4 discovery has recently been made at
Washington, which exhibits the base treach-
cry witch perrades all political alliances
among the mcrcenary and ambitious horde
that look upon the goyernmcntas a vast and
we'll organized piece of machinery for plum
dering the people. The editor of the New
York Herald, while hcaping abuse upon
Douglas to fiatter the personal hostility Of
buchanan against the Little Giant has been
furnishing to the latter the sinews of war to
maintain his unequal fight. A Washington
correspondent to New York paper, gives
the following disclosures of the way to pre-
serve "a safe position bctwccnthe two bel
cgcrant PARTIES:
You may remember flat in last July,
When the Uoraid felt sure .ulge Douglas
Elust surcumb to the weightof Federal power
directed. against him IN llis.own State, that
reracous paper undertook to Show its de-
votion 10 the President by denouncing q a
certain financial agent of Judge Douglas,
who had visited your city fur the purpose Of
raising funds 10 support the Illinois Senator
i'll his home contest against centralized con-
troll
After abusing this agent for some days
very vindictivelv, positive news reached the
Teraid and the little knot of its groteges,
that Douglas had the best and largest ele-
ment OF the South on his side-that the
regular Democratic organization of Illinois
stood the Federal fire gallantly, and would
stand by Judge Douglas to the last-in fact,
Mcssrs. Bennett, Wood & Co, became final
IS convinced that stock in She Little Giant 5
enterprise would soon be high above par
aud that the best thing they could do would
he to c0Hcilate : the coming man in ad-
vance, while for the present throwing a
little pleasant dust into eyes not i'll need Of
any further obstruction
This conclusion arrived at, the Uerald
one fine day, announced the total defeat of
of '-1the begging agent sent by Judge Doug
f las; not ii eIi,lgeon in Wall street, it said
would bite at so poor q bait, and Judge
houglds must raise funds in another quar-
tyl- for carrying his Unreasonable practices :"
against the Administration Now this was
designed for the Washington market, and
for the time undoubtedly produced the effect
desired. The begging subscription had
been killed, and killed by the Hcr0MS ex-
posurc.
But we now find the real nature of the
agent mission switch was to borrow money
for Senator Douglas public expenses on.the
securii Y OF his private property, and in the
records of real estate in Chicago, we find
f2,O00 Of tile sum required advanced by j.
T. SoutteF, President of the Bank of the
Republic zone of old Bennetts euseful
fricHds), and $4,000 by Fernando Wood in
person, acting as the Land Agent and
Real Estate Broker for Bennett, Augustus
Schell, and the wife of the Collector 5

These parties are all the. professed politi-
cal dcvotecs OF Buchanan basking in his
smiles and feeding on treasury pap, while
they,are secretly making loansto Douglas TO
enable him to triumph over his arch energy,
buchanan. The clique, with two strings to
/ its bow, made sure to win, let the battle go
how it'might. 1t could give rords. to Bu-
