that the Atchisonites and pro-slavery men
Of Kansas openly denounce Mr.. Buchanan
as an abolitionist!! They hope for nothing
but fair play during his term of Office, and
that does not suit them at all. Mr.. Geary
has brought with him full collection of
documents, embracing the history Of every
transaction Of importance connected with
his official career. At the proper time, and
with the consent of the authorities at Wash
ington, he intends communicating them to
the public. He says they will prove to be
the complete and entire justification of his
whole course. The powerlessness of the
majority, and the recklessly wild atrocities
Of the minority tyranny, had reached such a
point before he left, that resistance was i'm
possible. He was neither sustained by the
military, nor by the Judiciary. His own
life was, undoubtedly, in hourly danger. I
do not think his abandonment of his post, for
any reason, can be justified, but the pallla-
ting circumstances must be remembered,
that he had not received an intimation of any
kind from Washington for long period;
that no member of Mr.. Buchanan's cabinet
had communicated with him, by telegraph
or otherwise, and that he had been totally
neglec ted by the Pierce interest for some
weeks prior TO the 4lh of March.

Scott decision. by the Rev. DR.. Cheever
has been denounced already, from Sabbath
to Sabbath, from the pulpit, as invoking the
special wrath and vengeance Of the AL
mighty. And this is but the beginning of
this renewed agitation; for there are yet
over three years remaining for the full or
ganization Of the battle among the North
ern anti-slavery forces. AS the hue and
cry increases, the mouths of the three
thousand clergymen Of New England will
join in the wild chorus against the "South-
ern slave oligarchy"-th odds and ends of
the various Northern factions will be gath
cred together, including, no doubt, some
very active recruits from the disappointed
Office seekers Of the democratic camp. And
what will follow2 The answer is easy
There will follow the most terrible section
al crusade in 1860 against the South, in the
history of this country.
In 1856 any Northern man venturing, in
Southern State, to speak for Fremont, did
it at the peril of his personal safety. In
1860 there may be some such danger to the
Southern campaigner in the North. The
causes which worked out the tremendous
| Northern vote for Fremont are all yet alive;
the Dred Scott decision is adding fuel 10 the
flames; and it will only need the precipitate
admis sion of Kansas as slave State, by q
democratic Congress, to make the next
Presidential election as clearly geographical
as the boundary between the United States
and Mexico.
With these enumerated active elements ol
sectional hostility, discord violence, revolu.
ton and disruption already gathering around
us, and with all the symptoms existing ir
Wall street and throughout the country, o.
an impending financial revulsicn, how are
we to escape ruinous political and finan
cial catastrophe in 1860? Only by alarm
ing and arousing the financial, commercial
speculative and business conservative clas
ses Of the North, as in 1856. But will the,
be as easily alarmed? Will there be TIVE
deposition candidates to the democracy il
1860? Will there be only one democrats
icandidate? These are questions which th
future must determine. In the meantime

The American Party-Its Present and
Future.

The editor Of the Memphis Eagle and
Enc Yirer has had occasion recently TO ex-
press his decided convictions as to the pres
ent and future Of the American party, and
he has done it so briefly and forcby that we
subioin his views for the edifca,ion Of our
readers. The Enquirer says:
When strong man meets feeble one
upon the street. and knocks him down, pass
es on and forgets him, sadly neglects to pro-
vide for his own safety. The feeble man.
unless killed by the blow OF his strong ad-
versary, will recover at last. and if he have
spirit, will avenge himself, and bring his as
sailant to the remembrance of the outrage
and wrong done him. We have known cases
in which the position of such parties have
been reversed, and the erstwhile feeble par
ty become the victor. So in war, it is mis-
taken policy TO deride the strength Of an ad-
versary, supposed to be weak. This was
finely illustrated at the battle Of Buena Wis
ia. Overwhelmingly superior in numbers,
Santa Anna confidently demanded of Taylor
an unconditional surrender. Taylor knew
both the weakness of himselfan the strength
of his enemy, but relying on the war-like
skill and general superiority Of the material
of his army, hazarded his fate upon the is
sue of battle. The result is known TO the
world. Many times driven back and SEEM
ingly crushed-many times surrounded and
dslpged with an iron hail-storm from every
quarter, the morrow's sun rose upon the
victorious stars and stripes waving over the
field, and the flying. broken and bleeding
squadrons Of the enemy.
We warn the enemies of the seemingly
,Vhipped American par!y-we warn the VIC
torious Democracy who, rufian-like, affect

we warn them that it still has breath in its
body, pulse in its breast and beating
heart. We warn them to have a care, for

pillowed-by the flag Of the Union with
which it enwraps itself-by the terrors of
distracted country, by the blackness Of the

Of its enemies. The victor of the past may
laugh, as he diags away the spells, as IT,
ger drags its bleeding victim 10 its jungle to
devour it. Let him. Black up to his arm

satiated with patronage, he will lie down on

retain his footing at the helm, too lazy 10 ar
range the sails, and while the winds and the
waves are waiting it at their will, the pris-
oners chained in the cabins will break from
their confinement and swarm into power.
The only conservative element now known
to American politics is that which runs
through the platforms and the policy of the
American party. The present Democratic
party cannot exist. Its own managers will
break it to pieces. The people will not re-
main blind to its failure 20 accomplish what
its friends claimed for it the power to ac-
complish during the past summer. They
see its fruit withered upon the tree. They
see that peace has been proclaimed when
there is no peace. They see that the election
of Buchanan did not amount TO even trace.
They see the vaunted victory Of Democ-
racy in Pennsylvania defeat, and the men
of the party bought up like so many cattle.
They see. whithersoever they turn their
eyes, either dreary waste of corruption,
or passionate conflict Of hostile sectional
lists. They see no hope of reconciliation
without the Intervention Of third party
They see that the feud is deep, the hate toe
intense, the conflict too deadly, for the Union
to survive it much longer.
The people must look elsewhere. The
American party, slaughtered, to all human
appearance, is not dead. 1t will gather uE
its energies, we trust, in time to confron,
the dangers that beset the Union. 1t is the
true party, and will be, in 1860, as it is now
the only national party. 1t will have ma
tional candidate in the field for President
The other parties will have their sectiona
candidates, around whom respectively til,
hostile extremes will rally. The American
party offers peace; not war, to the people
1t offers them no alien influence in the ad
ministration of the government. 1t offer
them the proprietorship of their own do
mains, as an inheritance for their childre
forever. 1t offers them the best constitu
: ton the world ever saw, rescued, saved an
redeemed from the hands of the outrageou
: factions. 1t offers them liberal construc
ton of its provisions, SO that the magnificer
resources of their country may be developed
, In word, it offers America, as it should b.
to Americans, the children Of the men VIII
, won the battles of the Revolution and erect
ed the Republic. 1t has no partisans to re
ward, no enemies to punish. 1t is the onl
hope of the country. II is the only party
that can make peace, heal dissentions an
administer the government with clean hands
and upon national principles. All other
will fail.

Gen. Scott and the Administration

One Of the most pleasant things connec-
ted with the incoming Of Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
ministration has been the restoration of am
icable relations between Gen. Scott and the
present head Of the War Department. Gov.
Floyd, il is said, will not unnecessarily in
tsIiere with the General in the disposition
ofmntters belonging TO his position as Com.
mander in Chief, under the President, and
the evidence Of this is already seen in the
reversal Of the dispositions of Major. Gener-
ais made by the late Secretary of War.
