Es"The political campaign upon which
we are about to enter, is one of the
greatest magnitude, and its prosecution
demands the efforts and devoted exer-
tons of all good citizens; the welfare
and happiness Of living millions are in
volved in its results, and it's consequences
will descend upon generations yet unborn.
In warfare so momentous, no neutrals
can be recognized or tolerated for, as
the interests of all are involved in the
struggle, it becomes the duty of every
Democrat and National Wing to grid on
his armor, and to perform faithfully the
part assigned him in the conflict; there
fore, we appeal to our brethren through
out the land to take their appropriate
stations, with determination never to
grow weary in the GOOD cause until it is
conducted to glorious victory next No
vembcr, and we hereby pledge ourselves
to them that we will spare no exertion,
nor leave untried any fair and honorable
means in our power to contribute our
share to that great and glorious result

THE sWAsHISGToN SPECTATOR. The
editor of this interesting hebdomedal,
which we have taken occasion to notice
before, in his last number makes the fol-
lowing announcement
"a New FEATURE have the
pleasure of announcing that we shall
commence, about the first of May, the
publication of an original novelette,, en-
titled GEORGE MoSTAGU; Or, jSundry
passages Of an W-regutoted life j.. An Au-
photographic This tale has been pre-
pared expressly for the columns Of the
Spectator. We can assure our readers
that, from our knowledge Of the ability
of the author, they will nat be disap-
pointed if they look for work of supe-
rior merit"
The Spectator is among the most val
liable of the family papers that come to
our table--Dot merely for its literary and
domestic articles, but those Of practical
utility to the farmer, the mechanic and
the business man
We cannot doubt that the tale which
is announced above, will add materially
to the interest Of the paper while it is
being published.

THE POLITICAL PRESS.

One of the cardinal objects of the po-
litical press is the preservation, unim-
paired, of all the great politicalrights of
the people. In this light, it is one of
the most invaluable organs society can
possess. As to difference of opinion,
this is the effect of discussion, and must
always exist wherever truth is not self
evident, but dependent on demonstrative
argument. We will always find antag-
onistic parties in our country, each strug-
Cling for supremacy. Yet, in the midst
of all these opposing themes and opin-
ions, the object of the press remains the
same. Its duty is, by fair deduction, to
investigate these principles and to pro-
claim the truth.
In this light VIC look upon the station
we occupy in society, as one involving
great and serious responsibilities, The
position of an editor can be no less than
that of monitor, an adviser with the
people 1t is an Office the incumbent of
which should regard his exertions as
destined for the amelioration and eleva-
ton of his species; it is then alone that
his means will be adequate to the end.
Floating through our land are thou
sand various sheets of one political tenet
and another, which have lost all influence
over the people, because they do not
truly represent their feelings. They
have become disguised with the reck-
lessness of many of the partizan sheets,
casting, as they do, odium upon the
whole political press of the country
What do the people want with paper
filled with TRADES against personal char
acter, distorting the acts and motives CT
men to the basest purposes, invading
the sanctity of the domestic Preside, and
dragging before the public eye, private
affairs throwing aside all discussion of
principle, all integrity and fairness, and
prosecuting with an unsparing hand, all
those who may wish to enjoy an honest
difference Of opinion? No sooner is a
man solicitor for public favsr, however
elevated his patriotism, or spotless his
private character before, than he becomes
the object of the vilest detraction.-
Falsehood, with her exhaustless inven-
ton; envy, with her eternal vigilance /;
persecution, with her relentless pursuit;
calumny, with her envcnomed shafts,
soon paint him in glaring colors as black
as the abodes of Pluto's regions de-
-mon so hideous in mind and morals, as
to be unfit for liberation in civilized
society.
1t is the great, the solemn duty of all
lovers of order, decorum, consistency,
justice, and truth, to aid, by every means
within their power, in sustaining the
dignity of the political press, and to
guard its purity, as they would their own
honor, with sleepless vigilance. The
cffectual corrective is alone in the hands
of the moral and virtuous portion of the
people.

Ra- The shirt of Nossus stuck !

E1- The shirt of Nessus stuck not
more closely to its owner, than does the
moral disease called hypocrisy, to the
Know-nothing party. SO much afraid
are they for their principles to appear be-
fore the public in their naked deformity,
they are compelled to present them in a
false dress. And shall any Democrat,
nay, any honest Wing, who loves his
country and wishes the perpetuity of the
glorious inheritance, purchased by the
blood of our fathers, suffer himself to be
entrapped by such devices? We hope
not. We hope that the days of delusion
have passed away-that hypocritical pre-
fences will no longer usurp the empire
We cannot believe that any Democrat
will suffer himself to be seduced from
his adherence to that party, and the sup
port of those principles that have ever
been dear to him, by hypocritical pro-
testations, or that he will be frightened
from his post by the bold assumptions
and laundering denunciations of party,
upon the sincerity of which experience
has shown no reliance can be placed.
We speak thus of the Know-nothings as
party. We know there are many hon
orable individual exceptions to the charge
which we make upon the party. Such,
we hope, will listen to the monitions of
reason and truth, and as patriots fly to
the preservation of their country from
the grasp of the spoilers.
To our brethren, Wing and Democratic,
we would say that, in our opinion, this
is portentous period in our national cx-
istence. A set of measures is con tenn
plated by party prolifc-in expcdients
and schemes to ensure their success, that,
if fastened upon this country, must de-
troy the proportions and mar the beauty,
if not ovcrturn the glorious temple Of
American liberty. Let us then meet
them with our undivided strength. Let
every one of us act until the Prcsiden-
tial election as though he was conscious
that the favored destiny of a mighty peo-
pie depended upon his individual effort.
Victory will crown the labor and all will
be well.

