The Union—Dot Party.
It is with profound gratification that
we witness in many parts of this, and
in other loyal States, among patriotic
men of all parties, a disposition to
break asunder party ties and to put in
nomination for the coining autumn
elections, those only who are known
to be in filvor of a rigorous prosecution
of the present war, until the c.nd aimed
at by the Government be fully and
triumphantly accomplished.
The only question now before the
k-Ountz T tz, shell the Government be
sustained, or shall the blood-bought in
stitutions bequeathed to us by an im
mortal- ancestry perish ? It is trqly
our (hay before God to transmit them
to our children entire and unimpaired.
The preservation or destruction of this
Union is the great question to be set
tled by the people of this generation ;
before it all minor considerations shrink
into contemptible paltry insignificance.
It is entrusted to us for settlement;
should we prove fidse snd faithless. our
children will heap curses, not blessings,
upon our memory. The nation is in•
extreme peril ; she is struggling to
crush ont the most gigantic and wide
spread rebellion that bold, desperate,
unprincipled, wicked traitord ever or
ganized and set on fbot. It is the off
spring, not of wrong, outrage and op
pression, but of a devilish ambition.—
She calls upon her loyal children to
save her from time gripe of the vandal
hordes who seek- to strangle and de
stroy her. Shall we hearken to her
voice or shall we turn away and Nti-ran
gle over the spoils of office? What
matters it now who brought on the
war, what party contributed most to
fan the flame of strife and discord; at
present it is not a debateable point.—
It will be time enough to discuss it and
punish the wrong doers when treason
is annihilated—when law and order
are re-established, and our starry flag
be respected all over the land.
Fi'om the first the rebels have chief
ly depended for success upon party
dissentions in the loyal States; to fo
ment and increase these dissentions,
they have spared no pains or money.
Treasonable journals, under the specious
guise of Democracy. have been subsi
dized and circulated at great pecuniary
loss. They have succeeded in corrupt
ing and debauching a few, but, thank
.leaven, the masses are loyal and true;
their patriotism is not to be shaken by
the arts, falsehoods, and blandishments
of demagogues and traitors. We are
daily preparing material for the an
nals of our time; and when some fu
ture historian shall sit down calmly in
his closet to compile them, it is for us
to determine whether he shall record
that we suffered the most benign, the
most paternal, and the most liberal
government, that the morning star
ever shone upon, since the first day of
creation, to be destroyed, or bravely
and nobly shed our blood, and endured
every sacrifice and privation to pre
serve it. For ourselves, personally, we
have always defended and supported
Democratic doctrines, conceiving them,
when honestly and conscientiously
carried out, as best conducive to the
happiness and well being of this peo
ple. And we do not compromise these
doctrines, or endorse the Chicago
Platform, by supporting the Govern
ment, although a Republican pilot
controls the helm of the ship of State.
We, must save tip Republic now if
all the scheming politicians in the land
are overslaughed. These miserable
party contests present us before the
world in an attitude of humiliation, '
and they should be discouraged and
denounced in every possible way._
The admirers of free institutions, in
other countries, cannot understand
how it is that we should fight for po
litical plunder, while the temple of
liberty is sought to be undermined and
toppled upon our heads.. Tho
are disgusted with, and sick of factious
broils. It is time they should cease,
and the welfare of the Republic be
considered. Ail good men, without
distinction of party, will agree with
Hai Ilistoii;
The Hon. Joseph Holt was serena
ded at the Tremont House, in Boston,
on Tuesday evening of last week, an
immense crowd being present. Hon.
Edward Everett delivered the address
of welcome.
