LEADER :" but let il turn 70 its files Of the
l4th Of May, 1862, and it will find there
loaded communication, il which are these
words

This communication is in the column
usually devoted TO editorial matter, and in
the whole paper there is not a word or
sign Of dissent from it. II must therefore
be regarded as cOineiding with the views
Of that paper.
Again, in the Plain Dealer Of June I'd,
VIC find communication (and with the
sentiments Of this, thore is no word Of dis
sent in the paper, in which the PROPOSE
ton is thrown out 70 the Old Line Wings,
as the halance-Of-pOwer party to unite
with the conservative Democrats in OppO-
sitiOn tOths AbOHtionists," the following
being the words used 'cThe same war
must be made on Abolitionists as on seces-
sionists OF the country cannot be saved. y
In this term Of FAbolitionists," areineluded
such men as Wade, Riddle Sumner. Hale,
Greeley, Fremont, Potter, Chandler, and,
in short, all earnest Republicans who are
in favor of prosecuting this war without
special leniency to the slave power which
caused it. 1 a4fil. ia 50
Nov we ask the Republicans Of Ohio if it
is safe to unite with such a party as this,
which enters the Union movement only
that it may the more surely stab the Re-
publican party? VIII the self-respect, the
success and the permanence Of Republican
ism warrsnt such suicidal policy?
I There is another consideration Of the
highest Importance. Representatives, from
the Congressional districts in the State are
to be nominated and elected this year.
Under the "Uniopn movement, the Demo-
Gratis will claim one half the delegates to
those conventions, and viii be willing to
concede the other half only to ''oOnserva-
tives, or hunker-Republicans. These
forces win work in opposition to what they
call ''radicnl" Republicans, the term which
they apply to those Ohio Representatives
who are the most earnest in the prosecp-
/ ton Of the war, even at the risk of injur-
lhg slavery-and viii endeavor 70 send in
their place Representatives, not Of the Re
publican party, nor Of the mass Of the peo-
pie, but of their own pro-siavery views
men who will oppose eoufscatiOn of rebel
property, who viii doubtless favor gen
ersl amnesty, and who viii, under plea Of
generalization" urge a reconstruction of
the Union in which slaYehqldinR rebels
design OF the Democrats IN C0n1uner16n
with the conservatives WilIthe people
Of the State consent to be represented by
such men in the coming Congress, which
will have more important work to do than
even the present one, for it must recon
struet the Government and re-estaBlish
Federal relations with the rebel States If
not, lei them beware Of the insidious
''Unionn platform for this year, upon
which the Democrats. giving 10 it only ten
per cent Of their strength, viii still auda-
ciOusly claim Ons-half of the delegation in
nominating Conventions, and in Con-
4 gressiOnal Representations.
The Republican platform is broad enough
for all who uphold the Union, and desire
the good Of their country. The EaIlandig-
ham Democrats have taken their position :;
the RepEblioans stand over against them.
Upon one side or the other must all be
ranged. Let the great mass Of the Demo
cratic party take that side which is most in.
accordance with their convictions, and not
demand that the Republicans shall meet
them half way upon compromise
ground. ~ p,
We therefore respectfully suggest that a
State Convention be called, for the nomi-
nation Of straight Republican ticket, and
that Republican Congressional Conven-
tiOns be held, at which true representatives
Of the Republican party, as it is, will be
put in nomination for the next Congress.
We cannot close this article better than
by quoting the words of the Buffalo E1-
press upon this matter: PIT
If these mon honestly desire the over
throw Of this Vallandigham style of De-
mocraCy, they can find no way SO effective
for the accomplishment Of their wishes as
to join their efforts with the Republican
Organization which in 1860 swept the State
by an overwhelming majority, and reno
waited the federal government. We confess
that we do not ike this antecedent condi-
tipn, which insists that the Republican
organization shall be dissolved before men
can enter heartily into the work Of voting
down modern democracy
