t" The Democratic Review

The Washington Union is out in some deseWedly &c.
we're structures upon the so-called Democratic Review
This periodical sound and reliable and was re.
garded with pride by the democracy generally as a
faithful exponent oil democratic principles. For the las
twelve months, however, il has been wandering in
strange and new paths II has assaed many OF the prom
inent and honored members OF the party because they
refused to subscribe its peculiar doctrines; and
seeks TO commit the party for which has right to
speak to a ne OF policy ia relation TO Cuba that would

w. that Cuba be taken possession OF by the United
Stateshat the island will inevitably fall into our hands
and il might as well be laid hold of now This the
Washington Union Justly denounces "buccaneer mo
rslity"
We are for Cuba at the right time and in the righ,
way The prize, il is true. is gsring and tempting

the superb slave still dreams IN the sun" When she
wakes 10 liberty, when others stretch forth the hand
TO obtain and WELD against this country the immense ad
vantages which her and her position afford,
then the hour for action by government will have
come. We sympathize most deeply with the oppressed
Cubans and should hail with Joy the independence Of
the island and the consequent overthrow of Spanish rule
This is the feeling, confident OF the whole Amer
lean people But liberty, 10 be enjoyed, must be won
won either in battle, in prolonged contest by the
masses against arislocratc or klngy power.
We cordially concur with the Union when it says: cit
is our ambition that the republic shall grow with the
progress of natural development and not by the spas
modc effort OF an ungovernable and destructive impulse
We wish its resources 10 be developed and lis dominion
extended not by plumber and piracy, but by honest in

abhor the buccaneer morality and reprobate the insane

DEMOCRATIC REvIEw.--The Washington Union ad
ministers to the ravng madman of the Democratic Re-
view genee dressing, the effects of which he is likely
10 feel His arrogance deserves rebuke. The Richmond
Wing is OF opinion, that in consequence OF the Unions
caustc reply there has been awful split in the demo
cratic party Now, we can assure the Wing that Mr..
Gsorg Sanders represents but atom in the great dem
ocaic family, and will wager that his rawlings
pudated by ninety nine hundreGths OF that party the
opinions OF which he affects TO be exponent. He is
harmless a DEMONSTRATING (Va) Democrat
THE WARRINGTON UsoN AND THE DEMOCRATIC Re-
vIEw-We had thought a, irst that the Washington
Union was guilty OF too much condescension in permit
ting the of the Democratic Review to appear in it's
columns blu, we are now inclined to believe that the
course pursued by the Union was proper and opporune
Many democrats might be betrayed into the belief that
the Review exponent Of their principles because
OF the name which il mpmienty assumes. The Union
expose. the fraud with bold hand and holds up TO
tied the crack Drained, half educated Missionaries
who conduct that degenerate Journal II the dead could
speak, what voice Of condemnation would issue from
the grave of the lamen,ed LangTee !-dssrandia Age.
