REPUBLICAN UNITY.

Tho time has now come FOR Republicans to
thoroughly unite as party, in view Of approach
Ing elections. This they must do II they hope for
success. We are glad to say, as a general thing,
they thus far have had very few differences or fac
tonal disputations that could not or cannot be
reconeiled. II is very natural for persons TO en-

power and truth and right and justice, like Ma
