The Tlacluicn's Parly From the If. Y. Journal of Commerce. Fcvfr vear.3 aro, whenever a radical editor wauted to be facetious, he wrote ou ''Union saving." To him the word "Union" was the funniest word ill the language, and "Union saving" the drollv occupation imaginable. We venture Fa- that in the files of a single radical . ournal of this city for I860 and 18(51, up to tha actual commencement of hostilities, may be found an average of one column per day in which the Union, and the honest efforts of those who were trying to bare it. were treated with every form of ridicule

that a comic imagination could devise such as puns, queer alliterations, jokes from Joe Miller, and "little stories," in the little style. The Union was their butt their standing topic of mirth and radical editors, and stump speakers, and song writers, gained favor with their party just in proportion as they pelted it with ridicule. Things are now changed. The paroxysm of laughter which formerly rang through the land like roars of Bedlam at the mention of "Union," have all ceased. Even Mr. Lincoln, not choice in Iris joke. docs not joke about that. The very party which thought to make the name a hissing and a reproarh, now take it and wear it as a badge of honor. They call themselves the Union party. Their old opponents. inei'emocrtts. are conservatives, wno are now liiriitin'r them on tue same crrounu. and with the same weapons? that they did four years ago, are uow stigmatized r.s "di.sunioni.st.," "friends of the South' -cce.-sionists in disguise," "admirers of Jeff. Davis and Lee," and all that nonscusc. Such is the cool way in which they appreciate, and dory in wearing, a name which only four years ngo, a radical would not have considered good enough for his dog. Tho Union ! There ii nothing that they do not pretend th?y would do for it now. They would kill every man woman and child iu tho South, to restore it. They would see every negro die in battle or in the last ditch, or in the hospital. They would burn Charleston, liichmond, Mobile, Atlanta, Montgomery and every other southern city and town, plough over the ground upon which they stand and, sow it with salt, o that their very sights may not be known to future generations. They are making to-day what they call the I moit heroic personal sacrifices lor the Linon. 1 hey nre luviui: negroes, lmpurung inuiiuen, an i securing an e uoai. i . i ,i, :ed rauncrs to fi' ht for it fin their own stead and place) at from $300 to 8S00 a head. Who would have dreamed four 3ears ao that HI13' radical would ever be brought to pay MU0 to preserve a Union which was then the subject of his laughter and rcornl JLhe time may come whu

For it j must bo confessed that they have but dim ; uoti ms vet of what is the real me;iuiuir of the word Uinon. They were maniacs four vears ago, j when they were laughing at the Union. ! They are madmen now when the v are try ing to .ave it. The same crary spirit is scon in the policy of exatrminaiioii, of putting negroes in the front of battle, of the sutiTrfision of nuwsi'at-era. and the Urrt nf alitor It i in th rmlti. JtuJcof theoretical and viiionary cxperi- ; incuts wkich arc successively tried and abandoned, in place of some steady, consistent ami intelligent j 'an. The laughing form of ii.adneM cave war to the kcurrillous and abusive lorm. Conservative, rational, and thoughtful uion are r.o longer joked at by the radical press, but luve been assaulted with every kind of insulting epithet which insane malice can invent. The radical party will be known iu hitory at the crazv party of the country. Thorn lnqhefn no tiino inoo it fii mint inn ! , 1 , , . , , ... wncii ii hnouia nos nave ieen put iiuo a ftrait-jackot. When the time demanded grave and serious deliberation ?ecord sober thought to avert nn inn ending evil, it indulged in nothing but fikutie laughter. W hen its folly Lad finally plunged the country into war, it j madness assumed a virulent typo to friend and foo alike, raising obstacles at every Riep to ward the restoration of the Union. The only glimpse of reasou dikcernible in tho radical party, for the last four years, has been lately seen in the mournful acknowledgement of many of its members, that they have failed, and arc willing to listen to terms of conciliation and compromise, the very terms that they covered with ridicule four years ago. The assumption by such a party of the naruo "Union," i.s hut another of the fantastic tricks of the asylum where the cratiest of the inmates take on the noblest and most honorable titles. And the most fa vorable sign ot the times is the discovery which thousauds are making who have been unfortunately acting with the. insane party heretoforethe discovery of the real character of that party. It was not strange that in times of fierce excitement many should be willing to close their eyes to tho errors of party leaders, becauso of the belief that those errors were mingled with a ainccrc desire for the good of the Un ion. But the truth now dawns, and tho true men, honest patriots, faithful lovers of the Union, perceive that the radicals have all along been diaunionists, and are abanuoning 1 m them The future brightens. What Will Cease After March. Mr Seward's little bell will cease. Mr. Lincoln's jokes will cease. Mr. Stanton's prison certificates will cease. Mr. Welles' long nap iu the Naval Department will cease. A great host of fraudulent contractors and corrupt office holders and Government fpiss and military satraps of tho Burbridge and Cerrington school will ces.

