STAND TOGETHER. UNION MEN!

STAND TOGETHER. UNION MEN!
The duty of true. unselish Union men
of Nevada, q, this present crisis in polid-
cal affairs. seems to be equally plain and
imperative. The path Of propriety can not
be mistaken, and the obligation to walk
therein is b~ounden. Any and all attempts
to os,racisc men who think this or that
respecting the Presidents policy or the
action Of Congress is, at this time. suicidal
to the Union party and no effort to ex-
clude or ~disparage rank and integrity in
the organization Of those who are for or
against the Executives ve,oes can emen.
ate from a sincere and intelligent lover
Of the country, who has given due refec-
ton to the condition Of National politics.
Blind indeed must that man be, who can
not realize the fact that with the President
kicked clean into the Copperhead party"
the Union organization is certain to be in
a minority, on Congressional representa-.
ton, in lS67-S. Those men who strut
about on their "I.take-the.responsibilisy
stylc."-political hummer falkland are
very ready in their denunciations Of
Unionists who insist on taking q view Of
practical effects, and making serious cal
culations and qualifying action thereon,
are undoubtedly anxious to disrupt and
defeat the party that saved the country.
Their heightened indignation at "go
slow" men Of the old standby order, is
an affectation easily read and explained.
Anarchy in politics, new and extensive
and sudden shiftings, afford the .opportu-
mites" for the creatures who compose this
class Of righteous ranters.
The more We converse among the people
the more are our convictions strengthened
on the truth Of this declaration that the
majority Of Union men h%ereabouts partly
approve and partly disapprove the Presi-
dents action. But here is the vital point
to be noted: that which they disapprove
is OF his course in respect to matters he
can not and does not control. His eau
perauous talks" in his messages are. COM
monty criticized; the first report Of his
22d Of February speech is almost univers-
ally condemned. while the sentiments Of
his speech on that occasion, as revised by
him, are generally approved. The veto of
the Chinamen-equalisy Bill is endorsed by
a very large proportion Of Union men /;
and nothing could be more absurd than
the declarations of the Enterprise to the
contrary. In short, we are enabled to in
form the people Of other portions Of the
State that we believe Storey county folks
are for the most part alike opposed to inn
mediate Congressional admission Of late
rebel States and to the radical bills Of
veto fame.
And in this connection, we remind our
friends ut home. that if the President is
kicked into the Copperhead party" there
is nc State so sure TO be carried TO his
side of the case as Nevada. We have no
votes to throw away; and, while We can
do so with honor, let US coacilla.e as
against a possible day Of division.
The continued successes, the permanen {
enduring triumphs of the Union party are
the results most dear to our heart and
conscience; and in opposition to every
open or covert plan to demoralize the
Party Of Freedom We shall exert every
energy we possess, and make every sacri-
flee consis,en, with ability and the main
t~ainance Of essential articles in the creed.
The platform Of the Baltimore Convention.
aud of the last State Convention Of Neva-
da are sufficiently clear guides to US; and
By their careful re-reading we are sure
every Unionist will see that it is not in
the legitimate province Of any man or set
of men to endeavor to read out Of Union
party communion President Johnson or
his mos, earnest and unqualified support
ers. At the same time, it will occur to
thinking members Of our party, that the
FIST indication of q desire to split up the
organization is naturally anticipated from
the quarters whence bids for Copperhead
utilization and support have habitually
proceeded, even during the tendency Of
the great Civil War. Let the present con-
troversy be among ourselves. It is not a
bitter one, as we conduct it in our daily
walks and conversations with each other.
Venal journals would like to make It ap-
pear tina, you. Sir. and we are at deadly
political odds. Not so. The man Of
our faith, while War was upon US, is not
raging on one side or the other Of the
"Policy" issue If he 10, the major pub
lie opinion notes him as q foolish blabber.
Let US preserve and promote this existing
temper. Union men! it will not answer
with immunity TO divide on the Congress-
ional and Presidential issue. II division
comes, the Union party falls, crumbles in
pieces, is no more. We beseech you IN
t works Of harmony. And damned be
he or they who now seek or improve ad-
vantage for impairing the strength or de-
s,roying the life Of the Union organization,
under the obviously specious pretense Of
purifying the party" Stand BY the old
