TIE SITUATION.

TO breaking up OF the Union organization.
We are well satisHed-and we have taken
great pains to thoroughly inform our
selves in the premises-that the Union
party of Storey county cannot be dis
rupted by the efforts of those creatures
who, in the language Of the Springfield
Republicans, have a secret consciousness
that they would sink into their original
and proper insigniscance, if the country
were allowed to resume its normal po.
si;ion. It has been for SOM time,a noted
fact. that the majority Of the officers and
soldiers who were actually and directly
engaged in the work Of putting down the
rebellion are far more disposed to leniency
on the part Of the Government than are
the camp followers and the suffers clerks.
So we find that the majority Of original
Union men, those who have been con-
sistent and unwavering supporters Of
Lincoln's Administration, are not in q
haste to make iron bedsteads for the sub
jugated foes Of the Nation.
OF course. Horace Greedy, who advo-
Gated secession in 1901, and advised
giving up the contest on several occasions
during the war. is ADVANTAGEOUS for a
split and segregation in the Union organi.
ration. And at this present time a ma
jority Of Unionisss in the East may be
under the impression that q separation on
the President and Congressional fight is
inevitable. in the ranks of the party. But
all that will soon be changed. When we
see such men Is William Cullen Bryant, q
very Patriarch of Freedom, whose hymns
for liberty are sung IN every civilized
nation. who has been q steadfast foe to
slavery and all its adjuucts, when We see
such men as Henry Ward Beecher, David
Dudley Field. and Sam. Bowles taking a
arm stand against a division on any such
ground as has been indicated, we know
that the - first excitement will soon one
down into q calm resolution to prevent a
party ruin on inadequate cause. Horace
Greeley. who forced Gum. Blair and old
Bates into Lincoln's Cabinet-the only
bilks that got 4 seat in that Council
who docsn', want JEFF. Davis hung, is the
leader of the d~isorganizers in the East.
The New York Herald and Tribune say, in
concert, the Union party is irreparably
sundered in twain. The New York Time,
and Erenine Post say it is not 50.
Our Representative in Congress, a sensi-
BILE and a thorough Union man, has con-
fessed his inability to abide the radical
ism of the chief takers on the Congress
sional foor; though himself esteemed a
radical of radicals" in the days that tried
Unionism. Nye, though differing from
the President. speaks with moderation.
and BY no means in,ima,es a belief in the
necessity for a division Of our party, on
the issues he discusses. We don't pro-
fess TO know how Stewart does stand.
Who knows?
OF the papers in this State, only W
dailies-,he Entupriss and Carton appeal
are apparently anxious for calling a
roll for registering and excluding Union
men on a new shibboleth. We all know
what the Enterprise is: how for many
weeks in the early part OF every election
season it is very groSSy on its pins. and
all its readers are dubious As to lss politics
for the term. We all know Of its practice
of bidding for a Copperhead purchase;
and We know how il EFFORTS from the
Central Committees with its cxorbitant
printing bills. We can judge what intu-
ence i, has, when the Copperheads prefer
to pay many thousands TO start Q new
organ Of their own rather than obtain its
favor for less than a single thousand. or
course, a mash up in the Union party
would suit the schemes Of that principle

a very small clique Of mutual admira-
tionists : and Is thoroughly distrustcd and
despised. for its recent efforts to disor-
ganize the party. BY a vast majority OF the
Union men a, the capital. Even its CO.

party disruption. the Double Ads, has moi

Of Nevada. is strong aud u~nanswerable in
its argument. illustrating the unworthi-
ness OF all endeavors to wreck the Union
party, because Of President Johnson's re.
cent veto messages. The RsreiM aud the
News join hands in protesting against and
preventing such a disaster as we have
deprecated. and as the Bntspriss and APP

ends as Congress aims at; but BY a diff
fcrent road or through different plans.
Now. it is quite possible for Congress and
the President 10 have equal right on their
sides as they have respectively equal au-
,horisies. The President may not to-day
sign a new Frecdmsn's Bill. while the
original n has a years lease Of life; he
may veto a " Civil Rights" enactment, on
the ground that negroes and Cinnamon
ought not to be placed on q perfect equal
ity with white men. And Congress may
resolve that no Secesh Representative
shall have q seat in the Capitol building.
So the case is. May not both be doing
right. rhers their authority IL e~oneluIivs;
and does approval Of the effective and
complete action OF both involve an incon-

destroy the unity Of our party:
