The Union Prophecying Dissolution Of the Demo
cratic Party.

cratic Pdrty
"We have no doubt says the Washington Union,
" the time is close at hand and we friends OF
t-when the Democratic party will have to choose be-
tween total Reorganization and defeat and the repuda
ton of certain individuals who have been promi
nent support OF its principles, usages, and candidates.
but who are its deadly enemies, clingng to its
skirts and holding on its name, that their parrcidal
thrusts its vitals may be more etecual and fatal
The time has nearly come when the true Democratic
press should speak boldly, and call both persons and
actions by their proper names. Such, at the appro-
pirate time will be our course, regardless OF the
quences."
1T has been the policy of the Washington Union
and its party remarks the Petersburg Integencer
this paragraph to pick up thing and every body that
promised to be servceable to them Tor the time being,
without making enquiry into principles qualifications
and TO discard them the moment they ceased to be use
full Van Buren, was for long time the pet of the party
and years since Mr. Benton stood second only
to the Northern man with Southern feelings Who the
Union alludes to, we, OF course, do not know, but
shall patiently await further Developments
| The Unions allusion was doubtless to Mr.. Benton.
The day after this ominous inmaton, it did call that
Senator by name, but very gently. 1t merely threw out
the suggestion, with evident tremulousness that the
great Missouran was not the appropriate leader of the
| Free Sellers He had called the Wilmot Provso a
cloud without RAIN unless it be rain of blood" and
that Free Soil doctrine. 1t is not to be denied
that Old Bullion has something terrible about him yet,
at least IN the eyes OF the true Democratic press
We cannot pretend to tell when the time " will &C
tuay come tor that press call both persons and
tons by their proper names" Judging from its past
course, we lear the period will be an indefinite one
But, in regard to Mr. Benton, we shall keep close
watch on the columns of the Union and if any express
sion escapes concerning him, that approaches the cha
racter OF a proper name In the premises nous Uer-
rons and we will forthwith advise our readers.

Il has long ceased TO be fashionable to puff pa,
