vived the hope Of Copperheads and
given much apparent satisfaction to

lied to the rescue and saved the ma.
tion. They are "hopyI and rejoice
in the prospect that this great Union
party will be dissolved. They we'll
know, that "unitod, we stand but,
" divided, We fall. Thereupon they
rejoice with exceeding great JOY.
But Let them remember that at a
time aud under circumstances that
tried mems souls, that same ANDREW

faithful among the faithlsss, denoun-

ty, in this crisis is that Of an army Of
observation. We have a greater in,
t,rest in the complete restoration Of
the Union than we can have In any
other result whatsoever. We are rea .
dy to do or to forebcar anything Of
which the doing or the forbearance
tends to expedite the restoration of
the seeded States to their old rela- :

do not think that total separation
between the President and the party
that elected him would facilitate this
result. His close identification with
the Democratic party would probably
consolidate the disintegrating Repub.
licans and as the Radicals form a
largo majority Of that organization,
II would block restoration for long

two Republican factions may be left
