Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-06-02

Journal, in an article ON the 26th ult., after
some very just observations on the divisions
among the People Of the free States and the
conse quent ascendency Of the Slayeholding Oil
garchy cxtinguishes completely the force Of its
whole article, by the following paragraph in
conclusion:
"For ourselves, we believe the end OF Parties
to be--no', like Armies, to aggrandize one ruler
aud dethrone another, nor, like Churches, TO
upheld abstract creeds of flith--but to deal
directly with the practical issues Of their day
and generation. And the only way we have
ever found to do that, has been by Votfng for
men thai can be elected, and lcorking aoith par
ties that can beat So far we have not found
Freedom practically advanced one step except
by the Wing Party, with whom we have acted
for years When we find another equally
right in i.' principles, and more able and will
ing to carry them out, we will urge voters to
20 for that one"
That is--Slavery governs this country, and
ia hnrrying it on to ruin because the People Of
the FREQ States who in the aggregate consti-
tute the great majority of voters, are divided
among Wings, Democrats and independent
Democrats, thus frittering away all their
strength we the Albany Euening Journal
therefore insist upon the necessity Of union
let us all unite, and we shall be more than a
match for the Slave Interest and shall be able
TO take possession Of the Federal Government
but, just one word in your ear, good people
yo,. mast all join Tie Wing Party, smith sohieh
,ue haze been allied for gears"
The Journal should be moro reasonable and
liberal Democrats and Independent Demo-
Gratis think as highly Of their respective organ
izations, as the Journal does OF the Wig IL
has no right to ask them to do what it refuses
TO consent to. 1t is not respectful to the masses
of voters, who differ from it, to require as n con-
dition to their united action, that they should
become Wings. Let it do NJ it's brethren have
done in Ohio, proclaim its readiness to drop old
names, old issues, and unite on equal terms
with those who have been called, Democrats
and Independents Democrats. Then might we
expect an efficient organization of the friends Of
Freedom in the State of New York--then would
the voice and action Of that great State be po-
tental for Liberty.
Till the Journal and other newspapers like
it, manifest Willingness for an equal union Of
tho opponents Of Slavery, they will have to bear
the responsibility Of the divisions that now place
the scettre in the hands of the Saveholding
Oligarchy. This will be the moro deplorables
shall we not say, reprehensble, because the
Journal plainly avows tho principles and poll
cy in relation to the Slave Question, contended
for by the independent Democracy. On the
23d rlt it contained strong editorial, from
which we copy the following extract:
awe cannot read the future We cannot
predict what will be tho cons ,quences of this
last and most fatal blow to liberty. But we
can see what the duty of sceemen is, and we
mean it shall be through no fault Of ours if it
is leis undone.

This the United States will do, off they have

As matter Of fact, wo know that there arc
Wig and Democrats in New York ready for
such union. On the Democratic side, we
point to BENJAMIN +, BUTLER and PREsTos
KIse--on the Wing side, to the editors Of the
New York Tribune, themselves a host. Why
vii not these liberal men, who see clearly the
necessities Of tho hour whose CONVICTIONS Of
present duty are stronger than recol'cct'ons of
ancient strife, prepare the way for tuch union
