The Senate Of the United States in the
presentation Of The Boston petition have dis
covered that Che anti-slavery agitation rests
upon the ueditious principles Of Seward,
Sumner and their associates il the cause
of free soil and abolitionism. Yet a little
moro than one short year ago the country
was quiet there was no agitation and no
apprshensions Of agitation.
The people of both sections cherished the
delusive idea that the national Union prin-
cipIes upon which Gen. Pierce Was elected
would Be faithfully carried Out-that Free
soilism and abolition section, and all dis
unionists, whether from the Buffalo plat
form or from the Nashville convention,
would be officially repudiated by the adj

with the governing Union principals Ofth

Experience has demolished these extrava-
CANT expectations. The administration
andits policy and party have been dedicated
by coalition offree sellers and secession
lists. Its original adherents upon principles
are outside the camp, and its established
banks of cohesion are "the cohesive power
of the public plumber"
There is no national whig party--therei is
no national democratic party upon princi-
Piles. The administration party is limited
to the spells for neither the Missouri com.
promise nor the Nebraska bill is made the
test of party allegiance; and while the
Washington Union repudiates the Know
Nothings the lesser organs of the cabinet
are free to denounce the Irish Catholics
without reserve or limitation. AT this cri-
sis of the utter decentralization and disor-
ganizatiOn ofthe tWo late national political
parties Of the country upon the plausible pre-
text of the repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise no wonder the great body of the North
ern wings portion of the Buffalo democra-
cy and all the outside abolition and seditious
factions OF the North should be moving for
a grand combined assault insolid phalanx
against the South. No wonder we say; for
Why should not the anti-slavery factions
seize upon the present golden opportunity?
che democratic party is divided and demon
allied the whig party is destroyed the adj
ministration is poWerless there is no existing
national organization capable Of resisting
the Northern Holy alliance: and why then
should they not take the field and boldly
throw down the gauntlet of defence to the
South? They are moving on all sides. to
this end-they are kindling up the agita-
ton to living fre-they are casting their
ere brands into the Senate and jet the
