Year: 1866

Ever since the birth of the Union party
an organization formed of the patriotc e''
ments Of the country combining


treasoa--its enemies have continuaiy P'e
dicted its speedy downfall and dissonu.'on.
And at the present time they are sun D.
reiterating the old prediction ana ass.''s
that n party formed of materia's e"'"


from the wreck of former political creeds
and organizations cannot long remain UNI
tod and can only be held together by the
bonds of self-interest and the emoluments
of office. But time and the events Of the
dav clearly and effectually refute all these
predictions of the opponents of the Union
party, and proves them to be false prophets,
and lacking in ability to correctly compre
hend and appreciate the actions and motives
Of that portion of their countrymen who
place loyalty and devotion to fprinciple
above the false allurements of treason. and
the petty Establishments of temporary official
position.


From almost every portion of the country
we hear of unmistnble evidence of the sta
bility and fast integrity of Union men, in
their indignant and almost unanimous
rejection of official appointments under the
present recreant Administration, and in
their prompt resignation of Federal positions
when called upon to give their opinions
respecting the issues raised between Con-
gress and the Executive. Few men. indeed,
who have hitherto borne good regulations
in the Union party, have been found SO low
as to bow at the dictation of Andrew John.
| son, and follow that renegade into the ranks
of the opposition. The few who have done
so will soon witness the day on which they
will bitterly curse themselves for their folly.
The sooner President johnson and his Cop
perhead friends recover from the delusion in
to which they have allowed themselves to
fall, in supposing that the time for the dis
solution of the Union organization has ar
rived, the better it will be for them, for the
time will surely come when they will be
forced to acknowledge that there is some
thing more potent and powerful than the
emoluments of Office which binds Union men
together in bonds of fraternal sympathy
These malignant enmies of freedom and en-
lightened progress will yet be brought to re
alize more fully that the Union party, con.
ceived in the patriotism and self sacrifice of
the great mass of the American people while
rallying in behalf of an imperiled Govern
me-.t and nationality, has not only withs:ood
the shock of one of the mightiest conflicts
ever recorded by the historians pen, but that
it will also continue to live and control and
direct the destiny of the great.naton which
it rescued from the flames of civil war by the
blood and suffering of its devoted martyrs.


"FIcHTING JOHNNY" IN THE FIELD
General John A. Logan. candidate for Con
gress, is making a thorough canvass of the
State of Illinois, and the Copperjohnsons are
greatly exasperatcd on account of his sue
cessfu raids upon the ranks of the weakly
fortified supporters of my policy" Logan s
zeal and fiery eloquence bears down all op-
ponenis, both great and small, and the loyal
Illnoisans are going to have everything
pretty much their own way at the November
election. The gallant General challenges his
opponents to send forth their Goliahs to meet
him in the arena of public debate, but they
have no man in their ranks with courage
enough to accept the invitation. Logan is
to day the most effective and potent orator in
the West, and when he takes his seat in
Congress will prove troublesome thorn in
the side of the advocates Of rebel restoration.
