We owe to the influence of this movement
the fact that all plrries concerned in sustaining
the Government in the war, aud that the peo-

They have united with this policy of conso

browning act of long series of measures calcu-

free people.
In view of this departure by the partisans of
the Administration from the original purposes of
the movement, we feel Onrsel, es abSolved from
all connection With it, We must look elsewhere
for principles of political admiration in accoriance
with our views. We find this union of patriotism
and principles in the Democratic party Of this
State. whose platform has just been announced.
and whose candidates are in nomination. We
recognize in the principles put forth breadth OF
views and elevation of purpose such as become
a great party in crisis so mOmentous the

Without such party at the North there can
be no Union party at the South. We must have
a political organization in the loyal States which
shall uphold the banner of the Constitution, so

oppressed them, NAV be encouraged TO seek peace
within its walls. We need such party to main

privilege OF American citizenship
We need il to arrest the continued encroach-
