The New York Herald is one Of the most
Jealous Buchanan organs in the nation. It's
editor. too, is said to possess the confidence
Of the President IN an extraordinary degree,
aud to be fully acquainted with his policy
and Intentions.
Such beng the case, it is fair to presume
that the Herald reflects the purposes OF the
4 administration in regard to Douglas aud his
!rieu1s. 1t saw :-"Ualess Mr.. Buchanan
applies tho Cuillotino at once to all such in-
subordinate attaches Is Douglas and his re-
tanners, the Democratic party will be entire

OF the traitors who have preceded hin. No
halfway measures will answer. A house
divided against itself cannot stand; and the
RsCCsiNTS, North aud South, must be made

yiGei aud hearty ADHESION to Its measures. -

Now, we have huaireds and thousands of
Democrats in Virginia aud the South, who

!stratIon, aad vino have not only never re-
pented of their ~otence, but who sill boldly

cd against thar great test measure Of the
Administration. lie still persists 10 the be-
lief and in the assertion that it was q fraud

him in opinion. Aud yet, while Douglas

the Administration, through its organ, the
Washington Uninn, has On no occasion Ia.

such gross deuuocIation Of Douglas and
such profound silence as To Wise, when each
has committed precisely the same ~otfence!
Boz the lieraii calls l,udly for the heads
of all ant;-Lacompton Democrats, and we
presume thar the Administration will soon

The Richmond South argues, ard in the
I n.aia very correctly, that the whole blame
for tot encouraging Virginia manufactures,
aud Virginia commerce., rests upon the reo-
pie of Virginia themselves, who wU buy
! goods at the North. even il they can get them
as cheap and as good at bone. 1t cites va.
rious instances TO prove this fact. Ii urges
the Importance of buying here iu Virginia,
Of Virginia dealers, whatever cun be procur-
ed upon as good terms as eisew here. ltdoes
not ask a farmer to purchase at an exorbitant
price the goods Of a Virginia merchant, or
the products Of a Virginia mandatory or
nursery, but only to deal in Virginia in pre-
| ference Of at the North, when toe citizens Of
the former will sell as chesply as the latter;
and we submit that it is asking only what
every man in the State ought to be most vii
