Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-10-27

out of that Senator's opposition to him for pub- lie printer. Notwithstanding Wendeps insig nlhcance some of his acts are of record and these show his political complexion At one time we ind hlm largely concerned in getting up public meeting in New York, to denounce the democratic administration of President Pierce. Again he is found privately contriving fusion Of the anti-slavery vote in the Senate. by which means Gen. Robert Armstrong. the choice of three-fourths of the democratic Sena tors was defeated for Senate printer.
 Next. he prevails on his loving friends to elect him House printer for that black repub- lican and fanatical body over which Banks presided. And, to cap the climax. he now CO., aiesces with Greeley aud the black republican press generally in vindctive oppositio on to Sena- tor Douglas In his pending Canvass for re-e elec- tion.
 Such are the antecedents of the editor of the Washington Union-the reputed organ' of Mir. Buchanan. That this pretence of .or- ganship'' is well founded do not believe But If the wretch has slyly insnuated himself into the Presidents confidence, the President owes 1t to himself and his party at once to dismiss him. It Is said, however, that the Unions edi- torials against Doug las are occasionally written by Mr. Buchanan himself. Well, you know MT. Editor, that 1 am friend to Mr. Buchanan and have warmly supported his administration. I still love the man, but did believe him con- cerned in the nefarious attempt to crush out the political life blood of Senator Douglas, or Senator anybody else, with the iron heel of power, my love and admiration would turn to instant hate, and, instead of praises, this tongue should utter curses, deep and loud, invoked on the tyrant's head Mr. Buchanan has no huSInpsS n this Hrht if # ba on the side of the democrat and against the abolitionist
 One other view and have done. It is con- ceded to be democratic doctrine that the rep resentative should carry out the wishes of his constituents, whether accordant with his own individual views or not. Mr. Buchanan him. self did so-Senator Slas Wright did so-on the tariff question, when their convictions werc the other way. The only plea ever offered by either was that he voted the wishes of those whom he represented. This was thought suf- tclent and neither of them was ostracized. On the contrary, one was afterwards nominated for President by national democratic convention; the other was nominated by similar body for the same high office, at a later period, and electeA Now can democrats reconcile 1t to 1 their sense of justice to " make fish of one and l flesh of another!' Douglas unquestonably  carried out the wishes of nine-tenths of his democratic constituents on the Lecenpton is- sue. Yet he is denounced as a trai gr aud as- sailed with the bitterest vituperation, while Buchanan and Wright, for executing the will Of their constituents, are lauded to the skies and have the highest party rewards bestowed on them. Oh, heavens. is that justice? Is 1t just that the selt-same act that eevates the one should overthrow the other? If that is right, We shall have to unlearn all we have learned, and learn anew the great moral lines that divide right and wrong. To what an ex- tremity will sdch politica ethics reduce the gal lant Douglas? If he did not carry out the wishes of his constituents, they were to crush him at home; if he did carry them out, the democratic party of the Union were to grind him to powder. Was there in this anything but death to the Senator? Die if he did, and die if he did not.
