The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1848-08-24

We republish to-day, with verbal corrections the
card OF Mr. Senator foote which gave yesterday and
we embrace the opportunity TO call the attention Of
readers to the facts which We draw from these
encouraging that In the present crisis the
entire South will the policy and the necessity of Civ
ing support unusually enthusiastic and unanimous to
the national democratic ticket 1t be denied,
and II must be forgotten by the South that the
democracy of the North, in their national organi-
cation, have acted in just and fra,enal spirit towards
their southern brethren in choosing for their chief stand
ard bearer most eminent and well tried statesman. who
has takena firm stand in favor of the maintenance of all
The constitutional rights OF all the States and sections OF
the Union The sincerity of the northern democracy this

local character in the face of which il has been taken
is yet further confirmed, in that they have brought for
ward as their candidate for Vice President, nth the
casting uote IN the Senate, distinguished south
ern man, whom the South trust fully she
must misrust Willard Fillmore. Seeing these things
seeing that it is from the democratic party alone
in the North that the South at all expect justice
and fair compromiseseeing, too, what has been done
at Buffalo, and who have done itseeing that the Buff
falo Convention first determined upon at Phiadel

North-Oho, Massachusetts,, and Vermont-the Buffalo
nomination seems likely to divide the wing strength very
fairly with Taylor, backed up he is by the national
nomination seeing say, all this we can feel well
assured that Mr. Foote correct in his judgment of the
state of feeling among both parties at the South, when
he says that southern rhtgs, leading and influential
men any in the whole South have not hesitaed to
strong doubt whether it is not their duty
patriots and southern to with all their weight
and influence to the support of Cass and Butler"
AS write these lines, significant indication comes
to us of the spirit of justice towards the South which
still anmaes that great and prevailing of the north
democracy which has not yet fraternzed, and
means to raternze with Giddings and his aboonists
and aoolitonising wings at Buffalo. We find the fol
lowing distinct and manly expression of opinion in
the Albany Argus-a journal which has been for
quarter OF century under Its present most able edo
rial superintendent, of the leading organs of the
northern democracy-whch, during all that tme mos,
firmly and powerfully advocated the opinions of that de-
mocracy epres ened by Mr. Van Buren, and by those
men with whom, in his best days, he was wont to
take counsel-and which, democratic Journal
has not from that day to this far know changed
or wavered ioa in its democratic principles but
which, the contrary, still stands resoutely on the
constitutional platform Of conciliaon and non inter-
ference in the matter Of slavery, which the chole demo-
cratic party under the lead of Mr. Yam Buren, laid down
in $780, and reaffrmed in 1874

from my ordinary upon the present OCCASION but
that it is feared by others, whose counses greatly
spec that silence on my part might be construed into
tac acquiescence in certain misrepresentation, which,
