Ntggsrsm, North and South, has demnra.
lisee OF existing political parties to mere
tracing oreasSy .tions ON sectional prejudices, !
igrorance, fanaticism, densgoguism, and !
upon the N.tred and the enmitiss which niger !
agitaiic, has eDgendered between the people !
of the two great divisions Of the Union.
All questions of progressive and expansive
Domestic leeislation; all suggestions OF lofty
dignifed and positive foreign policy; all those
practical tissues naturally resulting from
plain and honest ful6lmsnt of the spirit and
intent Of the federal constitution, have al
been swallowed up ia tits political niggerism-
Cuffee is the evil shsdos that follows as W
day, and Cuases is the incubus that shakes us
in our nightly drea1e There is but one living
political qaestion in the land-it 10 Cv.ffee;
but one living political hope for us--it is
Cufee; and but one great political danger to
every living eSai of us-it is CaGee. Cufee,
in iact, il psrarount--"the higher law"
North and South, overriding in importance
even the constitution and the Union. North
or South, we must bow down to Cufse, or be
driven without the pale Of any healthy politf
cal erganizatien.n
Whore is the once great Jacksonian demo-
cratic party, dcyoted in its glorious day to the
| crushing OF oaak monsters, to the prostration
| of governmental exec sses in internal improve
ments; to the important existence OF wise
and benefcens disposition of the public lands;
to the promotion Of the great doctrine of free
| trade the underworld over, and of the power
and influence of our republican system among
the other nations and peoples of the earth; to
the saving domestic duties Of order, system, re-
trenchment and reform? Where, We repeat, is
| this great party at this crisis? Gone, used up,
| deteriorated into an organization of one-idea-
| niggerism 1t is entirely under the influence of
Cverexcited slave owners and political niger
drivers, ire.eating aemsgogues, whose stock
in trade is the steel Of the secessionist and the
fin. of ab0litionism With these Instruments
they keep up the fire in the finder box, fright
ening thousands OF poor souls into the belief
that it is the constitution and the rights Of the
States that are IN process OF combustion, and
that it is to these smouldering materials of an
impending explosion that we must attribute
| this all-pervadiDg smell of burning rage and
| birthstone.
| The socallsd republican party, under the
management Of our Northern nigger-wor-
shippers, Is also exclusively devosed TO mig
gsrism. 1t is the most hypocritical, the most
disgusting, and yet the most mis:hievous Of
! any political organization that has yet crys-
! tslized from the pernicious aud revolu-
! tioDary floating elements Of the North. Be-
| tween these two parties there is third which,
setting out upon the sublime IDEAS Of the o.
tracism OF al born aliens aud the exoatriation
Of all Roman Catholics, has been substantially
pulverised, as between the upper and the
neither milestone of nigge,ism The democratic
Diggerdrivers' party and the black 'ouDlt-
can nigger-worshippers party are preo. nai-
Dant. Between these violent extremes tn
only result of . conflict among the people lie
TO the alienation Of the two sections of the
coDfederacy from each other, secession, dis.
union, the horrid scenes OF st, Domingo reign
Of terror, . succession Of military despots.
and the ciashing among our hostile States OF
the ferocious mrsket aud bayouet republican
ism of the popular" governments Of Mexico
Central and South America.
Presidential aggregate Of about four mil
loDs CT electors is divided, organized, COG
trolled and oamaocz!ed by less, perhaps, than
two hunored Thousand trading and pipe-laying
POLITICIANS on either tide, as between the two
principal parties in the feld-politicians
whose business Is politics, and whose profits are
he public pluader-g.ngs Of reckless, sshen-
ing politicians, made Up of briefless lawyers,
nrokeD Merchants, bankrupt stock joooers
gamblers, blsckle e, and seedy adventures Of
every description. There are still, however,
remaining some three millions eight hundred
Thousand voters, ell honest, industrious men,
possessed Of honest and visible means of sup
port, and wholly independent cfpluDder-divid-
ing ard treasury, despoling party caususes,
conventions, organs, pipe-lsyers and kitchen
cabinets This vast body Of the honest Aue-
rican masses is perfectly Irresistible if it can
only be aroused into sense Of duty, and to the
common purpose Of saving the country.
TIE question, however, here recurs, how Is
this popular concert Of action to be comprised?
Easily enough. Let the necessity for new
independent peoples party be adopted by the
independent masses as . conviction. Acting
upon this necessity, let free people proceed
TO organize The new party, free from the mana
gers of the Niger driving modern democracy;
free from the destructive principles OF the
Seward niger worshippers, aud free of the
contracted snti-American tomfooleries Of
Know Nothingism-free Of all those
Darrow, nischievous and demoralizing
elements, but standing forward in
favor OF ell the material and intellectual
