The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1864-12-01
Once More a United North.

Ii is gratifying to observe that mrny OF
the leading Democratic journals yield
prompt aud graceful acquicscence TO the
p Dpular verdict in favor Of Mr.. Line oln.--
The tone of the leading articles of some
Of them do credit to the character Of
American j, urnnism, and to the manly
and patriotic sense OF duty impelliDg their
editors. This rs ns il should be, and il is
to be hoped ,hut their course will be
cmulated by oil others, and have its influ-
ence upon the masses Of the Democratic
party. The issue was distinctly made,
and the people have given an unmisluka-
Bile decision. Whit has been decided as
to the policy OF the future, in their strong
Endorsement Of the policy OF the past,
should be respected as the decision OF the
body of the American people, and o:cry.
thing like fociiuus opposition should be
couscientiously forbornc for the future.
II has been the misfortune of the 10y
al States, during the last two years, tlut
they have been divided and distracted by
violent party strife, while Il err adversary
has enjoyed the advantage Of virtual
uuGnimty. They are now likely To be
divided; therefore let us be united, that
the war may DO brought TO a speedy
close. ...... ...
Upon the main issue there is no room
for division now. Davis. within this very
week, in his message TO the Richmond
Congress, has announced to the people o.
the South ind TO the world that there
will be no peace on the part Of his Gov
ernment until the independence Of the
South is acknowledged. On tho other
hand, the people OF the twcnty.six loyal
States who voted ON Tuesday last, have
by un overwhelming majority of the
Electoral vote, and by heavy majority
Of the popular vote, decided that there
shnll be no cessation of the most vigorous
war until the authority of the nation is
restored over the rebcllious States. And
they have, moreover, decided that the
policy which is TO control the prossccu-
lion Of that war rs long as il shall last is
that adopted by the present Executive
Hence there can be no end to the wal
until Davis urinicF are beaten, or unit
the powerful North is disgracciully con
qucred. .
That war will be brought to a sIe dy
and honorable closc, or lipger along
with all its heavy burdens and sacrifices
Just in proportion as the people Of tht
loyal States are united, earnest and reso
lutte, or divided, halling and vacillating
II Is for tho mssses Of the Democratic
party TO decide this important question.
The war to restore the national authority
must 90 on. Shall ii be a lingering war!
II your answer is yes, then continue your
efforts to keep alive the distractions OF
the past. Shall nll the power OF united
and determined people be put forth 70
bring the war TO prompt and successful
Termination? Ifyeur answer is yes, then
observe and act according to the tone
Of such exponen,s ofyour party, as the
Journal of Cammerce, the National
IntsIiigencer, the Boston Courier aud The
Boston Post, and leave Of all bitter aud
disturbing opposition until the war is
ended. .-
On the other side wholesome exam.
pie has been set by Mr.. Lincoln and
Secretary Seward in their speeches, and
by the leading Republican organs, which
We trust and do not doubt will be follow
ed by the masses OF their party.-PhHa
