GEORGE SAUNDERS ON THE RIGHT TRACK-George
Saunders, the conductor of that slap dashing, cut
and thrust, knock down and drag out periodical,
called the Democratic Reuiec, which has never
been heard Of since the nomination of General
h9lerce-George Saunders, who, with his Irish
writing editor, Thomas Deyin Reilly, undertook,
some months ago, the task Of extermnatng the
old fogies, and the election of Judge Douglas for
President, with or without nomination-ths same
George Saunders, where do you think, reader, he
is now 7. Is he at Washington log rolling among
members of Congress for the ebony steamers or the
public printing. or drinking jueps at the suburban
residence Of the Little Giant, or slipping champagne
and Congress water at Saratoga or rolcking in the
waves ut Newport or Cape May, or specializing in
lands, railroads, and land warrants in the West;
or has he, OH has he, gone to California He has
been invisible for some time among the quidnuncs
at the Astor House; but where is he He is
neither at Washington, Saratoga, Newport, nor
Cape May, nor has he gone to California. He has
abandoned Douglas, and is now cheek by jowl with
General Pierce in New Hampshire Yes, yes; at
the last accounts, Saunders was in Concord, and
hence, unquestionaby, the non. appearance Of the
jane number of the Democratic ReUieU, although
we are now pretty well into July. Saunders is in
Concord, and hence the harmony in the democratic
party.
The especial mission of Saunders is, no doubt, to
set General Pierce right in regard to the past
policy Of Young America. Doubtless, General
Pierce labors under the very prevalent mistake that
Judge Douglas was the candidate Of Young Ame-
RIGA, including Saunders, OReilly, Kossuth Kinkel,
and Cory; but we are quite sure that our New
Hampshire correspondent is correct in saying that
George has gone to Concord to prove that General
Pierce and nobody else was the candidate Of Young
America all the time 1t is further said that Saun-
ders was only humbugging Douglas; that Douglas
is a small potato, and was only fit to be used by
Young America as man of straw. to cover their
real designs Of having Pierce nominated on the
forty.ninth ballot In other words, Young America
saw that Marcy must be defeated, and he was de-
feated-thst was their first object. The second was
to nominate Pierce; and, thanks to Saunders and
Cory, that too was accomplished, just in time to
prevent an explosion, and to save the party.
Now we think we have the real clue to the Donel-
son and Greer correspondence. George Saunders
must have concocted it, as first effective broad
side to kill off Sam Houston and the old fogies.
Perhaps, too, he is the real Captain Scott who
caught in the Fugitive Slave trap no less than
thirteen democratic candidates for the Baltimore
nomination, including Douglas; but let Pierce 90
Scott free. WE'LL we are in the midst Of great and
mighty Developments; and doubtless, if the June
number of the Democratic Review is printed, We
shall be largely enlightened on the real position Of
Young America. The mission Of Saunders to Con-
cord is good thing. He is on the right track, and
still little ahead Of the old ogies. Hurry up the
June number. We can't wait till August
