THE DOTY LOYAL What a marvellous change has four short years wrought in the political of this country. Then, while wan yet la embryo, and before the foul thing bad burst its covering and appeared before the world in nil fin horrid deformity, we had two great political parties divided on peaceful issues affecting the interests of the government and the governed. Men differed widely and rad, ically in their political faith, but they were honest, and all sought the welfare and perpetuity of the we except the slave aristocrats of the South, who have been plotting treason for the last half century. With the rank sod Ble of the two great political parties, especially through the North, the ultimate end to be attained was the same, the happiness and prosperity of the people; though they differed as to the best and most politic course to be pursued in reaching that and. And although Bierce political storms rolled over the country, they did us ad injury, but on the contrary had a good ef.

fact, for they tended to purity the political atmosphere, prevent ragnation, and invigorate and strengthen the gorernment, But the South in an erit bour attempted to throw off its allegiance, raised her parricidial band against the Nation. lien, lol presto, In a moment, as it were, old issues becanie obsolete, and of no practical effect; add in their places appeared single issue, more vast and momentous, more fearful to contemplate, and more uncertain in its sulta, than any eror before forced upon our people. Whether ho would or not, every than obliged to take his stand side or. the other of this new order of thing, there Fras no neutral ground, -he that W29 not for us WAS Against us. Under the new stale of a fairs there was nothing 1 to prevent harmonioua and united action on the part of all true men, no tatter what had heretofore been their political differancen.

No one was called on to renounce or concede anything at variance with his former political principles. All that was asked was that men would stand by the Union and its' laws. This was the new issue suddenly sprung, and one upon which men of all political parties could stand unembarrassed, unfettered, and not in anyway affectod by past partisanship. And it, was a glorious night to see tho old political, wat-horses cast aside the shackles of parti- and standing side by side, those who had battled for a lifetime, strike hands ono With another for the rescue of their itperilled country. And so it is to-day.

There in but one is. sue nor before the people, and that is, Shall the Union be preserved, or shall pre allow it to be destroyed This is the only national question of any importance before the people at thin lime, -e other issue in secondary and, tribulary to this. And yet, plain as it acema, there are many who do not seem to rcalize ft. While they vehemently porsist that their sympathies are all with the Federat Goverument; Jet they are continnally springing little petty side issues, to divide the people, 1 and create dissensions aniong nien who should be cordially united. This is the part of a patriot, and it in tho duty of every man to giva no countenance to these political tricksters, who, in nine cases out of ten, are inboring more for their own personal! aggrandizement than for the good of tho country.

United we stand, divided TO fall. If the North would be successful in this war, ita people must present a united front to the enemy. We are about entering on a Presidential campaign under- circunistances which never, in the history of country, attended a similar event. Tire momines of the Baltiogres Convention in June next, whoever 'he shall be, will be the choice of the loyal men of the North, irrespectiro of party, and for him we ask the rotes of all Union men.

The one paramount, all-important question in Jet to be determined, Let ua solre that first, and then, if the result is satisfactory, we can divido off into political parties, A3 heretoforo, and regulate the policy lo be pursued by the government.
