The Union of Wednesday devotes more than
two of its heavy columns to crushing out Sena tor
Douglas. The Unon proves that he is not at
unity with the Democratic party Of the country
Or with the Democratic Administration Ot Pres
ident Buchanan. He has rebeled against the
President aud the party; he has never confessed
his sins and brought forth works of repentance,
but has continued foe aud revier of both to
