Things to DO Remembered.

Things to DO Remembered.
That the Union, which extolled the policy
of the Richmond junto in regard to Presi.
Dental candidates, and which has again and
again favored the belief that General PIERCE
satisfactorily answered Mr.. ScorT's interroga
| tory, has not said one word in allusion to Mr.
| ScoTT's admission that no letter has been re-
ceived from General PIERCE. The Union
maintained that the proposed pledge in supper,
Of the Fugitive Slave law was sine qua non
and yet the Union passes in silence the pub
lished admission that its own candidate evaded
and still evades, that pledge.
That the Union has not attempted to defend
or explain the vote of General PIERCE agains,
the bill authorizing citizen Of Georgetown to
bring his two slaves from Virginia into the
District of Columbia.
That the Union has shrunk from noticing the
fact that Messrs. Norris, HIBBARp, PEAsLEE,
| AVER, and CAMPBELL-its chosen witnesses
in support of General PIERoE's orthodoxy
have co-operated with the New Hampshire
Democracy in their efforts to secure the pre-
dominance of Freesoilism.
That the Union admits the genuineness of
the record presented by the Republic, proving
that the New Hampshire Democracy, through
their Legislature and their State Conventions,
have denounced slavery as a wrong and a
curse, and have been amongst the most stead
fast supporters of the Wilmot proviso.
That the Union-allhough stgmatising the
Democratic Freesoil editors of Manchester and
Concord On. H. as "outlawed knaves" because
they have revealed General PIERcE's home
| views on slavery-receives into its embrace
the Freesoil press of Ohio and Wisconsin, and
relies upon Freesoil votes for the chance Of
Democratic success in those States.
That the Union has not the courage to con-
denim the avowed intention of the Democratic
Freesol press to recommence the agitation
against the Fugitive Slave law SO soon as the
| Presidential election shall be ended
That the Union, in its boastings on the sub
ject of Democratic harmony, keeps out of sight
| the split that is known to exist in Ohio in re-
lation to the spells, the running of two Demo-
cratic tickets in Arkansas, and the undated
hostility of the Benton and anti-Benton sec
lions vi the party III MissouIi.
That the Union has not had time to correct
its own misstatements concerning the course
| of distinguished southern politicians, who have
left the Democratic party to support General
ScoTT.
That the Union does not wish to inform it,
readers that large number Of Southern Rights
Democrats refuse to be bound by the promises
| of Messrs. Forsyth and SoULE, and intend to
vote for JEFFERSON DAVIS, not for PIERCE.
| That the Union has not made any attempt
to explain the anomaly Of Democratic House
of Representatives voting harbor and river ap-
preparations. in direct opposition to the views
and votes of the Democratic nominees.
That the Union, albet the metropolitan or
gan of the Democracy, has deemed it polite to
abstain from the expression of single opinion
on the question of internal improvements as ii
now stands before the country.
That the Union has not, during the session,
afforded any clue to it's editorial sentiments on
the policy of granting land to enable the West
ern States to construct railways.
That the Union talks Of the Wing clash in
the PAM at Lundy's Lane for the manifest
purpose of Withdrawing attention from the
proofs afforded by the National Democrat, OF
New York, of the failure of the (alleged) great
Democratic gathering at Newburgh.
That the Union quotes with satisfaction the
approving terms used by the London Leader
in its comments on General PIERCE; the Union
knowing full we'll that the said Leader is the
organ of the socialists and revolutionists now
in London, and that its preference Of PIERCE
is founded on the conviction that his Presiden-
,ial term would be marked by the adoption Of
the KossurH doctrine of European Intervention
