81 Time was when public morals and public con
aScience were universally recognized. Then tht
restraints of decency and morality checked the
workings Of depravity and held back the pent W
impurities oil. the blacklist hearts. Those who oc.
cupied the station Of gentlemen, felt that to main.
tain their position they must at least possess the
stmblance Of honesty and truthfulness. But, alas
such recognition seems entirely lost sight of on the
part Of many who rejoice in being the leaders Of
large party and who pretend to furnish matter for
the1world's,, perusal.
*aA Among those who have contributed most towards
bluntiny the moral senso;lites of the masses, the
present editor Of the Washington Union stands
foremost. His motive is made so apparent by his
own acknowledgements and his own acts, that no
other key is needed open to view than to reit-
crate his late determined declaration to unrelent-
lingiy pursue-if he conld not destroy--sthe pres
ent Administration to the bitter eaa.'' This avowa
of his, exhibits depth of depravity sufficient to
convince all that the influence such man exerts
..essx.
the h nest indignation with which the sentiment
was received which announced that the Admins
traion of Mr. Adams ssmnst be put down were il as
pure as the angels in heavens The declaration OF
the editor Of the s.Unions is only repetition Of
this thought in another form. The spirit OF both
must have been gathered in the rubbish of hell
No redeeming attribute can be found in either
They have no affinity with purity patriotisni.-
The bosom that can be the horne Of such sentiments
has ceasedto throb in unison with truth and virtue
With this monstrous sentiment for his text-point
the editor Of the :sunion, has not ceased to black
en- the present Administrt ton with his maev oence
ever since its advent. He has done this without
the shadow or provocaton. He has done it with
the hope that if the light did discover and lay bare
the baseness Of his attempts, its rays would hardly
would thus, he thought, do its work, before the
antidote could be applied. This is his only hope.
He relies solely on this for success. But if any
conddence can be placed in the power of TRUTH then
have we hope that the prompt exposures of his ter
giyersations and monstrous miscellaneous by the
Wing organs at Washington, will counteract the
wickedncss of this weak old man.
HIS party do not cordially uphold the Union in its
attacks on the Administration. The honest and in
tellgcnt portion of them have seen the fulfill
~ as well as unfairness Of Riches attempts to
make capital out OF the sale Of one of our govern
ment ships--the passport affair-the expedition
against cnba-thc difficulty with the French minis
ter-and the now pending question in relation to
the Mosquito kingdom. All these have been thus
Tar disposed Of by the administration in manner
and with promptitude. that should call forth the
Acknowledgement from every honest American cit
zen. chat every thing pertaining to the settlement
Of these questions that ought to have been done has
been accomplished, and that the Administration has
wisely and firmly stood by and vindicated tho char
acter Of our country, and triumphantly maintained
its true honor and dignity.