Mr. Holt, after returning,thanks for
the compliments paid hint by Mr. Ev
erett and the assembled crowd, spoke
as follows :
Kentucky has assumed her present
I position under no prompting of passion,
but calmly mid deliberately, after care
ful review of the whole field of contra
verSy ; and in view of all the gloom
and perils that encompass the Union,
she uow avows she loves it still, and
will cling to it amid its sorrows, as she
' has clung Wit in the days of its strength
and its glory. [Cheers.] That which
she has so nobly declared front the Lai
n .
lot-box, it is now her manifest duty to
make good upon the battle-field [fin
: mense applause] ; and that duty, al
ready begun, wit 1, I firmly believe, be
faithfully performed upon the meeting
-of her Legislature, which takes place
but a few days Ileac.' Full, full will
be the measure ofmy joy, when I shall
bebild the patriot soldiers of Massa- I
ehusetts find 'the patriot soldie'ra (hi&
Kentucky meeting upon: the same
fields, of danger, and with the grasp of
their fraternal hands, rebuking ttiosoij
traitorous men who, through long
years, have, striven to render them
aliens and enemies to each other.
_ .
Fellow-citizens,l atn gratified to say
that,' di / V-1:. - -I*c. somewhat extended
tour dint'' , t:iitt . st made, I have tto
'where third' the public voice Not, or
the publie purpose faltering, in refer
ence to the vigorous prosecution of
this 'war until the stars and stripes
shall float on every flagstaff from which
the have been torn. [Applause.] No
where have I heard the word commo
misE—[cheers, and cries of "Good,"
" Good"]—a word which can now be
uttered only by disloyal lips, or by
those speaking openly and directly in
the interests of the rebellion. [Cheers,
and a voice, - That's the kind of talk."]
1 So long as the rebels have arms in
their hands there is nothing - to corn
promisc—[cheers]—nothing but the
honor of the country and the integrity
of the Goverhment ; and but he who is
ready to fill a coward's grave, is pre
pared for submission to such humilia
tion as this !
Fellow-citizens, it cannot be disguised
that we stand at this moment Con
fronted by great national dangers and
great national calamities. Eleven
members of our Union are in open, and
thus far, successful revolt; and an ar
my, it may be of a hundred and fifty
thousand men, breathing 'vengeance
and slaughter, is hovering upon our
Elms and•menacing the safety of Wash
ington. From this present peril no
valiant resolves, no brilliant declama
tion, no fervid prophecyings can pos.
bildy deliver us. Nothing but the
sword, wielded by skillful and heroic
hands, can now save this country from
the last catastrophe that can befitll
free_neOple. The enemy has been tes
ted, and we c•.un no longer underrate
either his power or his recklessness in
battle.
_ Let ma man olioriuk (110 (IMMO be
lief that since this rebellion is the cause
of crime, that, therefore, it will be the
less daringly maintained. History has
recorded, for our instruction and our
admonition, that Catiline and his co
conspirators fell with their faces to the
enemy; and so, probably, will Mil the
rebel leaders of the South. The more
earnest, the more prompt, the more
united the efforts that arc now made,
the briefer will be the struggle. All
delay, all seeming hesitancy, all dis
sension; while strengthening the rebel-
lion itself; is fraught with incalculable
danger and mischief to ourselves.
It; however, front any cause, this
contest is to be prolonged, we must
not seek to conceal from ourselves its
possible consequences; but even now,
in advance, we should bravely and
calmly look the worst of them in the
thee. Your ships may have to furl
their sails in many a sea, and grass
may spring up in marts heretofore
pressed by the busy feet of commerce ;
widespread bankruptcy may possibly
ensue, and the wail of sorrow go up,
not only from stricken households and
communities, but also from cities and
States, over the brave and true men
who have laid- down their lives upon
the altars of their country.• But our
institutions are well worth all these
sacrifices, and all other sacrifices which
we may or can possibly make for their
preservation. All that we are and all
that we have are the fruit of these in
stitutions; and all that we may now
generously devote to their safety, in
this hour of their extreme peril, if we
arc successful, they will giv . o back to
us and to our children's children, in
creased a hundred, nay a thousand fbld.
