Throughout the entire North, it is well

recent elections, renowned the pledges made
in the English Bill and on these terms alone

the South, the Democracy have insisted that
the portions Of the bill pledging an exclusion

census, was ito most vital part, and in no

What Southern Democrats aay on this
subject may be seen in the following "ener-
getic" strain from recent speech of Col. l..
,at Whippy swamp:

srn Democratic nominees for Congress are
pledged to disregard the provision in the con
ference bill requiring the ratio Of population
for member of Congress before Kansas
should he admitted into the Union. This
dealing between the members of the Confed
srscy, was incorporated in the bill with
more than ordinary legislative solemnty.-
1t was an agreement entered into under
circumstances which invested it with the
sanctities Of compact To it faith was

Charleston Mercury sounds the kneli Of dis
solution for the Democratic party. 1t IN
cludes both wings of the North in one sweep
ins condemnation. Its pointed language on
the subject deserves to be reproduced in
full
Our readers have doubtless seen the re-
suit Of the late election in the North. ii
there were any two States in the North
which the Democratic party and the South
could rely on for continued support those
two States were Indiana and Pennsylvania.
They have become overwhelmingly anti
Democratic Indiana has in the present
Congress six Democrats 70 five republicans
la the next Congress, by the late elections,
there will be but foar Democrats to seven
Republicans In Pennsylvania the defeat is
still more striking. Out Of twenty-five Rep
resentatives there will be but two Demo
Gratis. The immediate cause Of this result
is that the anti-Lecompton or Douglas Dem
ocrats went over, as might be expected, to
the Republicans. We suppose, by this
course, they may be considered as no longer
constituting the Democratic party. The de
lection begun in tho Senate is carried out in
the elections But it is due to truth to say
that IA the future policy to be persued with
respect to Kansas and our Territories and
the Tariff, there Is no difference between
the regular Democrats Uho supported the
administration and The boiling Democats
rhieh opposed ii. The Eecomptp IN and anti
Lecompton Democrats both took the ground
that the Kansas conference act should be
violated, and that Kansas should be admit
ted into the Union, with or without the pop
ulaton required by that act, whenever she
applies to be admitted. Both took the
ground that the Tariff should be modified to
give increased bountes to the Northern
manufacturer. So far as the principles and
faith OF the Democratic party were.concern.

Again the Mercury says, still more en-
physically:

respect did the anti-Lecompton Democrats,
