TIVE CAMPAIGN.

lions ON ClIuGE SlASf
the issues are to be presented to the peo-
pie from press and forum on an already
determined platform of principles, And
now inquiring: What of the hour' we
find stronger indications than were ever
afforded, so early in the canvass, ofa Union
yic,ory-and a Union victory OF UMPIRE
cedently large msjorities. II you VIII
look for the evidence of strong Union sem
timent, and its advance in conversions,
YOU will find abundant signs of a royal
triumph for the Union organization IN
| November next. Never before has the
main issue been so simple and clear nor
has it ever happened that the Importance
of the contest was more marked BY dan
gers IN defeat threatened, and vast Ma
tional and State advantages, in success
assured. Among the "proofs Of
prophecy" that may now be congratu-
lated upon, at the beginning Of the can
vass, is the fact that the journals Of this
State are, with a single exception, earnest
in the advocacy of the principles that are
certain to be laid down in the State Con-
vention's officially proclaimed creed. In
no instance is there hesitation or luke
warmness. Much less do we witness, as
we have heretofore, any professedly Union
journal engaged in advising Demo
Gratis how best TO nanGuvre for q VIC
tory; and so furnishing aid and comfort to
the enemy, and giving reason to expect
that a detection to our cause is likely to
occur in the form of a newspaper flop.
All now stand agreed upon the Constitu-
tional Amendment as the grand plank in
the party's platform. This is a significant
and cheering fact, which may probably
be considered by the wavering, which
may be remarked with a qualification that
here-and there exhibited errors and in
frmities Of temper cannot abate.
The present call upon citizens is not
merely for love of Country-though the
peril Of anarchy be at our very doors
you are solicited and eonjured by the love
of freedom in this country. The Unity
of the Nation may have been established
beyond the power Of any nationally ap-
pretended revolt to break or impair, or in
any serious degree temporarily disturb;
the fact that this is a Nation may be
irreversibly determined. Even so, there
comes the q~uestion-all the more impress
sive. because Of thorough National vim
dication. Shall Freedom, or shall the
Spirit Of caste bear rule in this land ;
Not less grave and momentous is the is
sue. If traitors are admitted to seats in
Congress, there will not be a civilized Ma
ton on the face Of the earth that will
have less OF real freedom afforded the
humber classes than will be conceded in
these United States, within ten years
time. The progress of civilization will be
checked in America, and Time will strike
the hours of the Dark Ages on this very
Continent. Barbarism will again be term
ed "chivalry," aye, authoritatively or
" officially" proclaimed as Justice" "in-
alienable right" under the folds Of the
Stars and Stripes displayed from Capitols
and Court Houses. All the considerations
that moved US to duty in the Union ranks
during the war, are now redoubled in
force by the exigencies Of the hour. The
President elected by the loyal people Of
the Nation, has developed his determine
ton TO break down the Union party and
secure the admission of Jef's comrades
into the Federal council chambers. II he
and those associated with him succeed,
Tyranny will triumph at once in " eleven
States" and acknowledgements q new
civil war is forthwith inaugurated-Lib-
erty will cease to be anything more than
a name for mockery and scofing in the
American Republic"
The vote Of Nevada, her unfinching
adherence to the Union party principles, is
of so much consequence, that with greater
readiness and more intense zeal than ever
before we propose to enter the canvas,
and fight it GU on the LIBERTY LINE.
The Union ticket, composed of men true
to principles, will receive u hearty and
unAagging support; and such are the
mighty matters involved in the election Of
the right kind Of men to either House of
Congress, that with "staunch and true" can
dida,es for those positions, we should even
be willing to overlook any imperfections
that possibly may be noticeable in the mi
nor candidacies;-preferring to have good
men from Nevada in Congress, even if we
are involved into voting for a nominee for
State Printer who would be willing to sell
the influence Of his paper in time Of civil
wal to the enemies Of our country, pro-
vided he could obtain a cheap opportunity
for so doing.
