The Administration Party fall
ing to pieces.

Pierce and Buchanan administrations which
we have from time to time published, and
Others which we continually see, reveal the fact
that the condition of the parry is anything but
encouraging to its members, and its contem-
plation not agreeable. In 1889. when the North
was deceived into the idea that because we were
to have New England President we should
necessarily have true Jcffersonian Democrat
the party carried all but two Of the sixteen
Free States In 1856, when the people had got
their eyes open 10 the fact that New Eng land
President could be as weak minded, yascillatins
aud servile, and as opposed to Freedom and jus.
tice, as mortal nature is capable of, the party
carried but five of the sixteen Free States. A
more disastrous effect could not well be brought
about
And now, in 1857, what are the prospects of
the party! The President who was brought
forward by the'South, and supported upon poor
Pierce Platform. is turning the same traitor
to the South that Pierce did to the North,
while the North care nothing for him, only to
applaud the treachery but despise the traitor"
Who can but see that the effect will be to com
pletely shipwreek the party. Buchanan is de
nounced by all the leading Southern organs of
Perces administration, for his foolish attempt
to favor the anti-slavery feeling at the North,
and at.the same time ask the support Of the
South
However honest Buchanan may be, and how
ever conscientious in his present policy, he com.
mitted foolish act in allowing himself to be
made the tool and chained down to a platform
Of Shareholders. And his deception is destroy
ing the party; for while every anti sla cry mar
in the country is gald to see the stand he ha,
taken in favor of submitting the Constitution
of Kansas to a vote of the people of tn,
territory, there is not one VINO will not at ono,
discover that, now that Kansas is lost to tn,
South, this move is but an attemps to appeas
the just wrath of an injured community, and i
possible by deception curry favor in the Repub
lican ranks
To prove the position which we have takel
on this subject, we quote from papers whose pc
stious show that they at least have chance t.
know what is in the wind. The South Carolin,
