This IL matter which cannot bc passed over
lightly, ami these arc times when It will not do
70 study 70 keep up party feuds and party ami
mosltles. These are times when all loyal men
must sacrifice on the altar Of their country their
party and even their private loves, and, what to
most men is still more difficult, their party and
their private hafreds, for the Union can be
saved only on condition that the whole North
present an unbroken front and, to use . fine
ScrlPtural expression, march on As one man

had she not counted on a divided North, and
support IRON party which was opposed to Alb
clifton, and even Republicanisn, and in elections
had always acted under her dictation and sus.

ed to her only the non-fghting Abolitionists and
the Republican party, who, both together, con.
stltuted only bare majority Of the population
OF the Notwithstanding States; and if her CT.
pectations in this respect had been realized, she
would, IN all probability, have been able to sue

We know, and can afford to know, until the
