THE WASHINGTON UNION
SHAKING IN THEIR SHOES.

The blackrepublicans are evidently alarmed at the
turn affairs have taken. A little while ago, when a
few disorganzers and would-be leaders went out of
the democratic party and set up for themselves they
inclined to be jubilan and talked with the CON
fdence Of men who imagined that victory was within
their grasp. But since the democratic masses have
spoken out--snce voice has everywhere come up
from the people endorsing and sustaining the Pres-
dent in his patriotic endeavors TO settle the slavery
agitation-the tone of the backrepublcan press has
undergone very decided change. Greeley thinks
the administration has probably gained at Washing
ton by the apparent apathy at the North and he calls
Justify for series of earnest animated antiLecomp-
ton meetings in the free States and to his people in
Indiana he says:
We entreat the republicans of Indiana to circulate
the documents, call public meetings, and that they
provided with effective speakers to cultivate harmo-
ny in their ranks and extend open cordial hand
to whoever may ut any time be disposed TO cooperate
with them in securing justice 10 Kansas and extending
the area of freedom Let them at all times eyince a
readiness to let bygones be bygones to meet every sin
advance half way and to let prejudice bitter
of the past interfere with the duties and the efforts
of the present "
Kansas will become State, and peace and quiet be
secured to the country he is willing and even anxious
to extend the right hand of fellowship to doughfaces
and traitors he has been in the habit of calling
those northern men who have heretofore acted with
the democratic party.

last week. Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, used the following
language
doubt whether there single northern democrat

that does not feel he is stepping into his political grave
and that fearful retribution awaits him at home
Had it been Mr.. Morriss intention to pay the gen.
tlemen to whom he aludes deserved compliment,
he could not have accomplished his purpose more
effectually than he has done in the paragraph just
quoted There is no nobler spectacle no stronger
evidence of mans honesty and trustworthness
than to see him. in obedience to his convictions of
right boldly asserting principle and fearlessy dis
charging his duty, in the face of political ruin and
destruction. In this have only to regret that
Mr.. Morris has not had the moral courage to initiate
the example of those to whose patriotism he, un-
consciously, perhaps, has paid welldeserved a
compliment

The President congratulates Congress that the country
Is on the best terms with the other Central American
States and with all foreign nations The claims OF
foreigners for money due since the time of the federal
government have been paid off and the rest will be set

The President gives the following favorable account of
the progress of the country
The progress of the country, Messrs Representatives

factory is that the customs of the people keep pace with
the general progress Thus year that passes leaves

In another place he says If don't mistake, Salvador

that boast to-day that of its eat the bitter

The Spanish American alliance question to at

thriving States would be compelled to impoverish them
selves in order to support their lazy and thriess neigh

SOLITARY AND ALoNE.-Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, il
the only southern senator who has much as
intimaed an intention to vote against the admission
of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution; and
if he does So il will be in direct violation of the
known wishes of very large majority Of his consit
uents. and in the teeth of the instructions of the
legislature of his State He stated in the Senate on
Friday that, at present advised, he should disre-
gard those Instructions but that further develop
ments, further argument, and further light on the
subject might work change in his mind Judging
from his past course, the country has very little to
hope from his promised reflections. 1t is his habit
never to take his stand great question until the

sued call for State convention to be held at Salem
Tuesday the 18th day of March, 1853 for the purpose
of nominating candidates to be supported by the democ
racy at the June election in 1865 and for the tnsac

The Jacksonville Herald, noticing this call, says
This will be by far the most important democratic
convention which has yet been held in the Territory
Aside from the nomination of candidates for offices under
slight importance in isclf-many interesting matters
may be expected to before the convention for deter
mination The party lines must be strictly drawn so
that may be enabled to who with and who

embraced among its members one Tom Elliott,
an ncorrigible wag, who was not noted for any
particular and marked attention to his studies.
Mathematics was particular object of Toms
disrebard, and this caused him an occasional eu
desprH with the dry professor of comics, On
one occasion, the professor, during the recita-

EXECUTIVE PATRoNAGE.-Everyo one knows
that the number Of persons who hold office under
the general government, and are in greater or
less degree dependent upon executive favor for
continuance in office, is very large yet we doubt
if there is any definite general knowledge of the
aggregate number. The editor of the Montpc-
lier Waterman has been overhauing the "Bue
Book" for 1857, and from safe estimate mot
actual COUNT" finds that the roll of federal of
flee holders exceeds .ftfy-three HouSand-about
three times the number of men in the standing
army At such time as the present, when
changes are making in all the government Off
ces throughout the country, it will be safe to set
down for every man IN Office three ont who are
straining every nerve to secure places, and are
therefore equally tempted to win favor by sub
serviencv. This makes body Of two hundred
thousand men who are directly under the intiu-
ence of Executive-being more than one-tenth
of the entire Democratic vote cast i'll the last
Presidential election! Add to these the news
paper proprietors and editors, scattered all over
the country, who are recipients of Executive pat
ronage in the shape of advertisements, and an
adequate conception can be formed of the i'm
mense influence which the President can exert
to shape public opinion to meet his or his par
tvs wishes This influence has been unscrupu-
lousy exercised of late years, and never more
shamelessly than under the present admnistra-
ton.

as If the runors that he had become rcconcilcd
IN the President, and was taltering from the de-
FAINT position that he was understood to occupy
some weeks since. He SAYS of the pledges to
see fair play, and have the Lccompton ConSti-
tuition submitted as a whole to the whole pco-
pie of Kansas, that the President and all his
Cabinet well knew Of them at the time they were
made and that any abandonment OF thcm OF,
his part, after the people had accepted them ana
acted upon them, would cover INN with inlailNy
and dishonor. and that they shall be redeemed
by him if necessary to the latest hour of his OK
istcnce, even to the shedding OF the last drop OF
his blood. He saws: "Whateycr may be the
action of the watering, the timid or corrupt
monnccs and prescription have no terrorfor me. y
Toward the close of the letter he says:
sis this the SIND year Of our Independence
or is it the first year of IB,crjcaR NoHarchy that

The democrats of New Hampshire, in their
late losses of distinguished leaders, find conso-
lation in the return to the party-iold of John
Atwood of New Boston. Atwood is hard-shcl
Baptist minister, who left the democrats, several
years since, because they thought he had been
state treasurer long enough, and We presume he
now goes back because the republicans have not
done as well by him as he expected. The only
achievement of which he was ever guilty was
that of clipping for several days with the keys of
the treasury department, in order TO prevent
certain disclosures against his party from being
verified by the records before an election.
