The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1852-04-16
Coalitions.

We stated yesterday the evidence which the columns
the Southern Press afforded Of the shameful prostitution
d its influence to combinations intended to secure il
lHtion Of the public printing. We were not then ap-
ed that its principal editor had personally proposed 10
he committee coalition to this effect and had
he democratic party with the vengeance OF what he
rned the southern rights party should the Washington
uoa be elected the printer This fact was stated by
Memorable member from Kentucky, MIR. Stanton, who
n@d the Printing Committee, in yesterdays debate and
fSr admitted by the other members of the committee
ihen ont that the Southern Press, whose chief
hsness II has been, since the OF the seq
hon OF Congress- to circulate through the country exag
Eated accounts OF the enormous plan which was on foot
plumber the treasury in order to make party organ
ont Of the Washington Union has been itself endeavorng
commit the very act and stands elfconvcted OF the
oagacy attributed TO others Bat this is not all Under
se preences,ths organ OF the aboonists and dsunon-
n has forward the advocate OF State rights dem
o, and has had the eronery tell the committee that
areusa to comply with its demands would be resented by
such democrats We say that this false preence
because appears from this debate that Colonel Orr Mr.
Woodward and other members have been opposed TO the
employment Of the Southern Press, and would not sus-
tain il connected with the public printing
We subjon below the remarks Of Mr.. Stanton and
Nh. Woodward this subject, which establish beyond
question this profigate attempt of the Southern Press
bret to deceive the committee, and then TO effect its purpose
ofproscribng the Washington Union. Even the Hon.
Mr. Brown, OF Mississippi, who, in the debate OF the
ih inst, eoquently acclaimed against prescription,
and who declared that the Southern Press reflected the
eminent OF thousands and thousands of democrats in
he South, to have been struck with establishment
the effect Of his logic when applied to facts as they
ned. In the debate on yesterday he declared that The
Shtrn Press no, his organ, nor did he know that IL
Sa' the organ Of anybody II too apparent that there
had been no prescription except that originating in the
party which has denied to the Washington Union its or
aodoIy when advocating the democratic cause as ex-
pounded and enforced by its old sages and paots-a
prescription which, il carried out can bened, none but
hose who bent the defeat OF the democratic party
there be bitterness in this cup OF prescription and CO.
alton, le, those who have commended ii to the Wash
ing'oo Union empty il they may II is not the kind
dnnk which We have prepared for others or for our
selves Nor is the fault il the pretence OF the South
I'm Press that it has been endeavorng to advance the
interests Of The South, turns out to be ridiculous its
championship Of State rights Its uaior editor up to the
U'e ne came to Washington, was the editor OF wing
Ape' 10 South Carolina employed in teaching fedora
'Ooes 10 The Inhabitants OF that State rights State Its
'O' editor would not for long time even wear clothes
"Ae Oh the products Of slave labor, and as late as
'eNe years ago voted against law prohibiting the
