their energies and obstrueting recruiting By IN
dulgiDg in ill-timed, violent, unpatrioiic aul
dangerous political contests. Folly like this, If
/ persevered in, presages destruction.
During a war like this there should be but
one party-the party Of the Union. Every pol
itieisn admits this, and 10 one sets upon it.
On she contrary, in spite Of the aeknoUlsdsd

STAKE, our politicians preserve their party organ
izations and party shibboleths, cali themselves
/ Democrats and Republicans and put forward
/ their candidates under the old banners and with
/ the old war cries Of place and plundsr. We

I pray, to choose between these two parties A.
such a tino as this Both call themselves
patriots, and both are called sraitorcus By their
opponents Greeley and Raymond, In lhsr

Democrats will assault the Republicans on tks

publicly challenging him to duel Democratic
orators lower Themselves 10 Clay's level By call
ing Republicans tyrsnts ard despots snd
threatening to resist the war measures Of the
administration BY mad force. The Democrats
charge the Republicans with being public

The Republicans retort by declaring that the
Democrats were oBes, and are now desirous of
being again, public robbers and sHindlers Bat

every true lover Of his country. We sXhort the
people to pursue the only safe couIss-to take
each party At the estimation Of its opponents,
and have nothing 10 do with either. The result
Of this dangerous political quarrel thus far has
been tie sudden decrease in snlsiments frCm
this cisy and vicinity. What tke fRal resalts
will be may be judged by the action Of ths In
hsbitsnts of Blaekford county, Indiana, Whs.
