NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY
INTERVENTION AND NoN-INTER
vENTIoN.
The United States Democratic Rsric,o
has come out boldly aud openly for inter
ven.ion. The Petersburg lva.) Democrat,
whose name indicates its politics, thus
speaks Of the course 0: the Rcricr::
sThe Democratic Rcrier no longer mer.
as the patronage Of the party. The Janu.
airy number gives abundan, evidence Of .
change Of editors. We do no, fiad in il the
commercial papers Of Ket,ell. Il has aban.
donad, too, its former conservative course,
and hiss become so fanaiical an advocate Of
the various isms Of the day as TO extort the
appreciation even Of The New York Fri
Bnne. The last number endorses the doc
trine Of Intervention in its utmost latitude.
Instead Of sound, serviceabIe information,
il gives the reader wild and vapid decla-
nation about liberty and despotism. il
does not even sustain The cause il advocates
with ordinary literary ability"
We commend the frankness Of the Pc
tersburg organ. We take il for granted
that il will be reluctant 10 support Gener-
al Cass for the Presidency, Of whom The
Detroit Free Press, General Cass' hume
organ, referring 10 the sfieclionale letter
which kossuih wrote to the general from
Turkey, says:
.1'hs Wing press made many para.
graph over il, but Kossuih wrote the letter,
aud those who know his character know
full well how be has priced The character
aud The principles Of General Cass. Those
,rko hare spoken as these f,cc men har.
spoken rifhin the last month, cannot be ia,
apart in feeling"
Nor should Douglass be my more &C
ceptable to the southern Democracy 10 re-
gard 10 Intervention than Cass. He ha,
been endeayoring to gel to windward 81
Cas- on that subject. He has tried to lay
up closer 10 the northern breeze. And
ibis very Democratic Rerier, 10 the very
number, and upon the very subject, Ia
which the Petersburg Democrat refers,
pats Douglass on tbs. back for bis interven.
ton doctrine, and evidently points TO him
IS the best representative Of its progress
i've views and its favorite candidate for
the Presidency.
Nor 10 MIR. Buchanan in a much more
favorable position on the Intervention sub
jecs, il bis organ the Philadelphia Pennsyl.
rasias, faithfully represents The sentiments
Of the northern Democracy. That paper,
10 . long article on kossu,h and Kinkel,
says:
,sThe doctrines preached Simultaneous
ly BY Kossuih and Kinkel have long been
promulgated by the Democratic party Of
slhis country"
Verify, the Democracy, instead of enter
tsiping themselves with Wing dissensions,
might be more proftably employed 10 al
tending TO their own household. They are
opposed 10 each other on free trade, Free
soil. improvement Of harbors and rivers,
and lastly, on Intervention. There are
squally times ahead for both parties, and
both may soon have 10 devote their ener.

instead Of firing into each other.
