The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-10-18

W. have been most singuary unfortunate if the great
BODY Of our readers ID the South have been left il
doubt IS the views which have guided US as the editor
The Washington Union, anxious to reune the demo-
cratic party on its ancient platform Ia the suboined ex-
tract from the Montgomery Advertiser. seems TO be the
Though, OF The editor that one have opposed the
|ou becoming wing; for such is the logic of the
article when il deduces from the division OF parties in
Georss and Mississippi obligation to call the support
In Of Messrs Cobb and Foote wings because they
have sustained the Compromise as settlement OF the
Aavery question The is in the premise which as
Sumes that The Compromise is wing measure, and
hsi to sustain it is to oppose democratic prncipe-a
mss which violates the history Of that measure, and
oes equal injustice TO the who carried ii through
Congress- as we'll as to the objects which determine its
party character. Union party was formed in Georgia
md Mississippi because southern rights party first
put in motion which endangered the Union This lat
er party, by taking new name, committed the very
bin which il charges upon the Union party. II was not
against democracy that the Union party was forned-it
w,s not any principle doctrine Of the democratic party
hat was denied or questioned; but the assumption
M denied that a case existed which justified a

not 10 be remedable by the constitutional powers Of
khe government The Nashville convention was the
tua Of sectional party announcing the purpose Of
sssing wrongs inflicted by the Compromise, claiming
hs right OF State to secede from the Union at her
MEASURE, and the duty Of all the co States to main
hin this right. If it were not acknowledged by Con-
rsss. or il the redress demanded by the South was
o yielded by the northern States Ii is not, therefore,
be- fault OF Messrs Cobb and Foote that they are where
hey are-ia opposition to Messrs Mcdonald, Qutman,
nd Davis, who have right TO make creed for demo-
rails, whatever may be their right 10 make new south
party by the name OF State rights, any other

ounced Gen. Jackson because be did not admit the right
South Carolina to nullify the laws in 1892 but his
ponens did not therefore become democrats, although
