The Washington Union professes to stand impartial between the claims of candidates for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. The Rochester Advertiser thus exposes the hollow pretense:

As a sample of its entire partiality, The Union on Friday last published an editorial, covering more than a column in its ample pages, professedly devoted to a discussion of the question of availability, but in truth to the support of the claims of President Pierce to a re-nomination. In the prosecution of this "labor of love," the position of the Free Soilers of New York and of the North was recklessly falsified—by boldly and mendaciously assuming that they were and are firm and consistent supporters of the Kansas act, when the reverse is known to be true. But not contented with this, that same paper stigmatized the true supporters of the non-intervention policy as "spoils-loving Democrats," thus adding insult to injury, and the more dastardly because of the pretense of entire impartiality as to candidates!
