The DEMOCRATIC Parry he last nun
tic) contains al article from the pen of Hon
Edmund Burke, on the condition Of tho De-
mocratlc party, from which We make the fol-
lowing extract:
"What now is the condition of affairs, and
what the prospects: In Maine the Democratic
party is dsorgailized and defeated In New
York 1t is in condition far more desperate
In this State, with the aid Of the National De-
mocra,s, who have been prosecuted and pro-
scrbed by the President and his mlnions, the
Democratic party is barely saved from defeat.
In Massachusetts there is no Democratic party
nothing but poor, mercenary. unprlnclpled,
contemplate faction, calling themselves De.
mocrats, who yearly co,lesce with the Free
Soiers, and who support the Administration
nomlnally only In consideration ui the crumbs
which fall from the Executive table. In Yer
mont there was never Democratic party worth
saving. In short in every State north of Mason
g. Dlxon's line, the Democracy is more or less
demorazed and disofganized and al this mo-
ment, Gen. Pierce, if he were before the people
for election, could not carry one of those
| States. This is a sad picture to draw of that
noble party-a twelve month since SO proud, so
invincible but 1t is true to the letter. The
| Democratic party Of the Union, at this moment,
is demoralized and powsrless. However un-
palatable it may be to the friends and admirers
| Of the President, it is more than folly for them
to shut their eyes to the fact.
The causes of this great, and to the President
and his friends, notifying revulson of public
opinion, are obvious to every man of ordinary
intelligence. We do not propose to go into a
particular consideration of these causes. 1t is
sufficient to say that the great and prominent
cause, is the failure Of the President to conduct
his Administration upon the great Union pr,n-
eipie upon which he elected. The first
grand error was in constituting Cabinet of
Free Soilers, Dlsunionists, and quondam
Wings 1t was reputation OF the great prin-
ciple, to the influence of which he owes his
election. The other great causes-the proscrip-
ton of the National Democracy IN the North,
and the Union men of the South the Tyler
policy of buying up presses and rotten poitl-
clans with the patronage Of the government
the attempt to create, by such means, an I'D
minisiration Party IN contradistinctlon to the
Democratic party, in order to secure the re-
election of the Presldent-we say these Other
great errors followed as matter of course
from the original grand mistake"

1t is probably true that the document was wfit-

Webster was then suffering from that chronic
complaint which so painfully affected his eyes
Unwilling that the reply to the Austrian Min
lister should longer be delayed, and having full
confidence in Mr. Everett's ability in the pre-
misses, he sought his aid, 20 far as the labor of
the task was involved, and Mr., Everett no doubt
cheerfuly scceded to his wishes. To suppose
that there was no consultation between the gen.

D. WHAT THEY sA, OF Preside vr PIERCE.


= The following are specimens of the express
sions of opinion which the course Of this pre-
cious administration is calling forth from poll
tical friends as well AZ opponents. At the
regular monthly meeting of the New York
loung Mems Democratic Committee, it was
Resoired That the result Of tho recen, cleo
tlons n New Hampshire. Rhode Island. aud
Connecticut, Is To be attributed to the loss oi
the confidence ofthc Democracy in the fidelity
of the President to those great principles which
achieved his election and to the unprlnCipled
conduct Of his apoils cabinet; that while we
regret the loss Of these States from the tri
umphant phalanx of 1852, we must still view
the sacrifice with that stern conviction which
acluated the Roman judge in condenning his
own son.
Mr. Douglas lately on being informed that
the President had intiniatcd that opposition to
the Nebraska bill would not be regarded as
treason to the administration, said
81 anticipated that he would fuini, aud &C.
cured his official signature adopting It an
administration measure. lie may now back
out and be d---d."
At a social meeting at the house of De-
mocratic Senator in Washington, some of the
company were speaking rather contemporary
was present SAID
"Iou are wrong, gentlemen, to speak dis
paragingly of President Pierce; he has done
one thing which none of you could have ac-
complished.'
"What is that" was demanded on all sides.
"Why," replied Seward, "he has given dig
nifty to the administration of John Tyler by the
contrast of his own"
Says the Buffalo Erpr,". Twelve months
have elapsed, and during that brief period,
like the prodigal, Franklin Pierce has wasted
his political substance in the grosscst prosti-
tuition His political estate is hopclcssly
bankrupt, and he has fallen from his proud
position of strength to the abect position
which belongs to the weakest public men in
the country. lie had nearly gambled away
his political all, when he threw for slavery in
Nebraska, and became paupcr by the turn
of the dice. He is not the only ambitious man
who has been ruined under similar circum.
stances,-but few, however, have succeeded
so fully in so short time.
