WHERE DO THEY STAND 2

There about bakers dozen of persons who
have heretofore acted with the democracy in the
northern States, who devote all their time to
saving the party from the % errors" into which il
is to be plunged by the admission of Kansas into the
Union. They the fact that admission is almost
universally advocated by the democracy it is
party measure by the positive declarations of the
President, his cabinet both houses of Congress- at
least twentysx out of hty-one States by nineteen
twenteths of all the democratic newspapers and
yet they would set up the decision of mere tridng
faction against t-they would save the party They
see too that they are cheek by jow with the repub-
licans, whose they trying TO build up just
to save the character of the democracy. One of
our western cotemporaries wants to know Where
he stands p Why, sir, you stand in the very centre
of the republican ranks You stand against the dem
ocratic party in office and out of office. You stand
against the decisions of the Senate and House caucus
You stand against the democracy OF the States whose
votes elected Mr. Buchanan You stand against
nineteen-twentetbs of the democratic press As a
democrat you stand in the republican ranks, de-
serter an alien, enemy.

Inc new lOTk NEWS puDllsneh tne IOUWlnR excellent
letter addressed by Robert Tyler, esq, to of the
democratic meetings recently held In that city:
PBrL,pmrmA, Feb 2s 1858
GENTLEMEN 1t affords great pleasure acknow ledge
the receipt of your letter inviting to participate in the
proceedings Of the meeting of the democracy be
convened at Mozart Hail. in the city of New York the
evening of the I'd of March next the object of which
to endorse the governmental policy promulgated in the
Kansas Iecompton message of President Buchanan In
the event of not being able to be personally present my
written views n favor of the peaceful policy and action
of the President respectfully solicited
The Kansas question has been threadtare by the
varied discussion through which has already passed. and
do not propose to enter at large that topic simply
beg permission to say in few words that entirely accord
with President Buchanan in his views of Kansas affairs both
the ground of expedency and law and further that
personally know him to be pure and brave man. noble
patriot and most enlightened statesman fully deserving
the confidence of the country He not only deserves the
confidence Of the country but in despite Of the cnmor
Of excited politicians there is doubt he possesses it.
1t is true that in steadily maintaining the supremacy Of
the government and the majesty of the laws of the Uni
ted States two leading issues full of embarrassment
attended with great popular irritation in the northern,
and the other with similar irritation in the southern
mind have copspired to place him in difficult and try
ing position before the country Mt the very outset of his
administration But he has met them with unfater-
ing devotion to the principles of the constitution and
the requirements of the public welfare and in my iudg
ment, statesman has exhibited greater degree
of rmness without presumption, of courage without
due excitement, and spirit ut and the same time
more resolute and composed.
am happy to observe that the clouds are now fast
disappearing from the political sky With tho settle
ment Of the Kansas question: to be closed trust
the tranquility Of the nation will be in great measure
il not entirely, restored The administration will no
doubt then embrace the opportunity of directing its
divided attention to other important subjects both Of
foreign and domestic concern, calculated to advance the
prosperity and honor of peaceful and united
country
With great respect your friend and servant,

QUERY.--It has been customary when the demo-
cratic members of the Senate and House met in
Washington to consult together and arrange plan
of operations for the future. The selection Of off
GERS, and the more important questions connected
with the general administration have been subjects
of special consultation between the friends of the
party. 1t has occurred to that when Mr.. Douglas
arrived in this city he might have been aboring un-
der the impression that he was the sole director of
the democracy for without consulting any body, on
the very second day of the session, he in the
Senate, aud in a at once full of command and
defiance undertook the work of tripping the President
and the great majority of democratic senators and
members of Congress. The fable of the fox and the
oyster illustrating ''the difference between catching
and being caught" has been happily exhibited to
the distinguished senator from Illinois He has
found that democracy is not a man--but princ-
ple--and that principles survive men.

A SIGNIFICANT sIoN,

II the results Of the popular elections al many
points at the North since the dscussion OF the Kan
sas question IN Congress may be taken as significant
of the popular sentiment in that QUARTER Of the Uhab
the sectional fer,sent ind agitation on which the
blaekrepnbcan and abolition partsans rely for their
predicted sweeping overr.arow Of the democracy,
ena which have frightened hesitating democrats in
and out OF Congress, from their proprety, will prove
to be delrsive hope on the one hand, and ground
less apprehension on the other.
recent instance in the State Of New York may
be taken as illustration of this truth The Erie
county congressional district (ncluding the city Of
Bufalo) is ably and fearlessly represented by Mr..
Hatch. His course OH the Kansas question, II is
well known, has been sighalized by decided stp=
port of the position of the President and the policy
of his administration in favet of the immediate adj
mission Of Kansas under the LecoiBpton constitution

where no spot could be more fitly selected for it
than this identical locality Under such eircum-
stances, the town elections tout of tho city, were all
held on the 3D. inst. They were preceded by re-
markable flourish of trumpets, and by the must In
famnatoy appeals to the people to take the field in
defence of Kansas and freedom. Mr.. Hatch was de
Dounced; his course assailed as defiance Of the
will of His constituents aid While credit was aRard-
ed him by the backrepublican organ for his bold
ness he told that he had nothing left but TO re-
ceve his condemnation from the people, and that
the friends of the administration had no alternative
but inevitable overthrow!
