These are the opinions which the gentleman
declared to DO "unsound, " "repudiated," and
desires to see reversed" If the gentleman
is fair specimen of what is called National
Democrats he is the proper person to lead
the faction which is now attempting to build
itself into political party by agitation, as was
most justly charged against the Irish brigade
on yesterday by the Hon. Humphrey Marshall.
We have taken this trouble to set MIR. Jones
right before the country for the amusement

We invite the attention Of our readers to
the following editorial from the New York
News. We commend it especially to the Rich
mond Enquirer and to all other Southern
presses which have attempted to deceive the
South with the representation that this admin
istration was peculiarly Southern in its views.
We beg that the Richmond Enquirer, Mobile
Register, New Orleans Delta, and Charleston
Mercury will copy it. 80 that their readers who
have been induced to believe that this admin
istration is immaculate and infallible, will be
enabled to comprehend the course of Pierce

THE SENATE PRISTING.--In this matter we have
no pecuniary interest whatever, nor have we any
but kindly personal feelings towards the proprie-
AZ
whom an attempt is now made to bestow the SEN
ate printing. But in the name of the National
Democracy Of New York we enter our most solemn
protest against such disposition Of the patron
age of the Senate. 1t would be gross insult to
the National Democracy of this State, especially
when we all know the fact that that paper has
used its influence for the last two years to support
the Free-soil and Abolition party in this. State,
backed by all the power and patronage Of the
national ADMINISTRATION. The true Democracy of
this State have suffered enough from the admins
tration and its organ without thus having insult
added to injury by this disposition of the Senate
patronage. 81
The Free-soil press Of New York are now COM

Union, with which paper the Free-sol editors in
this State have both openly and secretly acted for

tional Democratic Senators can shut their eyes to
the position Of that paper in connexion with the
administration and bury recent facts in oblivion?
AT the time of the debate in the Senate on the
Kansas-N Nebraska bill, the Albany Atlas was, in the
eyes of the Washington Union, an orthodox Dem
ocratic paper, and it quoted from its columns ap-
provingly, and yet the Atlas was all the while de-
nouncing the bill as a swindle" AID the Senators
favorable to it as set of swindlers and while that
vituperation was progressing in the columns Of the
Atlas, the administration, by which the Washing
ton Union was sustained supported and controlled,
did, through the Collector, Mr.. Redfeld, furnish
the Atlas with government advertising to the
amount of hundreds of dollars, as reward for its
abuse of the Democratic Senators in favor of that

all? Has not the Washington Union led every
attack on the National Democracy Of New York.
from the removal Of Judge Bronson down to the
present timer Has it not aided and assisted in
every way to enable the administration to "crush
out" the spirit of National Democracy here? Have
not its Efforts with the cooperation of the admin
istration, broken up the party in this State, and
given the four thousand Federal Offices to Free
sellers and Abolitionists? And for all this is the
Washington Union to be awarded the Senate print
