TgyHE CONSTITUTION UNION.
Il WASHINGTON CITY, D. G.
DAILY AND WEEKLY.
THOMAS B. FLORENCE, EDITOR.

The present is the most momentous epoch of our
country's history. Fanaticism, embodied in the
Radical organization has seized possession of the
government, and, by means OF its large and I'M
scrupulous majority in the National Legislature,
is fast overturning the old Constitution Of our ia
theirs, and erecting in its stead military despot-
ISM means Of IS s widsIIH IS agd 6
portunity to substitute and nourish, the Radical
party has deluded a majority of the people in the
North into the belief that it is striving preserve
the Union and the Constitution and the Institutions
of our fathers. The only way to check the
ward progress of this most insidious fee to Repub
licanism, is to extend the circulation and encour-
age the efforts of the Democratic Press of the
country.
1t is to their Press that the Democracy of the
country must look for the means to prevent the
despostsm of the dominant majority from utterly
destroying the Republic. In this matter the De-
mocracy have been singularly apathetic. RELYING
ON THE INHERENT JUSTICE
of their cause they have neglected to take such
meaules as will SECURE IT'S SUCCESS.
Tie most important and effective measures for
the triumph of the principles of our fathers are
the patronage and protection of the DEMOCRA-
TIC PRESS. It's only by Democratic newspa
pers that the evil and the influence OF the Radical
press can be successfully resisted and thwarted.
"THE CONSTITUTIONAL UNION
has laborcd from the day it started with earnest
ness and zeal for the GREAT PRINCIPLES OF
1t has steadily maintained the doctrine, that ours
was a government of constitutional limitations :;
and neither the threats nor the brides Of power,
though lavishly exhibited, could induce it to de-
sert or to betray its principles. 1t has earned a
name for COURAGE, CANDOR, AND ZEAL,
which it will ever maintain 1t is the ONLY
DEMOCRATIC PAPER published at the seat Of
Government, and, such, appeals to the Demo
cratic party throughout the country for encour-
agement.
TuE wEEETv EDTTTON OF THE CON
STITUTIONAL UNION
is published on mammoth sheet, filed with orig
inal matter of high merit, repete with the latest
news and issued at date early enough to reach
every home by the last of the week. The publish
er confidently relies upon its merits to ensure 1t
wide circulation throughout the Republic, oelleV-
ing that great good can be accomplished through
its means. In order, therefore, to effect this end
he has put the price down to figure within the
reach of the most limited means. 1t isto the IN
terest Of every Democratic family in the land to
take journal of their political views published IN
Washington ; and as the high reputation OF ''IHE
CONSTITUTIONAL UNION" is a guarantee for its ex-
celence, so is it the to be desired and the
worthier of support from being the only Demo
cratic paper published at the seat OF the Federal
| Government.
