It is now tbe only Union paper published, in the English language, in' the cltnty, ard the interests of the party, cannot be mora efficiently or permanently aidi-fl than by placing a it in every family in the county, who can be induced to subscribe fo. it. The great mass of the people are patriotic and desirous of votinj right, and will gladly if tbo truth can bs got fairly before their minds; and there is no way in which this can be 80 effectually accomplished as through tbe agency ot the newspaper press. we ask you, therefore, to use your influence to extend the circulation of our paper, we do it more that tbe principles of tbe Union Party might be widely circulated, tlan. from any pecuniary advantage, wo expect to derive from it "arsalves It may, however, be contended that tbe people are kept posted on these general subjects by foreign papers.

The convention which met in Edwardsvillc on Monday last, has presented one of the most unexceptionable tickets for tbe support of the people, which has ever been put in nomination iu old Madison.

And in this, ho is patriotic and devoted to the free institutions of his country, and has givea his entire influence and best efforts to the suppression of the rebellion, and tbe restoration of tbe laws and constitution in all parts of the country."
