The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-12-02

The Nashville Dispatch appeared yes
terday enlarged and improved. We take
this as sn evidence of substantial pros
perity, which juslifies the proPrietors Ia
feeling a natural pride" in the indorse-
ment their j1urnal has received. They
are proad,-but are they grateful
Whence does the Dispatch draw its re-
sources Of prosperity? The basis Of is
circulation, is the secess ion and secession
sympaihizing elements in our midst.
The rebels regard it as their organ.
John Morgsn's itinersnt newspaper, 1t is
true, did, in one of its issues last year,
denounce the Dispatch az an abolition
concern" but subsequently, after being
posted, withdrew the charge, alleging
that the Dispatch was doing all it could
for the South, under The circumstances
which, we. suppose, meant sub-yosa.
Then, it gets the advertising custom OF
the few remaining relics Of the rebellion
that are doing business in Nashville.
With these for a foun datiOn, it receives
considerable advertising custom from
our loyal military authorities, and from
loyal merchants. The paper is, also,
bought by numerous loyal soldiers, and
other loyal sojOurn6rJ here, and in this
way is the structure of its prosperity
built up.
And now let ask, has the Dispatch
shown any gratitude for these fAvOrs
from the lOyalY If so, we have failed
to see it." Our loyal military author
tiles, our loyal merchants, and lOyalists
generally, who contribute to the support
of the paper, are indebted 10 the govern
ment of the United States for the posi-
tiOns they hold, for their business, and
all they possess. That Government is en-
gagged in struggle with armed rebels for
its life. If the rebels succeed, cur free
government is destroyed, and tie pros
perity and happiness of all our loyal
men, 60 to destruction with it. Has
ever the Dispatch said word of en-
couragement for the Government whose
protection and patronage it is enjoying
Has it ever cheered the soldiers who
have left their homes and friends, and
gladly encountered all the privations and
hardships of the camp and the march,
and the dangers of the battle -feld
Has it ever uttered a kind thought to
strengthen the hands of the President of
the United States, and to increase his for
titude and zeal, in the midst of trials
such as have never been endured by any
former Chief Magistrate of our Republic?
Who can point us TO sentence, line, or
3 syllable, in behalf of the government,
the army or the navy? Oh no, it has
not, and will not do any thing to aid the
government, or its armies and nsvies
On the contrary, it has the assurance to
announce that "t is free fran al parties
and chgues." Free from "all parties'l as
if it were something discreditsbIe and
dishonorable to become q party to the
preservation of our happy form of gov
ernment. Free from all "cliques" as if it
were deserving of reproach, to act with
band of men, "cliqus'' of armed SOL
diers, if you please, to resist the tide of
rebellion. Free from "party," when the
nation is bleeding atevery pore, and duty
requires the service Of every man to aid
in its preservation! Free from "cliques,"
when questions of momentOus conse-
quences are at issue, upon the settlement
of which, the fortunes and interests of
millions are involved. No, no, it has "nO
interests to serve except through the sue
cess of honest industry" Honest IagO!
put money in your purse-get money
And for this, let country, creeds, and
everything go to wreck. Oh, Rome, thou
hast lost thy breed of noble bloOds !
Loyal man, dost thou like the picture
