IN sending new minister to Washington

tendency OF our Government as far as South

The North America arrived at por tland on

1t IL seriously unprecedented at Washington

ground Of its multiplying the Monroe doctrine.
NO Peace.
The journals Of the Black Democracy are
sstonishsd that the Republican Party are
still sleeping up the agitasion," A. they are
pleased to call the struggle Of the freedom
loving, patriotic portion OF our people for
the restoration Of the Old policy and the
old slavery landmarks Of the nation. They
are ~ malignant in their maledicsions upon
US, rs they are astonished at the continuance
Of the struggle. They can find nothing too
severe to say Of us because we did not lose
heart at the result Of the late campaign, lay
down our arms and give up forever. They
have yet to learn o lesson. The crack OF the
slave-drivers' whips, or of the whips Of their
minions and toadies in the FREQ States,
brighten US no more now than they did two
months ago. The campaign did not termi-
nate with the late struggle for the presiden-
cy. 1t only began with it, II you cheated
yourselves with any other idea, it 10 time that
you should be expressing your surprise on
discovering the delusion. You defeated W
at the polls, by represent alton o. the
Sonth. You, "white mans party" as you
call yourselves in scornful irony, have sue
cesded on negro capital. But you have not
crushed out and subducd she great body OF the
white men and the free spirit Of the nation,
and you are fast learning that you are not
to enjoy the fruits OF this canvass at your
ease. You may express establishment that
there should be no cessation OF hostiities,
but You may assure yourselves confidently
that there is TO be none. You have
struggle now on hand, not for a few months
only, but vigorous and hotly- contested
struggle, opening with the death of the g-
nominious Administration which is now at
its last gasp, and closing not even with
the termination OF Mr.. Buchanan's admins
trasion, unless it should SO happen, as we
believer it will, that he will resign his power
into the hands Of Republican President. No.
gentlemen you have not won victory
you have not gained truce; you have only
retained 40 outpost, after most desperate
struggle: and still the war goes on, 6erccr,
stronger, deadlier than before, aud no blank
amusement, no feroeious dia,ribes, no au-
dnciousness Of lies will serve to impede the
steady concentration OF that latent love Of
freedom and hearty respect for the true spirit
OF our constitution which in its FIRST decided
manifestation has well-nigh cleaned out all
the corruptions OF later days and revolution
lied every department Of the government.
We have eleven states, and one million, three
hundred and thirty -four thousand, Eve hun
dred and City three free voters rs capital for
the new crusade. Victories have been won
with less odds than that to begin upon. So
yon may calculate upon no rest, but lively,
unIntermkted warfare, with raking broad
sides. Mr.. Buchanan's administration will be
made too hot for the cow snience OF 80 auiai