The hneal descendants of the elder Ap-
ANS, they are resolved to complete their
claims to unadulterated federalism, by
tracing back their political origin othose
enactmepts which produced division in
the political church--which hurled AD-
ANS from power, and placed the great
apostle of Democracyin the Presidential
chair. JEFFERSON has ever been the
polar star of the conquering Democracy,
and they will still be guided in their
political pathway by its cheering light.
They will accept the issue made by the
opposition, taking the ground that our
government is large enough for the vir-
tuous and down-trodden of every cline
and that liberty, like religion, is the
common property of all mankind who
are worthy of its enjoyment.

Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN. The career
of this distinguished statesman furnishes
one Of the brightest evidences of the
pure Democracy that exists in our gov
eminent. Without the advantages of
great family influence, aided only by bis
individual excrtions, he has elevated
himself to a position of which he may
well feel proud. He commenced his
career in profession calculated to lead,
in government like ours, the individu-
al Who embarks in it to high and honor
able calling, provided he has talent, hon
esty, and moral integrity. By gradual
lions he passed from one honor conferred
upon by the people to another, until at
last he finds himself very prominently
before the public for the next Presidency
of the United States.
Had Mr.. BUCHANAN pursued any other
than straight forward, honest, and high
minded course, he never could have risen
to what he has. Had he not, with I'M
wavering determination chung to the
cause of the people, they would have de-
serted him, as they have every other who,
forgetful of his duty, endeavored to pro-
mote his private ends in opposition to
that of the public veal; sure that his
course was right, he has pushed forward
with spirit of Spartan determination,
unmindful of the SCOTS and jeers of the
enemies of Democracy. From his ear
liest struggles he has been attacked with
Federal slang and abuse, as we'll as Fed
eral talent of the highest order. Every
effort has been made by them, in every
step he advanced, to stop his onward ca
reer; but like the good Pilgrim" he
has gone on unmindful of the taunts of
the wicked, the SCOTS of the foolish, or
the sophistry of the deceitful. The whole
artllleryof the Federal camp has been
aimed at him, but the people threw over
him their broad egis and protected him.
Though his native State was short
time since in danger of being misguided
by the wicked and designing, she has
redeemed herself, and as sure as the
needle turns to the North when agitated,
so sure will the people in the great State
of Pennsylvania, come forth boldly and
manfully to his support, and sustain the
pure Democratic doctrines which he
cherishes, and which alone can check the
spirit of antagonism to the pure princi-
pies upon which this government is
founded.

ES- Judging by the past, we conclude
that the Know-nothings of Maryland
will meet the Democracy in the approach
ing Presidential struggle with the insane
cry, that American liberty is unsafe, as
long as the naturalizcd citizen is per-
mitted to take part in the management
of the government. This principle has
been exhumcd from the most detestable
administration of the Federal Govern
ment-one which, chiefly from this doc
trine and it's bard exactioDs, went down
in darkness and disgrace, and made way
for the immortal JEFFERSON. The
" Alien La,cs," which shook our gov
eminent from centre to circumference,
and almost defined the value of the Union
itkslf, makes one Of the foundation stones
upon which tee american party is built.

WILLARD FILLMoRE.-The ridiculous
system of electioneering adopted by the
Know-nothing party to bolster up the
claims of this man to the Presidency, is
as diversified in its operations as the
principles they wish to sustain. He is
made to be all things to all parties, and
again, everything for principle and moth
ing for men. He is supported by thou
sands of misguided and fanatical zealots
who, to secure the abolition of slavery,
would sacrifice our republican institu-
tons. And yet, an attempt is made to
enlist in his cause the patriotic Wings
of the South, whose every earthly pos
session and comfort Abolitionism seeks
to destroy. 1t is impossible to describe
all the bewildered freaks and the Quix-
otto tits of the gum-elastic gentry whose
motto is, "the end justifes the means. +"
One thing is certain, more desperate
cause was never attempted to be built up
by more desperate means.
The people cannot be deceived-they
will not succumb to the artful designs of
these " dodgers"--these human chame-
Icons, with as,many colors as principles.
The star of Democracy is still in the
ascendant-just principles still maintain
their elevated position--the film and
mist of Know-nothing strategy are fast
disappearing before the resistless march
of truth and justice--the syren song,
tuned at the panic strings, has lost its
dulcet sound and is tasteless-artiicc
must reluctantly yield her prowess to the
omnipotence of right and honesty. Tie
corrupt factions that are now contending
for power can never obtain the reins Of
government or WELD the destinies of this
great and mighty republic. Thus may
it ever be until the last spark is extin-
guished in the expiring embcrs of fa-
naticism.
