HNDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraitsand Biogrsphi-
cal Sketches of American citizens VINO have become
ilustrous in the service of the country Every por-
iioi, of the work will receive the most careful aten-
tion and nothing viii be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many wears engaged, at gres.
expense, collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work believed 10 be superior to any that have
ever han taken. In the Accomplishment: of this great,
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypcs are in the
highes; sense the works ot art, glowing with TIE soul
oi the living countenance.
The drawings and cn2ravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 be fully
equal aud in some respects superior 10 those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn

cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 23 'chcs, rade

This work has nothing sectional IN its scope il

he progress of American Art and by grouping the
illus,rious the Uniop together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond The reach of most of citizens the publish
ers have resolved 10 merit large circulation, by
charging a very low price. They have, therefore

sent the State, who would prefer disunion and
civil war TO any action by Congress questioning
the right Of one man to work hundred men,
without paying them wages.
The Union insists that principle, not NUMBERS
is the standard Of Democracy, and that the true
Democratic Party is that which has been SO chris
tened. That is, it is the Party which, in one Sec
ton, goes for Internal improvements, and in an
other. against them-in one State for a tariff, In
another against tin one State for banks, in
another against them-in the North, for proteos-
ing Labor against Capital, in the South, for sub
jectiug Labor to the complete mastership Of
Capital.
True Democracy is that which takes as its
central Idea, the mali1labls right Of eueTy human
being 10 life liberty and the pDsud Of happiness, and
its great principle Of action, supreme and uni
versal, the Divine command-do unto others as
ye would that others should do unto you.
All other Democracy, no matter how ancient
how popular how consecrated by great names, is
lie and deserves the anathema maranstha OF
good men.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE JEFFERSONIAN
DEMOCRACY.

The Washington Union a professcd Demo-
cratic paper, quotes with appreciation from the
Mem York Express, an avowed Wing paper, a par
agraph in reference to the arrangement between
the Old Limo and Free Democrats ia the Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts,, in reference to the cleo
tions to be made by that body, from which we ex-
tract the following sentence:
General Gushing, democrat and Union,) says
that every Democrat who votes for Free Soil
Senator, will be killed at Washington for ten
years at least"
These few words disclose the whole character of
the opposition to the election of Democrat opposed
to Slavery by the Massachusetts, Legislature.
There is body Of men, calling themselves DEM
ocrats, who desire and expect to secure the cleo
ton of President and Vice President, nominally
Democratic, but in reality servants Of the Slave
Power, by the aid Of slsveholding votes. To OBJ
tain slavcholding support, these men are ready
TO sacrifice everything that is vital orvaluable in
Democracy and to join the slayeholders in I'M
scrupulous denuncistions Of every movement and
every combination in favor of Progress and Free
dom They hope, also, through the machinery OF
party, to coerce those Democrats who have a liv-
ing faith in the doctrine Of equal rights and exact
justice for all, into the support of such national
candidates as | have described.
But forewarued is forearmedn Will Demo-
Gratis who inherit the principles and spirit of '76,
aid in the election of men who will prescribe,
when elected, themselves and their principles :
Win they vote for anybody, implicated in any
way, in this scheme Of National Guilotne, to
stand for ten years, here at Washington, for the
"killing of every Democrat who dares to "vote
for Free Soil Sena,oro-for a Senator who in
1850 svows and acts upon the principles which
Jefferson taught in 1916, and Cass professed in
ls467 No. The Jeffersonian Democracy will
teach this dictatorship, at once cowardly and ar
rogant lesson which they greatly need. They
will Kill the Killers 1t is vain to look for the sue
cess Of a submissive mercenary Democracy in
1852 The honest farmers and mechanics who
constitute the bone and muscle Of the Democratic
party cannot be bought to serve as the Hessians
Of the Slave Power. They will rally under the
banner of Democracy, not in name only, but in
truth and fact, and repudiate all leadership which
guides them either to the camp Of Conservation
over which floats the Wing banner, or to the
camp of Despotism, where the black ensign oil
Slavery ofends the air. No doubt the leaders
would willingly spare these men, II they could
They would gladly accept in their places, recruits
from Wing ranks, and require Of them no Other
condition Of admission into their d moerate 4?
fellowship than hatred Of Freedom and its advo
Gates and support Of pro-slsvery ticket Hence
the efforts to organize Union party. Hence thu
proclamation at New York by Senator Foote, O.
his new political "trinity," of Clay, Cess, and
Webster for the worship Of the new church
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1851-01-30

gence, his ospsbiity, his public services his long
tried honesty, and no matter how faithful Wing
or Democrat, he is not fit for seat in the Legs-
lature Of his State, or in Congress- He is to be
regarded and treated as political outcast
This pledge necessarily subordinates the old
issues Banks, Tariffs, and Land Distribution, on
which Democrats and Wings have been so long
divided, and attempts to force upon the public the
single issue of Slavery. This is to govern every
election from this time, until all opposition to
Slavery shall have been put down, and its OPP
ponents excluded from every Office Of trust honor,
or profit The next Presidential election is to be
controlled by it. Should the old parties succeed
in holding their customary National Conventions,
they will find themselves acting under the higher
law" of Slavery. They must pass resolves in
favor Of the Compromise measures, Of the negro
catching act, and against anti-slavery men and
movements, and select candidates fully concurring
in them. Should the Wing Convention attempt
to play the same game as was played in ls4s, its
candidate would be obliged to come out on the
Georgia PLATFORM or Messrs Clay, Toombs, Ste
phens, Webster, and their Silver Grey allies
would give their influence to the Democratic can
didate, provided he should be sound in the faith
No non-committaism is to be tolerated, even in
the hero of Vera Cruz and of the heights Of Cerro
Gordo He must obey the Law of Slavery, or be
damned and even should he doubt his position
will be no better, for the Baltimore american in
sists that the mission Of the new party is to damn
all doubters, as we'll as deners
Who now are the agitatOrs3 Who now are
thrusting the Slavery issue into State and Ma
tional politics Who now are attempting to make
the election Of the next President hinge upon this
single issue Who now are disturbing the peace
and harmony Of the Union, by establishing Sec
tional tests and sectional psrties2 Who now are
arraying the South against the North, or rather,
intriguing to secure for one odious Sectional In
terest the supremacy in the Federal councils,
and in the councils of every State, slaveholding
and non-slaveholdng.
Well, an issue thus forced upon US, must be
met We do not question the right of the new
Party to ostracze every man not a believer in the
Compromise, and the Fugitive act, and not a
friend to Slavery. Ii must not complain if, act
ing on the defensive, We ostracize every supporter
Of the. Compromise and Fugitive act, and every !
friend Of Slavery. If we must kils or be killed,
we shall certainly try to save ourselves at what
ever cost to opponents, who have boldly declared
against US war Of determination.
The People have the subject now before them.
If they choose to pass under the yoke at the COM
mand of Slavery, they may do so, but as " for me
and my house." as Mr.. Foote had it the other
day, eve will serve the Lord"-and defy the
Devil
