The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-01-09


No one at all acquainted with the man for moment
believes that the appearance OF having given up the
game OF agitation is the genuine purpose OF Mr. Seward
The oil which floats upon the surface vi the water
soon be disspated the presidential election comes
and The aims of the senator from New York
are deeper than those who give him credit for nothing
Thing more than cunning Without abilities OF the FIRST
order he possesses The ambition and the patience 10
compsh all that these qualities OF themselves
mand We would say he had forude, but the word
scarcely conveys meaning II is rather endurance
OF injury not orglvng endurance but deep resou-
lion % submit IN 70 sysyhSs Sy meas Of i his par
from New York, with his apparent humility and seeming
knowledge OF his own insignhcance, little know the
boiling whirlpool which lies in his breast II is fear
OF consequences to his country, but 10 himself, which
keeps HIM quiet for let but the occasion arise, and
with energy and disregard OF consequences abso
lntey incredible he would again attempt to rsgni,e
the fires Of discord-
"I4est active colleague should gops
His way 10 doors of promise or Of hope"
The truth is. no of the sentiments stands in
Mr.. Stewards way. From Lloyd Garrison to Horace
Greeley, his path unobstructed White and black stand
aside " at the sound Of his chariot wheels" But how
long can this continue Two causes may produce a
some aspiring man may eRdeavor to compete with the
senator from New York. when the seeming quiet would
give place to storms and tempests and the struggle
would be as to who would reach the extreme Of anati
cism first. This would be its own antldote, as there
exists line beyond which the bndest OF the ag
lao!s would scarcely dare follow The other T. the for
old parties dissolve and in their place would arise
three-a Union party. which, doubtless in the end.
would be successful southern extreme party led by
South Carolina and an abolition party, composed
OF free soil democrats and wings, with the negroes
and abo!itonists of the North. OF this last comb
nation Mr.. Seward, matters stand. would
be the head and 'front.' And it is to this result,
we doubt not he is anxiously looking 1t is to obtain
this result that all his energy is directed Il is to this
end that the Tribune so grossly attacked the Union
men Of the Syracuse Convention; and it ID with the
same end in view that the Tribune keeps alive the coal
Of agitation in reference to the fugtveslave bill The
Seward wings went too far in the late canvass They
did imagine the bolters could be scouged into the
traces easily. Their fear is lest the Union men
should amalgamate with them, in spite Of Messrs Young
and Duer This they do not desire and hence the SEEM
ing quiet is relieved by slight Tue from day to day,
that, when the proper time arrives the chances may be
increased Of forcing the minority of the whg party into
Union movement for the advancement Of Mr. Seward.
The duty of the democracy s plain Stand by your
colos The hope OF our principles and policy certain i
dissolution your refuge may then be into the of
Union coalition but until then, stand by your colors
