The Journal Of Commerce comes down !
handsomely and gives up this great Union
party movements The whole thing has fat
ted out, even sooner than we anticipated. |
The miserable humbug of disunion, that
hatched out the conception, was vile
wing trick, to give the leaders of that
party a chance to escape from the sec-
tional parties they had eIgendered to get
power!! We proclaimed this from the first,
and set our foot against any such whig
trick, and 10! and behold !! the whole turns
out just as we expected.
This is another warning TO democrats to
never be deceived by the false lights ofied-
eralism-never go off in a panic-never
get up the Few schemes of new men to car
ry out old and long tried principles Of the
democratic party. that have withstood all

Dssanion! The thing was an infamous
eonception-impotent in conclusion, and
scarcely frightened the old grannies of
whiggery, that thought to make their for
tunes out Of it, by formiag "Union party"
Thank God, the hour of temporary trial
is past, and the great democracy Of the
Union will be as they always have beer, the
only Union party the only party of free
dom and progrsss-the real defenders of all
mems rights, and the lasting enemies of old
blink-eyed owlism, called conserratism-
the doers Of evil and the enemies Of correct
ing wrongs. Let the wings change their
name again, and start on new platform,
but let democracy be democracy now and
forever. Let State rights be STATE rights,
and national rights be national rights, and
the machinery Of government will work az
gloliously as it ever has done.-Statssman
No democrat, we trust, ever supposed
that the efforts TO establish 4 Union party
party based upon solitary idea, without
principles, could prove anything else than
miserable abortion. But it i. a great
pity to have the thing spoiled so soon, for
it promised to be of great advantage to fed
eralism, in covering up under its patriotic
professions the feculent sorruptions Of the
Wing party. Their opposition to their
country in her struggle with a foreign pow
sr; the sectional strifes and jealousies which
they had engsndered in order to gain pow.
er and place; the descent of their Galphin
hordes upon the Treasury, and their total
abandonment of their professed principles
had won for whiggery an unenviable repu-
tation and they were fitted for the great
change for which the state of the public
mind formed a pretsxt. Clay, heretofore
the idol and embodiment of mhiggery, saw
the condition Of his party; he saw its prin-
ciples abandoned and its name dirgraced,
and it was in view Of that condition that,
in bis speech at Lexington, he avowed him
self member of this new party--or, rath-
or, old party with new name But why
is the project so soon Abandoned? The
projectors had dreamed to obllterate the
old party landmarks by this move, and thus
wipe out all the wrongs, the errors and the
follies of the past; but they found the Dc.
mocracy unwilling to abandon their name
and long cherished principles, and join
hands with their ancient enemy, the Fede.

The Democracy had never been any thing
else than Union party. and they felt ne
necessity for abandoning their colors to
form union party for the benefit of wbig-
gerry; and the getters up of this move find
ing that whiggery would have toi take it
up and go it alone in the union party
move, and would make nothing by the op-
GRAFTON, now begin to abandon the project.
