~ The leaders OF the Administration
Party in the House Of Representatives,
are Faulkner, of Virginia, Clingman of
North Carolina, and Stephens of Geor-
gia; all of these Jealous advocates Of the,
present, democratic party, were but a
short time since ''Old Line Wings" and
bitterly opposed to the policy of Jackson,
VanBuren. Polk. and Pierce. Mr. Bu-
chanan's administration is not democratic
whether we view it in regard TO the prin,
ciples it attempts to maatain, or the
antecedenis of tie men who are the most
active in the support Of those principles.
Was there ever more bitter enemy 10
Jackson, VanBuren, and Polk, than Hen
ry A. Wise, the Governor Of Virginia
and yet this same Wise is now regarded
as the very embodiment, and personifca-
ton, Of sound National Democracy. II
is not denied that Mr.. Buchanan was
himself, once a strong Feleralist; but
as Senator Bigler pleads for him the
"Statute of Limitation" it would perhaps,
he unkind to twit him with his early
indiscretions. We must confess however
that in looking at the measures of the
government, and at the history of The
men who arc engaged in the carrying ont
Of those measures, we are unable TO find
any Of the elements Of True Democracy,
in the party now in power.
The organization contains, in lis own
bosom, the elements Of its destruction;
and before three years roll away it will
have expired by its own hand. II is true
that, in view of The spoils, the office
holders will cling 10 The party, as the
mariner clings to the last plank of the
wrecked ship. when night and the tenn
