The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-11-09

The Republic has been for days striving. with
great industry and zeal. to prove that no occasion has
arisen in Boston for the inerposon of the Executive,
either by issuing precautionary proclamation or other
wise. The responsibility which rests on the President
in this affair has doubtless quckened the energy OF the
editor of the Republic In to specification OF
and acts in Boston, that paper now assumes that
all these violations Of the local police laws. and
that the State tribunals adequate to punish them
Suppose this were as is averred what then How does
the fact differ from the stated by President Wash
ington in hs proclamation, The Republic has favored
with detail Of the horrors attending the whiskey in
surecton and among them sundry assaults and bat
Understanding poor lunatic with hot iron Earring
and feahering- houses shooting at their in
matesand threatening bodily harm the officers did not
surrender their papers and resign These are in sub
stance the facts relied by President Washington
Now respectfully beg leave 10 ask whether each and
all Of these outrages not violations Of the local crm
nal law Of Pennsylvania, just much as the Boston
ouages of Massachusetts, and not just clearly
within the jurisdiction Of the State tribunals Nothing
be obvious than the fact that they so; and
yet President Washington regarded them all together
evidencing that had been committed against the
United States He did not rely any fact act
but upon ALL showing the design-the numbers en-
gaged-and, above ALL that the law had been set at
naught. and could not be enforced This the true
point on which he grounded his action.
Had General Washington been SO fortunate have
possessed such wise counseors the editors Of the Re-
public, he would probably have spared himself the trouble
Of all interference He would have folded his arms as
Mr.. Fillmore does, and said, The people Of Western
Pennsylvania love and reverence the aws-they will
execute them in their own good time" He would have
said that "the who branded the poor lunatc who
shot at Col. Kirkpatrick-who insuted Col. Neville
who arred and feathered the friends Of the
who threatened to kill or harm otbers-who met at
Bfaddocks fields TO spout resolve, and shoot at mark
should all be indicted in the quarter sessions Of WASH
ingon Fayette counties, and punished for violating
the laws Of Pennsylvania The people Of that State love
the laws, and will enforce them"-jus, as the people Of
Boston will at this time.
This the for Presdent Washington 10 have
pursued, and this is what the Republic thinks Mr. Fill
more should do President Washington understood his
duty better He saw the laws eontemned, ds6ed, and
tramptd by mob Of insurgents he cared not for the
prstexs or the meanshe knew the duty Of his station.
and he performed it, The voice Of the nation has hon.
ored him for the act President Fillmore sees the laws
condemned defed, and ramped on in Boston, and those
who perpetrate these deeds ensoonced in baricaded
the Republic reveals his measures, he bears it in silence
and with patience, takes no step 10 fulfil his constu
onal obligations, and those who complain
the petty consiabes and justices Of the peace Of Boston,
who have arrested knight and bis witness for smoking in
the streets, and for fast driving to keep out Of the clutches
Of the negro mob Of insurgents Such are the means
which the Republic would have believe have been
resortei 10 by the President Of the United States 10 en-

proved nightly since the days Of Washington
But we have still doubts about the accuracy OF
these revelations Either efficient measures were
originally adopted by the Executive change has
come the spirit Of his dream Have there not been
orders and counter-ordersi Why has clerk been re-
moved from the War Office, rumor 'or what "cat
has been LET out Of the bag Was il not because he
communicated the circumstances attending the removal
Of troops to the NORTH
But, while upon this most important subject we will
give place the following article from the Raleigh Star
Of the 9th instant II the Republic is right the Secre
tary Of the Navy tand a member OF the cabipeD is
wrong--and converse. This fact il il be correctly
stated, confirms suspicious that the adminstra.
ton had acted this subject but for reason or
other, either shifted its sails DISCUSSES its movements.
Time, however, will explain all:

The Hon. William A. Graham, Secretary OF the Navy,
passed through Henderson Saturday last his way 10

and also confirms the report that the President had
necessary by the whole military the United States

We have hope that the energetic and patriotic action OF
the Executive will quiet the sgatos the North, insure
justice 10 the South, and the Union Should II fad,
