The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-10-08
From the Bait. Republican,
WING RANCoR.

Fit geves sorey the occurrences in our neghbor-
hood and the spirit Of mischief and Of malice against
the wbg party which has exhibited itself at Baltimore since
the election Of Wednesday LEST give much color
the following which has just met our eye In one
Of the western papers.--Naf lat
The above extract from the National Intelligent
Ger would be unworthy Of sny notice, were it not
that its s. nment has been adopted by the Baltimore
Patriot Of Saturday. As we have seen no "cxhib-
ton of the spirit of mischief and even of molice,'
we repel this foul aspersion upon the democratic
party 18th the indignation il merits. Our triumph
ives sufficient, " ithout borrowing any additional
glory from the modification Of our humbled adver-
sary; end our hearts were too full of happiness to
cherish malice towards the proud and insulting foe,
whose complete discontinue on Wednesday has
rendered him harmless forever. On the contrary If
we had desired to mingle with our political oppose
ton unv such feeling of malice il imputed to U.S.
we could ensy have shown that the extraordinary
zeal Of the wing champion was fired by the deepest
personal interest; that he struggling for the ta-
rf rs manufacturer; and that the distribution he
most coveted in the form Of dividends from the
"Gaay MANUFACTURING COMPANY" composed Of
his ather-in-law, end HIMSELF and one or two other
persons chartered by the whig legislature at the
session Of IS@Il! We could have shown that the
recent uncal division Of the wards was made
to reinforce the supposed existing wing majority in
the district and to make the assurance of MIR. Ken
ncdy's election doubly sure. Wccoud have shown
that the design Of that infamous statute which re-
cd, was to deter the foreign voters from the polls,
and by the combined action Of this insult and iDju-
ry, to increase the wing majority by dminulion Of
the democratic vote. We could have argued that oil
these were means and appliances Of the Kennedy
cempnigo, suggested by his own mind, for bis own
political advancement; and we could have argued
that the man who is afraid Of popular suffrage,
ives not only unworthy Of public honor, but de-
served the execraiion Of every true republican,
schsfsrcr be his party name, who regards the people,
not only as the true, but the pure source OF
power But we avoided oil this harshness We
felt thar our cause could be successfully maintained
by argument, and we made no appeal to the pas
sions Of our party. We knew that the golden
coored mist, through which the attributes of Mr..
Kennedy had been contemplated, had been dis
PEELED by the bright sun Of pure republication,
under whose influence the moneyed power had
wiihercd and died; end that Mr.. Kennedy, shorn
of this adventurous importance, would be presented
to popular suffrege in Mis- real and unattractve cha
ractcr. We were content that he should enter upon
the field with all the cheering sounds which his
party bugie could, from one end Of the country TO
tho other, raise in his favor, because we realized
that here he was now seen as he is; that the spells
which had, for time, worked upon popular delu-