But even now, in the very shadow
of these threatening disasters, even
this night and this hour, we could-have
peace. We could have peace by lay
ing down our necks, our country, and
our flag, in the dust beneath the re
morseless feet of traitors, [Loud cries
of "Never," Never !"] But how can
we do this, seeing that the graves of
our fathers are yet with us, and that
Bunker Hill yet speaks to us with
voices which will not and cannot be
stilled? [Cheers.]
If we falter; we fail; and not only
will Washington, your capitol, be sub
jugated and sacked, but your cities and
yi.ur fields will be swept over by an
army carrying desolations scarcely
surpassed since the Goths stabled their
steeds in the palaces of the CreSarS.—
The fiondish tone of the Southern press,
itsexultantthreatenings, and the events
which have already transpired, fully
justify mo in this declaration. lf;
therefbm'o, we think of 'our lands and
gold, of our merchandise and pleasant
houses, or even of the blood that cour
ses in our veins, contrast with the hon
or and integrity of our Government,
ment, we are lost; we shall perish sud
denly, irretrievably, and ignominious
ly. But if true to ourselves, as I verily
believe we will be, if true to the kind
ling memories of the past, and to the
grandeur of our mission as a people,
your armies will assuredly triumph;
' and that trriumph the Union sen
timent of the South will render com
plete and enduring; [applause] and
thus, out of all this national tur
moil, and battle, and bloodshed, and
wringing anguish, there will in the end
arise a future fbr our country, bright
as that rainbow which spans the mists
that mount above the tortured hell of
Niagara's Waters. For that future
that bow of promise and of beauty may
well be accepted as the appropriate
emblem. [Applause.]
- One of the most fearful obstacles
which have been encountered in the
successful prosecution of' this tvar, is
the disloyalty found in our midst.—
[Cries of " that's so."] This is espe
cially true in relation to IVashington
city and the Border States ; but ft, is
in a degree true everywhere, and to
this is traceable' much of that discour
agement under which the nation is
now suffering. The country is now
rejoicing in those bold and decided
measures which the President is taking
to subdue this fhtal source of weakness
and defeat. [Cheers.] It is in vain
that the stalwart arms and hearts of
this great nation toil at the pumps, so
long us men are kept oii hoard with
augers in their pockets, who at every
stolen opportunity are boring holes in
the buttons of the noble ship on which
we are all embarked: [Applause.]
Fellow-citizens : The thought of dis
membering this Union, which has been
the source of all our strength and all
our joys as a nation, can be entertained
by no true man. • Dismemberment
IVould involve the abasement'of all of
which we, as Americans, have so' long
and so justly been proud, and the com
plete ruin .of that grand inheritance
which wo have received from our fath
e'rs, and which it is our duty to trfins-
Mit tindiminished in its blessings to
our descendants. It would conduct
as- from palaces of prosperity and pow
er to hovels of wretchedness, and to
graves of disionor.
When the wise man of old, sitting in
judgment uPon the rival claims of two
inothers . to the possession of 'the same
child, lecreed that it should be cut in
, t;wain, and that one-half' should be giv
en to one claimant and the other half
to the other, it was the false mother
who accepted and exulted in the judg
ment, while the true mother turned
away in -horror, preferring to commit
the life of her offspring to the keepitg
of even her own enemy, rather than
that it should thus perish. The filial
and the maternal instincts are in this
regard• the same. The man who is
willing that this prosperous and free
country shall be severed by the sword
of treason now suspended over it, may
have been born upon American soil,
bat he has no American heart in his
bosom. [Cheers, and cries of " good."]
The true son of the Republic, like the
true mother, turns away from the pro- ,
posal with indignation and uhltorredce.
A Stirring Appeal,
The following eloquent appeal, writ
ten by a talented and patriotic lady of
Philadelphia, of high social position, ee
ectitly appeared in the columns of a
cotemporary, deserves an extensive cir
culation, and we republish it :
TAE T1M1..53
At this appalling moment of the coun
try, when the Government of the Uni
ted States is in such imminent danger
from a'rebellion, hitherto carried on so
vigorously and successfully, a voice
would be heard amid the comparative
supineness of the North, begging all
true men, to arise to the rescue of our
land.
