The daily union., 1854-11-17

The reader will bear in mind in glancing this a-
ble that the American includes every member of the
Congress already elected reported in the opposition
column as sure go against the democratic party And
if this idea thing practical il must mean that all
who opposed to the democracy are united among
themselves But think shall show that that cannot
be called an opposition which has common bond of
union in its organization and that it is vain to seek
destroy the administration when those who expected
to do that work not themselves united.
Let us begin with New York Mr.. Stewards friends
largely in the majority in the new delegation
from that State. But Mr.. Seward has been engaged
during the last few months and so have his organs
in assailng the so-called know-nothings and yet
these same know-nothings claim not only to have
elected members of Congress in New York. but in other
States and included in the Opposition column
1t is quite true that of them are, like Mr.. Sew
ard indebted to abolition votes for but how far
can they be expected assa administration when by
doing SO, they strengthen William II. Seward? On
the other hand will Mr. Seward be able to carry off
svergray wings like Mr. Haven Of the Erie district in
his wild schemes against the Union He has great tact
we admit and the silver grays weak vessels but all
history shows that when differ leading issue,
they cannot combine one that is secondary In word
if Mr. Seward is ut war with kpow-nothngsm that
especial creed and s know be is the imbittered
foe of the silver-gray' wings, how he drive both
tess interests into his scheme of hostility TO the demo-
cratic party and the administration of Franklin Pierce
In Ohio Mr.. Seward expects make large gain
the present Congress- but in Ohio the wings have lately
been elected by the know-noth;ngs and ant-Ne-
braska democrats in that State willing follow
the lead Of mere abolition leader in the new House Who

to let his anEebraska feelings aer Nebraska is set
tied thing) lead him into the federal ranks?
Look next at Indiana Gentls,ep have been elected to
the Congress from this State who have been demo-
crats and who openly proclaimed their identity with the
democratic party before the late election Are these men
ready to follow Seward The bare idea s preposerous
In Pennsylvania the is still stronger The Balti-
more American gives the democrats five members in the
new Congress from that State but will not be at all
surprised if this Eve shah sye to nine Certain it is that
the ausi. Nebraska democrats from Pennsylvania not
the men that W. H. Seward can lead. Of this he may be
very well assured
These apply with equal force to all other north
ern States The first great abolition idea s that Mr. Seward
is to lead the opposition egions other
sentine his views Either this must be sofor con-
cede him the majority of his so-caled opposition-or
else there will be mead to the fusion Who, in either
event. expects the iver gr Of the North to obey abo-
on orders Who looks for submissOn to these orders
the hands of the anti Nebraska democrats Who cup
poses the know -nothngs will follow such lead And,
finally who expects the southern wings to obey the he
hess of the great northern champion of disunon sent-
Combinations may be formed outside of Mr. Sew
ard but he will rule he will ruin and he will
troll votes than any other northern leader he will
command an uncommon influence We know that politi-
cal necessities 90 far to control the votes of individuals
but conceive Of noae that will induce an-Nebras
ka democrats to follow such MASTER pr that will again
seduce national wings into his endorsement If the
kbow-nohlngs should set up organization in Con-
gress with Mr. Seward at their backs they would lose
all their hopes OF the South and if they started with
out him they would lose oil their hopes in the North
Mark it well Opposition to the administration will not
therefore be very successful unit so long it the
title of an incongruous and conflicting party
