IN he most vifuieht tcrns upon inc uedus " WIS ecp
cratic party We have seen nothing 70 supsss' u 70
equal its filthy dalbs upon the democrats in Congress.
in lis yesterdays paper We defy the most centious
and indecent OF the whole wing press to surpass Its
shameless attacks upon OF the most distinguished
democrats in Congress- Let il proceed in this shameless
work Of vuperation II cannot affect their characters
II cannot shake the confidence OF an intelligent people 10
the objects Of its unmeasured abuse 1t cannot inmidate
any democrat in the discharge Of his duty. They look
down with scom at such miserable abuse and at its mis-
cradle authors Its TRADE is absurd as II is falseex-
rayagant as it is coarse; and, fortunately. its very
excess is calculated to strip il OF all its power to
njure its intended victims But there is another point
Of view in which we regard all such attacks. Let
il pour upon the heads OF the democrats all the filth
which emanates from the members of the administration
II will only unite the democratic party the more firmly
together. general sympathy OF indignation for the
injustice which has been extended to some OF its cham
pions will bind them the more compacty together Ma.
tona parties always safer than sectional divisions
When great national parties arrayed against each
other they spread through the whole Unon and instead
OF dividing sections from each other they unite them BY
common bonds principle and OF sympathy The effect Of
this ruthless prescription Of the Republic must be to bring
the members Of the republican party together TO weaken
any sectional feuds that may perchance, exist among
them and prepare them for amore concatoy and CON-
promising spirit when the great sectional question shall
come up for final adjustment When that question shall
come up, shall have to invoke every kindred feeling
which has long animated the democratic party, under
the influence OF the great national questions and general
principles which have created the division among the
two great parties for than forty years When that
question is to be settled it be settled by that spirit
Of Cancellation and compromise Of equality and of JUS
tice in which the constitution itself formed As il
was established in those principles, only it must be
maintained and preserved.
Let the Republic, then, abuse the democrats much
as peases. Who cares for such a censor' Who re-
CARDS the denuncation Of such contemplate organ Of
this imbecile administration
The policy Of the administration, az exhibited by
the article in the Republic Gts avowed organ,) is to
bully and calumniate all members Of Congress who shall
dare 10 assert the rights Of their constituents when the
assertion OF those rights shall in any way conflict with
the views Of the Executive or his cabinet In an editc
rial in that paper Of the Sd Of January prepared with
great labor and greater disregard Of the facts gen.
tlemen who, during the last session, voted for the
main question on Cots resolutions, are identified
with abolitionists and ree-soiers 1t is little re-

the passage Of the resolution was cast Then all the
solers and abolitonss voted for those infamous
resolutions and the Republic loudly complains that they
compelled to discover their hostility the South
The deep and bitter feelings of their hearts were deve
oped and their apoogist complains that southern repre-.
sentaves insisted and succeeded in removing the mask
which, under deceitful smile, concealed the purpose OF
destruction to southern rights. No gentleman whose
drove out all preenders moderation can ever re-
greet his agency in that transaction II is in vain that any
such shallow device attempt TO associate southern
gentlemen with free soers and aboonsts shall be EN-
poyed The South cannot be deceived 1t equally vain
endeavor oimpose upon them by thedeclaraon that
Winthrop would have laid Colts resolution the table,
had there been tie On occasion, upon the question
OF laying anti slavery memorial the table, tie was
supposed to exist, and Mr. Winthrop voted for the re-
ception The organ of southern President ISLANDERS and
evies southern gentlemen, who compel the enemies OF
their institutions to show themselves on the record but
not word Of upon those who voted for and
passed Colts resolutions II is, as we expected false
hood and calumny are brought aid an administration
whose purposes and whose policy look to the prosaion
of the South. The contempt OF all good men must
be aroused against the administration and its organ,
who employ such means to effect their unholy
purposes. II is scarcely necessary to brand de-
lberate falsehood the charge that Messrs Meade and
venable, at I'd genus advised Of the correspond
ence of Brown and Wilmot when they voted for him.
Those gentlemen would consider themselves soiled by
condescending to contradict such paltry SANDER II
no doubt will amuse Mr.. Venable to perceive how
painful TO the administration and the organ the resolution
of inquiry as to California seems to be. Whether the
resolution offered by Mr. Clemens in the Senate Mr.
venable in the House, be the same thing or not, is
matter OF small consequence Those who call it
thunder must be extremely sensitive and nervous, when
any in quiry directed to the White House and the depart
ments makes such confusion in the camp The call
made because the President chose 10 be peculiarly silent in
his message this subjects and the editor Of The organ Of
the administration is mistaken, il he supposes that food
Of Bingsgaie shall obsruct the exercise Of the rights
OF gentlemen on the floor OF the House. He is engaged
in an enterprise which sngulary exhibits the despera
ton OF his folly, when he endeavors to assai Messrs
Bayy venable, and others, because they willing to
hear Messrs. Giddngs and Schenck reveal their mu
tua grievances and disclose in discussion the real
position Of the parties with whom they acted upon the
great question which now agiates the whole republic
and mingles with every subject Of legislation The dis
cussion between Giddngs and Schenck TO the
