Mr.. Dawson was succeeded by Mr.. Caleb
Gushing one Of Sthe Guard who gave express
sion to sentiments unparalleled in the history
Of our government for their profigacy and
shamelessness.
He openly and unbIushingly acknowledged
that the Administration which he termed a
.sConsti utional fact" "the God Terminus
and the Rock of the Constitution was utterly
without any fixed princit les, and was ready to
coalesce with any party. which would afford It
its support. He appealed to the ambitious
and interested motives of the different aspi-
rants for the presidency, and held up to their
view the inducements which were presented
to them to sustain the present administration.
He enlarged upon the means, which the Pre-
sident had of promoting or thwart;ng their
plans by the influence of his patronage or the
exercise of the Veto power And he warned
other parties by the example of the Wings of
The danger they encountered in coming is

lemns with becoming spirit this shameless
lvowaI ofthe most uEmitigated profgacy:
SIT is with pain that we record this
first instance of Executive influence
openly put up to sale in the face of the
at the people. The
Dretorian lands never so openly set
Up the imperial purple for sale in Rome,
'r so indecently offered it 70 that faction
which would promise most for the
opportunity ofprostituting it.
We cannot dive into Mr.. CUsH1NG's
thoughts; but, TO our apprehension, it
i'd not appear that he rendered these
nurtezan favors so much to his old
ompanions, (the Whigs,1 ss to some
ovices whom he hoped to entice from
ne ranks Of the Democracy. The
oarse, indecent overtures made 10 day

hief intended. The proffer Of to day ;
notice 10 the nation; and the man '
'ho is found in the embrace Of the Adj |
linistration, and supported by its mer-
tricious influence for the Presidency,
ill sink with it. Mr.. CUSHING must

character cannot be found among the |
rominent men ofthe Democracy" S
But that our readers may form their own n
Unions of the utter abandonment of principle |
hich is unb shingly avowed by the Presi-
'nt's confidential advocate, we copy a por- o
IN of the speech as it is reported: f
There was another consideration d
t ich ought to be looked at. It was now r
ot two years since, by the result Of f
e selections OF 1910, party revoIu- S
On was effected in the country;a new O
lrty was formed, and new men came [
to the Government. Since then there h
I'd grown up an internecine war in the p
nks OF that party, which had been b
lrsued for year and half past. In a
e meanwhile, there stood the Federal b
overnment, with its fixed Constitution a,
I'd all its several functions as deter c,
ined by that constitution, unchange- a
lie by the behests of party-a sort of c,
ID Terminus, with all these political til
d party changes going on around it. d.
gainst this fixed, immovable govern N
ent and constitution, they had seen di
e of these parties hnrl itself in the m
adness of desperation. And what til

thus holding the shifting relations to til
lich he had alluded had been dash er
to atoms at its feet. In the course -
this operation they had heard in that es
Ouse and throughout the country a
lie enough of mutual elimination and Is.
God alone knew, indeed
" much it was enough to suffer; pa
