Parties.
Political parties have al ways existed
in this country, and it is highly proba
ble they will coot inue, so long Ae the
eo )1e exercise th. rioh of stir..
This right cannot cease, While a Re
publican'form of government is main
tained, founded upon the sovereign will.
of the popular voice. There are times
however, when party spirit should give
way to the more laudable and vivify
ing love of country, which shows it•
self in a genuine patriotism. In ordi
nary times, mono questions of policy,
may very readily lead the people into
different organizations and associa
tions, with a view to advance their pe
culiar notions of statesmanship, or to
secure the emoluments of place and
power; but at a time like the present,
when the.fiery chariot of war is roll
ing over . the land desolating in its
track, towns and cities, farms and fire
sides—and irrigating the soil with the
blood of thousands of our bravo and
gallant sons, it is surely no time to ad
here to party organizations. It then,
that party ties must be severed-:---that
political aSsociations“thust yield their
peculiar attachments; and one com
mon effort must be made in defence of
the Government..
a
- The struggle in which. we aro now
engaged is of such a character. The
war has been commenced, and is now
carried on by men, who desire the de
struction of the union of these States
—disunion, is their avowed purpose.
On the other hand, the government is
_taxing its mighty powers to prevent a•
disruption. Arinies are raised, taxes
are levied, and herculean efforts are
made by the loyal men all over the
land, to preserve this nation, and dis
arm treason of its power. And it is
surely no matter of wonder, that so
many honest and patriotic men should
be found tearing themselves away from
party names and party ties, and,enlist
,ing under the, banner of the Union.
The recent victory by the Union men
of the country, is entirely owing to
tins loyal sentiment. And it is 'a source
of great satisfaction ; and inspires re-
Aimed confidenee in the perinaneney
of par f;.e© iustitutiona , to witness the

from their.old party

That there are men who have adhir

ed to theit:old party name, under a
firni.conviction that , they - were fin the•
line of :their duty, we, have. no doubt.
They have been persuaded that the best
way to save the Union, was to change
the mdthinistratiOn.' And under this
belief, they have sympathized with
rebels in arms against the,govern m cot,
they: have given aid, and: comfort to
traitors—and thus, withheld their,sup-:
port from'an administration which is'
doing all in power to preserve the
integrityof the nation, in the only Way
it ever cap 6c saved—by a vigorous
and successful prosecution of the war.
We regret, that there are so nulny
who are in this way induced to fo . rsake
the path of duty. Wo cannot help be
lieving that many of those will yet•
see their error, and turn their faces in
the direction of freedom and the'Utdbn:
We do - not say that all men who aro
enchantedwith the mono.of democrat,
are ignorantly Misled; there are thou

The.hair of some was matted to-'

they had lain in their own filth, ver

Nearly every man was darkened by

and with scorbutic sores. One in par- '

they. are repeated and even augmen

To Make Farm Life Attractive,

because they dislike the hard and

merit of the homes of their childhood

like to marry young farmers because
they see alit of drudgery in the pros
pect; such as cooking large meals for
hired men, and because the throng of
laborers which fill up their houses
