Our thanks are due to the democratic press. and in
instances TO the wing press for courteous greetings

months since took charge of the Washington Union
but thus far humble efforts have not failed 10 be
warded by words OF COMMUNICATION and encouragement
from those who labor with in the great OF repub
cansm feeling of delicacy has hitherto forbade US to
mention any complimentary notices OF and the fear OF
being charged with unbecomng vanity has induced US TO
close columns to praises which il would be most ridc-
ulous aectaton to deny were most grateful to u.s. The
highest reward is an approving conscience but we have
honored that dishonest stocism which preends TO
disregard all species OF praise To our mind, the highest
drawn picture of mingled pride, vanity, and concert is
presented in the of Diogenes and his tub For
oursef we do not wish TO gain name by affected hu-
miy, nor notoriety by pretending to scorn it. We
would rather play honest part and frankly confess
due share of human weakness-for without that we
would be less than human. We do not
fear misconsruction, therefore, in laying before our
readers the following article from that sterling Journal
the Boston Post, and in expressing the pleasure we expe
rence in finding our course approved IN mat quarter
the Gibraltar of federalism. and Boston
has been the prolific mother of those dangerous sectional
factions which, entering into alliance with federalism
have menaced the existence OF our glorious coniederacy
Though surrounded by abolition fanaicsm, and menaced
by federal hereses, the Boston Post has struggled man
fully against hem-dong noble warfare in the midst of
hostile and unsympa,hzing community for the ancient
and honored platform OF the democratic party We re-
peat that commentator from such quarter is extremely
cheering and without further apology we lay before our
readers the following remarks from the Post OF Saturday
leaving each to Judge for himself whether merit them
or not.

injury they have done, and doing the party by such
course, we are persuaded they would pause at least
where they discard the counses Of the who have

blessings the Union has conferred have chosen, rem
