Progress Of the CampaiKn-Tho Basis or the
Third Party--Its Leaders and their object
When the second presidential term of Gen. Jackson
drawing Close the question OF the succession
involved the democratic party in discussions from which
il has never completely recovered. The detection as
sumed the characteristics OF peculiar devotion TO sound
democratic principles, whilst il sought TO keep out Of
view its ultimate purposes by ardent professions OF re-
spec and friendship for the integrity and patriotism oil
the Chief Magistrate The alleged errors Of his admins
traon were all ascrbed TO the treacherous counsels OF
friends who had obtained and abused his confidence
When the old hero discovered the conspiracy which
was being concocted for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and over
throw OF the democratic party, he addressed letter 10
an old friend in Tennessee. the father of one OF The
present California senator's in which he laid bare the
schemes OF the ntrgues, and denounced their move
men as treason to the democratic party. This letter
was the signal OF that bitter and unrelenIng warfare
which waged against him to the day Of his death The
result proved that he fully comprehenied the designs Of
his esemies and their fate has been constant warning
to all disappointed and ambitious politicians who have
since sought discussions in the party for personal
revenge or aggrandzement. His Gwin letter was de-
nounced as an understandable interference with the free
exercise Of thought, and Instance OF executive die
aon which called for the resistance of all true patriots
The macon,ens then looked to their old political enc
mics fer sympathy and support in their dsneresled war
fare upon the abuses of the administration. and in due
time they became part and parcel Of the wing party
We recur to these historical "reminiscences to remind
thu n
carefully the designs and ends OF that movement which
ia now seeking to control the administration, effect
its pros,raon If allow ourselves to be deceived by
fair professions Of superior love OF principles. we shall
forge, tina, ii is essential the of all schemes OF
tn. kind that they should the garb of purity and
dsin,eres,edness II political renegades and traitors
were TO be Judged by their professions they would all be
sain,ed as models OF patriotism. II is the imperative
duty of all democrats TO exercise wise caution and
discrimination in listening 10 appeals which propose TO
break up their established organization Within the las
few DAYS we have had occasion speak word OF
ing on this subject, which is rendered s more import
an, by subsequent developments. We quoted aud
menled upon late address issued by the leaders OF the
Young Mems Democratic Club Of New York, which
contained an that the campaign for 1856
was already opened This declaration furnishes key
to the movement, ia that State which has attracted so
much of the public attention for the last few mouths
That we may subject ourself to the charge OF mis-
representing this unfortunate declaration again quote
the language in which the announcement is made. The
authors of the address say:
"We call upon tbs young in this State, and through
he Union, begin forthwith patriotic and thorough

scheme which looks 10 the succession originated
