These are two OF the parties on ono side.

can at least help to teach the world that dss-

Thus far for one slse. On tho other, We

THE FRRmONr mEa.
The 6issouyt Radio1l, one OF the ablest
German papers in the United States, hitherto
asupporter of Gen. Fremont, has hoIsted the
Lincoln electoral ticket, and is doing battle
vigorously for the cause Of Union and Ere.
dom in the only way left open to those whe
believe that truth is Immortal, while men
perish and pass away. The reasons urged by
Dr.. Hn1gairtner, the editor Of tho Radtea, fo1
his present courRc, are such a must appeal
strongly to the good sense and patriotism ol
the friends or Gen Fremont In Mtssour,
where the radical party is strong. So fae a.
personal considerations 60, the departure n
Mt. Blstf from the Cabinet II substantial
triumph for hem, although We believe thai
tht1r virtue did not need even this incentive
to bdDg them ut last uldtr the only stand
ard inscribed with the principles of liberty
and law. We welcome the Ead;aal to The
rnnks oi the Union party. We cannot afford
to loso the services of men who feel u
warmly, AID who speak rs fearlesaIy ~ the
Radicals of. Missouri have ever felt and
spoken. -.
But Dr.. .Hillga1tne is not the only dis
tpguished adherent OF Gen. Fremont who
has sacrificed. personal feeling tor the good
Of tho country. The German Anseriean
Mos.tMy for October contains = carefully
&15tii5a article from the ptn Of Hon. Casper

for supporting the Union ticket Mr. Buss

We concede that Mr. Buk and the F.
