hitherto unbeatable ssNational Denocras-
. party" Il i the forsrunner q many
Ihings. It's the lesio o. history tho com
plstion Of N inevitable destiny. Events
have been tending towards this one point for
years. Evea men pervaded with wild parti-
san spirit have felt il coming, although from
prudential motives they have refused to &C.
it. The vote in Washington is
! complete vindication Of the course Of the
party. TITS an Acknowledgements
Of the crrectness Of our statements in regard
to Kansas, and Of the pre-slavery purposes
of the self-styled ssNational Democracy"
"The men who have broken from their par
", and ranged themselves side by side with
the Republicans, may yet claim to belong to
the Democratic party, but their claims will
not be allowed. The Democratic party, So
called, is founded upon tho quicksands Of
slavery, and be who fails to stand upon that
foundation ceases to belong to the party
We care not what they call themselves, in
the present or in the future, or how much
they cringe and fawn before the Executive,
or how many resolutions they may pass as
serting that they "still'' have confidence in
James Buchanan. 1t will avail nothing, ex-
cept to breed contempt. Buchanan belongs
to the South. He belongs to the s'National''
Democratic party, and he who bolts from
his Administration on this great issue Of his
party and the Administration have not his
Confidence" nor will they be regarded IS
members Of the "National Democratic
party. The head, body and brains of that
party are in the Slave States. The entire
animal, with the exception Of couple of
tail joints, feed amid the green pastures of
the South. The men who have joined the
Republicans in the fight for freednm. have
committed the objectionable sin, Douglas is
dead in the South and unless he and those
who favor him, join the Republican party,
he and they are dead in the North too
They may pretend to stand in the ranks Of
the ssNational Democracy and do its dirty
work, and feed upon its crumbs, but they
will be trusted no longer BY that party
They may organize faction in the North,
but it will avail nothing. The hosts Of the
Republicans will override them, and trample
them. The people are too earnest upon this
great question of extending Liberty, to be
thwarted or driven aside by faction. The
only living issue now before the people is,
shall free principles or slave principles pre-
vail in the government of this country p
There is no middle ground; it admits of
none. 1t is sharp cornered and direct. All
can see it, oil can comprehend it. The Slave
power has ruled US long enough. 1t broke
into splinters the once great and valiant and
noble Wing party. 1t has now done the
same thing for the Democratic party. If
any one doubts this, let him look at the
facts. Why is it that Douglas, Cox and the
rest of the Democratic boilers in Congress
are every day voting with such men as Sew
ard, Hale, Sumner, and the entire Republic
can phalanx in the two Houses? Who do
these men associate with now? With the
Republicans. What sympathy have they
with the Browns and JEFF. Davises of Miss,
and the Kietts and Orrs Of South Carolina;
and what sympathy have those Southernors
with them? Not any. 49,.
Nor do We hear any taunts now, by the
Douglases, and other heretofore prominent
"National Democrats and their organs,
about s'bleeding Kansas" or "Freedom
Shriekers." They ssshriek" now as loud as
We ever did, over the wrongs of Kansas
They acknowledge the exact truth uttered so
often by the Republicans respecting the
perpetrated by the "National De-
mocracy' in that fair but ill-fated territory.
The day of retribution has come. The blood
of freemen has not fallen in the wilderness
for nothing, nor will it remain there una
venged-the crimes and cruelties Of slavery
propagandists will not pass away without
Justice and judgment overtak,ng them. We
have never doubted that the time would
come when the Republican party would be
vindicated by the people for the noble stand
it had taken. The time has come, and come
too, when our opponents considered them
selves the strongest, and the Republican par
ty near to its death struggle. 1t should
teach every man never to doubt the omnipo-
tence of both public and private justice, or
to question the correctness, in tho end, of
the verdict of the people. s"#.
