the Northern faction Of this party pretending
to represent principles Of a National char
acter, proclaimed IL ~ : part and parcel Of
the Democratic creed to secure the Freedom,
of Kansas. They made the welkin ring with
shouts for ssBuck and Free Kansas" How
was it with tho Southern Democracy? Did
they too shout for ssBuck and Free Kansas"
No, sir! freedom Of speech ID not tolerated
TO that extent, in the South, BY the Souttera
Democracy. No, they had no sympathy for
Free Kansas they quoted the Cincinnati
platform to prove that BUCHANAN was pledg-
ed to the interests Of the South. They pro-
claimed far and wide, that the National
Democratic party was committed beyond re-
demption to extension Of Slavery over Ter
ritory then free! Yet, notwithstanding these
n-get-a-round-ablo confiotions in regard
to the national character Of the principles
advocated by the Democratic party, We arc
told, in the most pointed manner, that it is
National party. The only Nationality
about it, that We can discern, consists in
this: The Northern and Southern factors
consort together a. National Democrats,
not for the purpose Of producing legitimate
national principles, but for the sole purpose
of securing public plumber, They ere not
indissolubly wsdded-they do not live to-
gether happily-at least, the parties com
posing the pair, do not perfectly agree in
regard to the manner Of governing tho chill
dren, and it is thought that divorce will
be the consequence. Even the cohesive
power Of public plunder," would seem to
be insufficient to keep the parties together.
Each party protests its entire innocence Of
tho charge Of kicking up the family row,
but nevertheless they have family muss
upon their hands. 1t matters little to Us,
how they settle it, but it seems rather in
consistent,just at this time,to hear the bellig-
erent parties crying "peace! peace! when
there il no peace" and still continue to
faunt before the gaze of an intelligent pub
lie, the old Democratic flag, bearing the
inscription Of the harmonious National
Democracy" of the North and South.
United States Senator. f's a
The Council Bluffs Bugle CDemocratic)
has an article column and a half long, on
the Senatorial question. 1t comedies that
the election Of a Republican Senator is in
enforcing the duty Of voting for General
Jones upon the members Of the Assembly.
1t thinks that If the Democrats should vote
for any body else, "it would be not only in
judicious but absolutely disgraceful to the
Democracy."-Dubuque Tribune. ,...
And thereby hangs tale. Gen. JONES, as
will BIO seen by tho following letter, sup
ports the views of the President, in regard
to affairs in Kansas, while the Bugle is
strong ally of the "Little Giant" Under
these circumstances, we suppose the Buglc
will no longer insist upon the minority of
the Legislature endorsing tho official con-
duct Of the Great Doughfacs, by an empty
complimentary vote. However, We shall
expect our neighbor to ''let himself out" on
the subject in short order.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER
Washington, D. c., Dec. q. 81.
I have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 18th inst, invi-
ting me to participate with the " true do.
moc,acy of the State of New York" on the
23d, in "the expression of their confidence
and responding to the sentiments and recon-
Of his recent message" Moth
ing, beg to assure you, could afford me
more real qualification than that of being
with you on tho proposed occasion; but
public duty will preclude the possibility,
however great my inclination to the contra
~, Of absenting myself from Washington at
the time mentioned. l will add, however,
that the objects of your intended I" mass
meeting meet with my most cordial appro-
baton. 1t is fitting that in the great COM
mercial metropolis of the Union the first
grand demonstration of the national democ-
racy should be made in support Of those au-
gust measures which were announced in the
late message of President Buchanan to Con-
gress, having for their object, as they assu-
redly do according to my conviction, the
peace Of the whole country md the prosper.
Ity Of the Union. And it gives me the high
est qualification to say that although can
not be with you in person, and participate
in the proceedings which are destined to
have an undoubtedly beneficial influence
upon the country and its politics, yet, be-
lieve me, my heart and soul will wander to
your gathering and mingle in whatever acts
of eclat may be given to those measures of
the national administration which is in con-
temptation on your part to bestow. Be-
lieving, as most solemnly do, that the po-
sitions taken by Mr.. Buchanan upon oil the
more important questions embraced in his
late message are calculated to affect the
country benefcially, if faithfully carried
out, as ! doubt not they will be, SO far as
the executive can give them force, and never
for moment doubling his integrity. patri-
otism and ability, nor the enlightened spirit
which warns into action those who are asso-
ciated with him in the administration of our
national affairs, l hesitate not to say that,
so far rs at present advised, nm prepared
to go with Mr.. Buchanan and his admins.
tration to the fullest length in carrying out
the measures suggested in the message.
Thanking you, gentlemen, for the polite in
vitntion with which you have chosen to honor
me, and expressing the sincere regrets feel
at being unable to respond to your call, l
will subscribe myself,
GEO. W. JONES.
