FROM FAYETTE COUNTY.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
As one who has seen some service in the
political arena, desire simply to say that
in my judgment the course Of the UNION
AND AMERICAN in opposing the disOrgani-
zation of the Democratic party is in the
highest degree commendable, and has its
sanction alike in principle, eXpediency and
sound policy. To dissolve the great antag-
nistic party to Radicalism at this time
would be as unwise and hazardous as for
an army to change front in the face of
another. By keeping up its organization
and discipline alone can the Democratic
party in the coming contest make its fun
power felt; and whilst retaining its OTgani-
zation, let it patrOnize and make common
cause with alB regardless of party names
OF political views, who desire the over
throw of RadicaliSm and the restoration Of
constitutional government.
