The opposition of the Cleveland Lead

Iy regretted, regretted because it is I'M
wise, Ill timed, calculated to weaken the
loyal cause, and strengthens the hands of
traitors.
Country before party, is the sentiment
of the people here, and who will say that
is not the patriotic sentiment, one to be
Cherished and cultivated by every friend
of the Government, and well-wisher of
the country"
The Mahoning Register stands its
ground firmly. Brother Dumars very for
chilly says:
The same reasons that impelled a I'M

eminent n year ago, unhappily still ex-
list. The arguments then put forth, why
party differences should be sunk. are
qualify cogent now. Much as it was then
hoped that ere this the Rebellion would
be crushed, and political parties be at
liberty to resume their former independ-
ent positions, the reverse is found to be
the case. While we are aware that much
diversity Of opinion exists among Repub-
licans as TO their duty in the present
emergency, we trust they will bear in
mind that fidelity to their country in its
hour of trouble should outweigh against
all personal or party considerations.
Much as it was to be regretted that our
former political opponents of the Demo
cratic party did not more cordially and
universally cooperate with Republicans
in a union for the sake of the Union"
it is due TO the thousands of noble patri-
OTIS all over u State and country, who
did cut loose from that organization, that
we still act, rs then, in good faith with
them. That a large proportion of the
Democratic party is again being a%rtfully
arrayed by designing leaders against the
Government, eve to the point of resist
ing its laws, is already apparent.
Let, then, the loyal and law-abiding
men of the country again rally as one
man against the mischieyons influencesa at
work in our midst to subvert and destroy
the best government that ever existed in
the tide of time. Throw mere party
distinctions TO the winds, until the SUI
premacy of the government is acknowl-
edged in every part and section of the
country. Let the watchword be, "Fidel-
ty to the Union, and a cordial support to
our common country"
The Garfield Herald, which cordially
and ably advocated the Union cause last
fall, condemns the efforts put forth to ere
ate dissensions in the party at this junct-
ure. 1t says:
Thousands of Democrats have embrae-
ed the Union movement because they be-
lieved that the administration would be
aided in its endeavors to suppress h in
surrection. So, too, this fall, the same
Democrats ale willing to continue with
the Republicans, believing that we can
work harmoniusly together for the same
object"
On the first page of this weeks issue
we print a very strong article IN the I'm
ion question from the Xenia Torchlight.-
1t reflects the sentiments of the heart of
the State. The State Journal is also in
of the Union movement, and, in
deed, wethink the nine-tenths of the Uni
on papers of the State are in favor of il,
as being in accordance with the public
sentiment of their several localities.
The Norwalk Reflector, the organ of
the Union men of Huron county says:
The Union movement was emphatic !
ally a movement of the people, and man
decided political iberality IN the
part of the Republicans, who were largely
the ascendant But menwho have on
ly the good of their country at heart, can
afford to be liberal in that way. We were
iu favor of the movement last year, and
after considerable reelection on the sub
iect, we are still in favor of it."
So far as the press on the Reserve has
expressed opinions on the subject, there
are but two instances of hostility to the
continuation of the Union programme
This speaks well for the patriotism and
liberality of the Reserve.
