UNION CLuB-GLoRIous ENTHUsIAsM-A New
PARTY.-We published yesterday the pro-
ceedings of meeting of our Young Mems
Democratic Union Club, under the inspiration
of another and most gloriously enthusiastic
democratic letter from Hon. Henry A. Wise,
of Virginia. Outside of regular good old
fashioned Methodist Iove-feast, we know Of
nothing to compare with the inexpressible rap
ture, the "perfect bliss" of this Democratic
Club from the soul-cheering letter of Harry
Of Accomac. 1t lifted them far above the
earth, "to the infinite right-the heaven
reaching right-of liberty Of conscience, re-
ligious liberty, the right to easement in the
way to God" And the effect upon these
young, impossible and inspired soft shells of
this toploftical Napoleonic letter, touching
the niger question, was miraculous. The
Club instantaneously and enthusiastically,
and in the face Of John Van Buren, and the
Syracuse Administration Convention, resolved
to 60 the whole figure, clean and square.
But here we must begin new paragraph, for
the glory of the subject commands it.
This soft she'll Administration Democratic
Club, cheered on by Mr.. Wise, resolve, first,
that he is the champion of State and indi-
vidual rights, both finite and infinite : !"
next they fearlessly denounce the Maine Lii
quor law, the canal jobbers and canal rob
bers," and the Know Nothings and :" all other
secret, black and midnight abominations,"
and then they are in favor Of supporting in
/" frank and manly manner, without carping or
retcence, a democratic federal administration"
And here it comes: They step forward in a regu-
lar fat-footed, double-breasted style, and de-
clare in plain Anglo-Saxon, "that they are in ia
vor of the Kansas and Nebraska BILL in all its de-
tails, without hesitation or reservation, believ-
ing that it is practical recognition Of the de-
mocratic doctrine of State rights" Hurrah
Thus answer our Y Dung Mems Democratic Union
Club the thrilling, willing cheering and en-
dearing second epistle from Mr.. Wise. A
young girl with a second love letter before
her, .praising her to the skies and popping the
question, could not be happier than this Young
Mems Club with their second letter from Ac-
comac What were the vicissitudes of men,
parties and empires to this club upon the
reading of that letter? What cared they for
Sebasiopol, orSyracuse, or the fight of Santa
Anna, or the price of -four, or the advent of
Rachel, or for Stringfellow, or Atchison, or
the Maine liquor law? Nothing nothing
They were like the clown in the circus who
dreamed that, to the music of Yankee Doodle
he was floating among the clouds wrapped up
in warm buckwheat cake, and feeding off
the edges slick with butter and honey
And what is the result? The high toned.
courageous, aaat-footedresolutions Of this Union
Club establish new democratic party in this
State, SO thai we have now three of them.

Tic hards are ahead in point of priority as
thereal democracy; the softs ere ahead in he
matter of the spoils; but the Young Men, De
mocratic Union Club are iar ahead even of the
administration itself, and doubtless very much
to the 'disgust and establishment Of Marcy, in
their endorsement Of Mr.. Wise and ihe Kansas
and Nebraska bill. What q pity Mr.. Wise
didn't write one of his inspiring letters to the
Soft Shell Syracuse Conventioni What pity
