encourage, or justify his abors 10 follow Their
example. The power which aas proved omnip'
otent in such cases in monarehies, we presume
he has no design TO employ.
We have shown that Mr.. Van Buren, has
gained nothing since 1910. The inquiry re
mains-has he lost anything as candidate
We viii q, this time content ourselses by IN
dicating two powerful classes that labored ar
IDENTITY 10 1910 10 contribute 10 his retention OF the
Presidency for another term, which must now be
ranked with the most Jealous opponents OF his
restoration. The first comprises those who have
fallen, from time TO time, during the last two
years, under the ban OF prescription of the Globe
aad its associate Van Buren, journals. Their
crimes have been various. Some have yentured
to solicit or accept office from President Tyler
some have deemed the Administration en-
s,led 10 the gratitude and support OF
the Democratic party others have dared 10
prefer Colonel Johnson, John c. Calhoun,
Charles Stewart, James Buchanan, or Lewis
Cass, to Martin Van Buren,; others, again,
have openly buked the Globe and its affiliated
presses for their cut-throat proceedings and sui
cidal course. These have all had the g damn
ing spot" affixed TO them, and are aware that
nothing but persecution can result to them from
the ascendency of Mr. Van Buren, and his into
lerant junto. To form some estimate Of their
strength, il is only necessary to recur to the
fact, that in their ranks are The distinguished
Democratic Governors Of Pennsylvania and
Ohio. We might go farther, and include among
them Buchanan, Calhoun, Cass, Stewart, and
Johnson. Those gentlemen, or some of them
may be constrained by circumstances to with
draw from the contest, and seem to acquiesce
them TO Mr.. Van Buren,. Their future, how
ever, demands his defeat. IL is too manifestly
their interest TO destroy him, and with him the
jpre-arranged succession, and they are too saga
cious not TO perceive it, to admit doubt OF theiI
disposition. They may sacrifice much feeling
aud appear to embark cordially in the struggle,
bat the spirit of their labors, as well as the fruits
will differ widely from those Of 1910. There
is abroad, among many of the leading champ
ons of Mr.. Van Buren, in that contest, and their
hosts Of friends, something more than apathy

eiated when the trumpet tones Of the ballot box
are heard
The second class to which we allude comprises
the young, ardent, enthusiastic. and efficient
members Of the party, who long for its re-organ-
ization. Under its present auspices they can
hope for nothing like equality in the dispensalion
Of its favors. Their voices are drowned in the
howl of the paid minions of an irresponsible and
despotic cabal. Taught TO believe that Demo
cracy Is something more than a cant term or
unmeaning name; that its principles are those
OF the Constitution and our Republican polly
they stand amazed at the sacrifice of all that they
have hitherto deemed sacred, which is demand
ed for the qualification Of a single member of the
party, who has already received its choicest
bounties. Every State, city, town, county, and
village, in the Union, will contribute It's quota
of troops TO this gallant Army Of Democratic
Reformation" The announcement Of Mr..
Buren's nomination will be the signal for the
display of It's banner
