''But we have no rejoicing over CON-
mon shame. We have no words Ut con-
graduation at an event which inflicts dis
grace upon our common country. The
more VIC deliberate upon the record OF
the last fourteen months, tie more do we
feel that blow has been struck at the
very heart Of our institutions, from which
We mag never recover.
We saw in this Kansas business, when
it assumed its new shape, last autumn,
the seeds of fatal decentralization.
Previous to that period it bore the as
pect of eminent fairness. 1t had been
diff, cult problem to others, to Mr.. Blu
chanan it was as clear as u sunbeam. He
felt SO himself up to the moment when
he supposed he could change his course,
and be sustained by the country. That
was the weight which pulled him
down. The whole nation stood appalled,
at the transformation. His very Office
holders hesitated, and there was not a
Northern Senator or Representative,
within our circle of acquaintance, who
did not, at first, doubt or denouncc the
unexpected and extraordinary example.
The only interest that applauded his
course was that extreme pro-slavery ca
bal, (kuovn to desire a dissolution of the
Uuion,) which had induced him to leave
those true and gallant spirits who had SO
long upheld his standard, and to surren-
der the holy principle, without which he
would be rcposing in honorable quiet at
Wheatland. From that moment to the
present. what have we witnessed? Moth
ing but succession of personal and po-
litical de.rcdations.
"Independent men, who would not bow
to the attempt to sacrifice principle,
were turned out of OF ce, and base and
characterless knaves put into their places.
"Solemn assurances to high functional
ries, written, spoken and printed, were
ruthlessly broken.
Representatives were compelled to
change their votes and to violate their
phghtei faith, and where conscience fail
ed TO approve, patronage came in to sup
port them.
ssCalumnies, the most attrocious and
cruel, were hurled against all who dared
to be true to the truth. The dark deed
of gang of reckless spectators in Kan
sas was made the test OF Democratic faith
Fraud and Falsehood were erected into
cardinal virtues, and the protests of if

were laughed at as the rawlings of rebels,

which differed from its precedcnts in this:

according to its southern expounders; and
which, starting ont in the preamble with
scandalous misstatement, crowned the

"Well may the Senator from New Yorl
