The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-11-11

South OF either party who yet hesistes TO believe that
The wings OF the northern States are party, entirely
unworthy Of trust upon the vital question OF the mainte-
nance OF the Compromise we would ask his careful at
,snon TO the declarations recently put forth by the Hon
Rufus Chose In bis speech at the late rally Of The
wings Of Massachusetts, in Faneul HALL This speech,
il il proper to say, hit the wing sentiment exactly,
received with loud acclama,ions and is published in all
The whig newspapers OF the city with the most unre-
served commendation.
The passages we quote from il should be read, in view
Of MI Choate's past and present position in his party
He boasts that he is Webster wing. He is known TO
be national wing, if there be one in Massachusetts
He bore that character in the Taylor The TWO
speeches which at that time he delivered in support OF
General TAYLOR were, in point OF rhetorical bfliaIcy
and power. the salient points of the whole wing can
vsss In those speeches he told the wings OF New Eng
land ,hat their policy was TO elect General Taylor as he
.,ooa nledxed in his Allison letter against the use OF the
veto power. and then to their numerical force 70
ots dovn their southern wing allies upon the question
of the proviso. ave PROPOSE" said he, "to aid our
southern friends in choosing wing President. and then
upon the proviso when that shall come up. vs propose
,mu,v 70 vose them doom Such then the doctrine
Of the national sOhgs OF New England, defined by
their chief and favorite spokesman.
In his present speech perceive that Mr. Choate has
in no whit changed He begins with the following par
graph in which, apart from the ad eoptandum names he
gives hmseli we recognise an efusion OF pseudo phi
ap,hropy which would sound right Enthusiastically on
the lips OF Mr.. Seward or MIR. Sumner:
For every reason which could influence honorable
man md good citizen, he led, Boston whig
Faneu Hall wing, Ichcors,l Massachusetts whig
national whig, lcheers,l Daniel Web
s,er whig ong and loud cheering,l man, in princ
pes and Ia practice aboton, antisecession, annu
i6caon operation for the Union, and then for
Ghytp-iibrfy all Gveryrre, but lbfry obtaiwed
xrdfr through AVID by the Uno [oheers its peaceable
fruit It's nobest ofsprngfcr every which could
Influence such man, he led earnestly desire
to witness wing victory next Monday"
This Just the old song he sang in 1913. He will 60
with his southern friends for the Union now for
Gen. Taylor then; and on the question Of "liberty 10
all men everywhere be is ready now "so vots them
dows" he was ready then to vote them down the
proviso! He will 60 for the Unon-or, rather, for
Union which is 10 bring liberty 10 oil everywhere
This 10 what be means when he calls himself national
administration wing, and other fine names besides.
Passing next 10 the subject Of the coalition in Massa
chusets Mr. Choate deposes the following very striking
piece OF testimony to the position and creed OF the
democratic party OF the country. both now and here
olors. In this statement will be that Mr.. Choate
follows the lead Of the address of the recent wing State
convention in Massachusetts which declared that there
was no, one single principle in between the
democratic and the soil parties in the Stale" Mr.
Choate says:
"whn, is this coalition, Were there not, unit, year

The democracy Of the country everywhere will doubt
lees receive with satisfaction this unqualified avowa by
determined opponent, OF the soundness OF the demo-
cratic party in Massachusetts and the consequent
no more than temporary. though in every way very
unfortunate and discrcd,able, alteration from all its
established principles OF party organization 1t would be
desirable 10 understand clearly from Mr. Chcatc upon

FORTH in a clear and condensed form, series OF
celent reasons why the democratic party should al
this time be supported BY every man who claims TO act
upon national grounds, and who feels that cardinal
point Of public policy AT this time is the suppression Of
further anti slavery aggression.
