May tho influence of this day DO felt
throughout the State, may its light be seen
and its power felt from Maine to Texas, yea,
may God grant that it may be beacon

A Now Party Movement.
Upou what appears to bo the most relia-
BILE Information it may be stated that
we'll organized movement is now on foot
looking to the formation of a new party, to
be composed of the conservative and mode
iate men of both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, under the name of the
National Un,on party, aud that at an early
day conference will be held in the city Of
New York as preliminary step. It is also
said that quito large number of prominc cnt
and influential citizens are identified with
the movement, consisting Of the warmest
supporters Of the present Administration,
as we'll as many of those who have hereto
fore been identified with the opposition. i
This statement Wuat not be confounded
with the oauard published few days ogo,

which was alleged to have been hold de-.

prise, none dared disclose word ooncerniag,
it. Without mentioning names, it may be
significant to recall tho fact that during the
past six weeks some Of the most prominent
mon from the East, Wost and South have
vlslted Washington, representing overy
diversity Of public opinion. They did not
oil come 10 body, but separately, and,
without any furry or exctement, quietly
Saw the President and members Of his Cas-
met. Of course, the President cannot be
said to DO In any way party to the enter
prise. His ao,s speak for themselves, and
his promises are few. Whateyer steps,
therefore, are taken in tho premises will be
entirely without direction from him, being
based solely upon his announced policy end
the good Of tho whole people. Subsequent
to the preliminary meeting to be held in
New York, it is proposed 10 hold other
meetings in Southern and Western oities,
and tho Old Line Wings Of the South are
to be specially invited to join tho movement.
