Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-04-23

Political.
A recent number Of the Michigan Jour
nal, an able and enterprising German
daily paper Of Detroit, had a manly re-
monstrsnce against the attempt making
by certain Of the German Radicals to break
up the Republican party. It says: 'It is
an undenisble fact that the Republican
party alone is at present in condition to
make effective opposition TO the Democrat
ic; if it falls to pieces through collisions
and quarrels, the Democrats can count
upon certain victory, and this is the res-
son why they seek to increase the division
between the radicals and the conservatives.
They did it some time ago by damning the
radicals to the lowest hell, and they do it
now by fattering them upon the soundness
Of their views and the strength of their
character. For ourselves we have q sacred
respect for such fstteTy, and think there
is no special danger in going with that
party which is damned by the copperhesds.
Upon these grounds, we hold that the only
just line of political action is to press for
ward the Republican party by setting up
radical demands, If we do not win every
thing st one stroke, We shall, at least, lose
nothing, which could be looked for with
certainty from victory Of the Democratic
party. We can safely assert that among
the Americans we shall find none who
would give us full guarantees for the car
rying out Of the Cleveland platform, aud,
| with Fremont himself We would be obliged
to content ourselves with partial pay
ment We see no reason why we should
wsntOnly destroy the party which has
hitherto led in the battle against slavery,
because we cannot have all our claims
paid at once. Only those can desire this
vino cry out in bOyish arrogance, or in
foolish over.esiimstion of themselves,
''either everything or nothing"
Parson BrownloW hss declared very en-
phstically in favor Of the denomination Of
Mr.. Lincoln.
The st. Louis Democrat distinctly states
ia late issue that neither Lincoln nor
Fremont is the first choice Of the Radicals
Of that community. Who isl

The Democratic Club Of Boston, at 6
regular meeting on the 18th inst, voted
that the thanks Of thst organization bt
"tendered to the Hon. Alexander Long, Of
Ohio, for his able, manly, and truthful ex
position, in Congress, Of the deplorsblr
condition Of our country, and for present
ing to the people the true issue, that they
may preserve their constitutional hber
ties" Thus the Democratic leaders con
tinue to array themselves on the disuniOI
platform.
Every arrangement is now being mad
for securing the Pennsylvania soldiers thr
right to vote. Both branches Of the Legis

providing for q special election through

whether the proposed amendment to tb,
