The Harmony of The Union Party a
Prime Necessity.

We trust that rs the Presidential canvass adj
vances, tho great loyal body of the Union party
will show that they will tolerate no personal alter
cations that they will put the ban upon them as
hostile and fatal to the Union cause. The party
cannot afford TO be patient with men who think
more OF Their own rcsenment than of the Interests
Of the country. Tho millions who make M the
party are themselves controlled bypublic considera
tions onlyi and they have right to insist that this
shall be the all-rumg spirit of the party. If this
can be secured the triumph of the party is certain
There is that in the Baltimore ticket and platform
which will surely overcome all opposition, unless it
be betrayed by false friends No observing man
doubts that the majority Of the people are for the
prosecution of the war until the rebels are subdued
into an unconditional submission That determine
ton finds IFS only clear exponent in tho declared
policy of the Union party. The opposition party
Will and of necessity must 20 before the people
either with peace propositions outright with half
and-half, mill-Nnd-watcr resolutions that will OK
press principle nor purpose In spite OF all
the venom which the copperheads will emit against
President Lincoln, and all their misrepresentation
of the cause TO which he is comwitted the great
loyal, treason-hating majority of the people will
stand fast to the real ISSUE and give an overwlcm-
ing vote for the maintenance of the war, if those
who act in the name of the Union party truly Do
vote themselves TO its thorough organization and
the concentration of its patriot spirit. Let there
be an end of cvcry old ranking, every unpleasant
memory; and let every man who cares for the de
lNerancc Of his country from its terrible dangers,
know no purpose but to do his utmost toward re-
elcctng the President who is pledged unrescrvedly
never TO yield TO the rebcllon.-Ncu York Times.

Mr.. LincOIn's Course Approved.

There can be no doubt that Mr.. Lincoln in reus
ing TO listen TO any overturcs of pacific nature
which do not contemplate for their very starting
point tho complete extinction Of slavery on the
North American Continent, has acted the part of a
wise and ar-seeng statesman and given td those who
conldcn his sincerity an Emancipa,ionisi another
pledge of his honesty and good faith. The fear of
many has been that in fatal moment the President
would value the Union above liberty, and that the
negro, bound hand and foot, would be handed over
TO his taskmaster as tho price of worthless alleg
ancc and an unenduring peace. But Mr. Lincoln
has exhibited a decision of character and loyalty
TO his declared purpose whicln should satisfy both
friends and foes that long as he remains at the
helm there no danger of compromise on this vital
question.
We are inclined to think that the gentlemen who
assembled ut Niagara never really expected that any
reasonable scheme of pacication would grow out of
their correspondence with Mr.. Lincoln. They have
probably desired TO give strength TO the Democratic
party, in view of the Presidential election They
may have hoped TO place the President in false po-
sition-at all events, to commit him, by word or
deed, to an unpopular line Of action. The presence
of Mr.. Sanders, of New York, who was formerly
one of the lights Of Tammany Hall, gives color to
the theory that the Niagara conference was Dem
ocratic vancouver The Copperhcads want plat
form; and if the correspondents of the New York
Times may be credited, Mr. Sanders and his South
crn colleagues have endcavored to give them one
II may he simply coincidence that these ncgotia-
tions have taken place on the eve of the Chicago
Convention, just as il may be mere accident, which
at this particular iuncurc has brought Ex-Presiden
Buchanan and Mr.. Mason, the Confederate Envoy,
under the roof of the same hotel at bennington
IT, however Mr.. Fernando Wood and his party
think that Mr.. Lincons refusal to receive back the
South with much Of slavery rs may have sur
vived the war will give them good cry TO go to
the country with we think they viii speedily dis
cover their mistake The doom of the Slave system
is sealed: and while the magnity Of the faction in
the LOYAL States which desire its resusctation is I'M
diminished their influence is steadily on the decline
and they can no more put time back three years than
they can a hundred.

DR.. Liebcr on The Chicago Platform.

The New York Times publishes the following
philosophical and logical extract from private let
ter, recently written by the eminent DR. Lcbcr:
The Chicago platform appears TO my mind the
well-lWmod creed of Northern servity TO the
criminal arrogance of the Soutla sanction of the
highcst-handod lawossnoss The election of Gone
raj Mcclellan means armisticc; armstice means
separation; separation means disintegration-
instant separation of California, the dropping of of
Utah an empire in the Mississippi Valley the ox-
csion of New England, and an Inorganic cluster
ing and reclustering Of the Eastern Middle States
without any Inherent character. Disintegration
means defiance TO the wonderfully great and self
completing geography of our country, and lapse
into that state which becll Europe at the beginning
of the Middle Ages, when prncipaties and
fell enduring only long enough TO perpctuatc the
sangunary turmoil it means n repetition of the
chronic revolution which has afflicted South Amcri
en- this half century possibly with neighbor grow
ing sn monarchic power which soon would claim
the right of extension and rccupcrution Dsintc-
grafton means the reckless rising against that poll
ty which the Disposcr of Events has ordained as
the normal type of modern civilization, against the
Mathematical Government, which is the opposite to
the hating League, the vast, yet incoheront mon
archy, the provincial kingdom the petty city, State
and the lragmehtary lcudalism. II means quarrel
ing, boodshcd and ruin, without an idea, for
try to come and disgrace forever Ii means the
hoartess destruction of nation appointed to per-
form great and sacred tasks. In means all this and
slavery TO boot that 'divinc institution whose al
tar is the auction table on which the undivine ties
of parents and children are torn asunder by the
auctioncer who thus becomes u holy missionary of
the worshipped institution.
