Those who are old enough, can well
remember the thrilling Political times
incident to the removal of the govern
ment depositcs from the Bank of the
United States. When that noble old
Roman, Andrew jackson. had deter
mined that the deposites should be re-
moved when he dismissed his Secretary
of the Treasury, William J. Duane /;
when committees of Democrats made pill
grimages to the seat of government to
dissuade the President from his purpose;
when Democratic meetings were called
in all parts of the country to express
popular sentiment against that which it
was believed would entail ruin upon
the country when Democratic presses,
too, raised their voice against the mea-
sure We say when such a state o. things
as this existed, it was truly a great cri.
sis With the Democratic party. But,
Jackson stood firm, and those who had
condemned him, afterwards discovered
that he was right, and were ashamed OF
their own conduct. We predict that
similar will be the case in regard to
President Buchanan and those Demo
Gratis who have deserted him on a vital
" important question. "Old Hickory

pie sustained him. "Old Buck" says,

I'VE ~nfructfon


Some of our cotemporaries continue
to be greatly distressed with regard to
the position of Senator PUPu. in conex-
ion with the Kansas Constitution, and
with the instructions of the Ohio Legis
lature.
No one ever need entertain q doubt
as to Mr.. PUGH's positien7no intelli-
gent man in the country aver has had
any doubts az to his opinions, with refer
ence to the Kansas, or to any other
great question of public policy. There
isno man of his age and experience in the
public service who has more thoroughly
established that one characteristic of all
great Statesmen-frnpness-than Mr..
PucH. Being a Democrat of national
character and principles, it would have
been absurd TO suppose that he would
have abandoned the Administration and
the principles of the Democratic party,
in order to promote the corrupt ambition
Of one Of the worst factions that was ey-
er organized against our institutions,
ever though shat faction was headed by
one who had heretofore bean a distin-
guished personal and political associate.
MI. PUGH was elected by the Demo-
cratic Psrtyr-hs is sustained, in his
support of the President and his Kan

Ohio. the legislative resolutions
can be construed into IN instruction of
Mr.. PUeH to employ his influence and
to cast his votes for measures hostile to
the Demosratic Party, then those IN
strucsions are vitiated aud annullod BY
fraud and perfdy; because the People of
Ohio at their last general election, pro-
claimed IL favor of the Administration
and its policy. Mr.. PUGH, then can
safely appeal from q legislature that
was false to It's trust, to the People,
their creators-and he will be sustain

sembly, who voted for those resolutions,
who cortend that a fair construction Of
them win require Mr.. PuGH to sustain
the Kansas policy of the Administration;
and they expect him to do it. We have
nodoubt of its having been lettets writ
ten Mr. PueH be such Democrats that
originated the report about
his being released from his Instructions.
Inasmueh as the resolutions are am
biguous and indefnite-and, by reason
of the NEST unfavorable construction
that can be placed upon them, are null
and veid, we hope that Mr.. PueH will
march straight forward, as heretofore,
in the line of duty, and leave conse-
quences to the people.

Mr.. Thompson, (N.J.,) in abiding

admission into the Uuian.
He commended hat the Lecompton
Constitution was expressing the Will OF
the people of Kansas.
He replied to the many arguments
against that instrument, and instanced
cases of fourteen States whose Constitu-
tons were adopted without submission
to the people. If wrong has been suf-
fered By the opponents of the Lecompton
Constitution, that wrong was in conse-
queuce of their own misconduct, and
therefore they have no right to com
plain.
If the Free State party have a large
majority as. is pretended, they can
change any obnoxious feature in the Con-

must submit, like good citizens, to the
will of the majority.

enlargement of the Union.

We this week present the, Union to
its readers considerably enlarged. The
reasons which caused us to temporarily
reduce its size, are SO nearly removed
that We feel justified in restoring the
paper to its former dim ID We
hope to be enabled, during the ensuing
year, to be more at home, and to give
increased attention and interest to the
paper; and may we not call upon our
old friends in the town and county to
make such an effort to increase our cir
culation as will enable US to make yet
further improvements During the next
volume it is our intention, if our patron
age will variant US in doing SO, to OBJ
tain new type throughout, and make the
Union, in ITS mechanical appearance,
what it was once before when under our
charge, the most neatly executed paper
in Ohio.

Dear Sir: We are directed by a num-
Der of the Democrats of this county to
invite you to be present and address an
Anti Lecompton meeting, to be held at
this place on Saturday, the 4th of March
next.
We have been compelled to takesthis
course in self defense. A few of the
Lecompton men have issued a call for a
meeting on the 18th of March, intend
.iug to crush out the Anti-Lecompton
sentiment if possible, and particularly
to influence our Representative in Con-
Hgress to vote for the admission of Kan
sas with the Lecompton Constitution
Hon. John K. Miller has just returned
from Washington, and has no doubt un-
dertaken to put the matter through here.
A large majority of the Democrats of
this county are opposed to the Kansas
policy of the Admins ration, and are
determined that their sentiments shall
not be misrepreseuted at Washington.
Hence it is that our meeting has been
called as above stated. The Lecompton
men are determined to slaughter us, and
we are fully resolved te give them q
fight. We have issued u posters, and
have stated within that yow qciH posi-
lively be present.
We earnestly request. as a great IA
voT, tina you attend. We must not fail
in the effort now being made to keep
right.
Please advise US by telegraph wheth-
er you can be with us.
.. Yours in haste,
W. G. CASTOR,
