The Latest Recruits to the ATniy OF
Gen. Grant.

| The National Union, published at Cincinnati,
| by Enos B. Reed Esq, hitherto independent in
| politics has hoisted the standard of Grant and
Colfax. In the last issue Mr.. Reed thus defines
| his position ave have endeavored since we
| started the National Union 10 observe a strict
| impartiality in regard to political matters, but
are now unable to do so. We look upon tte
the democracy. We opposed the South during
the war, and we cannot affiliate with the rebel:
now who declare that they are only laboring fol
the triumph of the South over the North. and
to undo all that four years, terrible war accom-
plished. We never affiliate with such men
as Brick Pomeroy and Wade Hampton, repre-
sentative types of Northern traitors and Southern
| rebels. We do not fight with Frank Blair in bis
proposed revolutionary project. Henceforth we
battle for Grant and Colfax. but shall always
speak our mind freely concerning all political
parties. We are neither hide-bound nor party
bound, but shall ever be found advocating those
men and measures which we believe the best tend
to promote the inte rests of the entire country"
