ism and its advocates, and the friends of all
who viii aid in purging the democracy Of the
country, of this corrupting element. We be-
lieve that those who are most anxious to puri.
fy the democratic party, and to disconnect it
from any form of abolition, are those patriotic
men of New York who belong to the Dickinson
school. To them, we extend the right hand of
good fellowship. Heart and soul, we are with
them, and we believe that the sympathies of
the interrupted people Of the country are with
them.
Of President Pierce we say what we all
along have said, and we say it sincerely: We
admire all his antecedents. We cordially APP
prove all of the sentiments of his inaugural ad
dress. We do not in the slightest degree doubt
that his message to Congress will command our
entire and unqualified approval. But so far
as he is implicated with the New York feud, if
implicated at all, we disapprove it warmly and
altogether. In this we are candid. But the
men who disapprove it in their hearts, and af
feet not to do so, are simply hypocrites and
spoilsmen. If this be treason, make the most
of it." g....

From the Alexandria Standard.

The readers of the Standard, and especially
the Alexandria public, will bear US out in the
assertion that we have discussed the New York
feud with reluctance; that as State contro-
versy, we were in favor of its being confined to
the State Of New York; that, as long as this
was the case, we knew no difference between
hards" and "softs," and that it was not until
the Secretary Of the Treasury, through what
we conceived to be mistaken policy had
aided in giving it national importance, that
we ceased to occupy neutral position. We
then espoused that cause which we regarded
the cause of truth and justice. We felt that a
sacred duty was resting upon us to speak out
in behalf of those northern democrats who had
been most friendly to southern rights Their
positions had been assaled; their motives inn
pugned; their characters aspersed. 1t was
thought by the timorous and time-serving that
they were in minority; that, backed by the
potent influence of governmental patronage,
and cheered on by the inspiriting voice OF
powerful officials, that the "softs" were to come
out of this contest victorious over all enemies.
We nevertheless saw the plain path of duty
open before US, and did not hesitate to follow
it. Conscious of the rectitude Of our purpose,
true to the PRINCIPLES Of the democratic party,
anxious for its integrity, observant of its usages
and defiant of the opposition of venal hacks,
we dared exercise the prerogatve Of entertain
ing and avowing our belief in the propriety Of
Judge Bronson's conduct and our conviction
of Mr.. Guthrie's error. ...s

From the South Carolina Spartan.

COLLECTOR BRoSsoN's REMovAL.-We lay
before our readers this week, the decapitation
letter," from Secretary Guthrie to Collector
Bronson.
We were advocates OF Pierce's election to
office, and we have been supporters OF his I'D.
ministraton-we expect to remain so--but
Wv reserve to ourselves the privilege Of con-
demning such measures Of that administration
as we think are defective in principle. We
will not permit ourselves to be so much blinded
by partyism, as to recognise manifest wrong
as right, simply because il is an act of the Pre-
sident's. Secretary Guthrie certainly acted in
this matter under the direction Of the Presi.
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1853-11-16

dent, and in the finishing stroke which it has
received at the hands of the Secretary, the af
fair has proved as disgraceful to the govern
ment as its bitterest opponents could have rea-
sonably desired it to be. At the opening of
the correspondence, we anticipated no such re-
suit thinking better of the prudence and for
hearance of those who hold the government in
their hands. In our judgment the removal of
Bronson is an act which cannot be justified,
and any attempt on the part of the government
or its friends to justify it, only makes the affair
more ridiculous. But the letter needs no COM
ment and every one who reads it will be fully
competent to pronounce judgment upon it.
We trust the cabinet hereafter may find some
thing to engage in, that may be better calcu-
lated to promote the interest of the country,
than this spirit of political prescription can
ever be.
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1853-11-16

il will be seen that there is a comparative gain
for the national democrats in most Of the counties
Of the State. The principal exceptions are in
New York, Richmond, Albany, Greene, Sullivan,
Oneida, and Otsego counties, which result is TO
be attributed to the influence Of national and State
patronage, and of the party newspapers, arrayed
principally in favor of the freesoil ticket in some
OF these counties. We may also name the per-
sonal and family influence Of Governor Seymour,
Attorney General Chatfeld, and other Van Buren,
leaders in Oneida Otsego, and Sullivan.
II is not probable that the official returns will
materially reduce the aggregate majority we have
estimated for the national democrats in the State.
They have abundant cause for congratuaton and
satisfaction nj the result Of this unparalleled cleo
ton, which will also furnish food for contempa-
ton to politicians throughout the Union.
COMPARATIVE VOTE BETWEEN CLINTON AND Cooley
II is well known that the mprudent speech
made by Mr.. Cooley the national democratic can
dldatc for comptroller, at Syracuse, week before
the late election, in which he abused the Presi-
dent in the most bitter terms, was highly disap-
proved OF by his political friends; and, conse-
quently, Mr. Cooley has run much below his
colleagues on the State ticket We give few
examples of the vote between Mr. Cooley and
George W. Clinton, the candidate for secretary of
State on the same ticket. G&.
Washington sentinel. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1855, 1853-11-16

A studied effort has for some time been on
foot, to stife all honest feelings of disapproval
of the course pursued by Secretary Guthrie
towards the New York national democrats All
the influences that could be brought to bear,
have been employed to arrest the strong, deep
seated feelings of sorrow, disappointment, and
disapprobation that have been excited. Among
other things, calculated to frighten timid men,
cautious time-seekers, and even honest demo-
Gratis, we have been told that to disapprove of
Secretary Guthries course-toupholdD Dickinson
Bronson, and their worthy compeers, is to quit
the President, and to organize an opposition.
We have met and combatted this absurdity SO
often, and, we think, so successfully, that it is
unnecessary to fight the battle over again.
Whenever and wherever, word of COM
plant has been spoken, it has been met with
an indignant declaration that no democrat can
disapprove of anything, done by any member of
the administration. He ceases from that mo-
ment to be a democrat. No matter how at.
tached, or how long attached, to the princi.
ciples of his party-no matter what services he
has rendered, he is promptly, and peremptorily
accommodated from that party.
Who gave to these mighty men the high and
sovereign powers they attempt to exercise
Who constituted them the guardians of democ-
racy? Who erected them into a court invested
with the power of political life and death? Did
they derive it from the freesoil faction Of New
York, whose cause they so warmly espouse?
Did they derive IL from that mighty chart
that death-dispensing circular Of Mr. Secretary
Guthriea
Let 1t be derived from what source it may,
we dispute the jurisdiction, and we laugh at its
mimic thunders of accommodation Because
man has no faith in the freesol faction-be.
cause man blames Secretary Guthrie for in
termeddiing, when he had no business to move,
he is forthwith opposed to democratic measures
and principles. .'.
1t Is high time that the eyes Of tho country
were opened. Freesoilism is arrayed on one
eide, pure national democracy on the other
and freese.lism is patronized and preferred.
Because we will not join in the organization,
and agree to sacrifice our old friends and CO.
AUDITORS of New York, we are opposed to the
President Sad the democracy! What next?
1t will not much astonish us if these mighty
men shall attempt to force us into the aaec.
tiopate and brotherly embraces of that ETH
opian abolitioniS:, the fragrant and unctuous
Fred. Douglas.
But we protest that we will have no part or
lot in this matter. We stand nowhere we
stood at first-the imPlacable foe Of freesoiI.
