of our Democratic papers are putting
forth are worthy only of smile of con
tempt. Retainers of the Administrator
have found themselves in wnful mi
nority and, after long columns of abuse
chan ges oftreason, Black Republican:sm
and Abolltionism,they now come around
mealy mouthed and declare they didn't
mean it, there is no differences of any
consequence among the Democracy, and
we had all better come together again
harmonize and be cosy and thick as
thieves. After having suffered tho
contumely of the Administration press
for months, it would indeed be a sad
commentary upon the spirit of the
Douglas wing should it turn and
lick the rod If malignant chasiisement
While a portion of the Administ ration
press is po ring forth its denunciations
on the head of Broderick, another por.
ton is bleating for harmony. These
latter with the most modest assurance
in the world, tell us there is really no
issue between the Douglas and Buchan-
an wings, or the difference Is that be-
tween tweedle dunn and tweedle dee
What say the principal men of the twu
wings on this point :
Robert J. Walker shows in an able
letter that the issue is between right and
the most arrant wrong. Apart from
the teachings of any honest mans judg-
ment, the elucidation of the Kansas
question by Walker is evidence enough
for Douglas man of the gulf that sep
arates him from the Administr alton Sc
ceders.
In a long letter of Washington " (b.f)
the full width "f the breach i'll the Dem
ocratic party is admitted. ltis solemnly
announced to Dan. Gclwicks that the
schism is more serious than many imag-
inc, and intimates that the roll would be
called, and the Democratic .oldiers must
take sides forever. Other evidence is
not wanting and all abundance of it too,
to show that the Administration men
regard the party as actually rent i'll
twain, and the Douglas wing as lost
among the Black Republicans, where,
as they say, the Douglas Democrats
properly belong, and there let them go.
These editors who are so pliablc now
after their faction is overwhelmed by
the people, are indeed most wondei full
set. Facile as Polomius, concediug in
the same breath that cloud looks like
whale, very like whale, a camel and
a weasel. They have yelped in chorus
to Buchanan and Washington (b. f.
and row are willing to bark in uuson
with any other cur whose lungs a,e
strong enough to give the loudest key
note. One Of these fellows devotes Il
portion of his paper to the abuse Of
Dave Broderick," "Ipsedoodle" and
others and has the ''check" to attempt
in leader to soft-sodder the people that
the contest between :he two vii gS of
the Democracy is as triting as the silly
waIfare between two mountain papers
OH the proper orthography of pc me
Were the bone of contention su worth
less, can these pliable editors not see
that they have written themselves down
eyregious asses a thousand times while
making much ado over the Kansas ques
toni But putty-like as these conduct
ors of the press are, similar and c"nge.
nial spilits are not wanting among us.
Not long since it was asseverated that
the failure to admit Kansas under the
Lecompton constitution would tear open
the wounds of that "bleeding" country,
convulse and distract the American peo,
pie and dissever the Union. Lecomp
ton failed to be indorsed, and croakings
have become touched with the jublIant
Loud mouthed as ever, they are now
'glad the id question is settled"
