Another Political Move.


The New York Times of Tuesday contained
the following among its Washington dispatches:
1t is reported that the National Union Club
Of this city and the Democratic National Club
have coalesced, and will in the future work to-
gether for the purpose of carrying the fall cam
paign."
Through the Washington Star of yesterday we
learn that this political combination has been per-
fected The Star says
meeting of the members OF the two Clubs, the
National Uuion and National johnson Club, took
place night before last, and resolution was UNI
animously adopted to consolidate them A new
organization was formed, to exist of the two Ex-
ecuuve Committees, now resolved into one, under
the name. of the National Union Executive Com
mittees to meet at the Office of Hon. Montgomery
Blair, No. 6 Presidents Square, on Thursday
evening, the 18th instant, at 1880.
Hon. Montgomery Blair was President of the
Democratic organization, land Assistant Postmas-
ter General Randall was president Of the Johnson
Club. We presume that Mr.. Blair now becomes
the head of the joint organizations. We rejoice
that the'two representatives wings of the new
party" in Washington have thus publicly an
nounced their consolidation, and believeit will re-
suit in great advantage to the Unconditional I'm
ion party in Maryland. We predict that it will be a
severe blow to the 6 new party here. Govern
or Swann's "friends, )" many of them, will refuse
! to support and encourage a movement at the
| head of which is such a wellknown Democrat as
Mr.. Blair, who holds the position of President of
the anti-Registry law Convention while Mr..
Blair's. Democratic 6 friends, who compose the
majority of the new party" here are decided
| ly adverse to acknowledging Mr. Swami as their
standard-bearer Maryland Democrats, judg-
ing from the tone and sentiment of their presses,
will never forget that gentlemans past political
record, no matter what he may define his g pres
ent political " status to be. The only course
now left for the Union men who have followed
Mr.. Swami, and the office-holders that support
in the attempt to form their g new party" is to
return at once to the ranks of the Unconditional
Union party, which meets in State Convention
on the 18th Of August otherwise they must go
with the Democratic party of the country, and OF
Maryland.
The Convention called by MessrS. Purnell and
Findlay for the 18th of July, and which Mr..
Swami advises his g friends to recognize as an
assemblage of Union men, is in the interest OF
the " new party and of Mr.. Blair. In some of
the counties meetings for the election of delegates
have been called by the committees appointed by
the Ant-Registry Law Convention at which Mr..
Blair presided, and in nearly every instance the
Registry law of the State has been denounced
This State Convention when it meets will no

adopt resolutions favoring its repeal. Messrs.
Purnell and Findlay also recommend their State
Convention to elect delegates to the so-called Ma
toinal Convention, called by Mr.. Blair, Mr.. Ran
dali, and the Democratic members of Congress
to meet in Philadelphia next month. We have
already shown in our columns that this Conven-
ton is intended to resusctate the Democratic par
ty, the following paragraph from the New York
World Of yesterday will give we take it, a correct
idea of the character of men that are being chos-
en- as delegates in the late rebelious States
Accounts from the South show disposition on
the part of the people to send their leading men
to the Philadelphia Convention irrespective Of all
considerations Of their past identification Oih the
rebellion. Thus, amongst the delegates at large
that seem to be nominated by reclamation by
the press of Georgia. are Alexander H. Stephens,
Herschel V. johnson, and Benjamin II. Hill, all
of whom were identified with the Confederate
Government. Governor Orr, of South Carolina
in bis character of Vice president of the National
Union Club of that State, endorses the Conyen-
ton in long address to the people of his State.
What Union man in Maryland wants to atfli-
ate with such traitors as are enumerated in the
above? Let them leave the organization that
proposes such thing -Bditimore american.
