The Madisonian. (Canton, Miss.) 1850-1855, 1850-03-28
Aware that The aUNi0y" is The sole

organ at the seat Of government Of the
great democlalic party which repre-
septs The people Of the United States
moi only II principles and sentiments
but also III numbers. the undersigned
viii endeayor 10 conduct ii in that liber-
al and catholic spirit which the true
interests oftheir country and party de-
mand at their hands. They are not
blind to the fact that a republic 81 ex-
tensive asthis, and embracing such q wide
range Of laurude and climate, different
interests and different institutions must
spring up apparently conflicting with
each other, bui, in reality each contrib
uting to 4 E advancement Of the whole.
This apparent conflict Of interests and
institutions Of course give rise TO senti-
ments and opinions a apparently d.
verse, but which, rightly understood.
and under Just restraint, can do no in
jury to each other. With regard to
these conflicting sentiments and opini-
ons, growing out Of local causes and
institutions, Il will be the object Of the
undersigned not to interfere exceptto
incuIcate concession and Eorbearance on
all sides and to secure to each the just
projection which the constitution pro-
misses.
Our endeavors will be to unite all
The elements ofthe democratic party IN
support Gifts common principles and in
an effort TO regain its ascendency
which has been last BY the mistaken
trust and confidence which some IF its
members have reposed IN . man, now
occupying the presidency, who had
gained high military honors in q noble
and patriotic cause, and who, in order
to attain the highest civic honors, made
promises and pledges which he has
from mcapseiiy 10 fulfil his duties, or
from intentional design grossly violat
ed, thus betraying to The enemy those
who con6de in him and bringing dis
grace uponthe Presidential office.
In carrying out these purposes and
intentions. the undersigned feel that
they shall stand in need If the active
and energetic co.opetation and sup.
port of the undivided democracy ofthe
country. The party IN power has secu-
red its asccndency by a frand,upon the
people, and has most shamefuIly violat-
ed all the pledges which it made TO at
tain power. 1t will endeavor to main
tain its ascendaney by the same IN.
scrupulous means.
1t is the party representing the for
eign sentiments and principles now ton
openly prevalent in this country, and
which are al war with The principles
of our government and with popular H.
herty. 1t is the party which always al.
lies itself with every foreign enemy
with which uur country may happen To
he al vaviunce. Il is the party that es,
poused The canse OF Great Britain in
the wal of 1912 and leagued with
Mexico IN the wal Of 1845. Soundpo-
%litical morality, fidelity to republican,
principles and that spirit Of true patri-
otism which eve frowus upon treach-
cry to ones country require that this
party shall be expelled from the power
which it has gained by such ~reprehensi-
I'ble means and is now exercising for
such unjuslifable ends, And in this
great work we invoke the energetic and
untIring aid of every patriot and every
friend to popular liberty and free gov
eminent, assuring them that we shall
endeavor not IN be wanting in honest
efforts To accomplish that part of the
work Of reform which may devolve on
rs.
But while the "Unlon" will lie main.
ly devoted to politics, it will not over.
look the demands of the domestic cir
Gle. 1t will contain all The important
news Of the day, and devote a reasona
BILE portion Of its columns to matter Of
interest relating to science, the arts,
and general literature.
