DO They Want Union

Below we publish, verbatim, by re-
quest of the Committee having the mat.
ter in charge, the correspondence be-
tween the Republicans Of Ontwa, offer
ing to nominate a Union ticket to be
supported for township officers. Of
course the offer was rejected by the
Democrats, Notwithstanding the claim
they have attempted to set up that they
were in favor of laying aside all party
organizations until after the rebellion
was ended. While We rejoice that the
offer was not accepted, because we do
not believe any good would have re-
suited from such Union, still it VIII
show the honesty of the Democratic
party in their professions of Country
before party" For ourselves, we favor
the nomination in every town in the
county Of an out and out Republican
ticket. We have no patience with
these "What is it," Union tickets. Let
the Republicans in each town nominate
good and true men, work hard for their
election, and then if defeated, all right.
We, for one, will nor complain. 60
We do not believe that there is a
Democrat in the country who has been
won over to the support of the Gov.
eminent, through the influence of nom
ination; if he is loyal before election
be will remain so after election even if
he is not placed in Office by Republican
votes. Away then we say with these
/" WHAT is it" tickets, and let each party
place in nomination its own representa-,
tives. The following is the correspon-
dence alluded to: aoF <.-i

Wendell Phillips attempted to lec-a

He commenced by avowing himself an
Abolitionist and disunionist. Persons

made himself heard, and proceeded
until something again objectionable
was said, and again eggs were thrown,

At this hour (ten o'clock) the streets

the candidates have held township off

wiser than their leaders in the State
have abandoned their time-honored
name and styled themselves Unionists
and put in nomination ticket which
they call the Union ticket. No doubt
they hope by the aid of Republican
thunder to obtain local triumph. We
shall see how they succeed. Wonder
if they have forgot their threatened

men expect the Freemen of Pennsylvania
will indicate q wish to turn over this
State to Davis, by voting for men who
"imperatioey demand' it.? Elect Barr

allies will claim it as the verdict of Penn

surrender to the Rebels
