The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-11-20

OF patriotism One other feature Of the Hamiltonan
system iaordiaate lore Of England and par
ticularly the British constitution, which Hamilton
pronounced machless and siupendous fabric of
human wisdom OF course, such doctrines make all
who believe in them disinolined, for amy purpose,
and under almost ANY PRovocATIos, to 60 To war
with Great Biiiain, Entertained, they were,
during the revolution, they made many, who would
otherwise have been patriotic citizens, rank and IN
dustrious TORIES, Sow boys" and discontents.
Carried down 10 The late war, they we're entertained
by those who refused 10 rejoice our victories,
or 10 fight IN cur armies. They not yet extinct
They are still entertained. Hamilton's love Of Eng
land, passing through several eras and transmitted
to willing and obedient party posterity, continues
to be cherished with undated ardor, and with
markable ZEAL considering the time il was FIRST
avowed, by thousands at the present day. English
example is everyhing Like the great federal leader,
there are thousands who regard the British consltu-
ton perfect work. These men are constantly
comparing what we do here, with what they do in
England, and complaining Of the contrast Herein
of 1900, 1919, and 1914, and the (so called) wing
party Of ls45. II is in vain for the United States
Gazette TO declaim against this fact as fact il Is
proven to be. The present anxiety of that paper in
regard to war--its arguments to show that we do
no, own Oregon, as claimed by President Polk--ts
prediction that TO be hurried into war, for
the purpose ofgraufyng the Executives selfshness,
and that we should not fight with England-dear
England, under any circumstances;--all these show
that its editor is boaslng Justly Of HIS federalism.
IL will not answer for the Gazette TO deny this soft
impeachment. The unjust and severe reflection
upon Mr.. Jefferson in the same article grows out of
the same feeling Mr.. Jefferson, like Colonel Polk,
peculiarly anti-Briiish in all his predictions;
and if he opposed Hamilton strongly, il was be-
cause he feared the power Of one who worshipped
so deyoedly at the shrine of English power. Those
who are his disciples entertain his feelings ar
IDENTIFY; and they know he was right, from what they
now on all sides of them. The very fact that
those who now denounce Colonel Polk do so from
the same causes that lead them 10 revere the mem.
DRY of Hamilton is TO the democracy Of the pres
ent day sure proof that Polk like Jefferson, IS
right in the course he has adopted against England
saw a letter few days ago from Commander
Richie, dated from Commodore Rousseau y flag ship,
the frigate Columbia, (of which he is now command
er,) the l4th instant, at Hampton Roads. He is in
glorious spirits and writes with great animation.
He has fine noble heart, and win no doubt prove
his devotion to his country, should the day come
whenever his services may be required. He likes
his ship and his crew. and speaks ofthe future with
all the enthusiasm of true Yankee sailor.
good deal of money has been made here within
a few days past, by the spectators in Wilmington
railroad stock. 1t is selling for S25 per share;
and week ago, or MORE sold for GIT. The cause is
said to be Of the tricks usual among the 'sbus"
and the "bears" on Change. THERE'S no real cause
in the increased sovency of the company for this
Improvement and an old broker told me Yesterday,
il was absurd TO say that the recent arrangement
pany owning the road, in regard to the mail, had
produced it.
We may expect some foreign news to-day or to-
morrow by the Britannia, now in her fourteenth
day from Liverpool. Il is eagerly looked for by
dealers in grain and cotton.
