The Administration and the Disorganizers
OF the Democratic Party.
The disorganizing organs, cliques and lead
ers Of the democratic party cannot CON-
prehend the course of the New York Hr-
RAID in denouncing their schemes and move
ments, while il cordially supports the con-
sentative administration Of Mr.. Buchanan A
few facts, therefore, may, perhaps, enlighten
these disappointed leaders and cliques upon this
subject.
The present administration is in the most sin
gular position, in reference to the party which
elected it, of any in the history of The country.
Poor Pierce was carried into power by an over
whelming electoral and popular vote; and yet,
from his weakness and vascllating course and
from the conflicting intrigues among the mem
bers of his Cabinet and the party leaders in
Congress, this great majority, in less than
year was frittered away, and within two years
the democracy were reduced in the country to
an apparently hopeless minority This was the
state Of things in 1856, when, as their only hope
of salvation, the caucus jugglers of the party al
Cincinnati seconded the popular voice Of the
party and nominated Mr. Buchanan. So great,
however, was the load of poor Picrce's follics
and blunders that Mr.. Buchanan narrowly es-
capped sinking with it. But he was elected And
what then? The same conflicting cliques and in
triguing leaders that had broken down poor
Pierce forthwith set to work to rule or ruin the
new adm Douglas and his faction
in the North and West, and the whole company
of the fire-eaters in the South
The tactics OF these disaficctcd factions were
broadly developed at the late session Of Con
grcss; but the administration, upon Kansas.
Utah, the army question, the flibustering ques-
ton and other issues, was more than a match for
them all. But Notwithstanding all this, these in
sidous enemies of the administration are still
burrowing to undermine il, and to destroy its in
fuence and authority "a the head OF the party.
Accordingly. while in Illinois we find them open
ly fraternizing with Douglas against the adm-
nistration, because there they believe Douglas to
he stronger than the snti-Douglas wing of the
party, we find the sympathizers with Douglas in
other States apparently supporting the admins

league 10 break il down.
Thus the ire-caters of the South find their cx-
cuse for supporting Douglas in the bred Scott
decision and other distractions; the Douglas fac
ton in Pennsylvania are preaching the binding
obligations Of that mass Of rubbish the Cincin-
natl platform, while their brethren in New York
eyading all these nice distinctions. express a de-
gree of respect and good faith towards
the administration which they do not feel
We have thus no faith in this Douglas
faction, in any quarter. In this State and In
other States they affect patriotic love and adj
miration OF Mr.. Buchanan, because any other
course would al once destroy them; but these
professions Of faith are not to be relied upon.
The real friends Of the administration have yet
the task before them Of reducing these in
iriguing Douglas politicians. North and South.

to dismiss our doubts and present convictions
concerning these democratic disorganizers when
they shall have given us some more substantial
evidences Of good faith than any they have yet
accorded. In the meantime. while the masses Of
