WOES or TUE DEMOCRACY.

When Gen. Pierce came into power everybody Of IN
telgence oresaw that his path beset with difficult
ties lie had been elected by votes from every side of
nearly all parties He got the entire Democratic vote
including the secessionsts Of the South and the Barn
burners Of the North He obtained the sufrages Of
the Union men of the South of Wing Silver Grays of
New-York, of Webster men of Massachusetts,, Of
Huuker Wigs everywhere. All sorts and kidneys
affiliated and put him in, from the Wallstreet repre-
sentatives of foreign capitalists with foomen in livery
and the touch-me-not aristocracy of the F. T. VS. to
the genuine hardfsted democratic voters who don't
stop to Judge for themselves but blin1y follow whatsO
ever standard bears the charmed name of Democracy
The stream was swollen from every rll, and General
Pierce went in on the top of rOusing freshet.
The question at once arose as to what method could
be adopted to give unity and consistency to The party
that had elected him. The odds and ends not Of
so much consequence but how could Ne main battalons
of the Democratic party proper each hitherto acting
the Slavery question and at the previous Presidential
election on its hook and in opposition TO one ano-
ther, be united. On what basis could these dscordant
elements be amagamnted so that they could compose
consistent aud harmonious whole Or should Gen.
Pierce, refusing to recognize the iortuous combinations
Tint Lad resulted in bis election and ignoring all past
party dissonsiOns proceed to naugurate a politi
cal era and lay down platform Of principles for his
party and without reference to the past demand simply
adherence and support the basis of the new organi
zation
Gen. Pierce, consulting the dictates of iimd pru-
dcncc, determined that he would undertake the con.
