Such are, 10 general, the principles
which the "Union will advocate; nd. q
performing the duties which thsy have
jointly assumed, acknowledgment are aWaFe
that, in the present crisis, Il will deY0lvd
upon them TO discuss the policy and meas.
ures of the party in power with freedom.
and perhaps, on some occasions. with
severity. But, in executing theif high
functions as conductors Of the public press,
they will not forget the dignity nor the
amenities due TO their position, while they.
perform their duty to the people with The
firmness and fidelity which the occasion
may demand.
Aware that the "Union' is the sole or.
gan at the seat Of government, Of The
great democratic party, which represents
the people Of the United States moi only
in principles and sentiments, but. also in
numbers, the undersigned. will endeayor
TO conduct il in that liberal md catholic
spirit which the true interests Of their eoun.
ryand party demand atiheir hands. Thew
are not blind the fact that in a republic
so extensive as this, and embracing such
wide range Of latitude and climate, GilTeF~
ent institutions must spring up apparently
conflicting with each other, hut, 10 reality.
each contributing TO the advancement Of
the whole. This apparent conflict Of il.
terests and Institutions, Of course, phes
rise to sentiments and opinions as apparent.
" diverse, but which, rightly understood,
and under just restraint, can do no injury {
70 each other. With regard 10 these cons
flicting sentiments and opinions growing
out Of local causes aud institutions, il Z
will be the object Of the undersigned not
to interfere, except to inculoate concession
and forbearancs on all sides, and 10 secure
10 each the just protection which the con-
stiiulion promi tonIl.
Our endeavors will be TO unite all The
Of the democratic party in support
Of IFS common principles, andsinian effort
to regain its ascendency, which has been
lost by the mistaken trust and confidench
which some Of its members have reposed in
! man, now occupying The presidency, who
rad gained high military hOn0rs in a noble
md patriotic cause, and who, in order 10
ittain the highest civic hOnors, made prom
SEES and pledges which he has, from in>
.apacity to fulfil his high duties, or from
Intentional design, grossly violated, thus
to the enemy those who conlided
? him, and bringing disgrace upon The
residential Office.
In carrying out these purposes and H.
antions, the undersigned feel that they
hall stand in need Of the active and en-
rgelic cooperation and support Of the IN.
ivided democracy Of the country. Tho
arty in power has secured It's ascendency
y a fraud upon he people, and has most
lamefully violated all the pledges which
made TO attain power. Il viii endsayoF
