THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
THE UNION.

Some of our democratic exchanges
dispute that the republican party is
entitled to the credit of having
saved the union. 1t is impossible
to have democratic partisans discuss
this question farely, as they will not
give heed to the facts of history,
but we believe no fair minded, i'm
partial man, who knows the facts.
will deny that the republican party
is entitled to the credit of having
saved the union, and of having re-
stored the country to a wonderful
state of prosperity. No one who
knows anything of the political his
tory of the country, will deny that
leading democrats, north as we'll as
south, did everything in their power
to cripple the union army. To con-
fine ourselves to the operations of
the northern democracy, as no one
will claim that southern democrats
tried to save the union, they de-
clared the president had no right
to call out $4,000 men for the de-
Tense of the national capital; they
discouraged enlistment in the union
army and when the draft laws We're
passed for the purpose Of filling up
the ranks of the army. they encour>
aged resistance to the law, by word
and by deed; when it became neces-
sary to issue treasury notes for the
purpose of equipping, clothing, feed
ing and paying the troops in the
field they said it was demonstrations
al and did all in their power to pre-.
vent it; they resorted to every pos
sible means to destroy the credit of
Inc government; tney encouraged
organizations in some of the states.
notably in Indiana, of the Sons of
Liberty, knights of the Golden Cir
Gle and other societies unfriendly to
the union cause; at a time when the
defenders of the union were entitled
to the sympathies of all classes Of
persons in the loyal states they met
in national convention and solemnly
resolved that the war for the preser-
walton of the union was a failure.
In short, they did everything in
their power to encourage those who
were in avowed rebellion against the

HON. HORACE MAYNARD.

Hon: Horace Maynard will arr
rive at Washington and take charge
of the postofice department this
week. Tennesseeans, souther
republicans, and republicans every
where, are pleased with the appoino-
ment of Mr.. Maynard. They
recognize his long and able ser-
vices as leader in the party, who
has always stood true to its principles.
He has naver wavered. Whenever
the party needed a champion, Mr..
Maynard has stood ready to defend
it. And Tennesseeans, democrats
as well as republicans, are proud of
his record. He has been in public
life nearly third of a century. For
sixteen years herepresented the peo-
pie of this congressional district in
congress. He occupied prominent
positions on the most important
committees. He was prominently
identified with the settlement of the
great questions before that body
growing out of the late war. He
was always bold and outspoken. Hs
encountered the determined opposi-
ton of the leaders of the opposite
party. He has served his country
as minister to Turkey for the past
FIVE years, with credit to himself and
to the satisfaction of all. In all his
long and active public life, no charge
of immortality or corruption of any
kind has been made by his bitterest
enemies. That he will discharge
the duties of his new and response
bic position faithfully, honestly ano
efficiently no one doubts. His Off
clal acts will add lustre to one Of
the cleanest administrations in thu
history of the country.

This is the record Of
the democratic party at the north as
a party. We admit that thousands
of patriotic men, who previous to
the war were democrats, went into
the union army and fought bravely.
But they did it contrary to the ad-
vice of their leaders, and after hay
ing taken their stand for the union,
nine out of every ten of them voted
the republican ticket. Many of
them are now honorable, leaders in
the republican party. Senator Nor
ton, 1ndiana's great war governor,
was once democrat, but he was not
democrat after the firing upon
Fort Sumpter. Gen. John A. Lo-
gan, the brave senator from Illinois,
was once a democrat, but he is not
now. We might mention many
others. In fact, large proportion
Of those who are now numbered
amongst the most ardent and devo-
ted adherents of the republican
party, were once democrats. But
Fit is not the acts of individuals with
which we are dealing, it is the acts
of party. We will thank our
democratic friends to mention what
acts were performed by their party,
as an organization, during the war
of the rebellion, that looked to a
preservation of the union. We will
thank them to mention the acts of
their leaders in the United States
congress from 1861 to 1855 by
which they signalized their devotion
to the union.
We do not charge that all demo-
Gratis are now unfriendly to the gov
eminent. We believe that the
masses of the party are patriotic in
their intentions. And while indi-
vidual democrats may deserve great
credit for the part they took in pre-
venting the disruption of the gov-
eminent and the destruction of the
union, the party is entitled to no
credit for it. Southern democratic
leaders will hardly claim any credit
for it, but they ere entitled to as
much as northern democrats. The
difference between the two is, the
southern democrats did what they
did boldly, openly and CALAMITY,
while those at the north were assass
sins in the rear. The course of the
former presents many things to ads
mire, while those of the north de-
served only contempt. But for the
zeal, liberality, courage and patriot
ism of the republican party, the res
bellion would have succeeded, and
now, instead of one great, prosper

and we are sure if duty calls he will
