The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1854-08-25
LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.

The editor of the Express daily paper published in the
city of Buffalo has recently favored his readers with an
article national and local politics, which seems to have
been received with than ordinary JUNCTION by his
brethren of the whg press Speaking of the phases OF the
democratic party the Express unthnkingy INDUCES in
the following rhetorical flourish
Under their guidance the party has presented many
different there popular local interests in the
whole American Union-successul fbusering included
With the rapacous goes for Cuba with the South, for
the repeal of all compacts favorable to the North New
York is for free soin South Carolina for
mitigated slavery promises free tradeto
Pennsylvania and Louisiana, protection to iron and sugar
to the penny and pound foolish would hoard the
plus the States of the West it would appropr
money deepen harbors and rivers to foreigners it is
half Dutch with sprinking of brogue to know nothings
NATIVES the old fashioned, slow going republicans
stcker for the letter the constitution with Young Amer
ca stills it strides land and water would annex the
Pacific ocean, with all its cannba islands, and sympathizes
no doubt with the the in his political solitude
is therefore national party only in the of being
all things to all men in country BY such contemplate
wriepling has succeeded in reaching Washington and
coiling itself around the columns Of the Capitol
A monster Of such hideous mein
That to be hated needs but to be SEEM "
This Is all very well in its way and might have passed
for current coin in the intended locality of circulation but
unfortunately for the Buffalo brother the editor of the
Boston Courier must help him out rather help him into
a chuckle, and then complacently observes:
GAS Sir Robert Bramble, of Coemans Poor Gentleman,
would say There is attery' in this. That the portrait
good person deny We should like to see the
presented by any member of the democratic party
Listeners they say hear any good of themselves
the Courier has placed tsefn listening attitude
likely that the character Of the observations which
about to make will an exception to what is
commonly regarded general rule. Assumng--and it
is assumption which the Courier will not have the har
dhood to denythat the wing party is in the true and
only succession of the old federal partyhat it is the
lawful posscssor exponent and defender of all its trad
tons, principles and practceshat it has rightly nher
ted will faithfully bequeah, all the sins and niqu
ties of its progcnorshat the difference between the two
parties merely difference to age and namewe WILL
therefore dean the reader by gancing at that cycle
in the history of the federal wing party commencing
with the reign of the elder Adams and ending with the
assumption of executive power by his wonderfully
gifted SON.
Its but an act of sheer Justice IL the federal party to ad
mt and to admit cheerfuy that up to the administration
the younger Adams they consistent in name deeds
and principles. Under the banner of federalism, they
waged unrelentng against the administrations Of
Jefferson and Madison and although defeated at all points
they maintained feeble opposition against the government
during the mild ana popular sway OF MONROE by some
accident chance desgn--we will not say bargain or
saleiohn Quincy Adams came into power. From pros
rae the federal suddenly became the dominant party For
quarter OF century the party had been in exile and dis
grace It's very odous to the masses associated
as it with all that held dangerous and repug
nan TO the free institutions of the country To preserve
and perpeuate their power their must be changed
Mr. Adams was admitted to be of character and
ability With another name-another aiias-the arms of
the people believed would be thrown open to him
with all the yearnng fondness of brethren owned and
ognised Accordingly, the federal party was duly inn
mered in the waters of national repubicansm and they
promptly assumed the of that narrow shallow and
soonexhaused stream They made head against the tr
unphant hosts of the Hero Of New Orleans but only made
head show their hopeless weakness During the admin
isration of General Jackson they again changed their
name and such is the effect of bad principles they
rendered loved and revered by the friends of
freedom in all parts of the world perfectly despicabe
the eyes of the American people
