giving up the Union.
There has been much impuening of
motives and heated controversy as to the
proper means and best M ode of advanc-
ing the Union cause. but in the distinct
issue of Union or no Union the politicians
have shown their instructive knowledge
that there is no diversity among the
people. In affording the People fair
opportunity of show ing one to another
and to the world this frmness and una.
nimity of purpose. the election has been
of vast value to the nstional cause.
The election has exhibited another fact
not less valuable to be known-the fact
that we do not approach exhaustion in
the most important branch Of the national
resources. that Of living men. While it
is melancholy to reflect that the war has
6llsd 20 many graves and carried mourn
ing to so many hearts, it is some relief to
know that. compared with the surviving,
the fallen have been 60 few. While
corps. and divisions, and brigades, and
regiments have formed. and fought. and
dwindlsd. and gone out Of existence, q
great majority of the men who composed
them are still living. The same is true
of the naval service. The election returns
prove this. So many voters could not

What policy Mr. Fessenden will pursue
now That the responsibility Of the Treasury

money by loans. MI. Chase has insisted TINT
Federal bonds should not be sold forless than

to be sold for Whatever they may fetch, be
the came more or less. In this respect his
views meet with hearty backing from all the
money epeculators in New York and out
OF It.
Mr.. Feescndcn opposed at every step tho

often as they passed the House.. On this,
