The great Democratic party, being
the only national political organization
in the Country, and the only party
protesting an ardent attachment to the
Union and the Constitution, possesses
such strength that rome Of the broken
factions Of the opposition are enabled
70 contend with it with any respectable
show Of equality, or likelihood Of sue
cess, and therefore, it became necessary
20 consolidate those various factions
upon some equitable basis, equitable
according to their notions of cthics.)
looking to- a distribution Of the spols
in the event Of success, without any
expectation that, among themselves,
there will ever be complete fusion, or
union Of power upon common plat
form,
Know Nothings, Abolitionists Black
Republicans, and Anarchists, will not
loose their identity in the present ALI
ance; for rs soon as their warfare
against the Great Democratic Party
ceases in November, the same bitter
hate Of each other which formerly
prevailed, will break out with renewed
force, whether they are successful in
electing Fremont or not. There never
can be any permanent union in this
mOnstrous alliance Of irrcconcilahlc
forces, and the principle of "scf gov
eminent" has SO completely establish
Cd ITS claims to unanimous support,
that it already bears the impress of an
eternal existence, and no considerable
party can again be formed upon the
principle Of opposition. to such sa-
cred right as the Kansas Nebraska Bill
enunciates as due to every freeman
1t is an Unsuitable thirst for power and
hreasury plumber, which draws togeth-
or the political demagogues of the OPP
position, and the different masses
whom they lead, are such blind fanat-
les, that while they are hurrahinc for
free soil and free speech, their cunning
masters, the leaders and woull-bc Of
6ceholders are chucklng with delight
at the prospect Of again handling the ,
money bags Of Uncle Sam, and wear 4
ing the dignity Of official honors.-
Poor innocent fanatics! When money :
. needed to swell the Golfers of the
fund, huge wall is sent up .
for aid to liberate the poor freemen Of I
Kansas, and suddenly the sheep take !
up the "bleating" and are shorn of their ,,
'woor to the tune of thousands, which 6
they think will be employed in send ; /;
ing men and munitions of war to Kan Z
sas, but which really is used to eject
tho Willy demagogues who have re- .
ce'ved nominations for office. What !
pltiable verdancy This matter is so
we'll understood by the knowing ones, |.
that the indirect among them occa- Z
Dionally let it out. For instance. the
Gazette not very long since, affirmed I
that 1t was not expected that this wick :!
I'd alliance Of the opposition factions :
would last longer than the ensuing 9
elections, and that then each faction .
would 60 poaching upon its Town 9

guerilla warfare against each other as .

'nee their object is attained, the dis O
Of Offices will be confined to ,

'litionists and others can again take up

What asplendid programme for po-
