The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1855-11-20

that their great OBJECT was 10 break down the democratic
party. Such union however, Of dseordant and hostile
interests for evil purpose is not without precedent
There is interesting book familiar presume TO many
ofour readers called the Buccaneers in which the English
and the negro, the Frenehman and the Indian, the
Spanard and the Dutchman hating each other as only
the ruian hate represented fpternzng with
each other alured by common love Of plumber and a
common hostility the lawful and peaceful trader So
audabe precedent could not escape the eyes of those who
united by hatred to the Union; and as the
Buccaneers though cowardly yet ferocous sometimes
captured the honest merchantmen, the allied forces
made, they thought, deadly breach in the Union by
capturing of its strongest ortresses
But reaction has begun! Already democratic con-
venton has assembled at Concord and announced those
articles of faith which alone keep they have thus
far made us great and happy republic The third Of the
admirable series of resolutions adopted the OCCASION
and which gave length in last issue pronounce
in coucse and impressive terms that TO the people Of
every State and Territory belongs the right of regulating
their domestic and local affairs in their way
withia the limits Of the constitution; while the fourth de-
cIares that Congress impose upon any State
seeking admission the Union any restriction which the
constitution has not imposed upon the original States II
we mistake not democrats of New Hampshire thus
the first in the northern States assembled in State
ton by explicit resolution this latest alarming
issue presented by William H. Seward and his black
publican cohorts. The convention also avowed its hos
ity the purposes and objects of knownothngism its be-
lief in freedom of conscience without distinction Of
gous aith and its uncompromsng and fixed hostility to
the law of the last legislature for the suppression of in
temperance
! There is no man in New England competent to il
usrae and enforce these doctrines than the eloquent
gacous and able whom the democracy has put
in the front rank the exponent of its viewswe alude
to Hon John S Wells the democratic candidate for gov
ernor. While the address and demeanor of Mr. Wellsas
ALL both political friends and foes who made his acquan
ance during his short but most acceptable, term in
the United States Senate do fail to bear unsolicited
testmony--are all that could ask in and gen
teman he possesses sagacy which the adrotness Of the
wing and the fasehood of the know-nohing will seek in
vain deceive and bodness which will defy and keep at
bay the haggard and desperate Of abolition In his
public speeches there is stirring tone Of eloquence and
graceful Of language which few can equal Democra-
Cyl like Christianity does consist of negations but of
fixed and posi- tive belief and as the ministers to our
spiritual wants and the other to political rights and
both to the advancement of race anticipate moth
ing but triumph for Mr.. Wells in his exposition Of
political faith, and his defence of the Union against
the attacks both of those who would PROSTATE Chris
tanity the feet Of intolerance and of those who would
administer philanthropy at the point of the bayonet
We are glad know that he proposes address his fell
low-citizens every town and village in New HAMPSHIRE
and if ancarnes ath vigorous equence and search
ing logic carry conviction TO the hearts of the true
of our party Who in unguarded moment and with
out any wrong of their own, deuded into the insd
nseshes of know-nohingisn the old Granite State
will be rescued before the polluted breath Of the corsarr
has had time TO leave any lasting stain upon her repua
/ ton.
Besides the resolutions Of which have spoken, and the
character of the nominated to he candidate for gov
enor the convention presents other points Of significance
in times like these when the question Of the preservation
of this Union occupies large share of public attention
