Union, let them 90 without serious oQposi-

Press, Chicago Tribune and other papers,
took u different position, and expressed
the true constitutional doctrine. and the
people believed them and the Union was
saved. Again. thousands OF men who Fare
acting with the Republican party TO day,
are there because they find that Mr.. Greeley
is not ;he representative idea OF the patty,
and that his peculiar views are only accep-
table TO a portion of the party, OF whose
doctrines he is a prominent exponent. The
result is healthy, and is fell in the State OF
New York aud elsewhere. and men OF more
conservative views lind their sympathiss and
opinions expressed in other organs.
So in regard to the new paper in Detroit.
