The Kansas policy of the President has

election is scarcely an Administration victory
The President has put the Democracy O

kept that party divided in the contest and so
secured a tremendous and overwhelming Re
publican victory. Surely, by this time, the
old man must be satisfied that Lecomptonism
must be repudiated by the entire Democracy
of the North, in order to preserve the party
from total destruction. Eight Republicans

Congress in Indiana, and all three of the lat

In Iowa, none but a Republican victory
could have been anticipated, but that it
should be in conjunction with large decrease
in the strength of the Democracy, shows
how fatally the Kansas policy of Mr., Buchan
an has worked upon the integrity of the par.
ty.
Wherever the Democratic ticket either
congressional, State or County, hes succeed
ed, it has done so by the candidates, either
being for Douglas or specially pledging them
selves in opposition to the English Bill.
Even in Kansas, where there has been an elec
ton lately of territorial officers few Dem
ocrats have been elected but they had il
every instance to plant themselves squarel,
upon the Anti Lecompton platform.
Such is the voice which is laundering III
against the Administration of james Buchan
an. At the head, but lately, of great an,
united party, he has succeeded in aggrava
ting to the utmost intensity the sectiona
spirit of the North by his shameless out
RACES upon the peoples rights, and next il
dividing the Democratic forces, by his indie
cent prescription of great leading Democrats
in such a manner as to ensure Republican
triumph on almost every hitherto inyincibl,
battlefield of the Democracy Instead o
doing all that lay in his power to allay the
exciting differences which his own wretched
" imbecile policy had aroused in the Demo
cratic party, and bring all the energy and
power of that party to bear in the contest
with the doubly and trebly and justly awak
ened wrath of the North, he went to work
like tyrant gone crazy with an unexpected
exaltation, to hunt down with all manner o
prosecutions those Democrats, in every Stat,
of the Union, who had honestly but midi,
and becomingly differed with him in regard
to one pet measure of his Administrations
He set his hounds upon the track of sucl
great champions of Democracy as Walker
and Wise and Douglas. The ilustrious Iii
nois Senator he followed up into his own Stat,
and among his own constituency, sand de-
manded that the Democracy of which thai
great leader had been for years the head anC
front, should, in the hour Of his need and hi
peril, abandon him; and when they refused
in their regular State Convention to do it
why, then, contrary to all Democratic usag,
and precedent, he, Tor his myrmidons fol
him. insisted upon a boiling of the regular
organization, and the formation of new anC
separate Lecompton party which should throw
itself into the field and so create such divis
ion, if possible, in the Democratic ranks a
would result in a Republican victory, and
the destruction of the greatest living Demo
crat Of the North. In Pennsylvania and In
diana, in particular did he also set his en-.
gines to work to defeat those Democrats who
had dared to say their souls were their own
Everywhere did he stir up division, as much
as possible, in the Democratic ranks, exasper-
ating those whom he could not awe with the
irowns OF power, by striking down or at
tempting to strike down those men to whom
they had always looked as the pillars of their
party. If any Democrat, who has stood
true to the Cincinnati Platform. true TO the
Kansas Nebraska Bill, and true to all the
great cardinal principles of the party, has
succeeded in any Of the late political contests
it has been in spite of all the power of oppo-
sition, not only of the Republicans, but that
the President Of the United States, claiming
to be the head of the Democratic party, could
bring into the field against him. The un
precedented example has been set of Dem
ocratic President warning against his own
party and attempting to PROSTATE the very
men upon whose shoulders he was lifted to
the Presidency.
The result of all this, as already indicated,
will be, that the Democratic party. as an en-.
hrety must abandon Mr.. Buchanan. or forev.
