The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1852-10-23

The meeting at Philadelphia of such men as Moses
Grinnell and Simeon Draper OF New York, and Trumal
Smith and Filz Henry Warren OF the National Whii
Committee was called, il is not doubted for the purpos'
of collecting money 10 buy votes and influence. The
two New York leaders adopts at this business and
are said be able TO command heavy OF money
while the two latter known for their reckless disre
gard OF all the OF honorable political warfare
The frauds the caumnes and the machinery OF msrep-
resentaon set in motion in Washington, and used until
within few weeks past, have proved TO be bad IN
vestment for these desperate managers OF the Scott party
Every OF their inventions has been promptly and
SO mercessy exposed, that thousands oil voters have
been compelled TO condemn their own party and TO turn
away from Gen Scott Not one OF their base coins has
passed current they have all been nailed the counter

have been detected and denounced by the leading advo

the wide. spread alienation from Scott that is being
exhibited to the world.
Bankrupt them in all the resources of fair and almost

be dsbursed il was in 1874, by constituencies par
sans in the employment Of abandoned emissaries. But
we believe they will fail well in the contributions
in the anticipated results from their expenditures
The merchants will not pay TO keep up the agitation Of
the slavery question, and TO injue themselves that they
may help Seward and Truman Smith
The ship-owners will not pay 10 keep up party hostile
to liberal laws and extending commercial relations.
The Fillmore men will not pay to help in an admins
traon OF which the inspiring element would be their
own most unforgiving foe
Even The office holders of the government who have
been addressed and pressed for money by the Seward
leaders, will resist that which is double loss 10 them
selves-payng tribute 10 hopeless cause, and giving
evidence to be used against themselves when General
Pierce is chosen.
The men who wager money upon elections will not
contribute to break their own heads and to impair the
"fYed fact" and the absolute certainty OF the election OF
the democratic candidate
But il must not be forgotten that this is the dark
hour of the canvass to the Seward leaders. Dem
ocrats must remember that drowning men catch at
straws and that the coward, when driven TO corner,
will hight Tor his lie. SucD men as now eau Tue Seott
forces are accustomed TO desperate ventures. Their
whole political existence, locally and generally, is saked
upon the triumph Of General Scott Failing in that they
fail al once and forever His defeat is their destruc

passes from the stage Of politics back TO his own appro

stage OF action and the demagogues OF localities and OF
factions, the willy inventors OF falsehoods, the cunning
alchymss who excite peiudices to build up ianacisms,
will sink into insignifcance from the want OF
vocation.
All this the Moses Grinnels, the Truman Smiths,
the Fig Henry Wauens, and the Simeon Diapers know
full WELL They iremble at the approaching realization
OF their apprehensons, and they will labor hard and
strike deep TO themselves from the impending ruin.
We again invoke our friends to stand fast by their
standard Above all, let them keep strict watch
upon the desperate experiments OF the common enemy.
Money is their last resort, and they expect TO make i
