Al time when the administration should have

raj and material force At its command it has struck
him down. The blow, so far as it affects an indivi

The effect Of this transaction ON the coming cleo

the democracy, and II we are borne down by the
combined strength Of the wings and abolitionists

We hope the democracy OF New York will not be
lruynlned like bees By the in pan clamor OF State
finances, into the hive which has been placed for
them by clique of federal dependents who natur-
ally desire nothing so much now as silence upon
federal questions.
While aspirants for the succession are Matching
their Presidential eggs in southern sands it may be
very convenient to have the attention Of the north
ernpeople diverted to some other object. but that
trick is worn out 1t has succeeded twice. it will not
succeed again. There can be but one leading issue
in the next election in this State, and that will be
the approval Or disapprova Of the course Of the adj
minis tration in Kansas. All other questions must be
only Incidental Bnd subordinate. Silence upon that
subject approval, and approval will be destruction.

We should like to fight one more battle for the

There are many acts in the administration OF Cen.
Pierce that admire, and there are others which
we caLnot ana do not approve, and prominent among
these is his course in unfolding and sustaining the
Nebrnska-Kansas swindle from beginning to end
from the endorsement of the repeal of the Missouri
compromise TO the removal OF Gov. Reeder. We can
but think that If tho counses Of his Secretary OF
State had been listened to- instead OF those Of jeF
Davis, different state Of things would have pre-
vailed. and all agitation Of the 'veXed question
relative to the peculiar institution would have
ceased
The Secretary OF State was absent when this last
act Of madness on the part Of Gen. Pierce was per-
petratcd, ana have no donbt his presence az his
post would have shown different result. As it IS,
the President either does not desire party in the
Stale OF New Yoik or PeBEaylvania or else draws
very largely upon their crenlity, to gulp down his
apparent endorsement Of the mobocracy Of the Mis-.
sour bandits who have overrun the Territory OF
