WHOLE NO. 419.

I The Union cannot find words sufficiently
lAudatory Of the old Wings who have gone
over to the Pierce party. Messers Oliver and
Caruthers have risen go high in the Union
estimation Of late, that not paper is issued
without containing some eulogium upon thel 0
gentlemen. That the public may properly ap-
preciatc the character of one Of these gentle
men, we publish the following from the Mis-
souri, American Citizen: ss .dawa ga5S
HoS. Mn. OLIvHR.--Few young poEticians have
ever risen in public favor more rapidly than the
gentleman whose name heads this brief article
And since the fall Of our irss parent few have SO
suddenly fallsn from high position 70 state Of

lie was electsd TO Congroes AZ Whig. If we
are coerssay ind0smed after Ms return, from Wash
ington last spring, he united with the American
party, and was for short time Jealous member
But alter the elections in Virginia and Tennessee be
withdrew from the party. Some say he alleged as
q reason for his withdrawal, that he could do MOI
to strengthen the party as outsider than he
could as regulnr member, thus palming on the
council a jesuitical plea to get an opportunty to
play, as he alleged, the jesuitca game on a large
scale beforo the people. All understood his plea
and his position, and all supposed that he was dis
pleased with his new political associates, and that
be would again return to the old Whig party, ard
all expected him to vote for conservative Ameri-
can, or to throw awayihis vote on some conserva-
tive national Whg. In this all were disappointed
and Americans, Wings, and Democrats so Tar as
we have heard an expression, look upon his course
with wonder and disgust.
His vote for Mr.. Richardson might have been
tolerated, had he not attempted TO give his rea-
sons for no doing; but his letters to General Doni
phan and the Republican, sealed his fate forever.
The letter to Donphan was private, but before it
could reach its destination copy was despatched
for publication to the Republican, paper at least
two hundred miles from any part of his district
fthe letters had been intended for home consump-
tion, he would certainly have addressed them TO
some one Of the eight or nine papers published in
his district. Instead of this he sent the commu-
pications to the Republican, paper that occupies
the same ground with himself, and which, per-
haps, had not two hundred readers in his district,
and to be transferred from the columns Of the Re
publican to the local papers at home. The letters
needed an endorser, which they found in the Re
publican, but they found no endorser in his own
district. Where he now stands we cannot tell. If
he claims to be Whig he will find himself like
the Republican a leader without followers. If he
attempts to place himself in the ranks of the De.
mocracy, they will remind him Of his former sum
mersets, and let him know that, hard as they may
be pressed for numbers, they only receive him
as a voter--a ".high priUMe" in the ranks, and
not even, in the line Of promotion. 6isHE
The following, copied from the papers Of his
district will show his standing among the
Americans, and these sentiments are the SER
timents Of all parties in his district:
At meeting of Lundy's Lane Council, No 100,
held at their hali in Kchfed on the 9th of Febru-
airy, 1856, the following resolutions were unan;-
mously adopted
Resoived, That we have watched with intense
interest the course of the American party in Con-
gress during the recent protracted struggle for the
election of Speaker; that it is with pride and plea
sure we have witnessed their adherence to our
principles and that the whole course of that Spar
tan band, headed by Fuller, Zoicoffer, Marshall,
and Kennett, meets with our warmest admiration
and approval M m Ay
Resolued That the American party in Congress
from first to last have shown earnest desire to or
ganize the House upon eound t6nscrvative
basis that they have exhausted all fair and hon
orable means OF conciliation, and that that party
which has refused to unite with them upon any
honorable terms, only be sectional party, and
is alone responsible for sectional Organization
il such ensues. 4S
Resolyed, That in the opinion Of this Council
our Representative Mr.. Oliver in his published
letters has failed to present any Just defence of
his course that the whole of his recent action in
Congress is disapproved by us, and does not reflect
the will of his constituents sseg
Resolped, That the Richfeld Monitor and Lib
erty Tribune be requested to publish these reso-
lutions
