1.-THE Union marks Mr.. Everett as a
leader, if not the leader of the Wing party.
No better, purcr, more accom- plished states
man no tirmer patriot--no truer American
republican, can be found in the country
We would willingly see him heading the whig
phalanx. In hisjudgem ent, discretion sound
ness, and liberal yet conservative sentiments,
we have great confidence. 1t is fortunate
for the country that such man is in the ma
tional councils Even his political opponents
must respecthi character, admire his talents,
and do justice to his integrity. We believe,
that the Democrat ic party, themselves, are
pleased that Edward Everett, is in the Sem
ate of the United States--for the sake of the
country.
