Union, yesterday.
The people, tired Of the corruptions Of
politicians, mere politicians, turned with dis
gust from them and their miserable arts and
wiles, and lifted an honest old soldier to their
chief Office, for the very identical reason
which the Union here adduces asobiections
to him. These objections were made before
the election, and the people overrrled them,
because, knowing that the successful soldier,
in all ages, has the elements Of true states
manship about him, in much more abundance
than the trading politician, they were more
willing to trust the Hero Of Buena Vista,
than to rely upon corrupt civilians any lon

their judgment was wise one.

We repeat, that the wings ought never 70 have

~ Union of YesteTddy

We repeat that the wings ought never 70 have
elected Gen. Taylor President of The United States.
Union Of yesterday
Let the Democratic party be defeated at
the next Presidential election, as it was at
the last, and we predict, it will never rise
to power again in this country, for the sim
pie reason, that it will so clearly show its
cloven foot, under another defeat, as forever
to deprive It Of the confidence Of the masses,
who are honestly led away BY the arts and
wiles Of the leaders, The impertinence Of
the above protest against the election Of
Gen. TAYLOR, only serves to show the hol-
low-heartedness Of Democracy. Democrats
never bow to the will Of the majority, un-
lsss that majority declares for them and their
men, The truth is, the Democracy Of the
present day, is only popular form Of the
aristocratic absolutism, that seeks under all
governments to usurp the exclusive posses
sion Of power Let it be once disappointed
and the mask forthwith falls from its face.

Such ands james X. Polk Union, yesterday.
Not what his apologist, the nion, says
he was, but what the truth Of history says
be was He was the moth and the rust,
chat ate into the vitals Of American consti-
tutional liberty He rushed in where wise
men feared to tread. He converted our
beautiful constitutional form Of government,
into an absolutism Of the most odious kind.
He did things, that Nicholas Of all the Rus
sas wouldnot have dared to do. He boldly
usurped power, that he neither had right
to assume nor could give an excuse Tor as
saming. He il was, who first taught this
nation, that its liberties are not impregnable.
To be sure, he has been sorely punished for
his audacity, but il he had been endowed
with . personal bravery equal in intensity
to that which he pc ssessed, as a politician,
different might have been the result. JAMES

The long rncditated manifesto Is At length completed
and was submitted 10 the special committee this morn

The general tone Of his report Ia more temperate

recitation Of the alleged wrongs which the South has
,1aered NJ me hands Of the North In the opposition Of
ssrpeople and tribunals 10 the reclamation of fugitive
slaves in her petitions and publications advocating the
s,oluon Of Slavery, and in her movements upon the
District Of Columbia.
All the facts and arguments affecting these questions
and others of like interest elaborated at great
eprth and with tedious mnuteness. No measure OF
Immediate distinct action Is proposed, but the south
exhOrted. with enthusiastic zeal, TO stSnd on ner re-
,er, cd rights ard % prepare for the impending crisis
