The Machias Union of this week, has the
above flor it) singular captio N. for its leader;
and most singular and awkward manner
it has of treating such a subject. Poor pass
in boots never made a more devious path
way, or looked more cartfully at its small
ct in large encascments. The tnion man
must take some other subject, for their is no
inspiration for his pen in such theme.
In the glorious Army of Freedom of to-
day, may be found sotne of the best states
men and patriots Of tho S)uth. Ball Of
Tennessee. Crittendcn Of Kentucky, i'll the
Senate: and Davis, Harris, and Ricatid OF

and should not have been forgotten by the
Union. These gentlemen. like Washington,
jefferson, Madison, and the most of the pat
riots of the early days Of the Republic, are
shareholders. Because they are such, and
are found voting with the party that op-
poses the further extention Of slavery, the
Union has been pleased to read them iufo the
army OF Freedom.
The grand trouble with the buchanan
editors, is that they d. not like to see any
body from the South who is not as illib3rdl
and bigotted on the slavery question: as
their party leaders are. Othellos occupa-
ton will be gone when they sec Southern
Statesmen uniting with Northern mel to
bit and curb the fiery NulIifcrs of the sunny
South, and their Northern allies for the pur
pose Of checking their headong work OF
subjugating the interests of Free Labor u
that Of Slave Labor.
1t is this phase Of the Subject, as unf5lded
by the changes OF the past winter, which
gives to these intense party men their great
est fear. 1t is this a!ll!iltion Of men from
