The Grand Campaign OF isj2-The De-
mOeratle Party, and the North and the
South.
We published, the other day, article briefly ex-
hibitDg the embarr assments and hard perplexties
which appear to stand ina noya5ly in the way of
any union cooperation between the Northern
and Southern detachments efthe wing party, in the
approaching Presidential election. We attempted
" prove from the Official proceedings of the WING
party in all the Northern States, where they
have formally made any declarations the sub
jest, that the whigs Of the Northern States are
pre-committed to Cen S,ott-that he is to be
the whig nominee by the will of the Northern
majority, which will have all power over the COZ
vention-thas the only concessions to be IN ade will
be to Seward, Weed, Greeley, aud their ring
treaked and striped confederates Of all colors,
m the unclean work o. free soilism, abolition and
ssditien-that for the first time in the country's
history a great party, discardng their Southern
brethren and the rights feelings and 81 mpathies Of
tbe South as not worth the candle, had resolved
to run General Scott as n sectional candidate, on
sectional grounds, Whatever the consequences to
him to them. or to the country. We also under
took to show that in game conducted upon such
loose and dshonorable principles, General Scott
must be victimzed, and the wing party Frustrated
Or that the DIST ,cting jeaousies between the two
sections aggravated 70 actual dissolution would, be
probs bly, the first fruits Of the whig victory.
The history OF the past-the state of the country
now-the wide spreading elements Of disaection in
the South, from extending disbeliefin Northern
promises, or Northern protection-the apparent
unaDimity with which the wings Of the Northern
States are proceeding after another upon their
sectional platform Of General Scott's nomination
the cavalier manner in which they give the admi-
nis,atior the go-by-the events Of each succeeding
day-only contribute 10 strengthen our impressions
Of the suicidal policy Of the wings, and the inevitable
results Of ruin and disaster to all concerned. A
merely sectional Northern candidate, upon North
ern Platform. canno. Withstand the shocks Of the
sauIaicu. His rickety fabric will fall, and arch
teets masons, bod carriers and all, will be mixed

thing in the late movements of the Northern wings,
IN short Indicative Of auytl ng but isas;e; them
selves, or mischief to the country.
The position, the dispositions, the movements,
and the prospects Of the great national democratic
party assume under such .ircu instances the highest
mror.ance. The division Of their adyersaries very
naturally suggests the FIRST necessity Of reunion
among themselves. They appear TO appreciate the
ne1tricable perFlexties into wnich the wings have
ALLEN by their own folly and logged subseryiency
IN Stewards higher law lnd the democrats, there
FORE though cut up, scattered, divided, killed,
wounded and missing, as they are, entertain a
lively hope Of victory from reunion Of the
party, upon nion ticket and Union princi-
pies. But the most powerful evidence that the
democrats can unite, is in the fact that the hfty
millions (sjO,OO00OO) a year Of the Treasury,
for the regular expenses and all the perquises and
contingencies hog jowls beef shanks, and marrow
bones Of the kitchen-w be all clear profit After
the election of General Jackson, down 20 the defeat
of Van Buren,, the democrats had 70 fight TO retain
in Office a set of very well satisfied Off ,ehoders;
hut in the contest Of 1852, they will win hf:y thou
sand prizes If they carry the day, and, If defeated,
they have nothing to lose. The wings, on the
other hand, in losing, lose everything; and in gain
ing they only eng.hen the lease to the spoils they
have already divided. The spoils, then, will be a
powerful incentive 10 union, and a national ticket,
among the democrats Their late fast has sharp
ened their wits and their appettes at the same time;
and party Of hungry men are very apt 10 be of
one opinion-that good dinner is the first object
and Il may reasonably be supposed that IL q union
of all their is required to secure this rich
