The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-04-01

We gather from the Intorma ton of the Geor-
gia Journal and Messenger, and other papers in
that State. that there is strong probability Of a
large majority Of the delegates to the conven-
ton to be held at MilledgeviIe in April being
in favor of the maintenance " the Union party
as distinct organization. The proposal to
send delegates to the Baltimore Convention has
been secuted in all the counties vet heard
from by far the larger part Of the primary
meetings having confined their instructions to
the carrying out Of the objects Of the Union
party, without the slightest apparent dispoei-
ton to look to Baltimore for aid in relation To
that purpose.
The same feeling pervades the party in Ala
bama. A travelling correspondent of the Mo
bile .ddrcrtiser describes in strong terms the
distase entertained for the suggestion in that re-
gion, where the Secessonist and Freesoil affini-
ties of the Democracy are too well appreciated
to leave any high expectations concerning the
politicians who are to assemble at Baltimore
He says;

Of the MillcdgeviIc caucus will neither be obeyed

The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-04-01

Our Natchez contemporary omits from his
analysis the fourth fraction of the party--the
Union Democrats, who regard the Com promise
as finalty, or the basis of fnality, and are
sincerely DESTROYS that it shall be accepted and
sustained as such by the party. BY what
stretch OF cunning or conscience can the men
who cherish this opinion, and fully appreciate
the importance of its national bearings, be
brought into working order with the three other
fractions, as respectively designated? With
mo. |" it is, and always must be, in bitter
hostility, for the two occupy directly antipodean
attitudes; with "No. 2' it can have no affinity
without abandoning what it now regards as
vital principle; and oven with "No. 3" its ap-
Proclamation must be remote and doubtful.
With all the parts represented in the Baltimore
Convention, which is likely to carry off the
palm? Certainly, from present appearances,
not the Union section, encountering, as it does,
assaults from three other sections, and one of
those strengthened by the whole regiment of
Freesol and Aboitionist auxiliaries. Assuming
that the chapter of accidents turns up favorably
to the Union Democracy, and they carry out
their professions by the adoption of the Com
promise as an element of their party faith,
what will become OF the combined elements
that have taken their stand against any pro-
ceeding of the kinda On the other hand, sup
posing that the nominees represented respectively

may be pardoned to the feelings engendered by
perpetual reverses. II is an old truism that ex-
trcmes meet, and the amalgamaton of southern
ultraism with northern fanaticism in the Baltimore
Convention will be only additional proof Of the
truth OF the maxim. But for the Union party of
the South, organized for the express purpose of
counteracting the Vaccinations Of both those err
rorists to go with them into National Convention
and become pledged to support its nominees, would
be a humiliation deeper than any recorded in the

.sargent,s standard Speaker"

loo much praise cannot be bestowed upon
Messeurs. THOMAS, CowPERTHwAlT & Co.,
| of Philadelphia, for the very elegant and mas
| ter-workmanlike manner in which this vol
ume is presented to the public. 1t is very
rarely that we take in hand a volume of els
atlantic manufacture so entirely acceptable, to
many senses, as this. 1t is not only pleasant
to the sight and the touch, but it is high mega
tive commentator to say Of it, that it is a
sweet smelling book. 1t is not long since a
New York publication, of some note, fell into
our hands scarcely readable for the very stencil
of the paper.
Having, contrary to all rules, said thus much
OF the frame, let us turn to the picture. This
Speaker speaks, as never speaker spake before,
1t is entirely different thing from any work,
IN pari nloterio, ever presented to the public.
Enfield, Burgh, and Caleb Bingham, and sun
dry others, have done we'll enough in their
day; but the very boys have become heartily
tired Of proclaiming, every one Of them, that his
name is Norval, and saying, over and over,
"the lofty pillars" and ''sweet sensibility."
Some greater variety and strength, in their
meat, appears to be demanded for the rising
generation.
"Boys will be boys" is an old country say
ing; but 1t seems not to be 50 entirely true
on this side the water. Our American boys
will not be boys any longer than they are
obliged to be boys. The meagre material pre-
sented in former publications of this order is
quite unworthy ofour American youth.
Mr.. EPEs SARGENT is entitled to the hearty
thanks Of every parent for this truly excellent
and ample work of five hundred and fifty eight
pages octave. The work is executed with
great discretion, to the careful exclusion Of
every sentiment, however eloquently expressed,
not Tit to be uttered by the most fastidious
Without any neglect of foreign sources, he has
drawn freely upon our national fountains
When Bnrgh and Enfield prepared their works
such thing as American eloquence was un-
known, and if such thing existed, it was CO.
IOnial or provincial, and therefore beneath the
notice of those cautious compilers.
Whatever we get by heart in our youth, is
truly gotten by heart. We cherish the i'm
pression it is enlivened by every recollection,
and becomes precious for memory. 1t is, there
fore, sminently desirable to Impress the rising
generation with sentiments Of pure and holy
patriotism to teach them TO utter those senti.
ments with their lips to cherish them in their
warm, young hearts, and to rivet them there
forever. For this truly important object this
volume Is pre-emiDenty useful
