"The notion of keeping up Union party as
distinct from the Democratic party, seems to be
entertained, out Of Georgia, by none others than
Whig politicians The few Union Democrats
elected to Congress from other States no sooner
reached Washington than they resumed their
connexion with the great body of the Democracy.
In no other States than Mississippi, Alabama,
and Georgia has there been a Union party formed.
In the latter alone seems it likely to be kept up"
The Nashville Union says:
" From the indications that greet us from all
quarters, we feel warranted in asserting, an
established fact, that the Democratic party Of
Tennessee, and of the entire Union, will go into
the next national election unit upon the subject
OF the compromise measures.
We do not wish to be understood as saying
that the Democratic party is destined to unite, as
one man, in an unqualified approval of the ab-
stract merits of the compromise measures. We
do not anticipate any such event. We know
that it is quite impossible and we have never yet
met with a member of the party who looks to
| such a consummation. Those who 90 farthest
| in their support of the great adjustment would
deprecate any attempt to make laudation OF 1t,
as doing full justice to the South, party test
Such test, while it could by no possibility be
| OF advantage to the compromise or the party,
would have the effect to ALLEVIATE from us many
honest and patriotic Democrats who are now
ready to forget the past and, for the veal of the
country and the harmony of the party, unite in
sustaining the great adjustment as ii Is, without
recurrence to its original merits. Such men are
convinced that renewed agitation will not benefit
the South, while it may lead to a disruption of
those national ties that are dear to every Demo-
crat in the Union. With this conviction they are
ready to harmonize for the future, and take their
stand once more in the ranks of the national De-
m Va araa auraf fhara 10 M frinpd Of the
compromise who desires to repulse such men by
requiring of them an unqualified approval Of
measures which they have heretofore condemned.
"The whole party agree in saying that by
cones should be by-gones, and past differences in
individual opinions should be overlooked for the
sake of peace and harmony. Certainly there can
be no installing spirit like this 1t offers to
make no sacrifice of principle, nor does it require
such sacrifice. 1t asks but a truce to individual
sentiments for the peace Of the country and the
harmony of the party
"We repeat, then, that there is no desire, here
or elsewhere to make approval Of the abstract
merits of the compromise measures as test of
orthodoxy in the Democratic ranks The general
view in which all members of the party seem to
be agreed is, that these measures shall be regard
ed a definite settlement Of the slave1y question.
ave are grdtifed to see that the Democracy Of
alabama are gioing no countenance TO the idea Of
organizing regular OntoR party. Ihere ls not
the slightest necessity for such an organization.
The Democratic party is the Union party--a bet
ter there is no need of. When that party deserts
its ancient principles, and cherishes no longer
the memories of its great chiefs, then danger
may threaten the Union, and a Union organiza-
ton be serviceable. But, as we never expect to
see that time, we have no hesitation in pronounc-
ing the idea of Union party to be all fudge. 1t
is only sly attempt to dismember the great De-
mocratic party, and the members Of that party
should be on their guard against it."
