Washington sentinel., 1853-12-15

When a warrior falls wounded in battle, he
should wrap himself in his martial cloak and
lie down in serene dignity. To rave, rant
writhe, and twist to gasp ont objurgation, re-
proach, and reproof is weak and womanish.
The Union, forgetfnl Of its proprety-
thrown off its balance by the only check it has
received, after several years of success and
prosperity towards the Senate a
spite and malice which exposes it's mortiGca-
ton more plainly than would be altogether
agreeable to proud and dignifed man. Has
it come to this, that the Senate is to be ar
raigned before the country on the charge of
high treason, because it did not choose to give
the public printing to the UnionG Are those
democratic Senator's, no less distinguished for
their loyalty to democratic principles than for
their lofty virtues and eminent ability, to be
denounced as factious, because they thought
fit to vote for the publisher of this paper as
public printer? The Union republishes q list
Of the democratic Senators who voted for Gen.
Armstrong and a list of those who voted for
Beverley Tucker 1t pronounces those who
voted against General Armstrong "factious
democrats"
The Union says:
The Vote for Public Printer.
"The vote for public printer in the Senate
was given by ballot, and therefore the names Of
the voters do not. appear upon the journals.
But our cotemporary of the Star processes to
have ascertained the vote and as it may be
matter of interest to our friends to know who
voted for the proprietor Of the Union, and who
against him, we extract the vote as given by
him, remarking that we are satisfied that Gen
eral James voted for General Armstrong. 1t
will be seen, according to this account, which
will be corrected by senators if it is erroneous
in other respects, that sixteen good and true
democrats and one whig voted for General
Armstrong, and that every other whig, and
every abolitionist, and nine democrats voted
against him. This vote shows two things first,
that the Union has no sympathy from wings
and. second that it has no favor in the eyes of
aboiitionists. That is exactly the position the
| Union will continue to occupy-dsvoted earn
estly and zealously TO democrati, principles
| and true democratic men, and opposed to the
bitter end to wings, abolitionists, snd sympa-
| thizinp. factious democrats. If the following
| vote. with the correction we have made as to
| General James, as given by the Star, is aequi.
! esced in by senators as correct, we shall 'eel
| authorized to make such comments hereafter
as the facts disclosed shall suggest For thu
present, we only annex the vote, repeating that
we have full assurance that Gen. James voted
| for Gen. Armstrong:
