Tho national Union PARTY.

The National Republican,, of Wash
ington City, one OF the Presidents
organs, satirizes quito bitterly the de-
ceit that was practiced by tho democrats
in the late elections under the name.
when 1t suited their purposes, of the
''NatiOnal Union party" We quote
from It's remarks, as follows:
s'The National Union party,' organ.
lied at Philadelphia, has not appeared.
MS an organization, in any State, al
either of tho elections referred to.
''Whose fault is this2 Not THE
PRESIDENTS surely. Let the National
Union Executive COMMITTEE answer
the question.
cit is very clear to all who under
stand the political situation, that had
Gen. Dix been nominated for Governor
of New York, he would have been
elected on the 9Th instant by more than
twenty thousand majority. Bad faith
defeated him, and defeat follows the
treaChery.
The Democratic party, as such, has
dug It's own grave, and we advise its,
leaders to bury the remains forever
and start anew with legitimate mate.

A spirited meeting WIS held at the
Union headquarters, corner Market and
Monroe, last Saturday night. The club
was reorganized on permanent basis
and the good work of preparation for
the charter election in January formal
ly commenced. 1t was resolved to hold
club meetings twice week, every
Wednesday and Saturday nights, and
TO make these meetings as attractive as
possible to every Union man in the city.
We have seldom seen so.much enthu-
siasm following the close of long and
hard fought campaign, as was evinced
at the club room and Is to be found
every day on the streets among the
loyal rank and file. The figures show
that a very small gain from the copper
heads will give us the city. Our heavy
gains were all in the city at the late
election. It Is much easier task to
undertake TO carry the January cleo
ton than it was three months ago TO
undertake to reduce the Copperhead
majority in the county from 344 to $50.
1t is known by actual count that our
ticket was many votes stronger than
the poll in the city, and it is be-
lisved that n very slight inroad upon
the strength of the enemy, counting as
it does double in every instance, will
suffice 10 gIVe US success. So that
there is every encouragement that n
minority could possibly have to enter
upon the work Of reducing the majori-
ty against them.
This view Of tho situation presents
itself 10 every earnest and rejecting
Union man, and hence the universal
spirit and determination that we see
thus early evinced. We are glad to
find the old campaign fires brightly
burning 30 soon again. It is an omen
of success. "By that sign we shall
conquer"

GEN. SHERMAN ON BRAdaARTs.-
General Sherman is rather hard on a
certain class of HEROES" who boast in
public places of their achievements in
the war against the rebellion. Hesays:
It is amusing to observe how brave and
firm men become when all danger is
past. have noticed on the fields
of battle that brave mon never insult
the captured or mutilate the dead; but
the towards and braggarts always do.
Now, when the rebellion in our land is
dead, many Falstaffs appear to brand
ish the evidence of theirValor and seek
to win applause and Inappropriate hon
ors for deeds that were never done.

Then ana Now.

On the 22nd Of February last Mr..
Johnson made his first remarkable
Presidential stump speech, in which he
arralgned Stevens, Sumner, Forney and
Others, as traitors and factionists. That
Rame night Mr.. Seward made n speech
in Cooper Institutelat Now York city, to
an immense audience. The next day,
the 23rd, the following dispatches were
Sent from that city to the President:
NEW YORK, Feb. q, 1865.

DEAR PRESIDENT: 1t is NIL right and
all safe. Tho Union Is restored and tho
country safe. Your speech is trium-
phnnt and the country Will be happy.
come back on Monday.
Mr.. Seward to an officer of the Gov.
Ornment says, under date OF February
23rd:
"All riaht-the word is done. The
country Is safe. The Administration is
established. Its enemies are nowhere.
Look for mo on Monday, unless you
hear that 1 come sooner.
w. H. SEWARD"
NEw York CRY, Feb. %, 1866.
HIS EZrccIency AndrctO johnson, I'rcsi-
dent Of tho United States:
thank you from my whole grateful
heart for your speech OF yesterday. The
Union is now fixed fact.
THuRLow WEED.
NEW YORK, Feb. q, 1866.
President johnson:
Meeting is magnificent success. I'm
mediate and enthusiastic popular sem
timcnt here Is overwhelmingly with
you. II. j. RAYMOND.
Read by the light of succeeding
events, especially the late elections, the
above dispatches seem very weak and
awkward. 1t is perhaps not fair that
we should judge them as they stand
now, disconnected from their proper
and immediate surroundings; but still
they serve to show us how very small
and even contemplate is the foresight
that admitted ability and great
experience can bring to bear
upon coming events. We cannot
help recalling the remark of
Rousseau that I'there is no such
thing as political prcscience," that "the
unforeseen governs" that "the springs
which control human affairs arc in
many cases too deep and too minute
and in all cases too manifold, too COM
pick, and too variable, to make it pos
sible for the human intellect to deter
mine in advance their combined opera
tion." These remarks of Rousseau
were true OF France during the stormy
portion of her history, as they have
been true OF tho whole continent of Eu-
rope very lately, and they are not less
applicable to our own situation. There
never was a time whom political pro-
phet was OfsO little account, or when
the finesse of men like Messrs. Seward,
Weed and Raymond, was held in such
small consideration. The grOat events
which are in reserve are rs inscrutable
AS they are inevitable. We should
rather take the instincts of plain peo-
pie like our West virginians, who have
voted uniformly right throughout the
war and since, as events have shown,
than all the professional Microscopy of
even astuto politicians.

