The Union skies are bright. The Chicago
Convention and its outrageous platform are
having good effect upon the sincere friends
of the Union, since it has become evident
that the issue is between the restoration of
the Union by the only practicable way, the
suppression Of the rebellion by force ofarms,
and base, delusive, ignominious peace
The friends of the Union are closing up
their ranks, the disaffected are becoming re-.
copciled, and backsliders are returning to
their f2st love. The Union strength is fast
becoming consolidated for Lincoln and John
son. In fact there is now no doubt but that
the entire unconditiona, Union vote of the
country will be pol!ed solid for the Baltimore
nominees,
