We invite your earnest attention to

Five years ago, the Urion party was
organized on tho all'important but
simple patform'of tho preservation OF
tho Union and Government, To il the
loyal and earnest men Of all parties
everywhere rallied and have ever since
sustained it.
Five years of earnest co operation
and labor together have made us
friends, and taught us many valuable
lessons, which we shall do well never
to forget They have taught us that
violent party spirit and bitter partisan
feeling are great evils, and tend to mis-
lead the judgment; that while we have
the power and patriotism to crush Il
great and wicked rebellion, we need
the exercise OF charity and forbearance
to overcome passions and prejudice
that "ctcrnal vigilance ia the price Of
liberty" that every step of our pro-
gress in the recent great struggle, has
bccn marked by the finger Of Divine
Providence.
Is tho work for With we joined
hands completed ? True, the war is a
an end, and We rejoice at the return o
peace but tho salco political ISSUES
and great national questions are before
the country now, that haTo stirret
mems minds and hearts for scvera
years past; aod pew and import.,n
questions, Involving the credit nnC
character of onr Government, at homo
and abroad must be settled and cstab
lisbcd. For what have the brave mcr
Of our country periied life and fortune
if not that free peoples government
and tho integrity of the Union shoulC
bo mai1talned and porpetuated, ant
tho right and doctrine Of secession for
ever abandoned?
These cannot bo fully accomplished
without the united efforts of the good
the wise, tho loyal and lrue.heartct
men of the State firmly standing togeth
or, as they have done for Ave year
past. Ignoring false issacs. and al
appeals to passion and prejudice, lot u
meet in council, resolved 10 stand b,
the principles which have guided II
during past years OF trial, and nomin
ate for office men who have advocate,
and fought for them and with tn
true spirit Of patriots, and tho Divin
, blessing, success and victory will Il
certainly follow our bluner IN peace Il
they did in war,
