The Washington Unions-Th Programme.
This press is jubilant over the result Of the
philadelphia election, and is not content with
the simple annunciation Of the success of the
Administration party in that city, but must,
as usual, misrepresent the truth, by asserting
that g the Black Republicans voted in a body
for the K n candidate"
The Union knew when it made the above
statement, that it was Misrepresentation, or
it knew too little to make any attempt to ex-
plain the combinations under which the Amer
ican party there was defeated. The American
party has, on a fair trial of strength, an i'm
mense majority in Philadelphia but at the re-
cent election no issue of Americanism was
made-the issues had relation to tho manage
sse,t Of the city finances, in which the late
authorities have been charged with extrava-
gance and mismanagement, and whether true
or false, the charge was believed by the tax
payers of that city, and they cast their votes
accordingly The Philadelphia Ledger, neu-
tral paper says: "The usual party lines were
held very loosely and the victory won by the
Democrats is by no means to be regarded as an
endorsement of all the political views of that
party
The North American, paper whose sympa-
thies are said to be wholly in favor of Repu6-
Ica,isn at the present time, and which urged
the election Of the administration ticket an
nounces the result as follows:
AS this result has been ~,ainiy brought about
by Wig votes which, for local reasons, we're cast
in favor of the successful candidates 1t cannot be
regarded as party triumph"
The North American sustained the nomina-
tions of the successful candidates. and aided
materially in their success, and it doubtless
gives a true version of the cause Of their sue
cess, and yet in the face of the above declara-
ton of that press, the Washington Union as
serts that the administration party has tri-
umphed over both the Americans and Repub-
licans combined What class of men does the
North American denominate " Wings in the
above extracts Those Whigs with whom that
press sympathizes, are the Republican Wings,
and this class of Wings voted the administra-
ton ticket, under the lead Of the North Ameri-
can, thus showing that there was fusion Of
pseudo Democrats with the Republican Wigs Z
And this was precisely what occurred Does
the Union then tell the TRUTH
The Republicans, almost to man, fused
with the pseudo Democrats, and this fusion,
added to the general discomfort, which pre-
vailed among the citizens Of Philadelphia, in
relation to the alleged bad management Of the
city finances by the late authorities, has thrown
the power in.o the hands Of the administration.
We arc borne out in this statement by the
North American, which says that, Gin the re-
suit, the popular desire for retrenchment and
reform has been most emphatically demon
strated." So much for the misrepresentation
of the Washington Union on this point
We here call the especial attention of the
country to the very singular attitude assumed
by the administration presses in the present
conflict They all sag that the contest for the
Presidency lies between them and the Repub-
licans. They daily warn the country that
there is danger to our institutions from the
Republicans, and they daily fight the princi-
pies of the Republican party in their columns.
They seek thus to create the belief that the
American party has no power, no influence
and that from this party they have no fears
This is their daily cry.
But mark their language when, by fusion
with this same Republican party, they have
beaten the American party in any contest.
"We have triumphed (say they) over the
Know-N Nothingsi" The Union copied from the
Pennsylyanian yesterday, as follows: "The
birth place Of Knoao- nottingham has become
1ts grare I" Now this must seem strange in
the ears OF those who are daily and hourly
told that the present conflict is betweeen the
lpseudo) Democrats and the Republicans
The case thus presented is precisely this The
administration party, through all its presses,
asserts that the only eontest now, Is between
this administration party and the Republicans
They denounce Republicanism loudly and con-
tinualy. The Republican party sings the
same song, and denounces the administration
party. Neither one Of these parties dares to
