The United Administration and the Uni
ted Democracy.

ted Democracy.
The most disreputable feature in the war
fare now being waged upon the adminstra-
tion by dsorganizing democrats is in their eff
fort to keep up show Of friendship for the
President whilst they denounce his cabinet
with unmeasured malignity. These are the
friends who smile and smile,' and yet carry
daggers under their cIoaks They are the
men who are so immaculate that they cannot
acknowledge fellowship with their late pOliti-
and honest in their professions of devotion to
democratic principles. Each hiatus in their
denunciatiens Of their late associates, for their
Hypocrisy and venality, is filled up with pro-
testations of confidence in the President and
abuse of his confidential advisers Such a
mode of warfare is unmanly and cowardly in
the extreme. The President knows how to
respect chivalrous foe, who unfurls his ban
ner boldly and marches to open combat; but
for him who cloaks himself in pretended
friendship, and yet uses the stiletto upon his
political family, he can have no other feeling
but one of sovereign contempt With all the
evidences of cordial union of sentiment be-
tween the President and his cabinet, it is das-
tardly Hypocrisy in these disorganizers to
profess ardent administration for the former
whilst they empty the vials of their malignant
indignation upon the latter. The President
disdains any such dishOnOrable exemption from
responsibility, and freely bares his bosom and
deies the steel of his enemies. The members
of the cabinet desire no exemption from ac-
countability TO the people, and cheerfully re-
ceive the blows aimed through them at their
respected chiet There is but one mind, one
spirit, united and indivisible, in the counsels
of the administration. Every attempt to di-
vide and separate them but draws the bonds
of their union closer. The spirit which ami
mates them is the same which warmed the
bosom and enlisted the energies Of every true
democrat in the late presidential contest
They lean with unshaken confidence upon the
strong arms and brave hearts of a united de-
mocracy. SO long as the thunder tones Of
democratic victories come booming In from
State to State, prOclaiming the glorious re-
suits of union in our ranks, they can look with
mingled pity and contempt upon the impotent
assaults and harmless threats of few infuria-
ted agitators. What if they succeed in disor-
ganizing the party in the Empire State, and
in throwing the power into the hands of our
regretted, New York is not the Union. But
common enemy-still, as much as it might be
amidst all the gloom that now darkens the pO-
litical horizon of that powerful State, we have
hope that the very madness and rashness of
the disorganizers will arouse the gigantic pow
er of the true heairled democracy, and yet
snatch victery from despair. We scorn 70 be-
lieve that the democracy which covered itself
with so much glory in the last contest is now
capable of the suicidal act Of dividing that
their enemies may conquer. Where are all
their proud recollections of past triumphs that
they do not rise up to quell the spirit Of fac
tious dissension which reigns supreme Let
the drum beat, and make the roll-call of the
dead, if it were, like the old sergeant Of the
Egyptians, to whom Napoleon cried before
Acre, Ha Old True Penny, where's your
regiment! advance, man; Sire, the regiment,
except this boy here on the drum and myself,
is there in the redoubt we took yesterday. =
Advance, boyr' And the old fellow ad-
vanced, stamping it gaily over the field, till
the great soul of France threw its generous
eagles and its battalions about him, and took
again the great point d'appa of St. Jean
d'Acre, the redoubt of Ceur de Lean. Les
sons of chivalry like these are not unknown in
the bright past of the Empire State the de-
mocracy Of New York, in solid column, de-
spite of faction, careless of opposition, can ex-
eel them. Advance, boy!' let that be the
new democratic watchword, and the Empire
State will be once more redeemed, regenera-
ted, and disenthralled from the reign Of fac
tiOn and Of terror Washington Union.
