The Union party on the other hand, believe, with our President, that only loyal men should Dc admitted to seats in Congress us; that the rebel debt should be repudiated and our debt paid; and that the Union, now re stored ny such a sacrifice, should be estat,lish- ed in justice and liberty. bsAao9 faaDa ss baH si Our enemies recognize the importaanr n .e of the struggle, and are employing every hergy to gain success Those who are acqu ainted with the history of that party cannot easily be surprised at any new development of chi canery, ddplicisy and fraud; but the scSsrupt ion and deceit that are being praessesd gin this campaign surpass anything ever put upon the record. .AttheHery opening of sheYstrug l gle, in5their convention at Hartford, they commenced their s,hypocriticals practices by adopting platform that denied all their for mer r.principles and carefully concealed all cir present sentiments. They. hoped to impose the idea upon the people that they were. the Presidents friends, aud that he .was, theirs. To accomplish this they have not hesitated to manufaeture and circulate the most v,llainous Hfalsehoods. They have also had the brazen timpudence to threaten to remove men in off. eial position who will not bow to Baal.. And they continue to reassert these 'falsehoods and repeat these threats, sssfter their state- ments have time and asagain been proved to be false and their threats to be harmless But they do not sxpend their ingenuity alene upon the fabrication of sfctitious ssconversations'' and the circulation 0f oiDsinodsa tfreatsnings Wicked and dangerous eonspiraciess to carry the election by tscSlenization n''a aandti fraud, have been oohcooted sf Accsants aSof some oi these will ba found eingbaothers columns, which show to what desperate straits Iouriene- mics redriven in'thair ssrugglesfor powefg E Their candidates, against which patriotic men will unite their votes, are generally men ] who havs been we'll known throaghont the war for their hostiiisy a0ths gossrnmeat.g el Eaton, who, although Si lis name is not 'on sheis ticket, ihsf ihsfa the chief aspiraIt, ,wenlan have heard enough and too much. sJassE English voted with valIandig gham, vsorhses and Ben Wood. to defeat asctIofH nEarsAssd 1ss3ssfor enrolling and calling out atthsNationalf forces z, an aot withouts which the ballionscoaldi ney- CT have beeniipnt down ;and sno'ion the resolu.
