There is an INSCRIPTIONS faction Of sectional
disorganizers in the South known as the seces-
siOnists, whose political programme may be
summed up in three words-rule or ruin. This
faction, after the heavy chastisement which ii re-
ceived in 1851, in its movements Of that year for
the dissolution of the Union, would, it was sup
posed, remain quiet and powerless for mischief
for at least twenty years to come. But this rea-
sonable expectation was speedily extipguished
through the corrupt and trucking expedients of
poor Pierce to compass the Cincinnati nomina-
ion. With the democratic convention at Balt-
more of 1852, these secessionists were formally re-
tored into the party camp, and by their adroit
management of Pierce's administration they
were rapidly elevated to the command Of the
party throughout the cotton regions Of the
South.
In this posture Of affairs this secession wing of

to compass, If possible, the absolute control of
the federal government, through the Presidential
nomination of the party. But the wind and the
tide were against them-the spirit Of the North,
and the controlling sober second thought
of the South. And so, after trying in vain to
touch bottom with Mr.. Pierce and with
Mr.. Douglas, the seceszionists made
virtue Of necessity, and surrendered to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Buchanan the siae qua non of Penn
sylvania, and the conservative democracy of Vir

Cabinet and the inaugural Of the new President,
however, revealed to these desperate Southern
ultra conspirators that they had counted without
their host, and that this amiable gentleman from
Pennsy lvania had viii and a way of his own.
From that moment, falling in their attempts to
rule, this secession faction began to plot and
threaten the ruin Of the administration.