Rut On? Part j-. The abolitionists have been saying ever since the inauguration ofMr. Lincoln that there should be but cue party in the North. Virtually there has been but one. The Republican party has represented the Government since 3Iarch 5, 1861. In tho prosecution of the war and in the establishment of its policy, the Republican Administration has been furnished all the men and all the money it has demanded. Rut it has failed most signally in fullfilling the promises which it has made to the country. For three years and a half the nation has been engaged in a desolating

civil war, yet it now presents as gigantic! ; proportion, with as littlo prospect of termination under the policy which it has been prosecuted, as it has at any time since the commencement of the struggle. What claim can a party with such a record have upon the further confidence and support of the people ? In fact what right has it to ask that the destinies of the nation should loDgcr be confined to it ? None whatever. Are not four years of disastrous failure a sufficient reason for a change of administration ; A ould it not be regarded as iftjauhy, if an individual should continue! to trust the management of hi: private! j affairs to an aQnt vho had for a series of years proven himrelf unfaithful and incompetent. The party in power has had control of the Government for four years, with every ,lepartmcnt to sustain it. Practically, the orth han been an unit in the support ot the Administration, yet it lias been a failure. What is tu be done? I it the part of wisdom to continue tho management of public affairs with the men who have demonstrated their iljcubacitv to success fully administer thciu; la not a change demanded by every consideration of public policy, to say nothing of individual interests 't Shall wo continue on the same course which has well nigh ruined the country. There must be but one part', say the Abolitionists, but in what way can unity ot sentiment be produced : ( an it uo in other way than by placing tb direction ic trorernmeut with the party which anv ; oi tne gorernmeut witn tue r .. . has heretofore successfully administered ! it ; It the people sincerely desire to restore the integrity of the Union, the blessings of peace and good order uud preserve our institutions, there- must be a change of administration. ConGdc the government to tho control of the party which heretofore has succefully administered it, giving it ...... tll0 Mlne ,lirport which the administration of Mr. Lincoln has received, and in a short time peace will be restored, and the integ rity of tlo 1'r.Ic Mi,d the Comtitution maintained.

To test the matter, jdr, Ut us call that soldier passing along on the opposite side of the stroet.iwid ask him for whom ho will vote." The soldier passing was called. He came. Mr. Venerable Abolitionist put the question : lor whom will you vote at tho 1 rotfi- . ... idential election (ieorge B.

" It was afterward ascertained, although tha soldier who had the confabulation did not know it, the venerable Abolitionist was no le?. toad in the puddle thnn the Hon. David Kilp;ore, late free-nigger Representative in Congress from the Fifth Indiana District. Indianapolis State Sentinel. There are now two hundred and ninetythree thousand guns in the Springfield Arsenal awaiting the order of the Government a much larger number than at any previous timo. The abolitionists are circulating all kinds of lies about McClellan. They now have gotten up one to tho clTcct that McClellan during tho ltichmond campaign run away from his army and hid upon a gunboat and another that he went up in a balloon and came dowu iu Richmond, and had a long talk with Lee and Jeff Davis, and tried to get Lcc to take Washington.

Our ?oldicrs will hereafter not be liable to a surprise from the rear. Each man is henceforth to hive to "I" in the mill of his baek.

t'olitltu! Change to 3S1 3 linn. The Albany (X. Y.) correspondent of the New York Herald thus speaks of important political changes : "A number of Republicans at the State capital are out for McClellan. Not onlj is Comptroller Robinson in that boat, but 31 r. Vandcvecr, formerly deputy of Court of Appeals, under Republican administration of that oßiee. Was a member of the committee on Resolutions at the McClel

lan ratification meeting her on Wednesuay night." The Newark (O.) Advertiser thus spec ifics a number of leading gentlemen, who have abandoned their party for their country. It savs: "In Cleveland, Franklin T. Backus, delegate to the Peace Cougress in 18G1, and Republican caudidate for Supreme Judce in 1802, against Rauney, is out for McClcllau. So is Hon. Sherlock J. Andrews, ex-member of Congress. So is Irad Kclley. brother of Alfred Kelley. "In Zanesville, General Edward Ball, ex-member of Congress and Lincoln elector in tSGO, has cut himself loose from Lincoln and taken the stump for McClellan. . ucnerai was a inemueroi me meeting which met iu Newark, in May to appoint ' r a a, to appoint delegates to the Baltimore Convention, but LincolnVto whom it may concern," and the nomination of McClelan have done their work. "In Circleville, that widely : now ii citizen, Nelson Franklin, much talked of us a candidate naraiust b. (,ox a few years ago, has announced himself for MeOlcllan. 'In 1'ortsmouth, the Gallant Colonel O.ar F. Moore, who served three years in the army, addressed a McClellan meetiug last week, declaring that a sense of duty compelled him to separate from a party whose leading men had shown themselves incapable of delivering the county from its peril. Colonel Moore is an cxmcmbcr of Congress. "In Columbus, among others who haTC made known their purpose to Küpport Mc- ! vidian, are J. ILKiley, comptroller of the j Treasury, (elected by the Republicans;) tiary, (appointed by Tod,) and that model citizen and eminent lawyer, Hon. John Y. Andrews." Added to these are thoso who, formerly Democrats, are now returning to the organization, such as Col. Geo. W. McCook, cf Steubenville, Hon. H. IL Payne, of Cleveland; Hon. Barnabas Burns, of Mansfield, and lion. Wm. J. Flastr, of 1 w ' Cincinnati. Fnquirer.

