Bsrnburnerfsln.
Monday ended everywhere the active existence OF the
barnburnng faction Its organ here died out quietly
IL into existence. 1t sought by yIrulence, de-
traction and fasehood TO create sufficient excitement IN
this community to give TO It's members at least transient
nooriey. The motives actuating the petty squad were
too apparent for many persons to be deceived On the
eighth of January last the leaders OF that faction In St
Louis condemned the abolition doctrine they have since
preached Hypocrisy self concelt and the unblushing
impudence which accompanies ignorance have
characterized their pitfuy aborive efforts They have
been ready, shown the special election at the Sec
ond ward TO become the capaws OF party or clan
which willing to soil freely itself by using them Of
course II is not denied that OF the small clan may
have been conscientious, is their right questioned to
quit the democratic party is surprising, however, that
their leaders should have been noted for every bad qualify
which they have falsely imputed to Gen Cass. The
active promoters of the here are pretty well
understood now and hereafter will be powerless,
for mischief. We have said but little concerning them
OF late because the faction was too insignificant TO pro-
woke notice Not democratic paper or speaker and we
may say voter, has failed to give his voice against both
the treason and the traitors
The idea absurd, that the patriotism of this coun
try would tolerate the formation OF geographical
party of any weight under the direction OF broken
down politicians, whose support of cause, however
good wond have rendered 1t object OF suspicion 10
the popular mind few days will enable MS to deter
mine the amount OF mischief caused by Van Burensm.
AS the truth reached the people who at first were de
ceived by the gross and wu missatements MADE, Van
Burens began to grow ''sma by degrees and beauti
fully less" Ii the presidential canvass had been pro.
longed two months, none but the old aboonists and
the few ''pet famiars" of Van Buren, would have re-
NAMED in The barnburning ranks 1t probable that the
Provso question will be settled at the coming session of
Congress If So what will become of the barnburners
The abolition ranks will be ready to receive them-none
other Certainly after the test to which they have been
subjected, the democratic party again repose
any faith in them The Journal OF Commerce has said:
'We wish add, that it is phlosophically absurd
for party constituted that is, with basis so narrow
and with system OF acion suicidal ever to succeed
The abolition alias liberty party has tried 1t ten or Twelve
yet they do not number IN their ranks one IN thirty
Of the OF the United States The soil party is the
abolition or liberty parry a little amplifed"
Thus far in the history of country, every attempt
weaken the bands of the Union by the organization of
factions geographical sectional grounds has strength
ened the confederacy In moment of passion preu-
dce honest may join such crusade but as soon
resumes its sway, he becomes indignant at the
deception pacsed and more especially at being betrayed
into movement conceived in bad faith towards portion
of the republic and designed TO produce the most dsas
trous consequences without the possibility of
any practical benefit Onya few years will eapse before
New Mexico California will become States and in the
time, why not let the people there control their
local aairs The outcry about slavery the mere cloak
of other designs for in ST. Louis everywhere, Van
Burens friends denounced the agitation of the subject
We have been unable consider them sincere that
point. They should have confessed at once, that their
sole object was to control the party or defeat it.