Let us not cheat ourselves into quiet,
and believe all is going on well. There
can never be quiet, never safety, never
peace, until this formidable and deter
mined rebellion is put down. Would
to God there was the same energy, the
same indomitable and universal reso
lution to conquer or die that: possesses
every mind engaged and interested in,
or favorable to, this infamous revolt.
Dryden says, "Thew can conquer
who believe they can."' Let us deter
mine to succeed or perish. Let a right
eous enthusiasm animate every breast.
Lot self be forgotten, and by every mo
tive dear to man let all join in an ar
dent resolve to do, to suffer, if needs
be, to die, for the support and vindica
tion of right, and for the maintenance
of the,Government.
Let all petty differences of opinion,
all party strife, all personal unconge
niality and animosity, be forgotten.
Let men be animated by one high, and
fixed, and unalterable motive, to res
cue our country from the machinations
of her enemics,who seemed armed with
power straight from the prince of evil,
and many of whom show themselves
"superior fiends."
Our great and good men :Irene match
for k those, unless a full knowledge is
awakened within thorn of the sort and
kind they have toiled with. This point
gained, wide-awake sagacity and fore
sight must do the rest. Measures the
most, active and most stringent must
be taken and unflinchingly executed.
Oh, nen of the - Republic, awake ! Let
not this taunting and wickod Southern
revolt overcome the North, so much
greater in numbers as it is. Let not
"the Union" ho lost forever, and we
held up before the nations of the world
as a weak and powerless people, whom
an opponent only half equal in num
bers has overthrown.
Arise, arise, or we are lost, friends of
freedom, honest and loyal men ? Give
not sleep to our eyes nor slumber to
our eyelids till all that men can do has
been done.
To contemplate the success of this
usurpation is to sicken the soul. Our
flourishing United States, our free and
paternal Government, gone forever!
A bombastic, an arbitrary, a would-be
aristoeratiem slave-holding slave-breed
ing population protected and support
ed!
The evil, the pestiferous evil, that
Jefferson, Clay, and all our illustrious
dead have denounced as ruinous in
every way to our best interests, and
the recognition of which is utterly- at
variance with a wise and enlightened
legislation—this evil are we destined
to see permanently established, and the
North held up a by-word and a hissing
—a derision to all the countries of the
world ! Forbid it, Heaven ! Let us
refute what the South has No scoffingly
written of us, that "the Yankees, in
their late battle, had shown they were
humbugs and unfit for government—
that the South must take the empire,
and govern the country with dignity
and effect.
May we of the Union prove the fid
sity of this language, and by the wis
dom and bravery of our conduct, by
our steadfastness and sagacity, by our
energy and hopefulness, our patience
and constant courage, teach them that_
right is might, indeed that we may
come off more than conqueror, and
show an instructive example to the
world. U. D.
Our Country's Future,
The question sometimesarises in the
minds of men who are easily given to
despondency, Can the people of these
States again unite in peace and frater
nity, under one Federal Government ?
The query is a momentous one, fbr in
its solution, the future deStiny of our
country, for weal or woe, is involved.
