As both Of the undersigned have been before the public in
different siaions-one Of for nearly half century, and
ed arrogant in suppose that anything than gen.
era declaration Of principles, and the which
intend to pursue, will be necessary at this time.
The political character of the {" UNION will remain
changed As it has hitherto done from date of its publ
great principles of the democratic party expoHnded its
ustrous founder THOMAS JEFFERSON and carried into
cessul practice in the administration Of the government by
subsequent democratic PTesdens principles which have
secured for beloved country expansion progress and
glory unexamped the history of contemporary
empires and elevated 10 the first rank among the nations
of the earth Those principles have been fully de-
veloped in the original Prospectus which published al
the commencement OF the publication of the UNION and
Tepublished in its columns few DAYS ago. They demand
system OF taxation aud revenue which shall be equal and
just upon all classes and individuals expressing and ia
vOriug none; economy in the expenditure of the public
moneys the separation of the fiscal affairs Of the
government from all conneXion with State Institutions
corporations created by self strict construction OF the
constulon conhning The several branches OF the general
government to their particular spheres Of action and equ
ring Of all faithful performance Of duty; and especially
demanding and insisting that the President Of the United
States shall not abdicae his high powers and responsibilities
to an irresponsible cabal under the of cabinet no
were not chosen by the people, and not accountable 10
them at the ballot box.
Such are, general the principles which the UNION
will advocate and, in performing the duties which they
present crisis il will devOlve upon them to discuss the policy
and measures OF the party in with freedom and per-
haps on some occasions with SEVERITY But in executing
Their high functions as conductors OF The public press they
will not forget the dignity the amenities due their po
stion while they perform their duty the people with the
frmness and fidelity which the occasion may demand
Aware that the " UNION is sole organ the OF
government Of the great democratic party which represents
the people of the United States only principles and
sentiments, but also in numbers, the undersigned will
deayo TO conduct it in that liberal and catholic spirit which
the tue interests of their country and party demand at their
hand
extensive as this and embracing such wide of aii
tude and climate different interests and different institutions
must spring up apparently conflicting with each other but
IN reality, each contributing TO the advancement Of the
whole. This apparent conflict of interests and institutions
Of course gives rise TO sentiments and opinions apparently
DIVERSE but which, rightly understood and under
sint do no other. With regard these
conflicting sentiments and opinions, growing of local
and Institutions it will be the object of the under
signed not to interfere except to incucate concession and
orbeaance on all Sides and to 10 each the just pro-
lection which the constitution promises TO all.
Our endeav0rs will be TO unite all the elements OF the
democratic patty in support Of IFS common principles and in
effort TO regain its ascendancy which has been lost by
the mistaken trust and confidence which some of its MEM
bes have repOsed in man, occupying the presidency,
who had gained high military honors in noble and patriotic
cause, and who in order to attain the highest civic honos
made promises and pledges which he has from ncapacy
fulfil his high duties from intentional design grossly
violated, thus beayng the enemy those who conded in
him. and bringing disgrace upon the Presidential Offices
In carrying out these purposes AID intentions the under
signed feel that they shall stand in need OF The active and
energetic cooperation and of the undivided demoe
ascendancy by fraud upon the people, and has most shame
fully violated all the pledges which il made attain power
1t will endeavor maintain its ascendancy
scTupulous 1t is the party representing The foreign
sentiments aud principles too openly prevalent in this
country and which al with the principles Of
government and with popular liberty 1t the party which
always allies itself with every foreign enemy with which
our country may happen be variance 1t the party
that espoused the OF Great Ban in the of 1872
and eagued with Mexico in the Of 1915. Sound polti
cal morality, fidelity TO republican principles, and that spirit
OF true patriotism which owns treachey TO ones
country require that this party shall be expelled fom the
power which has gained by such rrprehensbe means and
great work invoke the and untiring aid OF
patriot and every friend popular liberty and free
enmen assuring them that shall endeavor not TO be
wanting in honest efforts TO accomplish that part of the
work of reform which may devove
But while the "UNIoN " will be mainly devoted to poll
tics it will overlook the demands of the domestic circle
1t will contain all the important of day and devote
reasonable portion of its columns 10 matters Of interest
relating science the arts, and general literature