(cn. Fremont's Leiter Withdrawing: III Xanic as Candidate; lor President. Boston, Thursday, Sept. 22. The following letter of General Fremont, withdrawing his name as a candidate, is published to-day. Boston, Sep. 21. Gentlemen I feel it my duty to make one step more in the direction indicated

by ray New York letter, of the 25th of August, and withdraw my name from the list of candidates. The Presidential question hat. in effect been entered upon in such a way that the union of the Republican party has become a paramount necessity. The Democratic party requires either separation or re-establishment with slavery. The Republican candidate, on the contrary, is pledged to the rc-cstablishmcut of the Union without slavery, and however hesitating his policy raaybe, the pressure of his party will we hope, force him to it. t l .1 x . i f! Between these views I think no man of . ... , . . j . the hberal party can remain in doubt and I believe I am coasutcut with my an cedents ------ in withdrawing, not to aid in the triumph of Mr. Lincoln, but to do my part toward preventing the election of the Democratic candidate. In respect to Mr. Lincoln I continue to hold exactly the Feiitiments contained in mv letter of acceptance. I consider that J his Administration has been, politicr.lly, militarily and financially, a failure, and that its necessary continuance is a cause of regret for the country. There never was such unanimity in a country as was exhibited here at ths fall of Sumpter, and the South was powerless in the face of it. But Mr Lincoln completely paralyzed this generous feeling. He destroyed the strength of the position and divided the North when he declared to tha South that slavery should be protected. He built up far tho South a strength which otherwise they could have never attained, and this has given them an advocate on the Chicago platform. The Cleavland Convention was to have been the open avowal of the condemnation which men had been freely expressing to each other for the past two years, and which had been made fully known to the President, but in the uncertain condition of affairs, leading lnen were not found willing to make public a dissatisfaction and condemnation which could have rendered Mr. Lincoln's nomination impossible, and their continued silence and support established for him a character among the people which leaves now no choice. United, the Republican party is reasonablv sure of success: divided, tho rest suit of the Presidential election is at baet doubtful. I am, gentlemen, respectful yours, J. C. FltEMO :mont. The Zssac. From the State dentinal. The Journal says the minority must submit to tho majority. Will tha leaders of the Republican party submit to a fair Mid free expression of public sentiment at the noils? The organ of the Republican party of Indiana approves the sentiments uttered by Gen. llovcy in his Circle jspcecb on Saturday night last. Jt calls it 'loyal reading." What did the military commanuant of Indiana say iu that speech. We quote his own words: :As for myself this 'Peace party' never can or snail inumpn in muina, .. polls or auywherc el-c, while I haVc the power to prevent it." Docs this look like submitting to the will of the majority? Gen. Hovey says the people are not capable of self-government unless they think and vote as he docs. And the Journal, by endorsing these sentiments of Gen. Hovey, make them a part of the Republican creed aud action. The Republican party has run this Government for nearly four, years, aud what is its condition now? How many times hayc the people been assured by the party in power that within a brief space the Rebellion would be crushed and the Union res torcd? Instead of that, the rebellion yet shows as bold a front and as vigorous a determination a in tha beginning. A million of lives have been tcrificed in the war, aud already a debt nt'r.iir iliniKfiml millions of dollars has been incurred, the interest upon which alene will annually be about three times the whole yearly expenditures of the Gov ernment is there auy economy, but reck less expenditure characterizes the wnoie. With such a record the men in power demand a re-election. And upon what ground? Not of competency, for then argument in favor of a continuance in office is based upon the flimsy pretext that because they were elected to preside over the Union as it wae it is then right to be continued in power until that end is accomplished. Concede this and their power will be perpetual, If they could not eucceed in restoring the national authority over the rebellious States, with the whole power of the government to aid them, what claim have they upon the further confidence of the people? Must tho nation sacrifice another million of lives and another four thousand millions of dollars upon such a plea? This is the issue the Republican leaders present and it is the one which will be decided iu tho election of this fall. The Democratic ratification meeting in New York and Philadelphia were the largest aud most enthusiastic gatherings ever seen in those cities. Of the Philadelphia meeting the ago says: "A noticeable feature of tho great meeting on Saturday last was the large number of soldiers who participated in the demonstration. Their cry was, 'give us back cur el 1 commander!' "

An Insult to the Friends oT The treasonable demagogue Seward ....... O o vl fc-inaiu, said in his Auburn speech: "On the eve cfthe election in 18C0 I told the followers of Douglas and of Bell that when the WrInn V,U
