UNION VIEW.
OF the Union or v ar Democracy, Mr..
IoUNGMAN, Of the Sunbury Gasette, has
long ranked among the FIRST, and supports
Lincoln for reelection. BY the following
article, from his paper of the ssme week,
it will be seen that be practically arrives
at the same conclusion as Br. Dieifenbach.
Br. Youngmsn says:
D@-"Tbe extinc,iou Of the so-called
Democratic party, has been made . fixed
fact. This gtest event is attributable
more to the conduct of the leaders of that
party, than to the efforts Of its opponents.
It's decease may be regarded as case of
suicide. But this is not an exceptional
case in the history of this country. To
die has been the inevitable fate of all par
ties which have opposed the governmental
authorities while engaged in war.
"Tbe Tories Of the Revolution we're the
euemies of the heroic founders of our
Government. They opposed the Revolu,
ton, and, in conseq qIeDce, became extinct
as party, aud have since been regarded
as infsmous.
"The Federalis.s opposed the War of
1872. Their opposition was founded up-
on a legitimate question of policy, in
" bich the existence Of our free institutions
vas Dot involved, as it was 10 the ReSolu-
ton, and is now in the present struggle
yet the opposition Of Federalisrs to the
war of lel2 was enough to consigu their
party TO destruction, and i, accordingly
went out Of existence
"The late Wing party were the oppo.
nents Of the war against Mexico. Yet,
the wicked and infamous
object of that war, as has been developed
by ulterior eeeuts,) the bare fact of their
hostility to the governing authorities while
struggling with an enemy, was enough to
ruin the party. The Wings could not
survive tha, false step, and speedily died
out as a political organization.
''Tbe fourth example is shown 10 the
Heath Of the Democratic party, caused BY
ts opposition to the war for the suppress.

sustained them in it, opposing

md the result has been seen this year at
he polls, where the most witbering rebuke
las been administered TO this faction Of
politicians.
"As the Federalists and Wings, for a

insured their death, made some signs of

eus. Probably they may initiate the
xanple of the Wings in 1852, when they

I'd yet harmonious views Of the two
iDgs of the old Democracy, We do not
