THE DEMOCRACY OF THE SOUTH AND THE |,
COMING ADMINISTRATIONS.


THE DEMOCRACY OF THE SOUTH AND THE IN
COMING ADMINISTRATIONS.
From this day to the Inauguration of the President elect
the New York Herald will illustrate its enterprise in the
invention and propagation of absurd stories respecting the
policy of the administration and the disposition of the de
mocracy And yet all its exravagaut specuations will be
conceived in spirit OF vndctve hostility to Mr. Buchanan
and will be directed to the end Of discredtng his admin
istration in advance of its organization.
For the present the Herald is indusriousy engaged In
attempt dssenson between the democracy of the
North and the democracy Of the South, and TO excite
among the Saterighs portion of the party some
suspicion Of Mr. Buehanans fidelity 10 the pledges Of
his nomination The Herald is already committed to Ere
mont for the canvass of 1860 and it is essential above all
things to the success of the enterprise that the incoming
administration should be rejected by the people But the
probability is that unless embarrassed by extraordinary
combination Of adverse circumstances Mr. Buchanan will
conduct the government with so much Of wisdom and
ability to command the confidence and applause Of the
country Hence the first thing to be done in the
OF the backepublican party is to deny him the opporu
nifty Of fair experiment and, IL possible to overwhem
him at the threshold Of his administration In this spirit
the Herald and its accompces in the conspiracy de-
voting their energies to the object Of destroying the organ
zaon of the party which Mr. Buchanan must rely
support and Of alternating from him the confidence and
sympathy of the southern democracy.
With this exposition OF the policy Of the Herald the

following communication

Startling NeiOs from Richmond Vrgnia-a aso Disunion
Movement Of the Southern Nuiiifrs.
RIomosD, Va, November a. 1856.
The late dsunion manifesto of r. Barnwell Rhett has
much more In it than what appears upon its face II
the precursor Of series Of dsunion experiments which
will now he rapidly unolded here and other points
The plot thckens The latest experiment deberaed upon
is coup d6g for the control of Mr.. Buchanans admins
ratou or the defeat of his election and If jefferson
Davis s not the master-pr of this notable scheme be
may be expected TO profit by 1t to the full extent of his
powers
On the first Wednesday in December the presidential
electors elected are to meet In the various States
their votes for President and Vice President In the inter
val II s proposed TO bring Mr. Buchanan by letter up
the mark of the southern nul6ers to compass his de-
feat by giving sufficient number Of the democratic cleo
tora votes OF the South 10 other candidates throw
election into the House The nu6ers have their fears Of
the northern democrats elected the next Congress in
bali OF Kansas as free State and from recent disclosures
from ancsste they also have their fears Of Mr. Buchanan
himself Hence this desperate plan of bringing Mr.
ohanan to the mark Of defeating his election The con-
spirators do not expect any satisfactory answer from Mr.
Buchanan they do not desire IT, Their objects are dis
union and the spells Of a southern conederacy. They
know that in the betrayal Of the peope thronp
election into the House they may create an excitement
which will result In the abrupt dissolution OF Congress the
suspension OF the government the secession of the southern
states IN body, and that bloody southern conederacy
which IS to be the millennium of their homes The late
hdental meeting OF Henry A. Wse and his associate dis
union southern governors at Raleigh you will find byand-
by involved something than treason and revolution
in the event Of Fremonts election
Perhaps we may not be able to indicate the very ind
vdua who communicated this extraordinary despatch to
the Herald but we cannot possibly be mistaken In attrbu
