rhs Doom. Of ths.Dsmassssss:

During the fierce competition among
the Democratic chiefs for the Presiden.
cy, prior to the nomination at Cinein-
natl, Buchsaan's claims wsre urged e
the overwhelming consideration shst
he alone could be elected. The Eeszit
of the election demonstrates The sxes
lence of the reason advanced ID fssa%f
Buchanan for It is now manifest shst
if either Pierce or Douglas hsd been
the nominee. Fremont would be the
President elect. Buchanan esean5d tie
guilt Of the destruction of the MISSOURI
Compromise. His absence from tbs

people. His higher availability at the
crisis triumphed over the intrignes Of
Pierce and Douglas, and backed BY Fir-
ginia and Louisiana. his friends were
enabled, on that ground, to battle tbs
slavery propagandists, border rafians
and disunionists. The slavery propas
gandists of Missouri especially, wsIs
bitterly disappointed. They were the
most devoted clansmeii Of the Douglass
next to his Illinois retainers. Even
the Pierce appointee in this State, with
the sudden and shameless treaehezy
which grows rank among their orders
forsook their dying benefsctors and
made court to the apparently rising, or
rather eliminating man. But there is
a difference between the real and appa:

The chief and his standard bearer share
the same ignoble and irrevocablc fate.
They can now take counsel together in
the depth of their debasemeht, as Satan
and Belzebub did when awakening aftsf
their nine days trance on the surface of
the burning lake. Like the superior
