The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1852-07-28

Il is The dniy Of every democrat 10 give hearty sup
port to the candidates for the presidency and wee Pesi
deney They are against whom nothing can be said
and every way worthy ofthe confidence OF the nation
he ac that they are not so well known TO lame as some
others should constitute no objection with any sound
thinking man Nooriety is not always fame. The knave
often has general reputation than The more honest
man. Ia war, accident brute courage often gives
worldwide popularity aud yet every reasoning man
knows that tie hero often indebted to his modest
subaterns than 10 his own prowess and yalor.
So il is among statesmen. The modest retiring gentle
man and scholarthe student OF the close-s often less
known than be who resorts 10 clspiap and humbug who
lays egg and has the luck 10 SET the whole newspaper
press a cackling
Nor is there any error so gleat to suppose that he
who has through all the grades oil office Is necessa-
rly OF powerful intellect and superior qualihca
tons The very righteousness for office destroys all taste
Tor nobler sentiment The who has lived all his life
on treasury pap would think II mighty hardship 10 be
forced 10 hunt honest living. The example OF Gen.
Pierce should challenge the admiration OF every indie
pendent citizen. He has voluntarily resigned stations OF
which prince might be proud he has refused others
worthy OF the ambition of First Consul But. with an
ambition far above your oice-seeker, he thought
the post of honor the private station As public
he mas always been found adequate to the OCCASION
There is reverence for principle in every age Men
naturally love simplicity and pnostentaiious merit.
The true democrat may always be known. ii he be
found battling for lime with the arisocracy OF the
country He naturally despses all notions OF exclusive
ness; he is never looking out for the exclusives and
fashionables. nor thinking that true decency only
be found clothed in store goods" An honest heart
gives him bold face and he acknowledges no superior
MOI SO with your arstocrat lie is always creature OF
imitation. few he thinks greatly his superors; these
he idolzes the masses he imagnes camille; these
he desplses. lie knows nothing about equality; he in
sncYey pays court to fictitious greatness and turns
up his nose al the man oil plain manners.
Now, when the true democrat hears that Frank Pierce
is candidate for the presdencythat he is the of
plain. fighting patriotic wing of that school who ac-
knowledged no superiority, even in Gods anonted bu,
would soon have shot George the Third any OF his
tory worshipPerstha although unearned that father
made good governor Of New Hampshre-that the son
has inherited his fathers virtue and whenever tried has
never been found wantngthat in every patriotic strug
gle he has been found like his father the side of the
people and equalily-he is satisfied and cheennly gives
his support 10 the man OF his principles There is a
kind OF reflective sympathy between such hearts and the
people, Not so with your exclusive. There is not
enough OF hghsoundiDg greatness about the candidate
tie would like better anceslry-a more notorious a.
ree that the should have done something, be does
not know whatthat he should be- like Saul OF Tarsus,
head and shoulder higher than his fellows then he
would do for a king God only gives king TO such a
spirit in his wrath.
