The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-07-25


and one from Connscticut had determined to pass
it, and not endanger It's success in the other House
by any amendment at this late period OF the session
The fate Of the measure, therefore, essentially
depended upon the course Of MIR. Haywood. But
in vain was every appeal made to him by his most
intimate friends. In vain had the six democratic
representatives of North Carolina borne witness,
by their votes, to the policy and justice of the
measure. In vain is it understood that the demo-
cratic party of North Carolina, and many Of the
wings are in favor Of the reduction Of the tariff to
the revenue standard In vain was VIM. II. Hay
wood sent to the Senate of the United States by
the democracy of North Carolina At this time Of the
utmost need-whilst the fate Of the whole revenue
bill may depend upon his vote-whlst the incalcula-
BILE interests Of great country are dependent upon
him--he Ainches from his duty-betrays his State
and this day resigns his seat in the Senate Of the
United States, and puts it into the power of wing
governor to send a wing senator TO arrest the pas
sage Of measure, which is TO do justice to the
south, to the west, to the whole agricultural and
commercial interests of the north, and to every
portion Of the Union He deserts his party without
being soemnly controlled by the instructions of his
constituents-as is the with the senators from
Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
From whatever motives this extraordinary wrong
has been perpeuated upon the whole country, and
especially upon his immediate eonstituents-wheih-
er under the influence Of that erratc Imagination
and that feebeness Of judgment which in the most
critical emergencies often betrays like treason
whether it is because the oyerweening vanity Of
the senator aspired to the merit Of originality, and
the contemplate honors Of authorship, until he be-
came so deeply committed in his blunders that
he could not extrcate himself without stink
ing from his post, and sunenderng it into
the hands Of the enemy-yet the wrong is done.
Ii may be felt by every man in North Carolina; and
| VIM III. Haywood stands recorded as an apostate
and deserter, who will be able, in the course
OF the longest life, TO explate one-hundredth part
of the political transgresson which he has this day
committed. Let this bill be lost through his
dereliction, and the deepest odium will fall up
on his head All confidence in his stability is gone.
| No man hereafter will know how to trust him. He
had better Join the ranks Of the federal party at once
and take the bounty at their hands, If they willing
to trust a man who deserts his friends IN the mo-
ment Of trial. and sacrifices his country to his own
eoneeits, eccentrcities and indecision But Mr.. II.
had better seek at once the retirement to which he
ia doomed. He is destitute Of that elearness Of judg
msnt and hrmness Of purpose which are essential
elements in the composition Of statesman.
And now one word to the noble democrats Of the
old North State Your State election is coming
on. As the Wilmington Journal" Of yesterday
which is now before US says: Next Thursday
week Bear it in mind, democrats Of North Carroll
ma, that the election for governor members of the
legislature, and for sheris Of the several counties,
will take place on next Thursday week, the 9th
day Of August. Let the democracy do their
whole duty, and the day will be ours" Upon
the complexion of your legislature will de-
pend the election OF two senators Of the United
States, who are TO take the places Of Messrs. Hay
wood and Mangum. Upon these senators may
depend in part the fate of revenue bill here
after, if it should happen that the present bill
shall be defeated. Let not the manufacturer,
and monopolists, and wings believe that in that
event the cause is To be abandoned. Far from Is
4 We 90 instantly to battle with new vigor and
greater enthusiasm than ever tits a growing and
gaining cause, and ii must succeed. The great
j west the mistaken south, the indsmitable demo
Gratis Of the northern States everywhere will come
to the rescue. The next session Of Congress will
probably carry the reform; and let the protection
sts recollect they may not obtain so liberal bill a,
the present one. We conjure, then, the friends Of
free trade in North Carolina to rouse themselves
to strain every nerve to carry the egislature-to
1 give us two anti-tarif senators. This is the
field on which the battle is now to be fought at the
coming election. Senator Haywood makes it neces-
sary; and let every North Carolinian do his duty
| now.
One word about the course Of the senator from
Connecticut His conduct is exciting the pro-
foundest regret with the democratic party. He is
now quoted by the wing press with commentator.
How does Mr.. Niles relish this tribute His opin-
ions were quoted with appreciation to-day by Mr..
Daniel Webster. Does not this tribute also startle
the democrats The republican presses, on the
other hand, are expressing their establishment and
regret at his course. The democratic press of Con-
necticut itself is clothed in sackcloth and ashes for
his alienation.
