DIsUNIoY Is THE DESIGN OF THE CoALI-
TIONISTS
DISH

1t should be distinctly understood that the proposition
restore the Missouri restriction by the repeal of the Kan
and Nebraska act is deliberate design
which has for its ultimate obccta dissolution Of the Union
We do that this design cherished by
all who have espoused the proposition but do mean to
affirm that the active efficient and prominent promoters
Of tho issue Of epea actuatcd by fixed purpose
sever bonds which unite the North and the South the
East and the West in great conedecy. Ths, the
peal Of the Kansas and Nebraska law Is presented as
broader and deeper design is demonstrated
by the fact thatt is known by all that the proposition is
wholly impracicable What that broader and deeper de
sign is be ascertaincd and exposed with unerring
certainty by combining together a few well-esablshed
facts and circumstances which the lurking treason
becomes palpablc deduction
twill at once be conceded tina, the aboonsts proper
the Phllipscs the Parkcrs and the Garrisons-arc the
most clamorous uneompromising and prominent origna
and advocates Of the repeal proposition And yet It is
not less notorious that with this class disunon has long
been Fixed and avowcd sentiment and purpose Can any
suppose that after having warred strcnuously for
years against the Missouri Compromise the aboonists
advocating its restoration, with broader
deeper design than exclude slavery from Kansas and
Nebraska
Next In olamorous prominence amongst the advocates Of
repeal stand the political aboionsis-a class which
possesses and tcnold influence than the abo
litioniss proper The editor Of the New York Tribune
Horace Greeley Is the accredited organ of this class II is
mainly through this channel that the Summers and Chases
and Stewards organizing their forces upon issue
Looking upon the Tribune the recognised moutbpece
this dangerous band Of conspators against the peace
and quiet Of the country have sought to keep read
advised Of its ,rea enable ayowals and schemes We
have deemed IL useful by way Of warning, to hold
up to view its infamous sentiments, upon the same
principle, and for the object that tho patriot
recurs to the execrabe treason Of an Arnold II will
be recollecied that u in this Journal that series
Of elaborate editorial articles lately appeared in which
spirit Of disunon ooolly and earnestly invoked
upon considerations purely local and sectional We
denounced these reasonable appeals a, the time not be-
they deserving Of notice the individual
men Of Horace Greeley but because IL the articles were
actually written by Of The more respectable
lcsdcrs, they believed TO speak their views II was
this Journal in which the horrible suggestion APP
pearcd as to setting fire to the Capitol and defeating the
passage Of the Nebraska bin by buryng the friends Of the
measure beneath it, crumbng ruins
Let II be borne in mind that upon the passage Of
the Kansas and Nebraska bin the Tribune took the lead

a. sF. or GLOON WITHOUT 4 STAR

A few weeks ago we almost compelled TO apply
this beautiful line to the universal midnight OF hostility TO
constitutional principles which seemed to have settled
down upon the whig party of the North but gradually
the aspect bghtens II cannot be that the wings OF the
North are united in solid body with few inhdei
preachers and crazy ncendare and that they have lost
all practical sound in seeondng the violent yagare
Of OF erack-braned fanatics One thing alone should
arouse the national wings of the North from their supor
and that they be cut off entirely from their for
friends in the South if they do not soon cut themselves
loose from the leaders Of the sectional party Of the ffee
States Imagine, for a moment what state of things
that would be- when the friends of Webster and Clay in
the free States yielded 10 the mandates and Vaccinations
of the unorgiyng foes Of those great statesmen Besides
too be forgotten that the abolition leaders
not the who viii abate any of their doctrines
please nybody else and if the wings of the North go in
ALL they accept the most ultra doctrines OF these
agitators without comment objection Gradually this
fact ia doing its work and cannot and do not doubt
that in short time there viii be quite many northern
wings opposed the designs of Greeley, Garrison and
Phillips as there were in 1850 when the compromise
measures became laws OF the land.

.sTHEIR DISCIPLINE is PERFECT"

Such is the phrase applied to the democratic party in
Congress by the wing correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American When reflect that the wing papers
have for months teemed with declarations that the dem
ocraic party denoralized and destroyed the
better appreciate the change which has the spirit
their dreams indicated by the confession of the North
Americans correspondent Why is it that the democratic
party only year ago beset by private anmosites grow
ing Of personal disappontments has fully and so
mposingy recovered its position the controlling politi-
cal power of the country Why is it that in exact pro-
portion the democratic party has been improved and
strengthened the wing party has degenerated The
swer easy 1t is because the democratic party has been
true principles it is because in the face Of disaster and
defeat in the face of caluny and lsehood in the face OF
the deserton of timd friends and the peryerng spirit OF
faction the democracy has stood firm from the first to the
last never for moment hestating about its course, but
always ready "take the responsibility" It is under
such circumstances that we feel how true that the
discipline of the democratic party is perfect.

THE ADMINISTRATION.

Nothing but simple justice is done TO the administration
in the following passage in letter of the Washington
respondent of the New York Journal OF Commerce:
1T understood that the duties of all the departments
have been for time past excessively aborious The
Secretary State especially has been taxed with
intellectual labor that ordinary powers of endurance
could possibly surmount There have been the fishery and
reciprocity, the neutral rights the Central American the
Peruvian the Cuban, and other negotiations all involving
questions great moment be discussed with asute dpo
mats various languages and in of them has Mr. Mar
cy failed justify his great reputation for acumen agacit,
and frmness.
..The violent abuse which President Pierce, in
with all his predecessors has received from portion of the
press has been matter of surprise to foreigners
quanted with the INSCRIPTIONS character of partisan
but the truth is that he and his household unver-
sally popular amongst the residents of the metropolis and all
who within the circle of the White House bear
kindly rcmembrances Of its occupants"
