A formidable array, indeed, on paper and forml-
dablc inauiry indeed to mscontents who would seek
in the numbers Of those accompanying them, conso-
lstons for Representing conscience and immunity
from the moral penalties of broken faith. II would
not be strange however, if the zeal Of the Press
this subject had outrun its discretion and it, in its
nervous anxiety for aid had invoked il from those
who are by no prepared TO render it. All
this win be in due time, sDd shall not un-
deriake now to define The positions in reference to
Kansas and the administration Of any Of the gentle
men whose names osienatiously paraded by
our Phladelphia contemporary. Ii does not follow
however, that every one who was induced TO
sent an advance to the policy imboded in Mr., liar
riss resolution is committed thereby to oppose the
admission Of Kansas under the Lecompton consttu-
ton and TO Join the Press in It's desertion 10 the
back-repnblicaus. But while a matter Of justice,
We inierposc this oarra to the designations Of the
Press We do not recognise any potency in the array
of few prominent names which can either palate
the wrong Of apos;scy or can turn aside the honest
masses Of the democratic party from their fidelity TO
any great purpose which, in duty to their country,
they may have determined TO accomplish Where
there is will, there is way and, where that
will is ihe result Of a faithful desire TO protect
the laws Of the country, 10 uphold the constitn-
ton, to preserve the Union, and to keep the
plghted faith of sections il is apt 10 be strong
will which, impressing itself upon the honest heart
of the unse6sh of country, is sure to
evoke popular response which will drown the wall
ngs of dsgruntled presses rebuke the cowardice of
deserving politicians and set neral guotne to work
that viii consign to shades Of oblivion the whole
host of trimming time-sersers who may place them
selves fairly in its way.
The aliuson toJackson and his times, TO dissenting
cabinets and deserving congressman to the effort Of
President to force his party upon platform Of his
own adoption, is unfortunate. The Philadelphia wri-
ter must be still in the hornbook of democracy and
ndifferensly posted, yet in its early traditions. II
the deseriion Of whole host of protesscd friends
had been heeded by General Jackson in the memorable
period of his administration when he "took upon
himself the responsibility" Of the most important
act Of his life, the Of Jackson would never
since have been invoked with pride by the de
mocracy whom he led 10 triumph. We qnote
striking passage from the history Of this remark
allie period of General Jackson's life, when the
lnghauls aud Duanes Of Pennsylvania, and when
even some Of the very men who now desert Mr.
Buchanan in his own State deserted as ingloriously
