"nLAcx RupuB1IcANrsrr."

The Boston Times winds up power
full article upon "Black Republican
ism," with the following statement
that nobody can gainsay: Or successful
ly controvert. We call to it the par
ticular attention Of our readers, and
all such as may be hesitating about
supporting Mr.. Fillmore: a a.
a"Rcpublicanism goes in for Dcrnoc-
racy, and is and will be it's best ally.
1t prefers Mr.. Pierce or Mr.. Buclan-
an to Mr.. Fillmore, just as it did Mr..
Polk to Mr.. Clay 1t is true that it
keeps up u great blaze of warfare a.
galnst the Democratic party, but that
is all sham. 1t is done to build itself
up and get possession of local spoils.
1t pretends to have great regard for
Kansas and freedom; but it takes very
precious care that Kansas shall remain
where it Is, as professional beggars
take care that their children shall re-
main ragged, and sore, and distressed,
as their capital in trade, to make sym
patty. Take the sore and sickiy in
FAINT that is beaten daily till it blccds,
from the arms Of the mendicant mother
and restore it to health and cloanli-
ness, and you will take away the whole
stock in trade of the begging vaga-
bonds. So take away Kansas from
Rcpublicanism and make it free, and
its vocation will be gone. No, no;
that would never do. When Whitfield,
Border Ruffian,' and Rccdcr, Gree
State, came up before the House of
Representatives, the principle was sur
rendered at once, by allowing the Dor
der Ruflian' to take his scat without

BEAR IN MIND.

While Willard Fillmore occupied the
Presidential chair, (says the Columbus
Enquirer) not a disorganizer, North or
South, received an appointment to e
post of honor or profit. The consc-
qucncc was, fanaticism and disancction
were almost starved out when he left
tho Office. His successor came in and
laviShcd the patronage Of the govern
mcnt upon fbolitionists, Secessionists,
and Frcesoilers, and the Union is on
the brink Of dissolution.
Is8" That's the difference between
wise and patriotic and a foolish and
pandering administration of the gov
crnmcnt. The effect upon the pros
pcrity of the country is as great as the
contrast between tho giant and the
pig'ny is striking, -

a VERY UNPOPULAR AD-
IMTTJISTN.A pI0nS.

. The present Pierce administration
IS one of the most unpopular, if not in
deed the most unpopular, of any that
has "reignod, or rose, or .feU," in this
great country of ours. The expert
ment of the Solf-styled Democracy to
make Presidents out of unknown and
scarcely ordinary men, has been most
signal failure, and has brought down
upon the head Of his accidency, the
present incumbent, the strongly express
sed disapprobation of the people. 1t
Is true that the anti-Amorican presses,
beginning with the Washington Union,
are dealing out, wholesale and retail,
the most extravagant laudations of the
"model President" but it is equally
true that these presses are paid for
their pufery by the Administration,
and that while they arc praising the
President, they are up to their arm-pits
in the treasury. But idle putting will
not sustain Mr.. Pierce; the fiat Of the
people is the political thermometer
that must indicate the heat and cold
which blows about the capitol, and the
breath of an army Of hungry and de-
pendent ollicc-seekers may not turn a.
side the tornado of popular disapproba-
ton which is certain to overtake the
Pierce dynasty.
But the unpopularity of the ruling
Administration may be demonstrated
by figures, and we shall employ figures
as conclusive in this case. Hon. An
drew Stewart, in late speech over at
Uniontown, Pa, cited the following
comparison of votes given in 1852 and
in the years 1854 and 1855, which
will be exceedingly interesting to tho
Americans; though not so comfortable
to the ants as tho paid puffery of the
Union and its satellites.
