The Republican or Union" Party.

The N. Y. Herald, speaking OF the po-
litical movements, in New York, prepare
tory to the election, says;
"The party which now calls itself I'm
ion is an old acquaintance with a new Ii
tie. 1t is the abolition republican faction,
which was defeated last year, when it ran
Wadsworth for Governor, and which has
been known at various times as the Fed
eral, the wing, the know-nothing and the
republican party. These abolition politi-
clans have the bad habit of changing their
name after every defeat, as Satan varies
his DISCUSSES wherever his temptations fail.
The term Union could scarcely be more
grossly misapplied than when it is assum,
ed by such a faction. They are the dis
union, not the Union, party. The only
Union which they will accept is Union
on equal terms with negroes. The largest
plank in their platform is no Union with
Shareholders They are disciples of Gar,
rison, Greeley and Wendell Phillips
They are the men who have involved u:
in this terrible civil war and their proceed
ings since the war began have aided, ex
cited and encouraged the rebels quite as
much as the assistance afforded by the
sham neutrals of England. Just at pres
ent they are endeavoring to adapt the
utterances to the new name they have as
sumed for electioneering purposes: bu
the records of the past three years con
clusively show that their programme 70
the future is to annihlate the white mel
of the South: to reduce seeded states t
territorial condition; TO people the Soutl
with freed negroes, and then to form pie
bald, mulatto, amalgamated republic, il
which they can retain power by negrC
votes and by the timely use of their new
tangled right of arbitrary arrest. Thi
platform was presented to the people o
this State last year, and Gen. Wadswortl
stood squarely upon it. The people in
dignantly repudiated the whole concern
then, and we have no doubt that they
will repeat the reputation at the coming
election"

FIRST VESSEL TO CHIcAGo.-The sec
rotary of the Chicago Historical Society,
at late meeting, reported an interview
with Col. James S. Swearingin, of Chilli
Gothic, Ohio, who stated that the first yes
sci visiting Chicago was the schooner
Tracy, of Detroit, in 1903, taking thith-
or company of soldiers to erect fort
(Dearborn.) Chicago was then little more
than trading post, with the Indians, a
few hundred whites only being found there.
The Tracy was owned by tho Govern
ment, which had then only a brig and
this schooner on the lakes. After dis
embarking the soldiers and provisions for
them, for twelvemonth, the Tracy, after
several narrow escapes from adverse ele-
ments, reached Detroit in safety. Tho
brig belonging to the Government was
subsequently captured with her cargo of
furs by the British, and re-taken the same
night, but fired Immediately by hot shot
from the British and destroyed.

New SCHOOL BUILDMG.-The acts of
our citizens, on Saturday evening last, rel
alive to the purchase of a site and the
erection Of new building for school pur-
poses thereon, reflect the greatest credit
upon their public spirit and liberality. A
site, tho finest that can be procured, we
think, in the village on the beautiful en-
inence ust above the rt-House, be-
tween Franklin and Clinton streets, over
looking the harbor the bold sweep of the
river, lakewise, the villages of Ferrysburg
and Mill Point, and occupying one entire
block, has been selected at a cost of ST.
200, and vote taken to negotiate loan
of $4,000 for the purpose of erecting a
commodious building for school purposes
thereon. So great public spirit was man
Tested on the occasion that one of our
prominent citizens offered to take the
bonds Of the district for the entire $lO,-
600, rather than that the district should
pay higher rate than seven per cent in
terest on the loan. We congratulate our
citizens on this liberal and just move in
the right direction.

Enlist within the State.

On the 10th inst. an order was issued
by tho Adjutant General Of the State for
bidding persons returned in the enroll
ment for the pending draft TO enlist in
regiments belonging to other States, or in
the regular army, under the penalty of
being arrested and treated rs deserters,
if, when drafted, they fail to report them
selves as drafted men. This measure we
look upon as just, both to individuals in
terested and to the State.
Michigan has done nobly. We are
proud of her. Though but little more
than quarter of century has COM
menced her existence as State. She
ranks among the first of her sister States
in point Of her agricultural and mineral
resources, and she has by no means been
behind in her expressions of loyalty to
the Government. She has most nobly
and punctually honored every draft that
has been made upon her for men or mon
ev. No other State in the Union has
done more to encourage her sons to leave
their occupations, homes and families and
all the hallowed associations that cluster
around the good and virtuous and bat
sibly for the maintenance of the Govern
ment. And now we want to sustain our
good namo in the face of the pending
draft. We want our own men to sustain
the honor of our State, hitherto so well
established at home and on the battle
field. Give us our own men and we can
do it.
