Oar Democratic friends have appi@uI'u wy
highly the conservatism of certain "i the tre'
States, a. evinced by their voting for NJ. hoc
hanan. Subsequent occurrences IN 'nose o'"'e'
are calculated to raise very grave d'uo's "n''h
er they are not as much ahecteo wiz" 'n'
x;ru. Of abolition as others that voted differently
and whether in fact they did not regard them
.e,vs. in voting for Mr.. Buchanan as sustaining
the cause of the North against the south
w. have seen from exposures in Congress- and
,hroueh the press how extensively the party ban
oar. of the North were blazoned with the motto
os.pucbanan and free Kansas" and we now see
the free States that voted for Mr.. Buchanan ad-
herring with inAexibe tenaciiy TO the black league
and mastering in the memorable crusade against
the rights of the South. Within few days past
we have had Pennsylvania. Mr.. Buchanan own
S.ate. where the import of his election was best
understood choosing Black Republican to rep
resent her for six years in the u. ,. Senate
The Indiana Legislature is in the h1nos of '"e
.ame party. and the Democracy are powofless 10
order an election. although in default OF u the
State will soon be unrepresented in the Senate
Illinois has just indicted into the char OF her
Chief Magistracy Black Republican President.
These States voted for Mr.. Buchanan. Either
in 40 doing they believed themselves supporting
the cause of anti slavery, or, if otherwise. They
do not intend to back up the administration they
helped to bring into power by giving it support.
Whichever may be the fact, it leaves the Demo
cratic party very little ground for boas''ng OF
their strength and conservatism in the free states
and demonstrates that for the future that par
~ cannot be relied upon as defence against the
advancing march of Seward and his cohorts.
The plain manner in which British journals are
permitted to speak of the monarchy over them,
and the freedom with which they are allowed TO
counsel a change. would be u matter of surprise
to any not in the habit Of seeing English jour
nails. Bat for the bad example, in many respects,
set by our own republic, such doctrines and opln-
ions as are embraced in the following article from
one Of ihem--the Peoples Taper-could not be
promulgated without speedily bringing on n rev.
oluti,n in that country. The article is a com
mentary on the last mes nge q! President Pierce:
Here we have an old monarchy with German
ROYAL family costing million pounds per annum;

inhabitants of some continental kingdoms-and dcht
royal extravagances paupersm poor-ratce, taxation
and land rental increasing constantly That 10 what
we have here.
'on the other side of the Atlantic, there IS young
Republic, with q native President. who costs only
$4,000 per annum, national debt Of only seven
millions pounds, which might be paid OF in one y"ar

true, greater than our own, but the resources of
Great Britain and Ireland are more than great enough
to produce identical results The cause OF the DIFF

take a case in point Holland was once a rcpuh-

say the rivalry of England produced these results;
but in the face of that rivalry the United States
