The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1854-07-13

So each State and neighborhood will have fre-brand
thrown into Its midst for it matters not to our fanatic
and desperate foes how the general conagaton is effected
if so be that il be made general In many States the
quiet and cunning mode Of attempting TO strike
down the true and patriotic in whom the people have
rightly oonfded and in whose hands institutions and
popular rights always safe is freely resorted to- For
months this has been going natural that the re-
and aposate should always be the most un-
scrupulous and vindctve in his warfare against those who
refuse to follow him in his and apostacy Hence
those States where of late there have been deserons
from the democratic camp the dcserters remorseess in
their assaults upon their democratic colleagues and former
friends who stand firmly and boldly by their mehonored
faith
The East and the West exhibit at this time striking
illustration Of these views In New York. the admin
israton is assaled by the abotionists of every hue
because it approved of the Nebraska bill and
by those who claim par excellence to be the friends
of that BILL because-no one can tell why. In Mis-
souri, Benton leads the opposition, for reasons known
to the whole country just in Congress he has led the
opposition this the bill to increase the navy the
Nebraska question and the Gadsden treaty We have
looked in his organs ascertain what platform he
has erected but in vain denounces the Catholics with
States behind the age and the jury SYSTEM breaches abo-
lton doctrines in their most destructive FORM vles the
South and openly upon religion and morality An
other filled with empty audatons of Col Benton and his
Thirty Years View personal abuse of the President and
nearly every member Of the cabinet and of the democratic
members of the Missouri delegation. As the Hon. John s.
Phelps is candidate for reelection in his district and as
he has for himself high national reputation by his
eminent and efficient services in the House OF Representa-
ves during the last eight years he is truehearted and
unwaverng democrat sound in principle experienced in
council and fearless in action and above ALL suppose
because he is Jealous friend Of the administration the OPP
position in Missouri under the leadership of Benton
ove-zeaous in their efforts to defeat him. He is the dem
ocrac in his district and to the Benton fac
ton the task general dsorganaton specially allotted
in the West it abors with peculiar to break down the
democratic organization in that State by beating the
nees Of the party il possible We highly pleased at
the denomination of Mr. Phelps because the country needs
his services his old post in the House. where he has long
been known as one of the Industrious attentive
handwriting efficient sagaciou and statesmanke mem
bers Of that body and the democrats Of his district
it to themselves the democratic party Of the whole ma
ton and to the country his return to his present
post which he ably fills They to themselves and
the country Also prevent that portion of Missouri from
being instrumental in forwarding directly Indirectly
the coalition schemes to which we have referred.
To meet and overthrow the factions which sprnging
up to check the dscord which reckless agaors labor
ing to nce roll back the tide Of ruinous sentiments
which they pouring upon the country to uphold the
constitution the Union cherish sound principles
protect the constitutional and just rights of each and every
State promote the good of ALL and vindcate the national
honor the task devoved upon the democratic party and
under the present administration it will be its mis-
sion In many aspects the present contest is like that
through which General Jackson passed. when faction reared
its head rebellion and anarchy threatened and it
was proclaimed that thousands should march down Penn
sylvania thunder at the doors of the White
House their indignant demand for recharter of the Uni
ted States Bank. Panic-makng and agitation recnr pc
heels of detection in the democratic party, and
quent coalition among its opponents old and Our
party however, has often wstood such shock when de-
serted by greater than any who have passed
the enemy during the last four years and it with
stand it firmly and triumphanty ever. Just SO
the quiet the troubles coming from the
agitation of uneasy politicians they will restore peace and
schemes they have often done in days gone by The
coalition issues should be fully in all their length and
BREADTH in every State and the affiliations Of the faction
lists of every huetheir design and tendency cx
posedthey should he suffered to dodge from any of
their issues.
