The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1847-02-22

the war IS raging the enemy unhumbed and boasuI,
ana me sekS season IN Mexico fast approaching, that
Hehae' regardless OF duty to It's counry's welfare and
hpno-resardeSs OF the lives of the brave soldiers soon
to l ~ disease in sckly climate-regarlless of the
panes dictates and demands of the lowest degree OF pa
tros turns ASIDE from those measures imperously de-
maned by these urgent necessities to discuss the origin
OF the war every irrelevant ISSUE and even To inct on
Mr. klehe supposed personal indignity This latter is
the great deed OF great Senate We stand in admira-
ton OF these Sslt -ylndicated dignitaries!
lhlS Senate, too, is called democratic. Hear it. We
democratic people OF these United States An admins
ralion worthy the highest confidence and profoundest
gratitude oil The democracy of this Unon is crippled in
the house OF It's friends. The domestic policy of the
democratic party under the guidance of Mr. Polk, has
Haywood about the tariff of 1916, which drove him into
whsey' 30 admirably has that tarii-faithiulIy elab
GRATED by me research and talent of Secretary Walker
worked that IN five OF the principal cities OF the Union,
IN nne weeks, II has produced 100000 more revenue
than the tariff OF 1872 The sub treasury has gone into
successful operation For the loan just authorized, such
IS the confidence OF the knowing in the management
OF the finances OF our government that advantageous
proposals are flowing in upon the Secretary of the Treas
uy what have become of the threats of the ederalists,
made at the end OF the last session of Congress- go for
"aSepeal OF the tariff The cry for ''repeal repeal =!
IS hushed INTO midnight stiffness. And were there no
Mexican war upon which the ederalsi raise party
cry and make party attack, they would be without
rllying point for their bitter opposition.
Strange toel that notwithstanding these
the ayoue ones OF Mr. Calhonns policy, and have sue
ceeded TO an extent Unprecedented under the manage
ment OF the present administration, he is found, with his
corpoals guard in The Senate active in hwartng every
necessary TO vindcae its character and insure
its success in the management OF the Finally, to
cap the climax Of his opposition, at this late day, when
the administration and the country are fully and for
long time committed to particular in the conduct
OF the war, and to withdraw our armies would be hum
iang and disgraceul, he paades forth great scheme
for yeireating from Mexico, and taking defensive po
stion on long and expensive frontier line Propate
Mexico! propitiate the Cumanches! What will we get
by it! Insult and injury repeated from senseess and
semi babarous Mexcans and disgrace in the eyes OF the
world
What is the natter Why is Mr. Calhoun with the
oppositon3 We were not pleased because Mr. Polk did
not continue him as Secretary of State when he came
into power But when the democratic is at stake,
we can Yield our personal preferences. Cannot MI
Calhoun forgive this offence We are sorry for it, Let
him not expect to carry the people with him. They
true, and cannot sympathZe with his feelings towards
the present administration.
But his friends may constrain Mr.. Calhoun, as Mr.
Wesco says to take run for the next presidency and
Then the scene lately enacted in our State will be gone
over agaln few refractory democrats, joined with the
wings whom he now courts, will elect him to the pres
dency-the goal OF all his aspirations and efforts,
We repeat, that the people, the democratic people are
true, and never will go with Mr. Calhoun. He is
fully in the opposition Let hun stay there. Mr.. West
COTS boast OF his great popularity is deceu and decev
ing, 1t not true We confidently predict, that in his
dcseon OF the great body of the democratic party this
time, he will go alone and unattended His friends here,
among whom we have ranked oursef, surrender him.
Never did we expect TO see the great southern statesman
descend to the commission of act like that which has
lately dsgraced the Senae-the expulsion of Mr. Richie.
Senators and representatives, and party presses speak
they please OF the President and of each other; and it
passes unnoced democratic paper admits into its
columns freeman to discuss the action of the Sen
ate and does not disavow the language of his
spondent, and their ordships so dispeased that
they hang the editor up in their body, as specta-
Gle for the nation tremble at, that they may learn to
fear imitation OF his wicked example Rabid federal
ISIS may do this 1t is in character with their hgh-toned
notions They did it in the passage of the alien and
dition lawshe gag laws of 1900, which expired amid
the eyecratons of the American people" But what
men, calling themselves democrats acting with this
party, III the preparation OF this foul deed
We not 50 much for Mr. Richie for the prin-
ciples involved. He is but atom as he says, COM
pared with these. They did not infct heavy punish
ment upon hm it not in their power to do
They dare not The will to do it was present; but they
wet with hesang step to the preparation of the deed
for which public opinion will be to seattle them.
II was pitifu act and will only elevate the whom
they meanly and in unworthy seek to per-
secue and degrade
Let the administration hold in its way, vigorously
and unterried-for the people are with Though the
politicians, urged on by their wild aspirations and be-
wildered by the Elusive glare of Office may desert .
The people elected Mr.. Polk, and he
suited and still suits them and these dgnitaries should
bow with grace TO the WILL THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE.
ih1s IS democracy.
