UeHerdt indulgence.
On and after The Let day Of June next,
The "UNIoN" will be published under the
J,int management and control ofsahe sub.
cribers.
As both Of the undersigned have been
before ihe public in different siatious-one
Of .us for nearly half century, and the
other for several years-we believe il
will not be deemed arrogant IN US TO sup
pose that anything more than a general
declaration Of our principles, and the course
which we intend to pursue, will be neces-
sary at this tinle.
The political character Of the "UNIoN''
will remain unchanged. As It has hitherto
done from the date Of its publication TO the
present time, il will continue 10 advocate |
thegreat principles Of the democratic party
as expounded by its ilustrious founder,
Thomas Jefferson, and carried into success
full practice in the administrator Of the
government by subsequent democratic
Presidents; principles which have secured
for our beloved country an expansion,
progress, and glory, unexampled in the
history Of ancient and contemporary en-
pires, and elevated it TO the first rank
among the nations Of the earth. Those
principles have been more fully developed 4
in the original Prospectus which was pub s
lished at the commencement ofthe pubica, !,
ton Of the "Union, and republished in its !,
columns few days ago. They demand I
a system OF taxation and revenue which
shall be equal and just upon all classes t
and individuals, depressing none and favor
ing none; economy in the expenditure of
the public meneys, the separation Of the
fiscal affairs Of the general government
from all connexion with State institutions
or corporations created by itself; a strict a
of the constitution, confining
ilie several branches of the general gov
eminent TO their particular spheres of ac-
ton, and requiring Of all faithful per-
formance Of duty; and especially demand
ing and insisting that the President of
he United States shall not abdicatc his
high powers and his response tiles 10 an
responsible cabal, under the name of
.abinet, who were not chosen by the peo-
lie, and are not accountable to them at
he ballot>bOx.
Such are, in general, the principles
Which the "Union" will advocate; and, 10 n
reforming The duties which they have j
'intly assumed, the undersigned are aware ar
hat, in the present crisis, it will devolve A.
pom them 10 discuss the policy and meas ex
res Of the party in power with freedom, col
nd perhaps, on some occasions, with on
everity. But, in executing their high lie
inctions as conductors of the public press ,bs
ley will not forget the dignity nor the
soFm iSeI s S q S % so, Se, .a. ney Pu
rmness and fidelity which the occasion cal
ay demand Wis
Aware that the "Union" is the sole or
in at the seat Of government, Of the
eat democratic party, which represents anl
e people Of the United States not only
principles and sentiments, but also in
Imbers, the undersigned will endeavor Sta
conduct il in that liberal and catholic dali
irit which the true interests Of their coun- S
yand party demand al their hands. They An,
Q not blind TO the fact that in republic Bot
extensive as this, and embracing such a and
de range Of latitude and climate, differ~ I
{ institutions must spring up apparently Phi
nfiicting with each other, but, in reality, al ,
ca contributing TO the advancement Of ny.
, whole. This apparent conflict Of in ees
ests and Institutions, Of course, gives I
e TO sentiments and opinions as apparent mer
diverse, but which, rightly understood, and
] under just restraint, can do no injury com
each other. With regard to these con- vbo
ling sentiments and opinions growing nj
Of local causes and institutions, il pin
I be the object Of the undersigned not Aca
interfere, except 20 incuicate concession +
! forbearance on all sides, and to secure s.
each the just protection which the con- n
ulion promises to all. Mus
Dor endeavors will be TO unite all the Use
ments Of the democratic party in support On
is common principles, and in an effort Incl
regain ils ascendency, which has been b
/ BY the mistaken trust and confidence or "
ich some Of It's members have reposed in wasI
AN, now occupying the presidency, who half
gained high military honors in a noble will
patriotic cause, and who, in order to Ron
in the highest civic honors, made prom J. NJ
and pledges which he has, from in E.
aciiy 10 fulfil his high duties, or from ia.
,htional design, grossly violated, thus ia
raying 10 The enemy those who con6ded -
him, and bringing disgrace opOn the n I
sidenlial Office. H
q carrying out these purposes and in Biacl

! stand 10 need Of the active and en- il be
sic cooperation and support Of The IN I, ha
