ALLIES IN MISCHIEF.


and other opponents of the present National
Administration, continue to indulge in most
cxtravagant denunciation Of every pers n Or
patty that has desire to see the fair fabric of
our government withstand the shocks to which
it is occasionally subject. In this work of dis.
s-nsion. tho southern GROWERS find most ready
copyists in the journals of the north sanctfied to
the agitation Of political mot practically "Free-
Soilism." All the Petty malice Of men inca
yahle of seeing benefit to our country outside
Of the cneirons of Boston or the Lagoons Of
New Orleans is r. nsscrrei with cormor@n:-likc
avility to the columns of this class Of news
papers, and when an exchange is effected, the
mischief begins to work. Tho South will in
sist for instance. Oh IN immediate revival of the
Slave Trade end the establishment Ter force Of
slavery in Kansas, and as en- ad captandum ar
lumcnt, this Richmond ''fire eater" proposes
"to dissolve the Union if Mr. Buchanan does
not proceed to lean the Government in that
direction. The n. Y. Tribune, per contra, de-
,iauds that no southern man shall hereafter be
allowed to piece foot upontle Territory of the u.
s. with his negroes-that no slave shall here.
after "bc surrendered on claim" as the consti-
tntion provides, and that negroes shall be intro
duced at once TO the full enjoyment Of all rights
granted to the white race. If the Tribune is
not accommodated, it also consents to '.disso-
! ton"
These adverse propositions are copied in
each section of the Union and by the aid Of
language of very Incorporate character the
sentiments of each cotoic Of knavcs are stuff
cd into the noodles of aoft shells and the work
Of agitation is kept Up to toiling heat The
small Io.itican Of the North quotes the South
trn extravaganza, and rides into Office as the
champion Of Stree Labor"-the 'Plug Ugly
Of the South carries the Tribune in his pocket
snd Points to its paragral hs in proof Of the
danger to which Southern institutions will be
exposed rnless lie is elected In this way
each factious interest plays into the hands oi
the other, and like gamblers of whom we read
though ostcnsibly opponents, they seem so lucky
in dcflauding common sense of its political in
hucncc, that VIC can easily discover they arc
partners.
We could give fifty instances in illustration
Of the loint to which We call attention but il
certainly isl unnecessary. liza man really want:
to he placed on correct ground as political
thinker, it does not require any wire-drawI
arguments to convince him. He is under nc
necessity to follow Medcan thread into the
Labyrinth OF knavery that has ever sought to
destroy the democratic party and its worshpped
idol. the Coz .TITUTIoN of the United States
Between these hostile ranks the party of the
Union stands guard over the institutions of oul
sommun country. The success of either band
Of our opponents would ring the kncll Of Civil
Liberty. as their insane qxarrels have uproot
cd Religious, and almost destroyed Social in
tercourse. Peace is proposed by either, only
on the ground of entire concession by the other
and all practical men know, that in the most
trivial matters of life such compr on,ises can no,

with internal enemies, no sympathy with FIR