We are hopeful that the solution will
be a happy one, notwithstanding the
darkness and uncertainty in which it
is now clouded. This is also the view
of a patriotic contemporary—the Bos
ton Po.ct—Which argues Eery forcibly,
after the,follewing manner:
, It is beyond dispute that the border
slave States have a majority of Union
men in them. It is almost equally cer
tain that the most influential and sub
"staiitial Citizens of the cotton States
are against secession, and in fiwor of
the Union. At present 'the terrors of
a military- despotism compel theni to
silence, to inactivity. The politiCians
have the machinery 'of the States; all
of their administrative functions, and
the military power of the States also,
in their own hands. It is no easy mat
ter to 'depose them. Unaided by the
Federal'arnis, the Union men cannot
depose them. Hence it is wisdom for
them to lie still, say nothing, do noth
ing, until the Federal arms shall dis
arm the rebellion, so far, 'at least, in
sections of the States, that the Union
men may act without fear, and with
perfect confidence of protection. Then,
by degrees will Union men be again
chosen to the State legislatures, to the
State administrative offices, and to the
Federal Congress; The straggles at
these elections will transfer the fight
more and more into the cotton regions;
the Union men will be attacked by
their secession neighbors, and the quar
rel will be fought out among them
selves, the Union men being support
ed by the Federal power. As the Union
men in Tennessee, and Kentucky, and
Virginia, and Missouri will be able to
elect Union men to the legislative and
administrative.places. so will the Union
men in the cotton States be able to do
the same thing, and when the last se
cession soldier has been compelled to
give up his arms, peace will be restor
ed, and the Federal as well as all the
State governments will resume their
old functions and movements tinder the
Constitution. What will then be the
party issues, and the dividing party
fines, we will not attempt - to' 'divine;
no man earcfbresee them. All we now
tin is the administration, in its loyal
attempts to subdue the rebellion—all
we now desire, is the vigorous use of
such measures as will enable that ad
ministration to succeed. We shall not
support or attack the administration
a party power, but we shall support
it as the loyal citizen's should support
the legal authorities in maintaining the
laws, while we reserve to ourselves the
right, when passion has subsided, and
reason has resumed its sway, to point
out what we consider its errors, and to
reprove it fbr its short-comings. We
see success in the future, and - for that
success we shall labor.
The Objects of the War.
We are engaged in no ordinary war
We are notAinlitinit nereN 41 U
~rede
-ownerstup to a strap tA,
or to avenge some slight insult or wrong.
or to secniT the advancement of an in
dustrial interest, but for the very ex
istence of a great nation. Aro foreign
foe could menace us with greater evils
and dangers than those which the tri
umph of the unhallowed designs of the
conspirators would inflict upon us.
When internal enemies wage such
war against a republic as they have in
augurated; a death-struggle m ust ensue,
and one of the combatants must he
destroyed. If they triumph, we must
bid an eternal farewell to all our na
tional greatness, prosperity, and secu
rity. lithe Government of the United
States proves too weak to protect itself
against rebellion, it will lie virtually
destroyed, its prestige will be ruined
forever, one successful revolt against it
will prove but a precedent for new re
bellions, and our unhappy country will
in a few years be cut up 7 --not into two,
but into numerous jarring, distracted,
impoverished, anti miserable States.
The great conspiracy against the
Union strikes a deadly blow at the
happiness and security of all good citi
zens, whether they live in the North
or the South; whether they like or dis
like the institution of slavery; whether
they have hitherto belonged to the Dem
ocratic, Republican, or American par
ties. Those who sock to give a parti
san aspect to the war, and to denounce
it as one in which only those of the
same faith as the Administration should
engage, are either bereft of reason or,
what is more probable, in secret league
with the traitors. It is of comparative
ly little hnortance to the American
people what arc the opinions of their
rulers on the questions of national pol
ities which have heretofore been most
earnestly agitated, but it is a matter
of vital moment to them that the Gov
ernment which they have established
should not be forcibly overturned, and
that treason should not stalk defiantly
through the land, undermining all the
foundations of political and social or
der, bringing the authority which the
nation has invested in its constituted
rulers into contempt, and jeopardizing
all the vast interests of the peaceful
citizens of our country.
