The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1855-06-24


IN for the Union, are well assured that they can
States or the sancuy Of the constitution 10 satisfy Al
abstract opinion obtain the support Of all the ana
ia in the United States and all their insgators and abet
ters IN Great Britain. They win give the Union
for the abolition Of slavery sacrifice their race ID
the imaginary benefit Of bearing the indeble brand Of
pferiorty from the remotest ages OF the world
Il seems 10 us therefore that the wings or the South
have this and only this, alternative before them Ia Ms
present crisis They TO choose whether they win unite
with The whg party OF the North identded with the
aboltonsts who have declared interminabe and cx-
terminating war against the whole southwho denouus
the constitution ia compact with hell solely because Il
recognises and protects the rights Of both wings and dem
ocrats In the saveholdng Staesor with the democracy
N he North who whatever may be their abstract opn-
ions have oil All occasions respected those rights and still
stand ready to sustain them against the assaults Of aboi-
tonzed whggery This is the alternative, and le, them
choose Let them bewafe of vague declarations aud plat
forms without bottom either sgnying nothing intend
ga only 10 deceive concoeed at whigabolition-know-
nothing conventions al philadelphia Cleveland or else
where Let them look their acts not their professions
They ought to know by this time thai there is but one mn
,onal party-the denocraeyand that there is other
now in existence thai viii stand by them in rolling back
tho wave of natcism in which every other party is
compleey immersed Adore ALL let them beware Of The
know-noings disguise themselves they WILL the eoycn
foot appears They only aboltoniss and aposiate
wings or democrats in Disguise and masked enemy is Of
AT Others the most dangerous We repeat the alternative
Is before them, aud let them choose.
NATIONAL, POLITICAL HOSPITAL
There Is something about the combination of decayel
politicians now arrayed against the democratic party
illustrated by the late philadelphia convention which re-
sembles great national hospital, Glled with patients Of
every degree suffering from diseases of every description
Some haze been broken by the storms of State and
come to die in the of the only party that win receive
them; some have become insane through fanaticism
some derous with the evers that result from
aud disappointment enter for and for food hnv
ing their welcome by their paupersms in other
quarters Here is cripple who MANNED in defending
the Bank Of the United States when that moneyed despo
sought crush the liberties Of the country There
lid who has recovered from the effects Of his coward
ice in great conflict with the enemies of sound prnc
pies while here is who suffers from complication OF
complaints and who claims to exc out his remaining days
by abuse of his old beneactors and friends 1t would be
amusing well On instructive exhibition If sketch
of each mans peculiar could be laid before the
try. We imagine how seriously Major Doneson has
been wounded and how hopeless his condition had become
before he entered upon his present sanitary experiment
We fancy the intense agony of Kenneth Rayner, o.
North Carolina that he should eagerly enter the recep
ace for the weary the sick the heavyaden Of all parties
These are of the that may be cured but where is the
balm in Gilead that heal up the bruised and bat
tered politics of Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania
Where is the skiul and fearless surgeon that am
pute the late of Edmund Burke from his former
healthy democracy What "drowsy srup' can put the
unrestng and rcmorsefu spirit Of Governor Boutwell, to
sleep What invention of medicine of morals will
make Neil s. Brown of Tennessee generally respected
he before he crossed the threshold Of this fetd
gantion Let the students Of history study these
they would learn the springs and sources of disappointed
ambition baed revenge Inconsistency, and ngratitnde
There better school than such array Of invalid poll
cians desperate ncurabe Every twenty years such
the filing up Of this national hospital is how
ever humang those who compelled to resort to it
important the health the purity, the strength and per
petuy of our free institutions and especially of that gea
party which stands by those institutions in every
gency.
