The Washington Union of Tuesday con
tains an earnest appeal from one of the
“ faithful ” urging the party to rally, signi
fying, pretty distinctly, that without such
effort, defeat is inevitable. The following
passage occurs at the <»u>/*tt, and we sup
pose it may be regarded as a slip of the pen
for Locofocos are not apt to put themsi Ives
voluntarily on the public couftssional:
“ From my observation, there appears to
he a lukewarmness or apathy on the part
of th' Democracy of the country. ”
We fully coincide in the truthfulness of
this opinion, for out of an exchange list ol
Home hundred newspapers, we have not
been able to discover the first assurnneo oi
popular feeling in favor of Gen. Cass. In
the Free States, Mr. Van Buren has tin ided
and distracted the party, and in the South
there is settled distrust of one who has aban
doned his own section nnd sacrificed the prin
ciples of his own people for the purpose of
courting an adverse influence.
