The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-03-17

sefAchsy o. tne Cabinet Organ.
II IL were necessary. should find il almost impos-
sbe TO notice all the ridiculous. false. and monstrous
things which appear amest daily in the cabinet organ.
Thus the Republic Of Thursday last has the following
The Union. with characteris,Ic- disngenuoasaess and
disregard II truth attempts hold the Wing Iespon-
sbe for all the unjust. aggressive and unconstitutional
movements-o the abotionsts. No knows better than
the editors OF that paper that this allegation has no pnnda
lion in facI-ihat aboohsm in nil its political action has
been under the control of locoocoism-hat the whgs OF
the North haye deprecated and repudaed abolition organ
zatons aud that every demonstration of this description
has Injured 10 the benefit OF the locoioco party
No one knows better than we do. that the assertion
that abotonism, ia all lis political action. has been un
der the control OF locofocoism [democracyltha the
wings of the North have deprecated and repudiated
abolition organizations, and that every demonstra
ton of this description has Injured TO the benefit
OF the locofoco party"-is utterly false and without
foundation And we are only surprised that the
northern editor OF the organ and his eodborateu- Mr.
Truman Smith, should have presumed utter such stu
pd Misrepresentation in the very face and eyes Of truth
they both well know. Every reader Of the Republic
in the free States will be asoanded at the recklessnsss
which prompted such assertions.
Again:
There is them no exception to the general fact that the
occfocos and the wings have proted by the
ton OF the aboIitionis,s.
We do not know which to wonder at most the stupid
lily the monstrosity Of this falsehood What sent John
p. Hale TO the Senate but union between whgs free
soers and aboitionsts' What sent James Wilson and
Amos Tuck 10 the House of Representatives but the
black and unprincipled combination Of factions
Before the alliance of the wing party Of New Hampshire
with abolitionsm, the representation from that State in
both the Senate and House, entirely democratic BY
that alliance il has been divided. notwithstanding the
democrats have majority Of 5000 in the State.
And what secured the election Of General Taylor but
the same unprncipled and unnatural alliance' What
gave The State Of New York to General Taylor but the
aid which federalism received from the abolionss and
free soilers And to the unprncpled combination,
in purposes and ends, which the defeat and prostra-
ton Of the democratic party. the country owes the cleo
ton Of Mr. Seward TO the Senate. And yet in view OF
these facts. the organ of the administration is stupid
eHough-or nothing but stupidity could inspire such
tepdityto assert that here is, then, no exception
the general fact that the locofocos, and not The hgs
have profted by the action Of the abotionsts
And again, if hlindly bent stripping itself OF all
claim petence to veraciy in its statements, says
In degree and in the whigs as party,
eponsble for any OF the of the fanatics OF
North They neither omented encou ragged abo-
ion organizations In single State On the contrary, they
sympathized with them and oreseeing the evil
sequences OF this species of agitation, they have dscoun-
tenanced and resisted by all proper As have
before said, this is well known the editors of the Union
AS our knowledge is again appealed TO. we assert up
knowledge. that there is not particle Of truth in
the preceding statement In fact. we cannot see how
more falsehoods could be well crowded into the same
number of words than contained in the extracts
which we have copied from the Republic
Does that paper forget that, for than years.
John Quincy Adams Joshua R. Giddings. and William
Slade, OF Vermont, all wings. the principal if not
the only agitaors of aboonism in Congressl Does it
forget that the whole northern wing press has counie-
nanced abotonsm, and alliance of the wing party
with that faction Does forget that the present Vice
President, Mr. Fillmore. is aboonist. and that ia
cob Coamer. General Taylors Postmaster General. is
another' What but obtuseness OF intellect or moral
principle could prompt the cabinet organ make the
declarations which it has upon this subject. when il it
conscious Of anything, it must be conscious that the
whole world knows there is not particle OF truth in
them.
And what must be thought OF an administration
whose acknowledged organ is guilty OF such fragrant
msstaements Who wonders that the people regard both
the administration and its organ with loathng, when il
attempts such barefaced mposions upon their ntelI
gence' We do not wonder. and therefore we are not
surprised at the low estimation in which both are held
by the American people.
