Danger 10 the Democratic Party.

/ lDei huinlni9lall0n mas laQ the
good fortune thus far to win the al
most universal applause and support
Of the country. They who were
most Jealous and violent in oppe-
sing the election of President Pierce
ARE now either iervent in professions
Of appreciation, or else are silent in
their discomfort. There are those
who argue from this universal condi-
ton of things the extinction of par
ity spirit, and the dawn Of another
ezra Of good feeling This is a de-
fusion. President Pierce has achiey-
led a victory, but he has not made a
peace. The Wing party were de-
feated, but are neither humbled nor
subjugated. 1t is possible that 50
much Of party animosity, of ancient
prejudice, Of unbending principle, Of
Violent and hereditary antagonism,
can be subdued and propitiated in so
short time? Every body remembers
with what weapons of detraction,
abuse and Remuneration, the demo-
cratic party and its candidate were
assailed during the late contest; yet,
we Are to be told that the fierce con-
flict Of yesterday is succeeded by IA
iraternal alliance and perpetual
peace,a and that lile-and death strug-
gle of passion and principle was but
: the prelude Of Il millennium Of eeles-
tial harmony and good leeling This
is nonsense-a fallacy which, if cher
ished by the democratic party, will
result in incalculable mischief if not
in the ultimate overthrow Of theiI
I power. 1t has long been the prac1
tice of belligerents to avail them
selves of a truce to reorganize their
scattered forces, and to recover their
| strength; bat the wise victor was
! never led by their professions Of
peaceful intent, into an abandonment
of those measures Of preeaution
which were essential to his safety
TIE whig party are testing the viz
; tue of this expedient, and their pres
e ent professions of good will towards
the administration will be understood
by the wary as an evidence Of hostile
purpose and gu Indication Of future
trouble.
An ATTEMPT by the wing party t
d embarass or to discredit the admins
: tration at the present time would b,
G absurdly nug4tory. The current 0
! popular opini on which bore the ad
minisiration hto power is too stron:
y to be resisted 1t is the part of wis
q dom With the whig party to affect
If satisfaction with state "a thing
d which they cannot change, Ad to re
y serve their fire until there is som,
chance that i may be effectual.-
When the time to strike comes, tn,
| effect of the blow will be enhanced
e by the previous semblance of favo
& (which the Nhig party extended t
| the administration. No man can b,
/ SO stupid as to believe that the whis
lparty 1--WE speak not of the peopl
| bat Of the politicians are applaud
! ing the administration in good faith
| In many States representatives il
. Congress are to be chosen, and if thc
i democratic PARTY wish TO be success
full, they must stand upon the old is
sues, and adhere to their ancient or
! ganization. They never suffered de-
! feat but in times of indifference and
I d disappearing confidence, and they
e y jill always triumph when they rely
MI upon their own strength, and appeal
IL to their own friends. 1t il net sur
prising that the wings ~ish to 60 in
TO the Congressional contest with the
Il Pretenee of friendly feeling towards
Me administration, but it would be
: remarkable indeed if the dem cratic
r party we're to allow the enemy to rob
! them Of that strength which is de-
rived from the success and populari-
ty of thdiF own administration.
