Burer, still in power over Northern division
Of me democratic army following the example
Of Arnold and Hull, suddenly capitulated to the
abolitionists, by whom he was elevated at once
to the command in chief.
This was the second great error Of the old
parties-what may be termed the second ma
tionsl impetus given to the cause of the niger
worthippers, by the mistakes and treason Of
the whig and democratic leaders. The de-
cline Of the whig and democratic parties re-
leased their followers from allegiance to their
tenets--hence it was easy to an, active system
Of recruiting by the old officers, high and low,
to enlist q large portion Of the rank and file
into the legions Of the sectionalists It is well
known that traitors make the most noisy and
vindictive enemies. The democracy has lent
the cause of the abolitionists, Van Buren,,
Chase, Hale and King, and there are hundreds
Of others that only require release from the
onerous service Of the government, imposed by
that imperishable mustang statesman Pierce, to
swell the throng Of deserters and elicit renewed
paaDs of praise from his Union organ.
The abOlitionists having been thus raised to
the dignity Of party by the blunders and
treachery of the old school politicians, and hav-
ing filed their ranks chiefly from that class who
buy and SELL were peculiarly fortunate in the
election Of General Pierce to the Presidency
Without expecting favors, they have been the
chief recipients of the bounty of the govern
ment. Thatfunctionary, if in nothing else rea-
sonable, has appeared to be so by imposing only
one condition upon his appointees-that they
shall profess on all public occasions that they are
administration men-an easy penance at first,
but now grown into most Notifying service.
No matter, General Pierce, without accomplish
ing any thing else, has consolidated the aboli-
ton party. lie has used the patronage Of the
government to reward its supporters-he has
welded the power and character Of his Office to
strike down its enemies. Justice is defeated
when treason is thus at premium. The cleo
ton Of Mr.. Pierce was the third grand event in
the rise OF the abolitionists What was so well
begun by the wings in their blunder Of 1874, by
the treason Of Van Buren, in 1S4s, has been
more than completed by the imbecility and
treachery Of Pierce in 1862. They have alto
gether conspired against the constitution, to
form the republican party, with VIM. H. Seward
at its head-to insure the destruction Of all the
great interests Of the country, by arraying the
North against the South. The seeds Of discord
have taken deep root: Are there patriots enough
lett Of all parties to remove them?

MURDER OF CAPTA IN FRAZIER, OF THE SHIP SEA
wITCH-ATTRMPTED SUICIDE OF THE MATy, ETC.
RALrIMonH, July q, 1856.
The bark Lapw;Sg arrived here this morning, with
dates from Rio Janeiro 20 June 81.
Captain Kelly reports tbs particulars Of brutal mur
der committed board the ship Sea Witch, Captain
Frazer bound to China from New York. The Sea Witch
arrived at Rio the 10th Of june and being boarded
by the officers Of the customs discovered that the
captain had been murdered The officers inmediately
sent for guard, which took charge Of tho ship. The
American Consul, accompanied BY Captain Rowan, Of
the United States brig Bsinbrdge, repaired board

An examination wss Instituted, and from the evidence

net be HE tools or the toole Of his land compa-
ny, proceeded to show the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts, that it's endeavOrs to use them
would be equally fruitlesa They adopted
rule that every settler arriving in abe Territory
must take IN oath to support and obey the laws
Of The United States and those Of Kansas. At
first is might be c0pjectured that this was in
tended for the benefit Of aliens But it was
otherwise. The men aimed ct in the enact
ment are moi the Iri.h and Germans, who usu.
ally obey all the laws Of this country except
those against lighting and drinking; but the
people OF New England Massachusetts, espe-
cially-who take delight in nullitying the laws.
It was for the benefit Of the fsamers
Of the Personal Liberty bill, and the res
cuers Of the slave Burns, that the sensi-
BILE men Of Kansas provided that all
who CINE to share their home in the
West should swear before Almighty God
that they would not postpone the laws Of the
land and the constitution Of the United States
to their own particular whims and notions of
right and wrong. And we are bound to say
that herein they have furnished further evil
dence Of their excellent good sense. In Kansas
at all events rulIfers must begin by being
perjurerr.
In the meantime their material progress, as
we said, is sufficiently rapid to reward their
labors and their enterprise. Il has already
been decided by many Of the leading settlers to
endeavor to effect 3 purchase from the State Of
Missouri Of Platte county; and from the most
reliable information 1t appears that no difficulty
is likely to- be presented by the latter State.
The possession Of Platte county would give
Kansas both sides Of the river; and the acqui-
sition of Buchanan county, which would be sure
to follow, would give the future State CON-
mand of the whole bend on the Missouri. Let
ters from the new settlements state that all the
timber claims have been taken up and that,
though there yet remains 9 quantity Of fine
prairie land unclaimed near the settlements,
settlers are coming in freely. THIS fall there
will be very little good land left unoccupied in
the vicinity OF the river and the border.
"Ploughs," says one letter, are the chief ar
ticle that is needed ploughs and men"
In moral point Of view, the progress Of the
new Territory is equally gratifying Accord
ing to the free soil prints, it would be correct
to believe that Kansas was peopled by bandits
whose only baggage consists Of revolver and
. bowie knife According TO the facts, no new
Territory ever began life on its OWE account
with so much regard to moral considerations
Laws against drunkenness and laws against
gambling have already been passed; police
regulations have been made; the rights Of
property vigorously asserted brawling sup
pressed and altogether, it is probable that the
much berated people Of Kansas over whose vii
lanies the free sellers 90 into convulsions
periodically, are living under government Of
their own making, better in ali moral respects,
than either our own or thu. CT tns pious ard

Our NATIONAL DEBT-While we are boasting
Of our surplus Of twenty-five millions in the
Treasury, and our small debt Of fifty millions it
is we'll enough to note the fact that the amount
Of claims already prepared for the Court in

elusive of the French Spoliation bill, which

With the decline Of these Communist estab-
lisbmeDts eur Seward philosophers have been
brought to rest al their hopes for the reforma-
tion Of society upon the abolition Of Southern
slavery. They have discovered that The "slave
oHgarchy" OF the South are the great ever
shadowing evil, without which we could soon
all be perfectly happy. Fourierism, Graham
ism, Aesmerism, spiritual manifestations, and
the Maine Liquor law, having all been tried to.
no purpose, every thing !now must give way to,
regular war of determination against this
Southern "oligarchy." When, from the pres
sure Of this grand crusade, the Union is des-
troyed, and law, order and civilized society are
superseded by civil and servils war, anarchy and
the perfect freedom OF barbarism, the field will be
open for more numerous and larger experiments
in social philosophy. Such is the drift of the
new programme Of our Seward philosophers.
Our civil, religious, and political institutions
must be destroyed before they can be re- organ.
