The Principles of Panty.

The Washington Jniion, in speaking of
the aims that should guide the Democratic
party, says:
g But we are looking to something high
er than the mere tcchnicalities of tho case.
We want to be able to Gx upon principle
TO guide us in all future elections. We
want to be able to say authoritatiyciy, by
the direct decision of the federal courts,
that the question of slavery in the Terrific
RIGS has been finally determined If the
opposition desire to take issue with us upon
tho question of the overthrow of the Su-
premc Court, we are ready to accept it, and
appeal to the country. We want no more
skulking and pettifogging in cur own par
ty. Like Paul, we require of our "stcw-
ards that they shall be found faithful here
after. They have been too much occupied
in trimming their sails to catch the popu-
lar breeze, and have too little regarded tho
dictates of national patriotism and sound
national principles. Wewant bold, COM
pact, universal Democracy. We stand by
the decision of the Supreme Court, and VIC
pronounce the curse of hercsy upon every
man who INVESTS his interests in the cause
OF Northern or Southern opposition to that
decision. We have had enough of time
serving, ofyielding to traitors, because they
can vote ofselling principles as opiates to
stop the clamor of one set of demacogues
that another may be elevated to power and
position. Tho best recipe to reduce ind
degrade party isto grant indulgences to
trimmers; and to authorize heretics to min
lister at the affairs of the faithful The uni
ty of political organization is as necessary
as the unity of the States. Nor is it pos
sible to maintain the latter without the for
mer. Nobody butinssne men believes that
this Government can be safely carried on
by tho people of the free States alone. 1t
Is Government or the United States, not
of the Northern States and MS the latter
have sought to exercise absolute control
over the Territories, and thus enter a wedge
into tho union with which TO sever it, we
iatcrpose che constitutional principles of
the Dred Scott decision as the only means
ofayertiag the caIamity. Ifthercis Dem
ocrat who does not believe chat his party
is the only great conservation of the Union,
VIC trust he will lose no time in nsnifes4
ting his apostaJy and placing himself some.