.rom q Kels1ura Rrnld.


Our neighbor down street complains
that two or three illegal votes were cast
for the candidates Of the Union party
In this county at the last election by
students at Bethany: while the INTEL
LIoENCRR at Wheeling Is making like
complaint against Mayor Sweeney for
releasing three city jail birds in order
specially that they might vote for The
rebel sympathizers. We don't pretend
to say whether either or both Of the
charges are true or false but assam.
ing that both are true, It shows
in a striking light, the characl
and the Conservative Rebel party.
No one would think of EoiSr
to a college mot at least to Bethany
college as nOV constituted) for Rebel
voters; nor would any one be likely to
visit a jail or a pehitentiary tor Union
voters. The requisite varieties of peo-
pie do not naturally gravitate in that
way; consequently, we incline to think
that Il illegal votes have really been
polled from the constitutions named. thew
nave been polled in the direction
charged and may be allowed to offset.
Inc charge against Mayor Sweeney
OF releasing prisoners from the infl
without trlal, in order that thew might
vote the rebel ticket, at Wheeling. has
been seriously made and can. We he
llere, be sustained. The Bethanv
charge Is believed to have no fountlS-
ton save in the head Of our contempo-
r0ry.

BLOOD WILL TELL.-wherever there

Maryland, the Radicals arc unsucceSs-
ful.-RichhRond Dispatch.
We presume from the above that we
are to understand that generally speak
ing the people of West Virginia have
no southern blood" in their veins.
We should also infer that in New
York, especially in the district that
elected John MOrrissey and Fernando
Wood, much southern blood is in cir
culation. Wheeling, too, can, by this
test, assume to be the bloOded region OF
our State, always excepting, OF course,
Wetzel county, the home OF that blood
ed and bloody statesman, Chevalier
Leonard s. Hall, late OF the Confed-
eracy.

Hancock. brooke and OHIO Counties.

Hancock. Brooke and Ohio Counties.
The Wellsburg Herald moralizes over
the reversed political positions of these
three counties. The time was when the
last named was the stronghold of the
Wing party, and when it took her large
Wing majority to overcome the Demo-
cratic vote of Brooke and Hancock in u
Senatorial contest. Now the ancient
status is directly reversed. The two
upper counties "give handsome ma
"Jorities in favor of progress, loyal
"ty and humanity" while "the latter
''gives n small majority in favor of the
conservatism Of old errors, OF treason,
and human debasement." The Herald
accounts for this change upon some
what curious principle of human ma
ture. We quote its theories as follows:
Can this be accounted for by the cor
ruptiOn that engenders in large places,
or Is 1t the result of other causes? Pos
sibly n clue can be found in a certain
weakness of human nature displayed
in the case of our estimable President
johnson. How easily the democratic
tailor became a disgusting tOady to
those whom he envied and hated in his
obScurity, SO soon as the southern
high-borns, in his elevation, conde-
scended to or were compelled by cir
cumstances to tlatter him with their
patronage. So it mny possibly be with
the purse proud parvenus of Ohio
county.
The old line Wings had about them
n flavor of aristocracy, born of slavery;
and Democrats aspiring to social posi-
ton, adhere to them because the assOci-
alton seems to elevate them. Such n
combination, of course, gives MAORI
ty. The Wings in the outcome, get the
offices, the Democrats secure their SO.
Cial position.
The fact of a very great change exists,
and the fact seems further to appear
that such changes are more usual in
large towns than in rural districts.
The philosopher may draw his own
conclusions.

Scene at the Death Red of BLH. Lincoln.
AT Carlisle, Pa, recently, the Presby-
terrain Synods of the Old and New
Schools being in session ut the same
place, the two bodies met in COM
munion with great harmony. Rev. DIR.
Gurley, pastor of the church in Wash
ington which President Lincoln usual
ly attended, in speech Mt the table,
gave the following narrative, which has
never before been made public:
'When summoned ON that sad night
to tho death bed of President Lincoln.
L entered the room fifteen or twenty
minutes before his departure. All pres.
ent were gathered auXiously around
him, waiting 10 catch his last breath.
The physician, with one hand upon the
pulse OF the dying man, and the other
hand laid upon his heart, was intGntly
watching for the moment when life
should cease.
"He fingered longer than we had ex-
pected. At last the physician said {:
He Is gone; no is dead.'
"rhen 1 solemnly believe that for
four or five minutes there was not the
slightest noise or movement in that aw-
full presence. We all stood transfixed
in our positions, speechless, breathless,
around the dead body OF that great and
good man.
"At length the Secretary ofwar, who
was standing Mt my left, broke the 81
lenco and said, doctor, Will you say
anythinG2' replied, Il will spenk to
God.' Said he, DO it just now.'
And there, by the side of our fallen
chief, God put it into my heart to utter
this petition, that from that hour we
and the whole nation might become
more than ever united in our devotion
to the cause OF our beloved, imperilled
country.
when I ceased, there arose from the
spontaneous Amen.
"And has not the whole heart of the
whole loyal nation responded tAmen?'
WAS not that prayer, there offered,
responded to in n most remarkable
manner? Whom in our history have
the people of this land been found more
closely bound together in purpose and
heart than when the telegraphiO wires
bore all over the country the sad tidings
that President Lincoln was deadGn
