cause OF the SpoIlSnen The leading Sodthern
democrats of the House. and the leading demo-
cratic organ of the South, from the once con-
servative Richmond Enquirer to the late cen
trail organ of the red hot secessionists- ts-the
Charleston Mereury-aro all of the same mind.
the true platform of the party is the administers
ton, the Cabinet coalition for the spoils.-
What care modern journals the and the mopern
statesmen Of the South, for abolition agitators,
or the slavery question, with five hundred mil
lions of the spois in the opposite scale! Shoot

Weare stilldrilting onward. The Iaxity, the
foggy loosness and confusin ofafflirS at Wash
ington, on all questions except the spoils, fore
shadow nothing but evil. The fraud of the late
Presidential election is producing legitimate
fruits. We have shown that the mOnsrtl;ss
amalgamation of cliq9es and parties under this,
administration, the painfully ludlcr6us diilsl7il
of the offices, the rapacious conspiracy for the
FIVE hundred millions of the public plunder. are
the results of good and sufficient causes. The
mischief thickenS. There is storm brew

only be ceansed by thunder and lightning.-
The spoils puIiiician OF the South may echo the
tannts Of Gerrit Smith in the Honse against the
national Union men of the bOdy-the Cabinet
organs of the South may cry out ''peace.-hut
there is no peace!" The auti-Slavery factions
of the Moth will seize the golden opportunity for
renewed action-the Northern Union men who
have resisted them thus far with success, being
trampled down bv South, will leave the field
open to the enemy. All parties in the North
will shape themselves, more or less, to the anti
slavery platform: and our Southern friends will
ouly wake up from their dreams of the spo!s to
meet combined assault upon the institution of
slavery which may drive them to the fearful
hazards of secession and revolution.
Such is the drift of the wind and the tide
Corruption an0 confusion are the natural con-
sequences of attempting to establish frand
upon the country IN the election OF General
Pierce, free soiler, for President. But the
work will go on to the end. This Congress will
do nothing but wranse for the spoils, while all
parties, all factions in the North are preparing
to rush into ant-slavery and CONFUSION. The
sweeping corruptious involvedin the five hun
dred millions of the puhuc pl lnier will swallow
everything. Resistance will be useless till the
spoils are secured. Bat the reaction, when it
comes will heterrble. Hurrying, as we are,
to a life ar death slru rgle upon the slavery ques-
tion. we can ALREADY realize the full import of

giving thought and care to the diversified utter

has perhaps hitherto prevented that attention
to the subject which ITS importance demanded.
1t is therefore very right and proper that the
representatives Of the women oi IS, to whom
the name aud memory of WASHINGTON, as the
successful champion of their country's liberty,
are especially dear, should take up this matter
in manner that can leave no doubt of its ul
