that has peopled continent and secured to us
that stupendous panorama of industry, the like

Inc IMAM. Reformer of Bethlehem-that incar-
nation of human progress--was not entrusted
to Herod and the wise men of his kingdom.
The great charter was wrested from John by
the Barons Of England but the beneficial pro-
visions of that compact were not int ended for
the people, II was only in subsequent events
that its benefits were realized by them. Not to
politicians and parties are we indebted at all
for the position we occupy. In the hour ofdan-
ger they are powerless for good, by dividing
our allegiance-in the hour of prosperity they
do little else than to sow the seeds of discord
between rival interests and sections which
otherwise would readily harmonic and agree
How well is this illustrated in the course of
the present Cabinet. Before they toisted their
nostrums upon the country the people had set
tied down into quiet conviction that the
struggle of 1852 had overwhelmed all the agita-
tors and disturbers of our domestic peace. So
it really did. Not one man in fifty desired or
thought of the resurrection of the Van Burens
not the Van Burens themselves supposed for
moment that they could, so soon, become
Ugh priests to minister at the altar of democra-
cy. As soon might Judas have expected the
benefits of an amnesty from him whom he be-
trayed; as well might Arnold, after his treason,
have expected to supplant Washington in the

fections of the American people. We have no
faith in such miraculous conversions; none what
yer in the regenerating power Of the spoils to
reform and elevate mankind. By its use
the Cabinet has sunken almost beneath
contempt; while it has served only
to bring out into holder relief the
treachery of those free sellers and aboli-
tonists to whom it has been dispensed. 1t has
proved that fanatics were traitors-that men
were not led away by the pardonable impulses
of benevolence-but by the cold counsels of
treason What is most wonderful of all is, that
the present Cabinet should assume. through its
half dozen pensoned organs, to speak for the
American people Having sacrificed their in
terests and installed the worst men of the coun-
try into their Offices, the weakest being in the
Executive department having made ola de-
mocratic triumph Seward and Van Buren,
dynasty the coalition assumes to interpret
every mans duty. and to settle the terms of
his political salvation. Whence comes the au-
thority for all this presumption? The answer is
upon US in advance-it is the triumph Of the
democracy in the recent elections. We rejoin
to the Cabinet that the people have cause Of
their own to vindicate-that when they vote
it is not to sustain hanging cluster of political
hybrids, just ready to fall from the wrinkled
stalk of power. The weakness Of the wings is
not the strength of the Cabinet. That party
has been abolitionized, and lost. The life it
exhibits is but crawling insects, consuming its
decaying substance. Assure the people that ma
tionalism is to be driven from the councils of
the President-that niggerism is to find per-
manent Judgment there-that fidelity to the
constitution is to be pro.cribed-that traitors
are to be rewarded-that mere politicians and
| spoilsmen are to rule, and the verdict now ap-
plauded will fall upon the recreant Cabinet like
| the axe upon the n eek Of the culprit.

RUFFIAN JUBILEE IN THE PARK.-On Satur-
day last there was jubilee in the Park, ac-
companied with lusty cheering, the waving OF
banners, and the firing Of cannon, in glorifca-
ton over the release Of convict from the Peni-
Tertiary. This was Van Buren, freesoil coali-
ton party affair, gotten up, we presume, by
the demoralized cabal now in occupation of
Tammany Hall, and ip brazen defiance Of all
considerations of decency law and order. 1t
was the mere overture in rowdyism to what we
may expect if this rampant spirit Of the ring
taken under the protection Of the Van Buren,
party, is permitted to gain permanent legal
lied footing in this city.
The leaders in this aforesaid jubilee are res
ponsible for the disgraceful affair; but what
care they, if through such allies as pugilists
and hired DULLES they can accomplish their
| purposes, push themselves into power by brute
force, and secure the monopoly of the Federal
and State plumber? Let this Van Buren, free
soil coalition succeed and we may safely count
upon such sy stem of public plundering and
| private decentralization, as will n The end leave
the canals high and dry. the commonwealth
in bankruptcy, the people overwhelmed with
increased taxation, stock jobbing, swindling
bad debts, and ruinous depreciation Of pro-
perty. These are the natural tendencies of the
party concerned in this Park jubilee for when
public celebrations over liberated convicts are
held in the open Park, in broad daylight, the
question is fairly presented whether we shall
hereafter have the laws of the land and the cor
poration for our protection, or an organized
band Of pugilists, cut-throats, and confirmed
desperadoes from Blackwell's Island. Such are
the Developments of this Van Buren, free soil
party, and such the partizan aninities which
are conspiring to break down the administra-
ton of Gen. Pierce.
