A ScoRcHNG REsUKE The following from the
Washington Union is but well-meritcd rebuke of
those factious demagogues in the Democratic ranks
who are warning upon the administration while pro-
Tossing devoted attachment to the President and
abated confidence in him. 1t applies as well to
Burke and his followers here to similar men in
other Sttes for he and they, lacking the couraget
assa the President openly, are constantly denounc
ing members of his Cabinet and seeking to impair
public confidence in them. The Union says:
The most disreputable feature in the warfare
now being Waged upon the administration by diSor-
ganizing democrats is in their effort to keep up a
show of friendship for the President whilst they de-
nounce his cabinet with unmeasured mafgnlty.
These are the friends who smile and SMILE and yet
carry daggers under their cloaks. They are the
who are immaculate that they cannot acknowledge
fellowship with their late political associates because
they not sincere and honest in their professions
of devotion to democratic principles Each hiatus
in their denunciatons of their late associates, for
their hypocrisy and venaity, is filled up with pro-
testatons of confidence in the President and abuse
of his confidential advisers. Such mode of war
fare is! Summary and cowardy in the extreme The
President knows how to respccta chivarous foe who
unfurs his banner boldly and marches to open COM
bat; but for him who cloaks himself in pretended
friendship, and yet the setto upon his political
family he can have other feeling but one of
ereign contempt. With all the evidences of a cor
dial union of sentiment between the President and
his cabinet, it is dastardly hypocrisy in these dsor
ganzers to profess ardent admiration for the former
whilst they empty the walls Of their malignant ndlg-
nation upon the latter The President diSdains any
such dshonorable exemption from responsibility,
and freely bares his bosom and dees the steel of his
enemies. The members of the cabinet desire
empton from accountability to the people, and cheer
fully receive the blows aimed through them at their
respected chief. There is but one mind one spirit,
united and indivsibe in the counsels of the admin
istration Every attempt to divide and separate them
but draws the bonds of their union closer The spr
it which animates them is the same which warmed
the bosom and enlisted the energies of every true
democrat in the late Presidential contest They lean
brave hearts of a united democracy. So long as the
thunder tones of democratic victories come booming
in from State after State, prOcaiming the glorious
results of union in ranks, they can look with
mingled pity and contempt upon the impotent as
saults and harmless threats of few Infatuated agita
tors"
MINNESOTA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS VICTORY While
the democracy of Ohio and Pennsylvania have been
attesting their continued confidence in the great
princ pies of their party faith, brethren away
in Minnesota have been doing just the same thing.
1t is good to know that democratic principles lose
none ofther SAVIOR by ransplantng to the far est!
We find there the same confidence, energy and har-
monlouS action, which have so long characterized the
democrats of the Keystone and Buckeye States.
The result of the Minnesota election is very cheer
ing Mr.. Rice the democratic candidate for
grcssional delegate is elected by majority of over
thousand The legislature will be largely dem
ocratic in both branches. What lends a peculiar
glory to the triumph is the fact that in Minnesota
in this State the democracy were badgered and bull
baed by every fanatical fantastcalism that it
entered into the heart of man to conceive In Min
nesota, as in Ohio, the democracy were denounced
in part of the State as favorable to the Maine
law, and in another unfavorable to the same. In
section Ito cater to the Catholics they cursed
for being opposed to division of the school fund,
and in another section Cto cater to the Protestants
they were cursed with equal zeal for avoring that
But, in spite Of these tantalzing side is
sues, and the infamous Misrepresentation that flow
ed from them, the Minnesota democracy hung togeth-
er through thick and thin and won glorious victo-
~.
Three cheers for the democracy of Minnesota
