PENNsYLyANtAi OHIOI INDIANA!
The Dough-faced Democracy are crushed in
their strong-holds. 1t is not defeat but revo-
lution-not revolution, but humiliation. The
next National House of Representatives will
be overwhelmingly Republican. The Speaker
will be theirs the Committees will be
theirs, with unlimited power to drag to light
the corruptions by which the vast expendi-
lures of the few past years have found their
way to democratic pockets. The sham Utah
War, with its $4,000, 900 in contracts, will
all be explained, and it will be shown that
that excellent practical Democrat, Brigham
Young, and James Buchanan have never had
any serious difficulty, to be reconciled. The
extent and character of the conspiracy of the
Southern Secessionists and Northern Dough-
faces, to force Slavery into the Territories
and ultimately into the States of this Union,
by the machinery of the Judiciary, the mill
tary force and the patronage and money of
the Government, now hidden in the archives
of the Government will be unveiled. \ Re-
publican Congress wiH hold The pursc-strings
| of the Nation. But | have not space to
trace consequences now | will say word
as to immediate results:
First, 1t leaves not a shadow of doubt-at
least in my mind-of the defeat of Douglas,
and the election of Lincoln. A like result
will be produced in New York and New Jcr-
sey in November.
Second, The bogus Senators, Fitch and
Bright in Indiana, Wright in New Jersey,
Shield in Minnesota, and Pugh in Ohio
will Ia dgiye. out making a change o.
IL in the Senate.
These results are mainly, ii not wholly,
due to James Buchanan. | hold James
buchanan to be one Of the great bcneac-
tors OF the present age. 1t was reserved for
him to exhibit to the gaze Of his astonishcd
follow, rs, the true character of Democracy-
that democracy which issues Osteud mani
iestoes, which stuGs ballot-boxes. makes L.
compton Constitutions to impose upon terri
tories government that they abhor and mig
gers that they reject; toappoint Rynders and
Jones, and Cato and Lecompton scoundrcls
and murderers to high Office to endorse
Dred Scott decisions; to punish Walker and
Stanton for doing exactly what he sent them
to do to exercise the most impartial treach-
cry to foes and friends--partcularly to his
lrends,a las the Indian said: to make particu-
larly emphatic pledges only to yiolat,
them; to take the personal control of all
offices from foreign minister down to a
tlde-walter and fifty-dolar postmaster, and tn
distribute them to about as mean men as no
could pick up; to corrupt Congress with the
tens OF millions of the people, money he in
duced them to vote; and practically, to make
Democracy synonymous with double-yotinr.
Dali 't-stuifing, public plumber, corruption and
vice. Who could have crushed DOUGLAS. tbo
right arm of his party's strength and his
own, but Buchanan Who ,couid have dis.
graced Walker and Stanton but Buchanan
Who could have revolutionized PENNSYLVANIA
and Indiana but he? But his creates. feat
was to drive old Borks, with her IL 900 ma
Jority for him, into rebellion. Even the
Dutchmen would not stand the doctrine fiat
1t takes $4,000 white men without nirccrs
to be equal to 5000 with niggcrs.
buchanan is the Barrere of American politics
and Barrere, Robcspiere and all of that class
are visible beacons to warn mankind aro;nst
corruption and despotism. Buchanan's
career OF eighteen months comprises more of
meanness, corruption and wickedness than
the whole period of our history since the
Revolution His acts and example have saw
ed us from the insidious and more dapocrous
invasions of that dcspotism which sought to
plant slavery over every foot OF the American
Continent, by the potent charm of the word
Democracy. Thousands and tens Of thou-
sands OF honest and patriotic Democrats ara
disgustcd-and tens of thousands more will
be-
This Is the way an unprincipled and pcrfd-
ous old tyrant is converted into a nublic
oenefactor.
