all Union men, nor to Democrats and al
Union men but it "cordially invites The
Incorporation Of all patriotic men,"

the first clause, as follows:

republican County Committees to forego cal
ing Conventions, that all good, loyal men, ma,
come togethtr and work harm onlousIy to pro

That is our style precisely. We have
never desired Union Of the two parties
that would only ten' to keep up strife and
contention between tho par*ies-constan,ly

enough. Il embodies the true principals O
OF hepublicanism, and is probably, as wei
conducted as any party ever will BE-. In al

get control Of the Government, aud it is fo
this reason and also to prevent the conten

can be accomplished by the organization Q

corrupt in either of the old parties, will b,
