sPIRlT CT TAE MORNING PEEss
The Union again defends General Cass from
his really uDgenerous Southern assaila Is,
and cr'ticises Mr.. Dickinson's Daniel 81 late
speech upon the Nebraska bill The editor
hints that Mr. DIS chagrin commenced with
the action Of the Democratic National Con-
vention in nominating General Pierce instead
of himself, though he, according to the Union,
sought to cloak his disappointment under the
plea of extravagant solicitude for General
Cas-. The organ congrstulates the Democ-
racy on the fact that Mr.. Dickinson, though
avoEedly hostile to the National Administra-
ton, lends the weight of his name to endorse
every feature in the Nebraska bill as correct,
and points to the fact that while he (Dickin-
sony is abusing the Softs for failing to stand
squarely up to it, he avows that he oocupie,
precisely the same position upon 1t as was
taken by the recent Soft State Convention
That is, of thorough acquiescence il it a. tbe
law Of the land, to be obeyea and not to bs
disturbed; though he thinks there was no orr
glnai nscessifyJ for repeating the Missouri
Comprop',,se
me Iutetltgsncer says:
1.-The Union alleges that we withhold from
our readers the extent to which the Nhip
party OF the North has become imbued with
anti slavery sentiments. We have not at.
tempted to conceal that the repeal of the Mis-.
souri, compromise has, as ue feared and pre-
dlcted, given new and increased impulse to
sne anti slavery feeling of the whole North
wing and Democratic II was the apprehen-
sion OF Its creating sectional agitation that
invested that repeal with 30 much danger to
our minds and it grieves US that that disas-
.rous consequence has followed. The Union
Iaoors to persuade the South that the Northern
democrats are more sound on the slavery
question than the Wings. But it labors in
vain: The reverse is too apparent and the
proofs of it too overwhelming to be resisted
The Union alleges that our representations
OF the conflicting views of the Democrats
North, South, East, and West, on certain ore al
questions in particular, and of their aiscord in
general, are lnsidious. AS journalists, it is
our duty to note the phases of the ruling partv
OF the county, with all other THINGS Wh;cI
make up the form and pressure of the time
anu II We q1ote truly the recognized organs Of
me alnefent and differing elements of the
sIea' democratic family, we cannot Justly be
se"arged with unfairness or insidiousness. 1t
Is not our fault if the party quarrels about
squatter sovereignty or any other mischiey.
Gus dogma OF the day, or that the Government
organ attempts to carry two tor half DOZEN
faces under hood but it is exacting from
the lntelligencer an unreasonable degree of
tenderness to demand that it shall look on 30
rel reshins a spectacle in mutecharity or silent
admiration. The Union may contend with the
poet that all discord is harmony not under
stood but harmony that runs into open war
IS rather too exciting to be passed by unno-
uced. SO it must pardon US if we continue to
apprise our readers how the harmonious De-
mocracy gets on. As to not recording with
more industry than we do the troubles Of the
wings, We might reply that the Union takes
that labor off our hands
