The daily union., 1852-10-27

The Scott party is just now in most inexireabls
dilemma. They almost 10 be worthy OF serious
attack. They are already half self-sacrihced. We al
lude their udicous position on The qaession o
native Amercansm la order to rally the vote OF adopt
ed citizens upon Scott they embarked in grand cam
paign OF aduation of those voters. Scott exhausted
himself in blarneying their rich brogue." Greeley al
most forgot his own identity in praising them, and
Seward. Robinson. and Weed hailed in every citizen
Irishman German II was amusing 10 notice the
sweet voices raised all in chorus for the children Of
every land who have sought in this country an asylum
and home.
The amusing aspect of the case was to see the
cool and contemptuous attitude OF The adopted citizens
themselves. They positively refused to be humbugged
They had minds OF their own, memories OF their own,
and they knew and reeoeced that their old historical
friends. who had never deserted them in sunshine
storm. were still alive as devoted and as firm as ever
The shower OF compliments from their vary recent foes
fell upon them like many snow-hakes in river "a
moment seen, then gone forever" Still the green Gree
eys and the raning Robinsons fawned and faered un-
iii. in the midst Of their nauseous idolary OF who
espised them. the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana broke upon them. The smoke OF the battle in
each has passed away and the first objects missing in
the Scott lines are the hoped-for wings made out Of
adopted citizens The field is covered with dead wings
and the most expert marksmen in the democratic ranks
out TO be the very rshmen and Germans recently
and loudly landed. But this is not the worst OF it,
While praisns the Irishmsn and the Germans, and ma.
king nothing by that notion the Seward leaders find, TO
their sorrow that they have lost their old allies the
ves So that for vanly paising the former they for
get and forfeit the support Of the latter
In this crisis wha, is to be done! No man lives who
charge the democrats with having bid for the native
American vote. The wings lose by their folly. We
gain by their loss 1t will not do, them to say that the
democrats produced the detection among the natives ;
for the wings have learned to their that the adopt
ed citizens neither swallow their sweet words, nor be
eve their reckless falsehoods But what is TO be done
The election day approaches, and there is anmuni-
ton ready. There are not votes enough. Repudated
by the adopted citizens and deserted by the natives, who
believed in whig professions to the former, the eleventh
hour expedent Is TO try and cheat both This is hard
task but il is about TO be attempted First, they
TO ask the Irish TO forget all the abuse and
all the injustice they have suffered at the hands OF Gen.
eral Scott; and next they are to mesmerize the ma
tves, 10 get them TO believe that all the whig
compliments Of the adopted mere hoax. Hereto
fore the difference has been that the adopted have
believed what the wings desire the natives to
agree 10. The Irish and the Germans believed that
General Scott acting the hypocIiie when he
praised them so loudly The natives believed he was
sincere So that the whig ricksiers gained nothing on
The side, and lost everything on the other. Now
they will try 10 the natter and if only they
get the adopted citizens TO take Scos faery Gospel
truth, and then induce the natives TO agree with them
that his whole effort is simply hypocrtical the thing is
done Meanwhile it is edying 10 the vain and dis
gusting efforts OF the wings TO get out OF dilemma
which is The result OF their own dishones, doube-deal.
