The Madisonian. (Canton, Miss.) 1850-1855, 1850-02-21


{ due to theiF position, while they pei
form their duty to the people with III
frnness and fidelity which the occasio
may demand.
Aware that the "UNfoN" is the sol
organ at the seat Of government of tn,
great democratic party which repre-
sents the people Of the United States
not only in principles and sentiment.
but also in numbers the undersigned
will eudeayor to. conduct il in that liber
al and catholic spirit which the true
interests of their country and party de.
mand at their hands. They are not
blind to the fact that a republic so ex-
tensiye as this, and embracing such a wide
range of latitude and climate, different
interests and different institutions must
spring mp apparently conflicting with
each other, but, in reality each contrib
uting tot Q advancement Of the whole.
This apparent conflict of interests and
institutions ofcourse give rise TO senti-
ments and opinions as apparently di.
verse, but which, rightly understood.
and under Just restraint, cando no in
Jury to each other. With regard to
these conflicting sentiments and opini.
ons, growing out of local causes and
institutions. ii will be the object of the
undersigned not to intetfere except To-
inculcate~ concession and forbcarance on
all sides and to secure 10 each the Just
protection which the constitution Fro.
misses.
Our endeavors will be to mite all
the elements ofthe democratic party in
support ofits common principles and in
an effort TO regain its ascendency,
which has been lost bv the mistaken
trust and confidence which some gifts
members have reposed in q man, now
occupying the presidency, who had
gained high military honors in noble
and patriotic cause, and who, in order
to attain the highest civic honors, made
promises and pledges which he has
from incapaeity to fulfil his duties, or
from intentional design grossly v%iolat-
ed, thus ~betraying to the enemy those
who confde in him and bringing dis
grace upon the Presidential.olice
En- carrying out these purposes and
intentions, the undersigned feel that
shall stand in need Of the active
and energetic cooperation and sup
port ofthe undivided democracy of the
country. The party IN power has secu-
red its asccndency by a frand upon the
and has most shamefuIy ~yiolat-
all the pledges which it made to at
ain power. It will endeavor to main. {
ain its ascendancy by the same un. !
.crupllous means. !
1t is the party representing tho for !
sentiments and principles now TOO i
'penly prevalent inth1s country, and q
are at war with the principles !,
I our government and with popular H. 81
erty, L isihe party which always al +
.es aself With every foreign enemy /
which our country may happen 10 i
g AZ variance. It is the party that cs. /
onsed the cause OF Great Britain in :,
10 war Of 1912 and leagued withf Il
IN the war of1845. Soundpo- !
ileat morality, fidelity to republican I
-lnciples and that Spirit Of true patri. r
ism which ever frowDs upon troach- s
y 10 ones country require thatthis p
.rty shall be expelled from the power q,
1lcl il has gained by such r~eprebeusi \
. means and is now exercislng4for 81
unjusliiable ends. And in this
cal work we invoke the energetic and n
turing aid of every patriot and every +
10 popular liberty and free gov
lment, assuring them that we shall nj
not to be wanting in honest n,
orls 70 accomplish that part Of the
rk of reform which may devolve on I'd
But while the "Union'' will be main
devoted to politics, it will moi over S
k The demands Of the domestic cir.
/. 1t will contain all the important s
VS. of the day, and devote a reasona
portion Of its columns to matter Of
crest relating to science, the arts, :
] general literature.
