POLITICAL PROSPECTS.

How shall we vote in the autumn elec-
tions Every honest man will ask himself
this question, and he will answer itby de-
termining to which party, in so import
ant national crisis as this, political pow
er ought to be intrusted. For although
no issue is as yet distinctly made, a very
grave issue soon will be, that of reorgan-
ization-and he must look to the antece-
dents and composition of parties to infer
what their probable action will be.
The Union party comprises the great
body Of enlightened American citizens who
have always faithfully striven for greater
Justice, for universal liberty regulated by
law, and for freedom of speech and the
press every W here in the country. They
have uufalteringly asserted the rights of
the whole people against privilege and ar
istoclacy in every form, and have claimed
fair play for all men, rich or poor, for
eigner, whatever their complexion and
condition, and 10 that end have been con-
stantly jealous for popular education and
every method of enlishtment. They
hold that the Constitution is not com
pact between sovereign governments, but
is fundamental national law established
by the people of the United States; and
that the Union is not a confederacy but
a nation. They believe that this National
Government is supreme, that the States
