For the Union.


The wings, under their device Of know nothing
ism have put forth prospectus for newspaper to be
published in this city styled the American Organ which
they say is be edited by democrat of the school
Jefferson and Madison progressive in his notions Yes
very progressive but than whggery generally is
We learn from the prospectus that "we have reached
important crisis in political history" Democracy
has met many SUCH and overcome them.) "rhe lead
ing parties in country, hitherto separated by broad
lines either of principle of policy differ scarcely in
thing but in Names They then go enumerate
those broad lines of separation but omit two of the broad
esyz the alien and sediton law of old federalism and
the nternal-improv system of the more modern
How they to overlook the sedton law is easily ac-
counted for-it being their avowed intention to renew it,
should they attain power The broad lines of sepaa-
ton have been obliterated BY whom oberated2 1t is
well known that the two great parties of democracy and
federalism brought into existence by the establish
ment of the first National Bank with Jefferson and Ham
lton their leaders The patriotic and sagacous Jefer-
foresaw the evils of consolidated money power AL
though he could not prevent the bank he weakened its
influence and through his policy il suffered to die in
1911 This first broad line of separation partially OBJ
liberated The next broad lineand which wing friends
have tried to keep out of Sights the odous alien and
sedon law the blacklist spot in Black Cockade federal
ism II enacted by federal majority in Congress- and
approved by federal President Better had he died rather
than his should have appeared to that act lie
bercd with unmixed love and veneration That act--so
fatal to the memory of the patriot Adainsreceived il
deserved the excavations of all good citizens and estab-
shed under Providence the supremacy of the democratic
party The inordnate love Of power and family aggran-
dizement existing in the federal party though subdued
was not extngushed; they had among them immense
wealth. and through its they vanly hoped to regain
their lost power From the time they retired, dsgraced
from the administration till the present. their endeayors
have been unceasng and in some instances they have
ceeded in cong the people, yet they have often been
detected and exposed.
Another broad line obieraed which is omitted from
prospectus of the "Organ the grand scheme Of
internal improvements which the federal wings attempted
to fasten the country but happily defeated by the
immortal Jackson by his famous Maysve and Rockville
veto. Alien and sedon law, national bank, protective
tariff distribution of the proceeds of public landsthese
the broad lines Of separation between democracy and
federal whiggery which have ceased to exist Why and
how have they been obiteraed? Each in its turn has
been met and deeaed-al all have been swept by the
board How stand the two partesvictor and vanqqish-
ed? Democracy triumphant in every contest what then
remain us issues ~ The "Organ" says "we know OF
| none"--know nothing! But democrat, say we do
know of some We have triumph to hand down to
postery untarnished unimpaired That is the issue with
To the wings leave the issue of the spoils of pow

whggery defeated and driven under every guise it has
assumed-now mounts the fools cap and bells of know
nothngism and is dancing like mountebank through
the country endeavorng ghen democrats with dread
full apparons of Popes and foreigners and is to have
