The Plot ThickenS.

No prominent leader 10 the DEM
ocratic ranks ever deserted his party |
suddenly, and with the ayowed inten-
ton of going over to the enemy
They are generally too well skilled
in tactics to be guilty of such a.
course. 1t was claimed for Judge
White ia 1886 that he was better
Jackson man than Mr. Van Buren,,
and yet in due course Of time he,
with large body of democrats, was
fully identified and worked with his
ancient enemies, the bitter and unre-
lsnting opponents of Gen. Jackson
and the democratic party. Is it IN !
reasonable to suppose that Mr. Doug
las and those who cooperate with
him. mRy be playing the same game2
II is true they claim to be good dem
oerlts, yet their eopducs is giving
evident satisfaction 10 eur enemies.
Commenting on this subject, the.
Philadelphia Pennsylvania says:
"There is every appearance now
that the cloud which has thus far par
italy enveloped the designs Of Messrs.
Walker, Douglas, Forney and their
allies, will soon lift enough TO reveal
the actual intent Of their schemes a.
gsinst the democratic party. Thus
lar they have claimed affinity to the
democratic organization ofthe country,
and professed TO be the especial friends
Of the President But that game is
almost played out. In our own
State preparations are making by
those men to openly antagonize the
party, and if necessary, put up inde-
pendent candidates in each election
district in order to defeat the friends
of the administration who may be
selected. $50
thus much Of the plot has been
revealed by those in immediate con-
nection with the anti-Bucbanan, anti
administration organ of this city, the
editor of which has already spoken Of
as the anti-Democratic, anti-Le-
compton, Black Republican candi.
date for Mayor Of this city
Threats Of vengeance against those
members of Congress from this State
who voted to sustain the Kansas pol
lev of Mr. Buchanan, are daily belched
forth by this class of men, who dc
not disguise their intention OF voting
for the candidates Of The black repub-
lican party in order to carry out the
designs of those leaders under whose
banners they have enlisted. In each
county of the State where the black
republicans have a live, vigorous or.
ganization, the agents of this anti
administration faction are actively at
work. patching up an amalgamation
for future use against the democratic
party, while the prime moverin this
c,mpaign is soliciting and begging
invitations from every obscure literary
society in the State to lecture before
them. as a cloak to cover his political
pilgrimages to the different black re-
publican leaders and wire-pullers IN
Pennsylvania. The object of all ths
labor and exertioa is to cement that
bargain which he has effected with
the opposition. by virtue OF whichI Il
is hoped to defeat all those men who
ara supporting Mr.. Buchanan at this hi
time"
It will thus be seen that the plans
aud designs of the Douglas faction
lists are mora fully matured in Phila
delpbia and Pennsylvania than any
whers else probably in the United
States, and it is well that they should
bs known aad exposed to The democ-
lacy throughout the Union, The:
claim to be democrats, yet viii not
hesitate to unite with the black re-
publicans to defeat the democratic
party. The sooner the party is pur-
ged of such material, the better for
i, and the country. a
