to be judged by their professions, they would
all be sainted as models If patriotism. Il is the
imperative duty of all true democrats to exercise q
wise caution and discrimination in listening to an
peals which propose to break NJ their established
organization. Within the last few days we have
had occasion to speak word Of warning on this
subject, which il rendered still more important bv
subsequent Developments We quoted and com.

for 1856 was already opened.
This declaration furnishes key to the movemonf

public attention for the last few months. That va

The authors of the address say

much though we be defeated after full performance Of
duty, as if We had an unbroken Sc of success.
This is clear Of all equivocation-" we have already
commenced the campaign the succession is the
point to be affected; and it is openly confessed
by the organ OF this m0vement-THE New YORK
HERALD-that this scheme, which looks to the suo-
cession, originated as soon as the cabinet was an
nounced. Commenting upon an article Of ours, the
HERALD says
The Union is right, also, in stating that the 'schsme

pies followed Immediately altar On the day which IL
formed part Of the cabinet good began to sohsms
to rescue the country from The impending d. niger.
We quote the admissions Of the HERALD as evil

the confessions of culprit made against himself
The outrage upon justice and fair dealing so far a.
the President is concerned, s no longer concealed.
The policy adopted by the Baltimore Convention,
and carried out by the President Is made the point
of attack and nothing short Of an abandonment and
reversa! of this policy will appease the wrath of the
malcontents. What commentary upon the preten-
sions to superior political purity and sound national
ty have IN the fact that the organ Of tn combi-
ration is COL Quoted by the editor OF the HsRALD.
whilst some Of his prominent co-labore.s are men
who have in times past, been stepped in abolItonism
and free soism. Think of the second in organic
command-the editor OF the National Democrat,
not long since Q clamorOus free soer, and his co.
worker of the albany Argus-in ls49 approving the
antisavery sectional sentiments of Mr.. Dickinson Of
that cay; and Mr.. Lester, the correspondent AZ

the energy OF his passionate nature With such lead

NEW YORK HERALD-itis bcrlesque upon political
integrity and adherence to national principles to SEQ
the South appealed to for sympathy and support.
But the evidence as to the progress of the cam.
paign Goes not stop here. At the late jubilee held in
New York to rejoice over the result in that State
in viii III SeWardsm ives triumphant plan of thu
campaign is distinctly laid down. The second reso-
luton adopted at the jubilee reads thus
Re Owed That the late election has demonstrated thas
the earnest wish and conviction Of democracy e
this STATE that the Senate of the United States The
preservation Of State rights and for thu rebuks Of the
cabinet which has dared to violate them should refuse 70

to be the rejection Of Mr. ReCfeld; and yet this gem
teman has never wavered in his devotion to the CON
stitutonal compro discs. He was the ardent advo-
cate Of General Cass in l848 and acted as an eeotoe

never countenanced free solsm to propitiate Judge
Bronson, whose record for soundness bears no COM
parison to that of Mr. Redfeld. But the main

worthy party will be formed, has ed upon the compro
mise, and that upon this national organization the
successor to President Pierce will be carried into
power. We have no idea Of discussing the c0mpro-
mise measures, nor have we any icea OF seeing
party formed upon the principle OF approval OF these
measures as its only test of nationality. We sdvoca
ted the passage Of these measures as an honorable
plan OF adjustment, and we still adhere to that opin-
ion But the great point with US does not look -
much to the approval Of those measures as in them
selves right as to faithful acquiescence in them ~