The war whiCh the insurgents have
conimenced is not waged against a par
ty, but against a country, and Demo
crats and Americans have as much in
terest in crushing their treasonable
movement as Republicans. The best
men of all the old parties have discern
ed this fact, and plead most earnestly
with their countrymen against the
traitors. We might fill our columns
with proofs of this assertion, but what
could be stronger than the appeals of
Mr. Douglas, the chief competitor of
Mr. Lincoln, in the late election—the
speeches and writings of Everett, the
- Vice Presidential candidate of the Con
stitutional Union party or the eloquent
addresses of bolt, who acted as Secre
tary of War during the closing months
of the last Administration ? In the
ranks and annongthe oflicerS of the na
tional army, too, a large proportion of
men who have never been identified
with the Repitblicans, will be found.
This is as itshould be. But, meanwhile,
there are a few men, so lost to all sense
of patriotism and regard for the inter
- ests of the nation, as to seek to paralyze
the efforts of the Administration to
preserve the Union intact, and to over
whelm with defeat and confusion those
who are arrayed in arms against it.
Every step which l it takes to cheek:
mate the designs - of the unprincipled
conspirators, instead of being hailed
by them with the delight which is felt
by all loyal citizens,' is criticised and
denounced. Every frivolous pretext
which they can devise to awaken the
prejudices, to weaken the loyalty, or
to mislead the judgment of their coun
trymen, is resorted to. They see noth
ing to pondemn in all the infamous ef
forts of the Secessionists to plunder
and destroy the Union, and nothing to
applaud or approve in the measures of
the Government to protect it. They
are ready to "cavil upon the ninth part
of a hair" about every step taken to
thwart the traitors, but they evince no
surprise or indignation at any act how
ever. tyrannical, at any wrong how
ever unjust or cruel, at any movement
however treasonable and dangerous, of
which Stiff. Davis and his confederates
may lie guilty. In filet, loyalty to the
best Government that has ever existed
is in their eyes the worst of crimes, and
open hostility to it so great a virtue
that it hides and neutralizes a multitude
of sins.
Our nation is now on trial. It should
be remembered.' that the enemies of re
publics have always predicted their de
struction, chiefly because they believed
that defeated parties wo, hl-sooner or
later prefer hn 'appeal to- arms to a
peaceful acquiescence in a decison of
the ballot-box which was obnoxious to
them'. The critical period in our his
tory has now arrived when• this dim- -
ger is no longer speculative, but real.
It is the duty of every
. patriot to Mect
it as becomes freemen sincerely- attach
ed to republican institutions, and those
who counsel-their countrymen to make
an ignominious peace with armed trai
tors are the most dangerous foes, of
civil liberty. The Press.
The Midnight Sharp-shooteri,
Night , before last the first experi
ments of the regiment known as the
Calcium-light Sharp-Shooters ' now be
ing organized by Professor Grant at
Weehawken, were made in the pres
ence of a large number of spectators.
A small imitation of a masked battery,
where from amid a mass of green
branches peered forth what seemed
the muzzles of two guns, was the ob
ject of the evening's hostilities, and
when night came on, the brilliant Cal
cium light was thrown upon them, re
s=ealing everything as by daylight, and
they were riddled "at leisure by the
sharp-shooters.
Mr. J. G. Edge is to be Lieutenant-
Colonel of this regiment, and will have
under his command a corps of pyro
technists armed with projectiles of the
most destructive character, and of a
kind hitherto entirely unknown. Not
the least important of these is an in
cendiary shell which will weigh but a
few pounds, can be thrown accurately
half a mile, forms, when fired, a ball of
fire two feet in diameter, unextinguish
hie without being immersed wholly
in water. and is fired from a mortar
weighing only twenty pounds.
I it is believed that these will do an
incalculably greater amount of damage
than red-hot shot, as they burn so
fiercely and cast their blazing crag
ments in all directions. Beside this
man can carry One mortar and a large
number of balls. Prof Grant's ma
chinery will also be so portable that it
may all be carried without inconve
nience by three men, who will have
each light in charge. The method of
keeping the apparatus secure from the
shots of the enemy it is thought not
best to describe minutely at present.
