The Union Of all patriotic men in ell psris
Of tbs country in support e the Presidents
20 icy - now That Is peculiarly needed II
order 70 give Is immediate End complete
success. success Is the great para
N unit want o. the country, becau q IL VIII
bring WITH il, soooer or LATER, every other
governmeutai good.
That policy l. the U3ion policy, and its
opposite or radical programme o. the dis
uaiou policy. The Advocates Of the latter
have ihe shameless elront=ry 10 t4Ee m
ground that sec ssion was q success, and
the Union has indeed oeen dissolved. They
declare the Stat s Lately IN revol n be on
Q. the Union, and conquered provinces.
Ihey should g ant make their uCknOwi
eugmcnts TO Shdell, khett, TOombs, Benja-
mln, eic-, and ask their forgiveness, since
u the radicals sre right in their theory toe |
secessionists were, for they sgree that the /
seeded States weutout Of the Onion, though
we don't know that Rhett, etc, contend that
the said States are still cut Of i. We don'E !
know hat the old secessionists are now az
radical as the radicals are. II is probable
that the secession lesders-sueh as are still
aliye-hHve learned something, while the
radicals haven't.
1t is quite time for all patriotic men 70
drop ali mere technical party names by
which they were formerly distinguished,
dlA - EAAF upon inc ILlou p4aAloEm
around the President, the acknowledged
leader Of the great and only Union Party Of
the country in opposition 10 the Disunion
Party Of the country, headed and led by
such men as Stevens and Sumner. There
is no other hope for the salvation either Of
the Constitution OF the Union, none other
for permanent peace, liberty, and civil
rights.
The Union men of the United States,
without distinction OF patty, are settling
down into this firm conviction-that there
Il no hope for the land but in the pushing
on to completion and final victory Of the
measures the President has adopted for the
pacihcation Of the Republic
Senator Doolittle, OF Wisconsin, on Thurs
day led of in the Senate in defense OF those
measures and Of the true theory Of the
Union, Of which We had q synopsis yester-
day by telegraph. Senator DOOiittle Is tech
nicslIy a Republican. On the other, or
what IS known as the Democratic side, we
have equally good evidence that the resto
ration policy Of the President is cordially
sustained. Ex-senator W. A. Richardson,
Of Illinois, has just written q letter strong
ly ndorsingt that policy. Ex-senator Rich
ardson is one Of the acknowledged leaders
Of the true Democracy Of the country
Hon. S. S. Cox, q brilliant and versatile
Democrat, lately Of Ohio, has just made a
HDttGns IN WHICH Ne GUTulaAAy hAeAaNn NV
President, and calls upon the true Democra-
cy to rally to his support. Geo. 4. Curtis, Of
New York, John Van Buren,, and many
other lights Of Democracy, take the same
position.
Whea we turn to the South, we find all
the Old-line Wings and Union Democrat,
like stephens, sharkey, Hersehel v. John
son, Governor Charles J. jenkins, eX-Gov-
ernor B.. F. Perry, John Forsyth, ex-MinIs-
- - 49,. L.w---n. N WnfLaw ~
Florida Ex-Governor Holden and Governor
Worth, Of North Carolina John NJ. Bolts,
our own Senator Guthrie, and a host Of 9TH

, great, glorious Union platform, coming up
energeucally to the support Of Andrew
Johnson's administration. We do not say
that they al sgres in every particular
This II would be absurd 10 expect, aud Il
+ quite unnecessary. But they support the
Pre- idunt's plaa in the main as upon the
