The Third Act OF the Drama-The Split
Among the southern Democracy.

Starting out with the Presidential election Of
1852 as the practical beginning of sweeping
revolution in the political parties Of the country
Il may be said that we are now entering upon
the third act of the great drama The first was
the breaking up and dispersion Of the old wing
party with the defeat Of Gen. Scott the second
was the decentralization and destruction Of the
democratic party Of the North, commencing with
the Inauguration Of poor Pierce; and the third is
the inevitable split among the Southern demo-
cracy, commencing with the appointment Of the
Cabinet of Mr.. Buchanan, and coming TO a dis
tinct declaration of war from the secessionists
against The policy Of Gov. Walker and the ad-
ministration in Kansas
The newspaper extracts which we submit for
the ediication Of our readers, in another part Of
this paper touching this Southern democratic
detection against the administration, are very
significant and suggestive. They prove nothing
against the strict impartlality and good faith Of
Mr.. Buchanan, but they will go very far to
satisfy every honest reader Of revolutionary
proclivites-right or wrong-of this Southern
secession faction. IL is natural, too that
after having destroyed their party in the North,
this ultra Southern faction should next proceed
10 reduce the democracy in their own section to
violent revolutionary sectional organization.
Thus, while the old wing party, through the anti
slavery excuses Of its Northern nigger.worship-
ping leaders, was demoralized and destroyed, we
see that the old democratic party is in the broes
Of dissolution from the prosavery excuses Of lis
Southern nigger-driving managers The former,
too fanatical for the suppression of slavery was
first Frustrated In the South; and the latter too
ferocious for the extension Of slavery, has been
first broken up in the North.
This Southern sectional drift Of the democratic
party was first attempted by the nuliicrs against
the administration Of General Jackson, and bis
heir apparent for the succession, Martin Van Blu
rem. But the popularity of Old Hickory, and the
declaration in behalf of Van Buren, that he was
"a Northern man with Southern principles" car
ried the election of 1885, and the re nomi-
nation of Van Buren, in 1910. Defeated in
| ls40 the old Bourbons of the party de-
l manded another trial in 1874; but at
this point, upon the Texas issue the Southern
wing Of the democracy, through the machinery
Of the two-thrds rule, turned the tables upon the

favor of the Marshal and against the Stats

favor Of the Marshal and against the Stats
authorities
We are aware that the doctrine on which this
decision L. based will be obnoxious to cenuro
from our contemporaries Of the Times and Tribune
Still, we apprebend it viii commend Itself
to the approval of our people generally. The
doctrine of higher law, which these journals
vindicate, has not yet been put in shape to
command the sanction of any considerable por-
ton of the c1mmu ity. Nor has any decided
desire for anarchy riot, DISORDER and general
convulson OF society yet manifested itself among
any reepectsbls class In this nation. Under the
circumstances therefore, we imagine that Judge
Leavitts decision will be upheld by the people at
large, in spite Of any criticisms which may be
made upon it BY the higher law advocates.

The HEAT AND THE PUBLIC MoRTnuY.-We
note an increase Of over one hundred in the deaths
Of last week over those of the week previous in the
city Of New York. OF these eleven were victims Of
the Sixth ward riot In the mortality from diseases
of the stomach, bowels and digestive organs
there was an increase Of nearly 100 per cent, and
one hundred and FIVE deaths occurred from dis
eases of the lungs, against seventy five the week
previous.
This week, which begins so 6ercely, will doubt
less be marked by still further increase in the
deaths from dysentery, cholera, and heat. We
arc now in the midst Of one Of hot spells; and
persons who are obliged to be much 10 the open
air should exercise unusual prudence. Remem-
Der that the suns rays are almost deadly during
the middle of the day; that the way to get killed
by sun stroke is to drink bad spirits; and that the
best way to endure heat is 10 drink as little az
possible to eschew intoxicating liquors, and TO
use no more physical exertion than is absolutely
requisite.

tioa 70 the aggregate sugar markets Of the world
In view. however, Of the general desire 10 have
cheaper sugar, and wishing TO accommodate the
public, we have proposition of our own to make
in order to effect that purpose. The consumption
Of sugar in this country is estimated at seveu
hundred and fifty millions Of pounds year.
Everybody uses two Jumps 10 their cup of tea or
coffee; if they used only one lump this would
diminish the consumption one half, and save three
hundred and seventy-fve millions of pounds
Let US all agree to use only one lump. You be-
gin it.
