The West Union, o., Democratic Union, un'
der the above caption, brings 70 our notice an
Article in TauRLow WEKDs paper, the Albany
EvsAing Journal, which is the central Republi'
can organ Of the State OF New York. IL dis
closes the purpose which gave birth to the un'
ion party, as It was oddly enough called wnen
disunIon Abolllonlsts formed an essential Gle
ment in II, or Peoples party or No-FAr'y party
| for 1. had ss many aliases as any rogue tnH'
was ever arraIgned at the bar.
The Albany Journal says the union was Io'
formed, because there was "Any disloyai eie'
mens 10 the Republican party" OF course not
In the eyes Of such Republican politicians as
THUaLow WEED and hiS coadiutors In New
York and Ohio, the Abolitonists are all simon
pure loyalisls, though they denounce the old
American Union, which the Government is pro-
fessedly carrying on q war and taxing the peo'
pie TO restore and perpetuate, as "a covenant
with death and On agreement with hell, anu
where they do not openly avow this Infamous
sentiment, are practically acting upon Its spirit
in Congress, in State Legislatures and In ON
cial and private stations.
But t'by union" says the Journal, ian op'
portupity was given" to certain Democrats 10
identity themselves with the party OF the coun'
try" the Republican, and Of courae to become
associated with such Radicals and AbolitioniSts
as J. R. GiDDINos, Of Ohio, HoRAcE GREELET'
Of New York, CHAHLEs SUMNER, OF Boston, and
the whole pack Of their admirers and followers
who are yelpng after MCCLELLAN and demand
iDg of the President and Congress to declare
the so.called Confederate States out OF the
Union by their own acts OF secession, and thus
accomplish by another mode what the rebels
arc aiming at in their way--the permanent dis
solution Of the Union. Truly, the Democrats
who entered the no-psrty organization, ought
to be very grateful for an opportunity to be-
come merged into combination which has per-
sistently sought, and Ia now indefatigably seek
Ing the overthrow Of the Old Union of non
slAveholding and slave States, and declares
for a new Union, In which none Of the latter
States shall have a place or name
The Union, Peoples, or No-PaFty orgsniEa'
tion, having answered it's main purpose In the
elections last fall, in defeating the old Demo
cratic party, and in securing fat Offices fer Re
publcans, emo doiriment," says Mr. WEED'i
paper, will acc ue to the country, II hereafter
parties assume their original position" BY
parties, of course, is meant the persons who
have heretofore belonged to the Democratic and
Republican organizations respectively. These
have now permission to assume their "origiuaI
position" In fact, according to Secretary
sEwARD's organ, the Republicans have neveI
departed from their position" 1t is the Un
lon or Fusion Democrats only who have got ou
of line, and having performed In one politica
campaign the service for which they were en-
listed, they are now grsciously allowed to fall
back into their old ranks.
The Journal gives the Democratic allies o.
its party, whether they remain in it Or 90 out
one admonidon, AID that Is, that il they re-
ceived the No-Party union last fall, "as an
earnest of the permanent abandonment of the
Republican party" they wofully mistOok "at
once its purpose ard effect" The Republican
party, according to the Albany manifesto, lives
on, and will live on till the war is ended, and
after the war is over, for 1t has emission" to
accomplish, Of which its radical and Abolition
leaders are becoming the authorized interpret
ers and expoundese.
