now secured the signal defeat Of that ticket
these men we say, are they any worse now il
respect to slavery-any worse in respect to an
ti-slavery principles and sentiments than they
were when, by their annual votes, they maintain
ed the ascendency of the Democratic party in
the State to which they belong? Their opposi
ton to the extension of slavery over free terri
tory has not been created by the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise. The sentiment has ex-
listed in full force with them all the time that
they have been voting the regular Democratic
ticket, and been recognized as good and sound
Democrats; and their voting against that ticket
now, is only the manifestation of pre-existing
feelings and sentiments the subject of slavery.
1t is clear, therefore, that the Democratic
party ofthe North has owed its continued as.
tendency to the support and votes of men, to
act with whom now for the purpose of defeating
the regular ticket sof that party, is denounced
by the official organ of the Administration as
unspeakahly "basen in the Whigsl Why, is
fusion with those men on the part Of the
Wings, for the purpose of defeating their Dem
ocratic opponents, any worse than fusion
with them for years on the part of the Demo
Gratis, with a view to the continuation of their
party ascendency?
But again: The official organ and many of
the lesser organs of the party effect to believe
and most confidently asservate, that the disas-
trious defeats that have recently overtaken the
Democratic party at the North are only tenn
porary reverseS-that that party will only rise
the stronger for the knocking down and that
"a good time is coming when the king shall
have his own again. And pray how is all this
to be done? How is the Democratic party in
New Hampshire, Maine, Iowa, &C., to recover
its ascendency? Not by accession from the
Wing RANKS; but by q return to the illusion"
which SO long, and so amicably, and SO stisfac-
torily, existed between them and these very Sc
ceders, for uniting temporarily with whom at
the late elections, for the purpose of defeating
the regular Democratic ticket, the Wings in
those States are now visited with so much re-
proach and objurgationl Is it not as clear as
the sun at MONDAY that the Democratic party
at the North, now PROSTATE in the dust can
never rise unless it be lifted up by the very men
who constitute "the isms and the factions
by the free-soilers and extreme anti-slavery
men-who recently tripped it up and laid@t
fiat on its back? And to that very consume
ton the official organ OF the Administration is
now looking with all the hope it can muster. 1t
processes to look for restoration" of those
Democrats who have gone astray THAT is, re-
fused to vote the regular Democratic, Admins
traton ticket on account of the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise. Those anti-slavery
Democrats who have gone off are sure to return
to the Democratic fold, the organ thinks, SO
soon as their eyes are opened to the the prac-
teal, freedom-securing effects of the principle
ofterritOrial, or "squatter sovereignty" as in
corporated in the Nebraska bill. Is Nebras
ka Democratic member ofthe last Congress re-
nominated for the next? Beautiful" exclaims
the organl Is member who voted against
the Nebraska bill re-nominated? GAIL right"
quoth the organ!
Depend upon it, those who have gone off will
have an easy time in getting back ifthey choose
to 60 No apologies will be demanded at their
hands-no Reputation of their antislavery SEN
questions asked" of them as to
where they have been or what they have been
doing. As the Disunionists and Buffalo plat
form men who attended the Democratic Nation
al Convention in 1852 were received with glad
ness and made to occupy the chief seats In
the Synagogue, SO will the returning prodi-
gals of the "isms and factions" with whom it is
now "base" in the Wings to associate, be re-
ceived at the Democratic National in 1856. As
a platform was studiously prepared in 1852, not
requiring, according to the official organ, any
approval of the Compromise measures of 1850:
so, doubtless will platform be prepared in 1856
not requiring any approval of the Nebraska
bill of 1854
In short whoever viii help set the Democratic
party on its legs by voting for the regularly NOM
mated ticket for President and Vice President
in 1856, may go off on any ''i8m," or act with
any ''faction" in the interim with impunity, and
may be sure that all his sins will, in the esti-
nation of the leaders of the party, be complete
" wiped out. While the Democratic seceders are
to be thus tenderly dealt with, woe unto the
Wings who have for the present consorted with
them for thepurpose of ousting from power their
old antagonists. The seceders-the deserters-
shall be tenderly dealt with, carefully nursed,
wooed back, received the very incest titbts of
the calf that shall be slain TO welcome their re-
turn;-but the Wings with whom they acted
while astrays why they shall be given over to the
maledctions of the entire Democratic press of
the Unionl
Well those malediction, coming from the
source they do, will not we take it, hurt much
They are understood and duly appreciated by
