there.
While tho whole force Of the Adminis-
traiion was thus employed in concentra-
ting armies-the national instruments OF
despotism--In our territories to trample
down the rights Of our citizens. and
"crush out" the spirit Of the people, the
Indians on our frontiers are committing,
without restraint, the most unheard-of
barbarities and depredations.
With an ostentatious claim that the
"f'ng Of our Union" shall he full protec
ton to Whoever may float it over their
vessels OF tho Ocean, England has qui-
city overhauled our merchant ships, even
in our own waters, and at tho bidding of
the '.Slave power" the Administration has
succumbed. and, TO save appearances. is
vigorously attempting to got up another
war with poor, miserable, distracted
Mexico. So
In the meantime, the intestine war in
the party continues to grow fercer and
hotter. The strong n,eh Of the party,
thoso whose influence and position carried
Buchanan to the seat he occupies. dis
gusled with the compound of "wickedness
and weakness" with which he has sur
rounded himself, and to save themselves
from sinking with his doomed Admins
tration, have been compelled to dissent
from his mad schemes, and attempt to
check the career of despotism, which he
has So iusanely espouscd.
While, Douglas.and Stewart,and Brode
rick, and Ilaskins. and Montgomery, and
Foncy, and their compecrs, are accep-
ting and battling for the Democracy OF a
year ago, Buchanan and his hackers are
attempting to "crush them out" because
they will not sail under the flag of the
progressed Democracy Of to-day. Every
day increases the fury o: the fight. We
do not, however, think that either wing is
built upon foundation of true principles,
and shall not therefore be much surprised
10 see one or both, surrender or finally
again unto for the sake of the spoils.-
But even union of leaders cannot save
the Administration from that defeat and
condemnation, which awaits it at the hand
of an outraged people. Thousands Of
those who helped to bring itinto power will,
with a thousand times more earnestness,
assist to undo the evil by hurting it from
its position.
However tho Administration Of James
Buchanan may continue to receive the
support Of those whose tool he is, and of
those who hope for personal advantages in
return, we think all candid men must
admit that no previous Administration. in
the same length vf time. ever made So
many blunders, committed 30 many and
gross offences against the liberties Of the
people, or did 80 much to shake the conf
dcncc Of the thoughtful Of this and other
countries, in the stability Of our free
In short, the failure of the Admins
tiation OF James Buchanan is complete.
But, fortunately. the failure Of the Admins
tration is not the failure of the Govern
ment. and the people taught, by hard
experience. will. at the first opportunity,
correct the mistake at the ballot-box.
