-
feated and forced to retreat to Orizaba.-
Two ba,talions OF French Zouaves skir-
mishing as light infantry began the attack.
These covered two strong columns Of in
fantry supported by riAed cannon. The
Mexcans waited till their ent mics were
within so yards, and then fred. The
French fled whilst the Mexicans charged
but other French columns renewed the
attack, and second time they fled, leav-
ing number OF dead who were sho! in
the back Again the Mexicans charged,
and had they had cavalry would have de-
styoyed the invading army. The French
did not renew the attack on the front, but
sent strong column against the fortfi-
cations Of Guadalupe. They were here
also repuIsed, and reinforcement Of
Mexicans coming up, az attack was made
on their right flank. The French at once
fell back on OriEaba. Their loss is esli-
mated by friendly authority at 600 or
800 soldiers in the 6ght and by sickness.
Another fight subsequently, took place
near Orizsba, between the Resctionists,
supported by the French. and the Liberal
forces the result of which is claimed by
both sides as victory. 1t may, there
fore, be regarded as drawn battle. Tho
French forces, it is understood, were 10
remain at Orisaba until they could re-
ceive instructions from their Government.
Meantime, Juarez is making every effort
to fortify the approaches 10 the Capital,
and expresses the determination to defend
| it to the last.

u sentiment never more forcibly

Last week we explained to our
readers the grounds upon which
the Caucasian was admitted to the
mails, and expressed our confident
belief that no trouble need be an
ticipated. This week, however,
our business has been suddenly and
most unexpectedly arrested by an
order from the Post-office Depart
ment prohibiting the Caucasian
from circulating in the mails. Our
only, our sole cause of offending,
so far as we can learn is, that we
have advocated the SubordiRation Of
the negro TO the white man as the
norma order Of American society,
and contended that the relation OF
the races, as it has come down to
us from the founders Of our gov
ernment, is right. 1t is simply the

casidn, therefore, has a deeper
significance than any previous act
OF interference with the press. 1t
is simply a refusal to allow us to
defend the decision of the Supreme
Court of the land.
Rather than have our business

nlent just at the beginning Of Win
ter, we proposed to publish a paper
containing merely the news of the

scribcrs, we thought, might accept
this as a temporary eXpedient, but
astonishing to relate, even this waS
refused.
Onrrcaders may inquire, howcv-
err, what will you do now? Do
you intend to give up? We ar
swcr, NO! The principle that we
arc contending for is the vital
element of our very national ex-
istence. 1t is the doctrine of null
titudes of Democrats in the North,
and with unbounded confidence in
the grand truth that this is a gov
eminent of white men, and none
others, we shall never forsakei it, as
long as there are people enough
left who will support it.
We feel sanguine that this sub.

to believe, will soon be brought
before Congress, and we trust that
the exclusion Of the Caucasian
from the mails will be only tempo.
