The Approaching Election.

| Heretofore we offered some considerations
why the Union party, which has been polite
of great good to the country should not be dis
solved, but on the contrary be thoroughly
consolidated and prepared for united action
at the approaching election in the support of
worthy men to offices of public trust; In ad-
dition to our former suggestions in this con-
nection, we further remark, that matters have
transpired since our former reference to this
subject, which render more perfect union
of the p,rty necessary, if such thing be pos
sibe, than has existed at any previous time;
we allude to the mistaken, policy and the ter.
giversations of those high in power, who have
been placed there by the Union party, who
should our apprehcnslons be realized, are cap
able Of inaicting much injury on the country,
should they not be resisted as unit by those
who placed them in authority, and are there
fore in measure responsible for their mis-
takes Tn this respect the success Of our
ticket both State, District. and County, is .
matter of the highest Importance, in order to
conserve the public welfare, should such un-
toward results ensue. but which we still hope
will be obviated by further REELECTION and
their own innate good sense. ~' .'~ Geel~
The platform announcing the policy and
principles Of the Union party of Ohio which
is repetition of former declarations of prin-
ciples, and are responded to by oil loyal men
throughout the North and the West, we re
publish to-day, which we trust will be read
with much care, and contrasted with the thing
called Democratic platform, which is for
ever effervesing and changing as thong bell
ing in cauldron, bringing to the surface all
which is offensive and censurable. a., t..tp
Our flag under which we have been sue
cessful, and hope hereafter and evermore to
triumph, is the one planted on the citidal Of
our country by its founders; is the one under
the folds of which they triumphed over the
British Lion and British Tyranny-is the
same under which Sherman and his legions
marched from the Mississippi to the Atlantic,
and under which Gen. Grant subjugated the
rebellion at Richmond, and under which the
country must finally triumph in civil point
Of view in final blow at rebellion, though
the "hydra headed monster" ever vacilating
between open rebellion and civil revolution
shall attempt to stay its progress.

of the loyal people of the country, on the
State ticket, the District ticket for Senator
and Judge Of the Common Pleas Court, and
on the County ticket for Representative and
County officers, will be found at the head o
the columns Of our paper where they will re-
main until the people shall decide the qualif
cations and the merits aseribcd to them. As
to the probable result Of the pending election
Throughout the State, the District and tn,
County; no one untinctured with insanity cal
hesitate to doubt the return Of the goed,true ant
loyal men selected: no resistance to the cleo
ton of our candidates ir the District ant
County by opposing candidates being ye
made public, it is apparent that such must b.
the opinion of our opponents, though the.
may as final dodge make some show of re
: sistancc at the last, moment Of the coming
election. Therefore however promising th'
aspect may be of the election Of loyal men
it still behooves the good people to be watch
fal and untiring in their labors in this be
half until the goal shall have been fiinall
reached and the important victory be won AM
placed on record Ia hearty union in 1855
. may be of the first importance, and decisiv
of al, which even nowis imposing and looming
up like great cloud, casting its shadow
over the future .' n!F
