The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-07-25

UNION AND HARMoNY-We had for q long time
looked on with feelings of modification and regret,
at the bitter strife carried on by the democracy Of
Missouri, and more particularly in the city of st.
Louis; which strife tended to weaken the great
cause itself, and give the opponents of that cause
new strength and fresh hopes, where, before these
unfortunate family quarrels, they had sickened and
almost given up the ghost in despair The last mail
from st. Louis, however, now brings us the salts
factory news, that no longer will 1he Ratchet be
raised by brother against BROTHER and, although not
buried in entire peace, it is be turned only against
the enemies of our principles For years have the
wings cast their eyes in that quarter, and endeavor-
ed to fan the embcrs Of discord; and such were
their high hopes at one time that they went far
to pretend to claim Missouri for the great defeat
ed. But a much more pleasing result is now to be
foreseen than even the complete demolition of the
wings proper it is the prostration of the worst Of
all partiesthe party that would prescribe an indi
vidua from the blessings Of our republican nstitu-
tons, because of the place of his birth This ex-
crescence, which has grown up amid the difficulties
which we have alluded TO, will now be obliged to
stand upon its own rotten principles; for their
allies, the wings, will find enough to do to take care
of themselves; and this being the case may con-
identy look for the prostration of both of the par
ties opposed to the friends of the largest liberty.
We copy the following from the two democratic
papers which, until the present, have been arrayed
against each other. Thus again is it proved that
whigery ''never is, but always to be blessed"

The St. Louis Missourian says:
THE MEETING AT THE RoTUNpo.--We have here
tofore had our misgivings as to whether any or
ganization could be effected in the democratic par
ty that could check the onward march of that Van
dial band ycept ''native Americans" Bat all our
doubts were dspelled by the large and enthusiastic
meeting held at the rotundo on Saturday night. We
believe every democrat there was inspired with new
courage by the scenes that TRANSFERRED there, and
that they now feel that the good old era of demo-
cratic feeling has returned and that from henceforth,
we are nvincble. The democracy that assembled
came there, as of yore, with their preferences and
predictions, for which they conended Gas freemen
ought to contend) manfuly, but with the expressed
determination TO sustain the action of the meeting,
whether they obtained their preferences or not.
They did what they could for their men, and stood
up noby for their views; but when the majority de-
cided against them they acquiesced, and rallied with
enthusiasm upon the ticket presented. The demon
stration that harmony was restored in our ranks,
and the enthusiasm manifested, showing that unity
of action would ensue were strong, that the ma
tives who predicted failure, and who had gone
there to feast their eyes by the blowup that they
expected, went away chapfallen, with presentmera
that they had better their house IN order, for the
time Of their departure was at hand. And if our
friends (of which we have no doubD will carry out
the feeling of the meeting, and will give the ticket
that unwavering, cordial support, which the high
talent and integrity of the candidates composing il
deserve the worst forebodngs of the natives will be
more than realized They will not only be beaten,
but annihilaed, and their name and memory forgot
ten.
