THE Union PARTf.-The present condition Of
the country leaves no alternative TO true Union
mon Int to stand firm, shoulder to shoulder, in
one upbroken front while this fierce contest is
uninp on. Every device, scheme and trick
which treachery, hypocrisy and corruption can
conceive is now being resorted TO in order TO
betray the unwary and non-commtsai into the
support of principles and party which to all in
tents is in full communion and cooperation with
the enemies of the Union. Under the once hon
ored name of Democracy, they are attempting
20 bring into the loathsome folds Of the conspir-
acy, and lead by indirect avenues to the den OF
treason, the frttered remnants Of that once noble
party which supported the standard of the true
and honored Douglas. To effect this end they
are secretly organizing in every precinct county
and city throughout the State, establishing news
papers, clandestiney distributing circulars hold
ing nocturnal but informal meetings, republish
ing incendiary and reasonable speeches, and re-
criying communications and instructions to and
from the leaders of the Niger Confcderacy."
They wickedy falsely and bypocritcally pretend
that they are for the Constitution as it is, and
the Union as it was" when they know the ului-
matim of the rebels, as often reiterated by their
leaders and journals, is final and eternal separa-
ton, and the complete humiliation and subjuga-
tion of the Federal Government.

and sbreking about pretended violations of the

No sane man will contend that the Union can
be saved by making war on those who are fight

not who shall administer The Government, but
whether we shall have any Government to ad-
