The Republican party has shown very com.
mendaole spirit in fostering this feeling, and
the President and his prominent supporters in
Washington have strongly recommended such
Coarse of action among their political friends
everywhere, as will produce a fraternzation of
al! true friends of the Union, in the elections
tor Congress, which are to come ofFthe coming
Fall. Although it is to be hoped that ere many
moons shall have passed over us, the rebellion
winch Is new upon the country will be utterly
put down, still there will be found to have arisen
many delicate and difficult questions, which will
require all the wisdom and virtue of the trne
men OF The nation TO settle, which will fully re-
establish our admirable system of government
upon the solid and conservative basis on which
u was placed by the patriots of the revolution.
l ne conservative men Of the country are to
'ake hold of the the reins, and to repudiate the
sneaklng dlsloyaists of the ValIandghan and
F0"e4 school On the one side, whose hopes of
ge'GHg into power would not permit them to
sop at any act, We believe, even to the thro,.
'hAg OF this mighty nation; sad, on tho other

t''eJoy and Garrison factions, who would pre-
isr dissolution of our glorious Union, ra ther
'nan their ultra schemes should fail oftheir ac.
