T.e Border Rufauu Ticket.

The b0EdcE EeGA
Great efforts will undoubtedly be made, during
the campaign, by those of our democratic friends
who loathe and abhor the infamous doings of the
present administration, in regard to Kanzas, but
who are irresistably Inclined to "go the regular
nomination" that vote for Buchanan is a very
different thing from an endorsement of the acts
Of Pierce, Douglas, &c. To make this out, they
will harp upon the disconnection of Mr.. Buchan-
an with the late issues which have so distracted
the democratic party, and endeavor to convince
us, in indefinite terms, that he is " good Old
fashioned democrat" uncontaminated with Ne
braskaism, Border Rufianism &C.
The folly of all such efforts is plainly manifest.
To begin with. "Old Buck" has fully endors-
ed the Nebraska swinde, in his letter to Slidell,
of Dec. 2S. and then again, heis put upon plat
form of the most extreme border rutfian charac-
ter, which he will be required to endorse up to
the hub Besides, in order to get the nomina-
tion he was required to give such sureties of SER
witty to the slave power, that Douglas withdrew
his own name in Buchanan's favor, and this Sc
cured the nomination of the latter. To show.
that the Convention was entirely under the man.
agement af the Douglas conspirators, it need on
ly be stated that the Illinois traitor was in con-
slant Geographic communication with that body,
and dictated its proceedings. That he did not
get the nomination himself, was owing merely to
the fact that the delegates feared that with either
Pierce or Douglas for the candidates, the party
would be sunk so low, in defeat, before the peo-
Pile, that ''the hand of resurrection could never
reach it, Therefore a new must be put
upon the track, really to do the same dirty work,
but with whom double game can be played.
Below is verbatim copy of one of the de-
spatches sent by Senator Douglas from Washing
ton to his Convention at Cincinnati;
WASHINGTON, June 3, 8 A. NJ
al have Just read so much OF the platform
relates TO the Nebraska bill and the slavery ques-
ton. The adoption of that NOBLE RESOLUTION,
by the unanimous vote of all the States, accom-
pliSaes all the objects had in Uielo in permitting
my name to be used before the Convention If
agreeable to my friends, would much prefer ex-
erting all my energies to elect tried statesman
on that platform, to being the nominee myself
At all events, do not let my name be used in such
maner as to disturb the harmony OF the party, or
endanger the success of the work nobly begun.
S. A. DOUGLAS"
In his next dispatch, he urged union upon
Mr.. Buchanan, who aad received majority of
the votes, land accordingly, douglas recommen-
dation, Buchanan unanimously nominated
on the 18th ballot. Well may Stephen Arnold
Douglas rejoce-if it is in the power of fends to
rejoice-in the accomplishment of his objects, as
he tells us above, in getting the Convention to
come square up to an endorsement of all his Ne
braska villainy. That is satisfaction enough for
him, without wishing the party, in the coming
contest, to carry the fatal load of his own NOM
nation upon its shoulders.
AT Buchanan ratification meeting, III WASH
ington, on Saturday evening last, Senator Doug
las made flaming Speech eulogising the firm
ness and patriotism of the President" &C.. and
endorsing the doings at Cincinnati, as complete
ly up to his ideal. Mr.. Douglas said he "reioiced
that HIS OWN COURSE on the KanzaS and Ne
broska question had been endorsed by the noble
resolves of the Convention" And he assured his
friends that he should do all in his power to helI
elect the ticket nominated as one representing
his ideas (Nebraskaism and Border Rufianism
exactly. Can the honest democratic masses o
the old Bay State swallow such dose? Never
we trust
