THEPAYNEAND DOUGLAS MOVEMENT

In alluding lately to the Anti-Administra-
ton meeting of protesting Democrats, held at
Columbus on Saturday last, we stated that we
had prepared a few comments on the remarks
ofthe speeches, as we found them reported in
the Commercial, but RETAINED from giving them,
for the reason that the Statesman denounaed
the Commercials report as altogether unreliable
We are now satisfied that the Statesman (in so
characterizing the report ofthe Commercial) did
great injustice to Mr.. Payne and the other
speakers. 1t placed those gentlemen in false
position, one which, we do not suppose, they
care about occupying They are opposed to the
administration Of President Buchanan as COM
pletely as are Salmon p Chase and Other B2act
Republicans, and they do not care who knows
it. They want to break down the Administra-
ton fer ULTERIOR PURPOSES, and no Black
Republican desles to go further than that, at
present
The Statesman, dsubtless, thinks that this
is either too premature or too bold a movement,
and, therefore, wants to soften the demonstra-
tion of hostility as much as possible. 1t under-
takes to deny that either Payne, Judge John
son, or Morton, denounced or ridicued the
President or his Administration. The truth
being published might cause honest minded
Democrats to inquire, where are these men like
ly to lead us, if we follow them? A little more
preparation is necessary before a bold stand can
be taken in opposition to Democratic President
and Democratic Administration.
Mcssrs. Payne and johnson have become itin-
Grant stumpers against the Administrations
They attended the AntiAdministration meet
ing at indianapolis, on the ODD, and there re-
pcated the speeches they made at Columbus
Those speeches We're denunciatory OF the Pres
ident and his Administration--no only on the
Kansas question, but other matters; and not a.
lone Of the President and his Administration,
but also of Democrats who support both. At
indianapolis, the meeting was as much Black
Republican as anything else. The Speakers
some of them, at least-stated that the Doug
las men and the Republicans were standing up
on the same ground and should unite in oppo-
siton to the Buchanan or Administration De-
mocracy.
The design Of these movements is very evil
dent to our mind. A thorough opposition to
the Administration is to be consolidated from
the Democratic and Black Republican parties.
Mr. Douglas is to be considered its leader, and
to be its independent candidate" for President
in 1860. The Republicans, as party will
have to support Mr.. Douglas or go 10 The wall.
They will have to choose between Mr.. Douglas
and the Democratic candidate. 1t is to force
the Republicans into that position that Mr..
Payne and Others are now acting as we find
them; and, to succeed in tlier plans it is neces-
:sary to cut loose from the Democratic Admin
istration, denounce it aud appeal to the Repub.
licons to unite in n consolidated party against it.
This is what they are accordingly doing, and
we ask Democrats to watch their course, and
judge for themselves if what we say is not the
truth.-CincinnaH Enquirer.
