The New York Herala on the 6. Campaign ~,

The Pioneer sayswe are fond of quoting
from the New York Herald" to prove that
the Pioneers friends-the slave-driving de-
mocracyAare in bad odor with the people
of the Northern States. 1t is but a few days
since the Pioneer chuckled wonderfully over
q little scrap of consolation it found in the
columns of the Herald, going to show that
unless theopponents of negro Slave Labor, as
placed by the Cincinnati Platform in opposi-
tion to Free White Labor, united upon one
man for the Presidency, the white men
would be very apt to be defeated by the ne
gro forces, now marshalled under that noted
old Fogy Federalist, James Buchanan.
We have before us the Herald of the 3Oth
ult., from which it appears the editor has
come to the conclusion that the bone and
sinew of the opposition to the spread of
niggerdom will be united. We make few
extracts from the leading editorial, for the
especial benefit of the Pioneer. The article
is headed The Campaign-Symptoms of a
Great Popular Revolution" 1t starts off
thus:
The trials and tribulations of the old
party hacks all over the country-the family
jars among the wrangling democracy-the
last feeble kicks of Know~Nothingism-
ridiculous pretensions of would-be Presi-
dents and party leaders and the tremendous
popular furo7e with which the name of FIRE.
mont is everywhere received, are acts among
the "signs of the times" foretelling an i'm
pending revolution in our political affairs, ra-
dical, overwhelming and complete.
Here in New York the old feud between
the Hards and Softs, which it was supposed
had been patched up at Cincinnati strong
enough to hold like an old pair of brecches
until after the election, has been ripped open
again at Albany. The Hards wish to be
masters, and the Softs stick to their
divine right to rule. Meantime, disgusted
with the Cincinnati "ipecac platform" :"
many of the old jackson Van Buren, Rour-
bons have not only thrown it up, but have
gone over with all their worldly goods and
hopes Of salvation to Fremont. Others will
Observation-Disclosures RACES in the Soft di-
vision Of the democratic camp, and all the
efforts in this metropolis of Fernando Wood,
of the Hards, and John Cochranc, of the
Softs, to restore the two factions to their
ancient condition of brotherly love, at the
Pewter Mug" will probably be loves
labor lost" It is already high time to call
out Captain Rynders, with his harmonizing
slx-pounder, for the purpose of firing signal
guns of distress, until Governor Wise, of
Virginia, shall come up to the rescue. If
any man can reconcile the Van Buren, fac
tion to full surrender to the implacable
Dickinson faction, it is Mr.. Wise. The cx-
President at Undertook, for certain Con-
gressional services heretofore rendered by
Mr.. Wise. is under everlasting obligation to
him, and can deny him nothing. The case
is now urgent, and Mr.. Wise should be sent
for without further loss of time. Perhaps
his estimates of the astounding rise in the
price of niggers with the election of Mr..
buchanan may exert Wholesome influence
among our rebellious Soft Shells, who are
still ready, however, for any speculation
whereby to turn an honest penny. Some
thing must be done for the New York de-
moc9acy or their case will be past praying
for before the expiration of the dog-days.
The editor then reviews the whole field of
Presidential conflict, and concludes as fol-
lows: We cali tie Pioneers particular at
tention to the Herald's "suming up:"
But there are other causes than slavery,
and other sentiments, broader and deeper
than the Kansas question, now at work
among the Northern masses, as they would
be among the Southern masses, in behalf of
Fremont, were this war of determination be-
tween the abolition squatters and the Kan
sas border ruffians out of the way. Our old
fogy politicians are behind the movements,
exigencies and impulses Of the age. New
men, new measures new reforms and rev
Fetrenchmsnts-in word, a new and sweep
ing reformation of all the existing party
abuses of the day-are demanded, and the
people are in motion to effect it. Mr.. Fill
more, just returned from the echoes of the
"MiSerere in the church of St. Peter at
Rome, and from the smoke of Mount We
suvius, is not expected as yet to see through
this thing. But he is already getting a.
glimpse of his situation, and will compre-
hend it pretty thoroughly after a weeks rest
and study ofthe newspapers at Buffalo.
The new man, however, for the crisis, ap-
pears to have been hit upon by sort of
popular spontaneous combustion with the
nomination of Fremont. AS John Van Buren
would say, in his graphic style of delivery,
she runs like the cholera" 10 the old
stagers this is a mystery. They cannot COM
prehend it. The old Martinets of Europe
would have it that the "Iittle Corporal -
was poor Captain, because his system of
fighting was in violation of all the rules of
war. Yet he codtinued to beat them as they
were never beat before. So with Fremont.
He is as much an enigma to all our party
Martinets and backroom committees. Fill
more is ncredulous-Stockton is disgusted
and the "old liners" among the democracy
leXccpting, perhaps, cold Buck,'' quietly
smoking his segar at Wheatland,j look upon
this young colt from the Rocky Mountains
with murderous suspicion. They are said
to be concocting lot of affidavits at Wash
ington, which will crush him as effectually
as "the Coffin Handbills" settled the busi-
ness for General jackson.
Considering all these things, and the pop
ular revolutionary movements of tie last
three years, which exhibit the democratic
party in the startling minority of nearly.half
a million votes, we cannot shut our eyes to
the fact that comprehensive revolution
has been, continues, and will continue at
work, until its work is completed. We
want this revolution /; we must have this re-
volution we shall have this revolution car
ried out-not only to the establishment of a
new set of men in power at Washington, but
extended to the reformation of all those vii
lanous party corruptions- stealings, thimbleI
