The daily union., 1852-07-07

Il
are ready TO meet il everywhere The OF the people OF
the North neither desire the Union broken up nor
again conyused and mperled by fierce sectional quar-
REL the end OF which, il ioeseen at ALL only be found
by cropping among the PROSTATE ruins OF the constitution
urged in some quarters that General Pierces posi-
ton and record on the sectional issues commend him
rather 10 the South than the united democracy OF the
North. We reject any such conclusion. The South
knows that General Pierce is in the best and broadest
sense OF that term, national democrat, and. such
gives him its cordial support Especially does the South
favor his election, protection and escape from Sew
ardsn in the federal government But il is to
suppose that this result is jot less desirable in
the view of the South than it is in the view OF
the northern democracy. Ii is the. general desire
at the North for sectional peace which has enabled the
democratic party there TO unite for the maintenance OF
democratic policy and power In past years, and in
view of circumstances both OF public and personal
character widely different from those which exist
such union OF the northern democracy appeared 10 be
impossible Events went and circumstances changed,
and the policy OF union among northern democrats not
only iriumphed. but triumphed declaration Of prn-
fcplss made deliberately, made aboveboard, made in
good faith made in common purpose longer to
remember old estrangements and. above all, and most
to the point made in the National Convention upon prA
cpes which the democracy of the States had solemny
and repeatedly sanctioned in the almost unbroken series
of its recent State conventions all over the country.
II the fortunate destiny of General Pierce to be
found in position qualifying him to most exraor-
dnary extent, and with singular completeness, repre-
at this union of the democracy and the declared
opinions and principles which it is based. In his
record there nothing to In his political asso-
Citations there enmes to conciliae, no quarrels
to assuage. His principles known, and he was
known as who would stand by his principles; and
csc, especially in relation to the sectional issues were
the principles upon which the democracy OF the country
had united, and upon which alone it could hope TO unite
To say that this is state of things to weaken General
Pierce at the Northto say that General Scott as against
him, will be strengthened by the apparent fact that
the South in General Scott the of Sew
adism and sectional agitaton-s to say that in taking
its position for this canvass the northern democracy did
not know its mind The truth is, that with the
people of the North the issue OF sectional peace TO be
preserved by preserving the good faith of the government,
is at this time strong and popular it is at the
South.

To prevent all mistakes and misapprehension we the

making joint statement 10 our constituents respectively,
and 10 all who may take interest in the subject, that
and will not support Gen Scott for the pesi-
dency, he stands before the American people, for
| the following amongst other reasons
He obsnately refused, up the time OF his nomina-
on give any public opinion in favor OF that OF
measures Of the ast Congress known the Compromise

of paramount Importance Nor has he since his
naon decara Of his approval of those
ufes adia # the issues in Controversy
Ii is the resolutions OF the convention that nomi-
mated him clear and explicit upon this question
need but Gen. Scott In his letter of ptaoce, which
contains all have from him matter does
give them the approval OF his Judgment This he seems
sudiousy have avoided. He accepts the nomination,
with the resolutions annexed" That is he takes the

Add In the convention that conferred this nomination upon
him he permitted himself be used by the fee-soers in
that body defeat Mr.. Fillmore and Mr. Webster because
OF their advocacy of these and their firm adhe-

To Join such men, and aid them in completing their tri-

We consider Cen favori candidate OF tho
free soil wing Of whig party That his policy. IL he
should be elected, would be warped and shaped
form to their views and elevate them power in the
administration OF the government but be considered
as legitimate and probable result And believing as

the southern States, (Which we represent in Par) but
the peace and quiet Of the whole country, per-
duty OF the wewisbcrs OF the country everywhere, what
ever else they may do at least withhold from him their
support This we intend TO do.
