rHE PREs1DENr AND HIS PARTY.

In very remarkable article, in the last
Wikks' Times, occurs the following pregnant
paragraph:
the President, and we deplore the opportunity
he has let go by, to sustain himself. AS
strange philosophy as it may seem for a
Democrat to hold, We regard the fact of his
being virtually isolated from his party, as the
greatest danger of the State. Supported by a
great branch OF the American people, who,
whether their politics are right or wrong, are
still patriotic citizens, the President remains
an object OF power and respect but Tylerized
and alienated, he becomes merely Abraham
Lincoln, who can not be supported in his er-
rors, merely because he is filed with good in
tentions. If he lose the support of his own.
party, he cannot count on the respect of ours !;
and 1t is palpable to the simplest reasoner,
zation ofthe people, cannot guide the Nation
through these stormy times.
There is solemn truth in this. No Presi-
dent can carry on Government successfully
without powerful party, and party aciH
confde in him but the one ,phich elected him
Mr.. LINCOLN and his adm inistration must stand
or fall with the party which elected him. If
he breaks with the Republicans, or Radicals,
as they called, he will have no party which
will trust him, confide in him, and cordially
sustain him. We do not believe Mr.. LINCOLN
designs to break with his party, but there are
traitors and schemers who seeking to pro-
duce this result, and they will stop at no fraud
corruption, hypocracy or lying to accomplish
their object.

DEATH OF CAPT. j. W. BAIRD.-An occa-
sion of much interest was exhibited in our
quiet town on Friday and Saturday. Captain
Josiah W. Baird. our fellow townsman and
commander of Company ID of "MerrelI's
Horse" had, as it appears, been slain on Sat-
urday the 9th instant, in an engagement with
guerrilla band, near GlOsgow, Mo. Mrs.
Baird, who was on visit to her husband, (ac-
companied by DR.. R. W. Landis, Chaplain OF
the regiment, and the body OF the Captain,)
returned TO her home among us on Friday
evening. Our community was taken by sur
prise, rs no notice OF the disaster had reached
US, (the telegram which had been sent an
nonncing the fact, having failed to arrive,)
aud only short time before, letters had been
received here from Capt. Baird himself The
facts of his death appear to have been these.
Word was brought to the camp at Glosgow
on Saturday morning, that guerrilla band
was lurking in the brush some 8 or 10 miles
north OF GlosgOw, and Capt. B. and portion
OF his command were detailed, along with
some of the State militia, to proceed against
them. Having reached the place, the advance
was fired into by the enemy, and Capt. Baird
having ordered his men tc dismount, advanced
at their head into the brush where the guerit-
las were concealed. In the first charge OF the
enemy upon this advance, Capt. B. fell NOR
tally wounded-the frmcral artery having been
severed, he survived but few moments. AS
lie sank down, however, he discharged his re-
'olSer twice at the foe, who we're now in
s'gh', and animated his men to the charge.
Inc guerr''ias were entirely cut up and defeat
ed' and the man who shot Captain Baird, fell
pierced by rour balls. The Captain was great
iy beloved by his men and highly esteemed
oy the Officers OF the regiment. No braver
man. or fruer patriot, has fallen in this war.
lie was born, August Sd, 1926
The obsequies were attended on Saturday.
Inc whole community for miles around SEEM
co 10 be present, and the funera was the lar
ees' ever seen in this place. A detail of mil.
nary, and the band, accompanied the body to
The church and then to the grave. and it
SEEMED to us that nothing could exceed the
eA4ulsitively fine performance of the band on
'he occasion. The Rev. Mr.. Galloway. Pas
'or oi the Presbyterian church here, assisted
oS Dr. Landis, conducted the services.
