Thorough Union or the Democratic Party in
- Congress and th9ou ghanf the q aunfrx

Congress- and throughout the ountry.
II we ielt disposed to accept the recent vote OF the
Two branches OF Congress In the election of public
printer q tribute to our personal desetvings il would
constitute abundant satisfaction TO larger vanity than
ours We need not repeat how grateful that vote was
to our feelings. how warmly we appreciated the
many indnesses OF our political friends, who persevered
IN hemds of obstacles and excitements in carrying the
measue to successful conclusion Our best reply this
marked and decisive expression OF confidence will be found
the ZEAL The force the consistency and the constancy
with which, in these columns, shall advocate the
cause and tt candidates OF the democratic party of the
republic. The sole and exclusive editorial control of
the Union will remain with its proprietor; but arrange
mens to enlarge and strengthen its editorial depart
ment have bees completely and il will not be our
fault If we do not make it worthy OF the wishes
of all our {Fiends, and equal to every emergency
that may arse. To this end, it is our purpose to
conduch with fearlessness and with dignity and 10 de-
vote ourselves with vigilance and with ygor 10 the mo-
mentous contest in which the democratic party is now
engaged. a.ast
/ But thedeveopment most auspicious OF great national
advantages 10 the democratic party and hence TO the
country at large, manifested in the election Of public
printer by he democratic party of Congress, the
spirit OF coner Of conciaton, and of brotherhood in
which il was ctnsummated, 1t was the first unmsake-
able sign of ere cordali,y among our political friends
in the national legislature that has been manifested
since the commencement Of the session Herein lies the
chief value ofthat election to the great organization led
by franklin Pace and William X. King for it would be
uncandid if MT untrue, to deny that the democracy in
Congress met December last with than one rank
ling iIrationto disturb its harmony The adoption Of
the measures of Adjustment had not been secured
without effort involving a conflict in the opinions
entertained by democrats in both extremes Of the Union
Though tie majority, decisive and commanding j,
was stoo by the Compromise hll il was completely
established it was not an agreeable or hopeful
prospect b see any portion OF The country or of the
party dissatisfied with the ISSUE The most gloomy ap-
prehensioH entertained in consequence. The first
great toxin of approaching democratic victory the
nomination OF franklin Pierce by the union OF the Amer
lean democracy in national convention assembled Those
who had revousy stood aoof from the old time honored
organization then came back with renewed affection for
democratic principles, and in the true spirit Of democratic
fra,erny. The country the spectacle of re-
united democracy-and saw, too that the day OF its
perfect ieascendency was close at hand. The wings
saw II, and could not fail TO read in the solid and
sered ranks OF the democrats the significant presage OF
lher ows overthrow. Before this example dissen-
sous were hushed; personal gries forgotten; per-
sonal annosties were buried; and, finally, when the
democracy in Congress faithfully reflected the ear
mes, good feeling that had been restored 10 the de-
mocrac, out OF Congress, and cordially united AT the
close the session, the last apprehension of disaster
to our faith and TO candidates vanished--let US
hope forever.
Wesay THIS The moral OF the action OF the demo-
cratic party in the national Legislature in the selection
OF public printer and although some worthy can
dda, might have been chosen receive the high trust
con6ed to u.s. the value OF that example OF the repre-
senaives OF the democracy could not be high
more ,caculable for its national bearings than is
weshall coaduct this journal, therefore, by the light
OF ha example We shall adhere closely those great
PRINCIPLES defined and enunciaed by the delegates OF the
natioral democracy. We shall emulate the wise and
prude, counsels OF candidate. who recognises no
sections great organization, and stands upon the
broad platform OF mperishable creed, following the
path Of duty because il is the path OF principle and
cepns the nomination conferred upon him not alone
an honor TO himself, but above all, the sign and the
seal Of reunited and therefore invincible, democracy.
