WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April 10, 800.
1t ss plain ss pike-stsf here that there IS to
be Jolly row st the Cincinnati Convention. lne
Northern patriots whe champioued that benehcen'
measure called the Nebrasks bill, and BY IL quoted
% .ienaIly all agitation on the Slavery question:
are all in for the nomination. Neither Douglas nor
Pierce ror any other prominent member OF the
firm, intend to give way foot TO Buchanan. Ihey
sold out the North for q consideration, and now
they want their pay. They scout the idea OF STAND
ing ipglo.iously aside for man who did not help
TO engineer the great surrender. The consequence
il likely 10 be- therefore, that the scenes OF looZ
are 10 be played over again, snd some other lnslg
nfcant person is to be the nominee OF that Con-
vention From present appearances none OF the
old stogers stand any better chance Low than they
in April, 1882.
The handful Of highly respectable Northern Wing
hunkers who so longingly desire to rush to their
old enemies under the wing Of some such venerable
speciuen of ancient federalism ss Mr.. Buchanan,
msy as well put on their hats and start, without
waiting for such respectable company. They can
not be accommodated, but must take their leader
from among crowd they have long affected 10
despise. Let them not, however, feel unhappy az
going under any leader The old Democratic party
ha. met with change such as is hardly TO De found
in the n n atoms Of pa,te, 1t has become the
conservative party of the country Ii mas taken
I'D the position Of ultra federalism. 1t has turned
it's back upon and stouty resists every liberal or
radical idea 1t denies the rights OF man; IL calls
the Declaration of Independence tom-foolery; II
refuses to recognize State rights; 1t Is al ready
with It's sediiion laws; il utters messages and
proclamations agsnst the peaceable proceedings OF
the people; it threatens to "subdae the Free
States for resisting the extension OF Slavery In
word its leaders now in power aim at the centrau-
cation Of all authority in The federal arm, and The
entire subiugation Of every genuine democratic
idea. Tie doctrines Of the Democratic organlza'
ton to-day are the doctrines Of ultra federalism.
The combination, too, of the two great arbitrary
forces of the Countrywide Money power OF the
North and the Slave power Of the South-so long
kept asunder By anomalous causes, Is now 10 tnls
change rapidly approaching. Doctrines OF pohtl-
cal economy, now latent have prevented an ear
lier fusion But this fusion has long been seen to
be inevitable by all sagaci0us observers. The mo-
ment the repellant power has subsidized the two
forces come together by the laws OF natural at
traction. And now We have got the great trading
and money interes. of the North, the ancient enc
my Of the Democracy joining hand in hand with
the Stare power to suppress that Democracy, aud
doing il. too, under the organization of the Demo-
cratic party itself.
The more arrogant the rule of these two An
Republican forces, the sooner will the Democratic
masses srise and crush their power. The consum-
nation is sure to come. Let the small leaders of
the hour continue their processes of hopping the
boiler, stopping every vent and valve in the great
machine they WELD; they will all go together into
tie sky when the inevitable explosion comes. True
Democracy will vindcate its intelligence at no re-
mote day in way that will astOnish the traitors to
Freedom who now engineer the reactonary move
ment in this country. There is power which
shall overthrow all thrones and all despOtisms,
whether they be Of Kings or Of Olgarchies, whether
on the old continent or the new, and that power is
the Radical Democracy. Its organization should
should begin with the present crisis. lisp.
