rHE MADNESS or PARTY.


lent assault Of the Richmond Wing upon the Democratic
National Committee for having addressed circular in
qury to the posmasers in regard the citizens of for
egn birth within the vicinity Of their respective offices
Such circulars are neither unusual nor improper They
constitute apart Of the active agency every party But
in this they are especially necessary The foreign
born population has been approached in the most unwa
rantable manner by the black republicans. They have
been urged to vote for Fremont as the friend of the
immigrant and the enemy Of slavery. They have been
told that the whole West would be given to them and
their descendants not for the invasion of slavery
and they urged TO abandon the democratic party,
with which they have generally acted and enrol them
selves In the abolition ranks We have fear that
the of justice which actuates the reflective
members of foreign-born fellow-citzens will per-
nit them to harken to such insidous appeals but it
the less the duty of the democratic committee to
counteract the documents which the black republicans
throwing amongst them. 1t is upon this principle that
both the whig and democratic parties have always
acted They have fortified their friends with argument
and fact and armed them with the to repe the
aggressions Of their enemies Thus the Democratic Ma
onal Committee has had the best arguments in Its pos
session translated into foreign languages and circulated
extensively, a antdote to the malignant ISLANDERS
against the South and the conservative interests of the
Union.
The democratic party sustans the burden Of those pn
cpes which deemed indispensable the rights of the
South. If the foreignborn voters should abandon that
party which has done much for them and cast their
for the abolition candidate il might endanger the
rights of the South and the permanency of the govern
ment
off he mnnd
the democratic party and expresses unnatural delight
at the idea that the foregn-born voters may be seduced
to support the enemies of Virginia and the SOUTH
If the Wing considers the rights of the South at all in
voved-f it still believes that "hs Kansas act must
should il rejoice much the prospect of
abolition SUGGEST Why should it trumphanty proclaim
that Buchanan is nowhere at the North" If Mr.. Bu
chanan is nowhere, where is Mr. Fillmore? Has he
any party in Ohio, in Illinois, Indiana? Can he be
expected carry Pennsylvania The party which he rep
has been gnomniousy beaten in all these States
and almost the only districts carried by any candidates of
his party in close alliance with the black republicans
and pledged the support of Fremont If Mr. Buchanan
is nowhere" and Mr. Fillmore nobody in the northern
race the triumph of the aboonsts certain and it is
at this result that the Wing reoces Hear the pleasure
with which it herads the hopedfor defeat Of the democra
cy by the imaginary detection of the foreign vote:
"The black republicans making formidable demon
against these buwaks of the democracy and from
present Indications likely to bear them of in triumph
The New York Tribune unfold the programme of the black
republican campaign and does not disguise the inducements
which will be offered for the million of foreign voters in the
Union The French, Dutch, (Hollanders,) Norwegians,
Swedes and RsH told, in many words that theirs
shall be the magnificent regions of the West If they will
give jealous support to the black republicans they
reminded that they here for liberty that they deest
slavery and only accomplish the great object of their
emigration by nterdctng slavery every foot of Ameri
territory"
"Ths only tends to strengthen the conviction have
already expressed that Buchanan is nowhere in the
the North The foreign vote has heretofore constituted the
main element strength in the hreng States
Withdraw that and the party forthwith falls into hopeless
minority. The Dutch have already signifed their prefer
for Fremont and every mail brings fresh intelligence
of accessons of that enlightened and patriotic class
(he Dutch) the blackrepublcan standard. Even in
Pennsylvania they going in body against the democ
racy."
Enough said. The enlightened, and patriotic, and dis
interested and noble Irish will go in body with their
equally enlightened and magnanimous fellow citizens the
Germans or Dutch or Hoanders As to the Welsh, the
Swedes Norwegans the French &C., for whom Charles
James manifess much socitude they comparatively
few and, whether he books them not cannot have
rous bearing upon the issue. The universal German and
Irish nations will very efeotusly settle the democratic
hash !"
We shudder at the vipdctve spirit which inspires such
language The rights and property of the South at
stake The democratic party stands in the breach to de-
fend them 1t is assaed by the enemies of the South and
of the Union detection Of those who have heretofore
been its allies is encouraged 1t is repealed by the de-
mocracy All this time paper printed in southern city
sustained by southern patronage aud protesting great
devotion to southern interests stands by in perfect
traty phlosophizing upon the probable good to result
from the success Of the abolionss II strives peu
dice the country against the efforts Of the democratic party
to counteract the nearious designs Of common enemy
IL that enemy shall succeed 1t has schooed itself to ook
upon this dispensaton judgment from high; and
realization, for a thousand other ills of fortune" ave
never doubted in consequence Of the amount Of immga
ton and its character and the efforts Of the democracy to
use It In elections but that this state Of things would arise
at no distant day 1t than expected
and II may be in the providence of God that it for
good"
so the Wing concludes that the defeat of the democracy
and the conversion Of the foregnborn voters to abolition
would be for the good Of the country
1t is perhaps unreasonable to expect Journal which
svows such vindcve hatred that portion of its fellow
citizens who bear different political designation from IL
SELF to reason. But the impartial public will
slider the dangerous acy which II is duty TO combat
The Wing trumphanty says 1.-THE universal German and
Irish natious will eectually settle the democratic hash ~
