THE WASHINGTON UNION AND THE SENTINEL

said article the ecidsace upon which the indictment wAs
founded Ny yiews--yery condensed and hastily penned-
of the Sentnes structures already before the put,
If you have thought proper 10 publish them no@ beg
permission occupy little OF your space in
pressing my sincere regret to the Examiner joining n
this cutlery, which, simple matter otnrgument
contend there is word in the Unions article to
justify In fact, the Examiner respectfully assert has,
in few lines, after charging the Union with setting
forth a anew and monstrous of democratic fai
emphaticay reamed the els; Of the whole the Uuious
arcle. ltsays:
The southern democracy 90 not require orthoaoNf o.
abstract opinion slavery Of the northern democracy but
they require snch and standards Of national organ
zation exclude eli who preach agitae Wilmo pro
visosm aud abolitionismH &C
Now, offset TO the first clause OF ths paragraph
what says the Unon2
nWhont liberation of differences of opinion 70 the
question Of slavery parties cannot possibly be
national
This is the one the only proposition running through
the article of the Union and might have been eS-
of tbarE minpr cuualiy
we'll defy all the critics the face Of the earth
to make anything else Of it, And as to the second
clause what says the Union2 The democratic party
bases It's riiin nationality upon the fact that whilst
il recognises the obligatory character Of the eomrro-
misses OF the constitution denies the federal govern
ment any right interfere with the question Of slavery
&c The for the organization Of Kansas and Nebraska
was based upon the principle OF congressional
intervention and il is upon this prineiP alone that any
party can be NATIONAL that the federal Union can be
pcreuated II then proceeds to quote and 20 endorse
the Baltimore resolutions the authentic position q the
democratic party These resolutions denounce all efforts
Of the aholiioniss others induce Congress interfere
with the question of slavery &c, 'the whole subject d
slavery agitation ID Congress aud declare for faithful
execution OF the ugitiyeslaye law and the compromise
measures Now, air. if this does Exclude all who
preach agtas Wimot proTisosm, &ci then must
ss have to learn OF the meaning Of words than
had supposed, and certainly find light the
subject in the language OF the Examiner.
No, sir make bold to say that this combined assault
Of the Sentinel aud the Examiner upon what my poor
Judgment is sound and just definition Of the demo-
cratic position, rests for its support upon most garng
misinterpreation Of language; mingling and inter-
changing Of words which express one thing with those
which express that thing and Others besides and
king the Union occupy position which cannot itiry BE-
inferred from its language The Examiner snppoees the
Union say that because the North and The South ai
in af
fore there be national organization Of party that
does entirely exclude the question Of slavery from it,
creed &C. respectfully deny that the Unions article de-
velops any such proposition and assert that upon Just
Interpretation and condemnation Of TIA language the posi-
ton taken by IT, and also hy the Examiner oae eeybis
il this Because the North and the South differ III senti-
upon the abstract subject Of slavery therefore the
abstract subject Of slavery ought be excluded and ma
tional organization formed with such and sards as
ezciuae al @ho agano Wilmot provisosm aholitionls
&c or 10 the far comprehensive language Of the
Union all who do adhere to the principles Of the
Baltimore platform, the authentic position Of the demo-
cratic party
Did not the national democracy ali the North and
South with The cabinet in 1883 for the much
mder doctrine upon which II acted ia New York that re-
pentent reesoilersconvefs Of hoprshoula re rec-

In conclusion, believe speak the sentiments Of rhe
