WHICH Is uuE UNION Party ?-Since new
issue has arisen in our domestic politics, and thrust
itself by its superior importance completely over
the face OF the old rival interests of Wing and De-
mocrat; since the preservation of the Union has
become an object of paramount importance, we have
seen certain leaders among the Democrats attempt
to bring that party into credit with the nation by
putting forth claims in its behalf as the only Union
and National party. We dor profess to wonder
that so strong desire should be felt by these gen.
tlemen to nationalize themselves and those with
whom they are associated. No ultimate success
can attend party which is known to be detached
from national interests no party that is not Union
party can triumph, except upon the ruins of the
country. Even aboliti0nism is sometimes compel
led to render lip-service to the Union. while aiming
its insidious and sacrilegious blows at the object
which il processes TO revere. But let not unthnk-
ing men be deceived by these pretensions of the
Democratic party. They are utterly untrue. We
have seen certain persons en.eavor to bolster up
these pretensions by loose declamatons against the
Whig party as ant-national--never looking at home
for any marks of an anti-national spirit These ef-
forts are utterly fruitess. Every man Of common
information knows that, Notwithstanding few de-
serters who have abandoned their colors here and
there, the Whig party remains true to the ma
tiona stars and stripes, and that the only true Union
party is the Wing party. We appeal to facts. It
is we'll known what the Wings, as a party, have
done for the Union and the present National Ad-
ministration, and what the Democrats, as party
and as coalitionists, have done and are still doing
against the Union and the National Administration
On this subject we quote the following from the
New Orleans Commercial Bulletin:
The Administration is National in its character, and
cessay belongs the whole country Bot it goes into
power upon ascertained principles and necessarily has,
through them, the special support Of large organized party
by whose name may not be improperly designated The
present Administration is Wing Administration, and went
into power such. What its 6rs act The Compro-
mise languished and threatened to die out the
struggles Of Congressional factions. The Administration
stepped forward, perled It's political existence upon pa
otc movement, endangered the harmony Of its party sup
poers, rescued the Compomse measures and boldly lent its
powerful aid to push them through Congress They went
through ashe ash host passed through the waters of
the Red Sea- BY miracle, and the gallant Wing Admins
ton which had stood by them eaessy in the hroes Of
their birth, threw them their infancy its protection by
precsiming the country that II held them be final
settlement That is smother fact 10 be noted carefully.
Again Ia the recent contests in Mississippi and Alabama,
"A the past contest in Tennessee in the progressing in
Georgia, who make ard made up the Of the Union
party Whigs OF the ultra Disunion party Democrats
Look the patriotic conduct Of the Wings in Alabama,
Georgia, aud Mississippi Forming the great Of the
Union party, with fair chance Of their strength Of car
and Mississippi. they sank party in love Of country, and
surrendered political leadership and hono to the Democrats,
that they might rally possible to the banner Of the
Union.

take up. show concusvsy which is the Union party
of the country
We are enabled (says the Courier to add an
item to the facts adduced by the Bulletin for pre-
sent reference. The Democrats of Middesex
county, Massachusetts, have placed upon their
ticket for State Senators three undsgused and in-
veterate Abotionists, who were never known as
Democrats at any time in their political history,
and who now do not pretend to belong to the party
which has honored them with its patronage. The
Wings of Massachusetts never made any such bar
gain whatever. We have Democratic authority
for saying that the example Of Middesex will be
followed in every county of the State; so that in
Massachusetts, Aboi.ionism and Democracy are
one and the same thing. Let this be noted by our
Southern friends, for its evidences will be before
them throughout the whole political canvass pre-
ceding our November election. The men who
pretend to be National Democrats in Massachu-
sets are mighty in words, but in deeds they are
nothing at all. We do not believe that they could
raise corporals guard in any county of the State,
with stamina enough TO come out from the bargain
with the Abolitionists and form straight Demo-
cratic ticket.
