The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-08-10

The seward aud FiIiusors Ce~ihsAos.
The organ of the administration, having fully commit
-. ;,.s ia favor Of The recent coalition framed Al
bsny. finds itself in dilemma. The wings OF the North
constitute large majority OF the wings OF the Union,
and the administration has been forced to succumb to the
anti slavery sentiment which controls the action OF the
northern wings. When the hour OF trial came, there
was hardly show OF resistance to the will Of VIM II.
Seward The exigences OF party ecpsed and obscured
the ubc interests that the eyes OF the men IN power
could not see them The organ OF the administration
attempted TO Justify their setude to party by defending
the surrender to the higherlaw men but ITS defence
has been exposed in all quarters The pleasure expressed
BY Thurlow Weed and the New York Tribune at the
copsummation effected at Albany even more damnng
than the structures OF the democratic press.
We have yen,ured to utter few words touching the
erecious alliance which love OF power and the emo-
uments OF Office had brought about We even had The
hsrdihood to set forth the intent and meaning OF the
marriage articles and portion OF the people, to com
ment on the course OF the official organ and TO ask GER
tain questions relative to the opinion which the Pres
dent and the administration entertained of the Albany
arrangement The Republic, finding itself in indie
fensbIs position throws itself its dignity, and shrinks
from discharging hard task by pretending that have
not spoken OF in terms OF sufficient respect This is
an old ck-not entitled even to the virtue of originality.
We have seen played, better than the Republic has
played it, by little boys, when finding they about to
lose game OF marbles. The organ, having said enough
to command the commendation OF Mr. Seward and give
Official sanction 10 the dangerous coalition with higher
lavish which has been formed Albany, remembers
tina, there is southern wing party thai, does not fully
a.. xtpfM Mr. uord
licai creed 1t therefore wishes drop the subject for
fear that Mr.. Toombs may not be the only southern
whT whose eyes may penetrate the thin and hreadbare
veil which the designs OF the administration To
justify its conduct pretends that it's official dignity has
been offended. II says that have characterized its
Arguments a. shallow sophis,ry." and animated that its
answers to certain questions may contain 'shufing eva
sons"
The history OF party politics cannot furnish more acrd
and malignant denuncatons than TO be found in the
wing press. When democrats have been in authority,
or candidates for public posts, the vocabulary OF
Billingsgate contained no terms too coarse for the
tongues of wing orators or the pens OF wing edi-
tors The best of their day and generation
men who had rendered the most eminent services to
their couny-have been vilied TO the utmost because
they were democrats. Even their wives and children
have been abused and ridculed in the most shameless
manner The wife OF General Jackson was driven 10
m untmey grave by the denunciaons Of the wing press
and, even while preaching up no-partyism, the wing
press denounced the wife OF General Cass for charta
bly, giving from her abundance to aid the suffering poor
in her neighborhood But when the wings fill the high
places Of power, change comes DER the spirit OF their
dream Immediately the scales fall from the eyes OF
the whig party, and they see sancufying dignity
in Official poeilon. 1t is then species OF treason 10
complain OF the acts OF in authority, and great
scandal for the people question their servants or TO
comment on their wrong practices. We have no
patience for such conduct, and words Of respect
to uss in speaking OF it Men in authority, even il
they belong to the federal whg Seward party,
wants Of the people; and portion of the people,
mean speak OF their acts and sentiments uttered by
their oans in such the facts justify and our
sslf-respect sanctions.
The Republic. while evading in the manner and form
we have mentioned above, direct answer to the two
simple questions popounded to it, yet admits enough
for our purposes II says OF the action of the Albany
conference in this iaudabe purpose the whgs Of Nep
York haze The cordial prayers Of every wig throughout
the Union for their success" We cannot but regard this
declaration equivalent TO the assertion that the Presi-
dent and cabinet least fully sanction the Albany
der by which the whs party of the North has become thor
oughy sectonazed, and been given to The guidance
and control OF w H. Seward and his higher-law phaanx
Bu, what becomes of The southern wings, with Mr.
Toombs at their head Does the Republic TO init
mate that Mr. Toombs uiters cordial prayers for the
OF the Albany movement II knows well enough
that be does not The organ OF Mr. Fillmore, therefore,
reads Mr. Toombs out Of the wing party for denouucins
H. A. II AZ
Toombs, Stephens, Morton, Owen and Cabe out of the
wing party in December, s4e. because they would not
support Robert C. Winthrop "a free soile Speaker OF
the House Of Representative
We have more TO say on the topics have touched,
but we must wait more favorable opportunity to
say it.
