Never for the Union.

If we look over The history OF the past,
(says the Milwaukee News we shall find
that the radical politicians Of the north
were never for the Union. They opposed
the Union thirty years ago under the lead
of GARRISON and PHILLIPS They oppos
ed the Union twenty years ago under The
lead of CHASE aud HALE. They opposed
the Union ten years ago under the lead of
JoHN BRowN Five years ago, old Ben.
WADE declared tha, the Union was "not
worth rush without little blood let
ting" Four years ago they alleged that
the Union could not be preserved without
war. Three years ago they arrived at the
conclusion that the Union was worth
nothing without the conquest of one half
the states by the other half aud the extir-
patton of slavery by military force. Two
years ago they opposed the restoration Of
the Union by refusing to negotiate for the
surrender Of the rebel army and the res
,oration Of peace upon the basis Of the
constitution. One year ago they opposed
the restoration Of the Union unless their
party platform should be engrafted upon
the constitution of the United States
Now they oppose the restoration of the
Union, unless all the negroes are made
white men. And they will not pledge
themselves to support the Union when
that is done unless the constitution is
superseded by freedmen's bureau. or
some other machine for the utter des,ruc
tion Of self. government in the states.
In brief, these men are never for the
Union, except upon impractlcable and i'm
possible conditions. They are traditional
Union haters and the unwavsring friends
of arbitrary government. They canho. be
satisfied except by the subversion Of the
constitution and the annihilation of all
Tree governments in the land. There is
not one of the leaders to-day, who could
be induced 20 name any conditions upoL
which he would assent ip good faith 10
The complete restoration o. the states to
their original relations.
Col. Bowers The death of Colonel
BowERs, Of Gen. GRANTS staff, an account
of which will be found elsewhere, is a
source Of general sorrow and regret
throughout the country. A special dis
patch from Washington says:
He entered the army at the beginning
of the war. from Mount Carroll, Illinois
as lieutenant, and has been on the staff
Of Gen. Grant since the summer of 1861, 4,
rising bv his own merits to the rank be
has held for the last half year. The lieu
tenant general relied on bis good sense
and wise discretion as much perhaps as
on that Of anv other member Of his staff.
and he unquestionably knew more about
the history Of Gen. Grants campaigns
than any other person. He stood high in
social circles, and was universally respect
ed by all military men. He was unmar>
ried, and was about 81 years Of age.
