eH The recent letter of Mr. Secro+o,-- ~,
to Mr.. Collector Bronson, of New York ornooSa ~
have occasioned some feeling. Mr.. Bronsor - "
Piled to it. We do not propose to go at any length
into this matter but we may state that this &c
ton between Democrats in New York and the Al.
ministration, and one with which Whiggerv b,.
nothing to do President Pierce was elected IN tbo
basis of complete and final cessation of the s,vor
agitation and we are gratifed at any steps he NAV
take to make good the pledge involved in his election
The agtators, it is apparent are now some of The
Hunker Democrats of New York and Southern
Wings; and these agitators, we undertake to say
not as friendly to the Administration as those
who are quiet and silent on the subject
The Washington Union notices in pungent but
just manner the reply of Mr.. Bronson. 1t says:
"He complains that the Washington Union has
taken sides in the contest and that it "has thrown
its weight the side of the free-soil ticket" This
assertion is unworthy of the high position of Judge
Bronson-it is unworthy of him because it is not
founded in truth. The editor of the Washington
Union can freely forgive such gentlemen as Judge
Bronson for writing free-soil letters to fee-so meet
ings in 1&sI upon the evidences of subsequent re.
formation but he has occasion himself to ask for
any such forgiveness as he never held any such
nexion with free-soil movements. He respectfully
W OuuSc LAdC DTOuSOH Is III 10 very
good position to charge fee-soil associations upon
the Washington Union. We suggest to him, also,
that it is not entirely ingenious him to call thaa
&C free-soil ticket" which was nominated by con-
vention of whom majority was sustaining General
Cass against Van Buren, IN 1S48, when Judge BroR
writing free-soil sentiments to meetings rat
flying Mr.. Van Burens nomination. We further
submit to him that it is not entirely fair in him to
,al that fee-soil ticket which there are sew
out of the ten names who supported Cass in 1913
md who have since stood upon national grounds
md who have to ask forgiveness for such letters
Is Mr.. Bronson wrote to the Buffalo-platform men in
IS49.
We cannot resist the temptation to add that it
loes conform strictly to the facts of the case
all that 'free-soil ticket which was nominatedby
convention that adopted the Baltimore platform,
md which is composed of men who are standing on
hat platform. We insist that the same grace which
las been freely extended to Mr.. Bronson and which
elieves him from the faint of ee-soilsm in by gone
lays, shall be extended to those other Democrats
Who now abandon their errors and come honestly
lpon the platform on which Mr.. Bronson placed
himself only short time before them. When Mr.
Bronson charges the Washington Union with coop
rating with free-sol papers in supporting the ticket
which he repudiates, he deliberately msrepresentS
nd misstates our position. We have denounced all
apers abolition sheets which continue to agtate
lavery and oppose the. Baltimore resolutions. We
enounce them yet, and repudiats all sympathy with
hem; they are enemies to the Democratic party,
nemies to the Administration, and are contributing
lore towards injuring both than either the Wings
+ the disafected Democrats"
