What the NOrthern Democracy
have s'suffered'' for the SOnlh
in the last Four Years.
At the time of The introduction of th'
Kansas Nebraska Bill into the Senate. b,
Judge Douglas, which bill among oihe
acts, repealed what was known as the Mis-
souri, Compromise, the Democrats of tht
free States had on the floor of the Senat.
t,Oenty-one members. They will have bu
seuen after the 4th of March, 1859, making
a loss of fourteen in four years. At the
commencement of that period the Demo
Gratis of the Slave States had in the samt
body seventeen members; they will have
fwenty'eig after the 4ih of March next
being gain Of eleren in four years.
In the House of Congress in 1854, tn.
Democracy of the North numbered ninety
tWo members; they will in the next Con.
gress number Observation-Disclosures and
Douglas combined--being loss Of fifty
nine. The Democracy Of the South had
in 1854, sirty-eight members in the same
body. In the next Congress they will mum.
Der, in all human probability. eighty fire,
being gain of seventeen in four years.
In 1854 the Democracy of the North
numbered thirteen Governors of free States
We now number three. Our conteinpora-
ries can count the luss.
In 1852 the Democracy Of the North
gave President Pierce one hundred and
JJty.eighf Electoral votes; in 1856 they
gave, with hard work, President Buchan-
an sirty-t,co Electoral votes, being loss
in four years of ninety sir. The Democ.
racy of the South gave General Pierce
n;nety-sir Electoral VOTES, and Mr.. Buchan-
an one hundred and twelve, making gain
in four years of eighteen.
After the concessions" which have been
made to the anti slavery sentiment Of the
North" within the past four years, if the
smallest possible further concessiop" was
made by our brethern of the South, We
are afraid We Of The North might possible
have enough left ito point a moral" but
nothing TO spare. We think it would be
much better for our health and future
growth if our brethren of the South make
no more such concessions" to the "anti-
slavery sentiment of the North as have
marked the past four years.
All this is most unleniably TRUE. 1t is
none the less certain, too, that the last four
years are but the beginning of that fully
assured domination of the South over the
Democracy which will only end with the
ruin of that party. The constantly decreas-
ing power of the Democracy everywhere at
the North, except We're such men as Doug
las have created temporary diversion 6y
efeeting Republiconism, points significant
ly 10 the speedy disappearance of that ele-
ment from Northern politics, like the last
retreating darkness of "baletul eclipse"
1t is coincidence on which the Engmr-
er and its friends will do well to reflect,
that these last (tn Northern Democrat>)
dismal four years commenced just at the
time this party ceased to adopt anti-slave-
ry resolutions, aud TO disguise itself before
the people in all the colors of abolition
ism" which they now denounce as belong
ing to "Black Republicanism." We go on
farther now, in regard to the slavery ques-'
,ion, that the Northern Democracy pro,
fessed TO go then. Experience shows con-
thai our creed is that of the peo-
Pile, and that IT WILL PREvAIL.-C Cincia-
