-ANENr the nomination of Hancock,
that excellent journal, the Philadelphia
Record, well says: There is no sectional
issue this time. All the candidates are
of the North, Northy. Hancock fought
the good fight for the Union as long as it
lasted. Garfield fought in the field until
he was called away by his constituents,
and he continued the fight in the forum.
Rally round the flag, boys" is the cry
from Texas to Maine. Not even shrek
ing Kansas can fly the bloody shirt.
That sanguine party emblem rests in a
doshonored grave. The "solid South "
is kindling bonfres and making her can
non thunder over the nomination of one
of the first of Union soldiers for the Pres
ident of the United States Her briga-
diers are Fastening to pledge him their
support.
Can such things be
And overcome us like a summers cloud,
Without our special wonder!
Or have we for ten years past been the
victims of political Authorization Was
the bloody shirt but delusive rag, in
tended to foment the difficulties of which
it was the presaging herald? To our
minds, in the hearts of the people of the
North and South for years past there has
been no line of sectional division. But il
the nomination for President by the two
great parties of two Union Generals Of
unquestionable devotion to the country
shall happily obliterate the last trace OF
sectional bitterness, the experiment il
worth all it costs. 1t will bring to the
front once more proper questions for polit
ical dispute 1t will melt away the solid
South and the solid North into natural
party divisions according with the vary
ing interests of different localities. The
issues of the war being finally settled, the
issues of peace may be renewed, taxation
may be lightened, commerce revived, and
internal harmony restored, we hope to
last forever.
