In acquiescing so generally and heartily in

no, surrender their distinctive views OF the
manner in which the War ought to have been
conducted, nor retract their affirmation that 1t
might have been, might still be. happily closed.
They simply say. "Thc People have decided
against Us: let those TO whom they have again
int.usted power use it as they shall deem best.
We defer TO the popular verdict and await the
teaching Of events" And this secures great
gain Of moral power to the National cause. The
Opposition will not, as party, stand committed
to hearty support OF the war; but neither VIII

| Meanwhile, within the ranks of the Union

result has been attained. The distinction OF
Conservative aud Radical, as characterzng an

practically ofTaced. 1t has no longer any basis,
any meaning. The honest differences in whichit
originated no longer exist. At the National
Convention held at Baltimore last June, where

The above proposition, why should the tistinc-

-. A

that the Hon. Salmon l.. Chase Will be made

plausible reason exists for its continuance, after
Maryland has been made Free State
in good part through Mr.. BIS Jealous and
vigorous excrtions; while the experience, the
sagacity, ard the energy Of tho veteran Francis
=. Blair, who has been the trusted friend and
counselor Of our most ilustrious statesmen
throughout the last half.century, will continue
to be given, as they have hitherto been, TO the
work OF carrying our country safely, triumphant
ly, through the great CONFUSION which Is dcs-
tined to render her the ircest a. well az the
greatest among nations. And W. rejoice III the
iact that the Administration which has just been
accorded SO decisive victory viii be sustained
aud strengthened by perfect harmony IN the
ranks OF its supporters, while moving steadily
forward 10 the consummaton Of the beneticcnt
work to which it has been called by Providence
and the emphatic voice of the People.
