The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1856-01-09


object to that portion Of the Communication But the
other idea Of the correspondent tx ~ and that which
is manesty agreeable the Ltellgsaeer is con-
tanned in these observations;
An administration always responsible for carrying on
the government"
4 Aud also:
eli after every honorable effort they fail they bound
to take what they may deem the least Of evils and 90
the other for the purpose Of organiza-
ton, else 10 gee he aaas 10 carry on.
This uoaid b the of Eagiish ministry They could
plead the disagreement of the opposition, their refa
sal to to hemj they majority, or own
themselves beaten and surrender the seals"
Not many days ago, when the President OF the United
States his message into Congress- there
bitter cry from the republican side Of the House against
what denounced executive usurpaton and here
have correspondent Of the Ltegeaeer with the en-
dorsemen of the editors recommending 10 the American
representatives British maxim for the purpose OF organ
king American Congress lie calls for the admins
trationthe governmentto step in TO do the work which
his party though in majority is incapable OF doing
The example urgently pressed by * u looks also
to the idea which the abolition members attempted to
iken the of the President when they spoke Of the inter
ference with the British Parliament by the Lord Protector
The correspondent of the htsttgeae~ wifully forgets
that English Parliament is generally selected by the
English ministry, is composed Of its creatures, and when
ministry is unable TO control them s dependents it
is necessarily obliged to abdicate
Nobody pretends that the American Executive repon-
sibe for disagreement in Congress If that had been So
then Gen. Jackson would have been compelled TO "abd-
cate or ITO give up the government because by means OF
the clamor raised against him majores throwi into
both branches during memorable period of his
administration and the with other democratic Pres
idens.
In other words this correspondent asks the adminsra-
ton to organize Congress elected literally to overthrow the
government He insists that the democracy in the House
shall unite with those chosen to put that democracy
down. He camors for the surrender of the principles which
this opposition pledged to defeat After making all
these demands be declares if the democracy fail TO do
all of these things that the administration shall give
| up the government as unable to carry 1t on"
The British instincts of the National LateHgencer, 10
giving prominent place TO recommendations and de-
mands like these and in differing only with the writer in
reference to single of his propositions to where
the responsibility belongs have been conspc
uously betrayed II only the American Executive could
be like the British monarcha ruler for lifeand the
American Congress Parliament chosen to register the
DEGREES of arsocratc ministry these slight essentials
would render the British policy Of the Legencr and its
correspondent the very best panacea for existing troubles
If the higeneer would apply the British rule to
government and call upon the President resign because
majority is found against him in the House. it would be
but fair and just make parallel before the rule is
enforced. The British ministry resign it is true whenever
majority of Parliament decide against them but in no
has ministry in England resigned when the opposing
majority would unite to the extent of failure
fusa organize. The opposition unto upon principles
and measures antagonstc the ministry; and having
given expression their united opposition they demand
the resignation of the ministers Let venerable copy
s of British precedents place his forces in similar posi-
! ton before he asks for a compliance with bis rule
II is easy expose the unfrness and reckessness of
the demand made upon the democracy to surrender its
devotion 10 the constitution of the United States few
plain words are all that is necessary TO complete
this exposure
There are two parties in the House of Representatives
who agree in principle, either composing majority Of the
House The first is composed of the republican par
ty, represented in detail by Nr. Banks Mr. Dunn, and
Mr. Pennington, and in the aggregate by Mr.. Gidding
which, any within the last five weeks agree
ing it does upon every essential principle could have
elected Speaker The second is composed the friends
of Mr. Fuller and the friends of Mr.. Banks, who agree
upon "the great American idea that Americans shall
rule America At any moment during the last five weeks
struggle this party could also have elected Speaker
And what do we behold Newspapers representing either
the the other party calling upon the democracy to
organize the House and holding the administration
sponsibe for its dsorgauizatonthat democracy being
minority acting with that administration, and agreeing in
no Of the principles alluded to, which constitute the
bond of union between the republican party the one
hand and the American party on the otherl
Let say that the democracy of the House is anxious
organize that body the tegeno1 and its Brithh
correspondents the republicans themselves RI tie
democrats been unable contribute the election OF
Speaker Of the House has been in the first place be-
they in minority in the second because If
even the middle the southern and national know
nothings acted with them of which there is hardly pos
sibe contingency the would still Gall short
jory and in the third and last place they cannot sur
render their principles without endorsing the designs
Of the opponents Of the constitution and without dgra
cling themselves before the country.
Suppose that the democracy decided upon pursuing the
latter who doubt that the National Ipieligea
would be the very first open its batteries and de-
clare that the administration and the democracy had ca
pitulsed TO the abolition sentiment Of the North and had
exposed themselves nsncere and dishonest in their an
