Unity of the Republican Party.
From the New Orleans RepubK,

From the New Orleans Republican,
we take this article:
Since the result of the action of the
Republicans in New York, Massaehu
sets and Virginia, it is evident that
our friends in those States mean bus
mess, and intend to win in the contest
of the present political campaign.
That there will be entire harmony
in the Republican ranks for the sake
OF victory over the common enemy i'll
those States, where heretofore there
have been distracting divisions, isnow
certain from the judicious course that
has been pursued by the true friends
of the Republican cause and the ad-
ministration. The able and admirable
attitude which has been taken by Mr..
Horace Greeley after the proceedings
of the convention held at Syracuse
week before last, is well calculated to
inspire the brightest hopes for the
success of the Republican ticket in
New York, and cannot be without its
influence upon the elections in the
other States where elections are to be
held this fall. 1t will be observed from
the manifesto issued by Mr.. Greeley
10 his friends, who presented them
selves as contestants i'll the New York
convention, where they were defeated,
that he gives cordial support to the
ticket nominated at that convention,
and heartily approves of the res0lu-
tions adopted by that body, and, i'll
reference to the whole matter, says:
We accept the ticket nominated at Syra-
cuse: and pledge to its support that solid
three-fourths of the entire Republican vote
of this city New York;, whose delegates
were insultingly driven from the convention.
We accept the miracle of clur1isiness called
the platform; and bow to the mon strous
State Committee Come what may, we mast
carry New York for honest government and
against thieves Let the new made oraeles OF
the Republican party, who yesterday strut
led thei1 brief hour ON the stage at Syracuse,
enjoy their tieeting triumph; we have nobler
work on hand.
Such is the counsel which the old
war-horse of Republicanism gives to
all good Republicans in his own State,
and he also means it to be considered
by the disaffeeted ones of other States
as well.
With the distracted and divided
condition of our common foe, we can
not afford to have chickering's and
squabbles among ourselves to endan-
ger our success. There never was IL
better opportunity than now presented
in New York to bring all differences
to final end in order that the Repflb-
lican party shall present a united front
in this fall campaign, and win a vie
tory which will be a prelude to the
greater and more important one of
1872.
The developments of the terrible
rottenness and lniquity Of the Demoe-
racy in what was considered their
stronghold, New York, has proved to
be of incalculable service to our cause,
and it insures us the vote of a State
that has heretofore been conceded to
the opposition. Vast numbers of the
Democratic voters, especially the Ger
mans, will now either abstain from
voting, or will vote the Republican
ticket solid in the November election
in New York, and the probabilities
are now that this vote will be with rs
in 1872. Massachusetts, is now a unit,
and so, also, is Virginia, Let these
examples of coneiliation and forbear-
ance, SO nobly set by our Republican
friends, be em1llated by the Republic
cans of our own State, and let us all
come together like brethren in unity,
and with Henry C. Warmoth as our
leader, we shall receive the congratu
lations of friends in all parts of the
Union, and set at rest all the expeeta-
tions of Democratic harpies who hope
to share the spoils of Office through
| distraction in our own ranks.
