The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-02-10

u was voice OF condemnation. From Connecticut to
the Rio Grande, the administration Of Gen Taylor and
OF corrupt cabal which he had summoned around him
was utterly repudiaed Then the in power began to
see that heywere dealing with free and intelligent peo
pie, and not with Of ignorant and corrupt slaves
Then committees Of investigation began to rise up be-
fore the in power but even that vision did not de-
stroy the insoence Of power It served only to induce
the friends OF the cabal 10 make second effort to dupe
and mislead BY repeating their violated promises OF mod
Grafton and forbearance The field was not entirely lost
and effort was made 10 retreat to the noparty platform
which had been abandoned after the 4h OF March
To effect that object the organ OF General Taylor
nounced that he wished TO maortes in Congress
which the people did not wish send and that he had
objects to accomplish by party votes. But the trick
was stale. and the effort at deception did not succeed
The people that inefficient and vindctiye cabal
had been intrusted with the presidential functions,
and that under its direction party animosties had
been increased in bitterness and violence. They
that the administration had made deliberate war upon
the characters Of those who differed with the mem
bers Of the cabal, and that the power and the
authority of the government had been arayed against
private reputation. They saw that an electioneer-
ing agent, receiving eight dollars day from cor
uption fund, had been laboring assiduously in the
presence OF the cabinet to deceive the people Of the North
and Of the South and to bride the people Of Indiana with
promises Of official emolument into the support Of General
Taylor They that the personal organ of the Presi-
dent had used every possible MEANS except candor and
fair dealing, to gain congressional support II had at
tempted brbe Pennsylvania by high duties, and the
people Of the Mississippi valley by river and harbor bill
Seeing these things, the people not to be deceived
second time BY noparty pledges Of moderation and for
bearance and subsequent events have vndicated their
wisdom. The men in power have shown respect for
the limitations Of the constitution for they have pulled
down and set up government in California, and have
made promises to her people which can be redeemed
only by the national Legislature; and by filling the
public service with Ignorant inefficient and corrupt
parsans they have endeavored break down the demo-
cratic policy which they dared not assai before the people
The organ Of the President has gone far in obedience
to the nsoence of power that it has discarded from
its party members Of Congress, who would not sup
port the administration candidate for the Speakershp-
advocate of the Wlmot Proviso il has abused with
foul ephes the Speaker chosen by the House OF Repre-
sentatives; has assailed with low scurri,y prominent
members Of the Senate because they did conduct the
business of that body in accordance with the executive
wills and for days past has denounced majority OF the
peoples representatives factionsts, because they do
not, the instant satisfy the pecunary demands Of Mr.
Meredith, and because they wish to place limits
the corrupt and corrupng extravaganza of the admins
tation. But theme is too fruitful; and post
pone another time some further examples of the Gin
science OF office"
