TEE UNITY OF TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

| AA>sS .
Since the result of the action of tn
Republicans in New York, Massachusett
and Virginia it is evident that our friend
in those States mean business, and intens
to win in the contest Of tee present pc
litioal campaign.
That there will be ent;Ie harmony il
the Republican ranks for the sake of vic
tory over the common enemy in thos'
States, where heretofore there have beer
distracting divisions, is now certain from
tie judicious course which las been pur
sued by the true friends Of tie Repub
lican cause and the administration. Thu
able and admirable attitude which has
been taken by Mr.. Horace Greeley aftel
the proceedings Of the convention held a,
| Syracuse last week is well calculated to
inspire tie brightest hopes for the success
OF the Republican ticket in New York, and
can not be without its influence upon the
elections in the other States where cleo
tons are yet to lie held this fall. It will
| be observed from the manifesto issued by
Mr.. Greeley to his friends, who presented
themselves as contestants il the New York
convention, where they were defeated,
that he gives cordial support to the
ticket nominated at that convention, and
heartily approves Of tie resolutions
adopted by that body, and, in reference
to the whole matter, says:
We accept the ticket nominated at SYRIA
cuse: and pledge to lis support that solid
three -fOurt!ls OF the entire Republican vote
Of this city New York, whose delegates
were insultingly driven from the convention.
We accept the miracle of c!umsiness called
the platform; and bow to the monstrous
State Committee. Come what may. We must
carry New York for honest government and
against thieves. Let the new made oracles
OF the Republican patty, who yesterday
stru.ted their brief hour on tle stage ut
Syracuse. enjoy their fleeing triumph; We
have nobler work on hand.
Such is the counsel which the old war
horse Of Republicanism gives to ali good
Republicans in his own State. and he also
means it to be considered by the disaf-
fected ones of other States as we'll.
With the distracted and divided condi-
ton OF our common foe, We can not afford
to have chickering's and squabbles among
ourselves to endanger our success. There
never was better opportunity than now
presented in New York to bring all differ
ences to final end, in order that the Re-
publican party shall present united front
in this fall campaign, and win a victory
which will be prelude to the greater and
more important one Of 1872.
The developments of the terrible rot
tenness and iniqui.y Of the Democracy in
what was considered their stronghold,
New York, has proved to be of incalcula-
Die service to our cause, and it insures US
he vote Of State that heretofore has |
been conceded to the opposition. Vast
numbers of the Democratic voters,
specially the Germans, will now either
.bstain from voting, or will vote the Re-
publican ticket soiid il tie November
lection il New York, and tie rroLabili-
les are now that this vote will be with US
q the election Of 1872 Massachusetts is
ow a unit, and so, also, is Virginia. Let
hese examples Of Cancellation and for
SO nobly set by Republican
1ends, be emulated by the Republicans
t our State, and let Us all come together
Ike brethrrn in unity, and with Henry C.
'armoth as our leader, We shall receive
be congratulations of friends in all parts
{ the Union, and set at rest all the ex-
ectations of Democratic harpies who
oped to share tie spoils OF Office through
istractiou in our own rank;
