Mr.. BUCHANAN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
A Washington letter to the Worcester (Mass.)
Spy is going the rounds Of the opposition press,
with great flourish of trumpets, inasmuch as
the letter purports to give the facts Of q recent
familiar conversation between the writer and Mr..
Buchanan, in which the President is represented
as having expressed very poor opinion Of the
democratic party Of these latter days. He is thus
stated to have said that "the party is dsorgan-
lied and split up into all sorts Of factions" that
it is "incapable of adhesion, or of carrying any
measure as a party;" that he, the President,
"without the aid of the black republicans, could
not have carried through any measure at the
present session." "that if he had q republican
Congress he could get along better than he does
with the factious, unmanageable democrats, who,
the moment he proposes measure for the honor
and glory Of his country, raise embarrassing
questions" and that 70 republican Congress
would feel some degree Of responsibility resting
upon 1t, and would act with reason"
Such are the declarations attributed in the
aforesaid correspondence to Mr.. Buchanan, con-
corning the democratic party. He may, and he
may not, have expressed them; but whether he
did or did not, they are perfectly true. The
democratic party is "disorganized and split up
into all sorts of factions" and so much has it
been thus split up in Congress, that, practically,
upon every great measure, it has been reduced
To an impotent minority. Thus, every important
administration bill passed at the long session
and at the short session of this Congress has
been passed through the assistance of patri-
otto men on the opposition SIDE 1t is equally
true that republican Congress would be pre-
ferable to this defunct democratic Congress, be-
cause "a republican Congress would feel some
degree of responsibility, and would act with rea-
son." If the President, therefore did utter the
views thus attributed to him. he simply uttered
the truth, the force of which, upon every point
made, he has no doubt fully appreciated for the
last twelve months or more. A repoblican Con-
gress can thus have no fears for Mr. Buchanan,
whatever may be the terrors of the wrangling
democracy; and if he has thus freely expressed
his mind concerning them, he has only vindi-
Gated the truth Of history" He can do without
this factous democratic party and It's factious
| leaders. Let them help themselves, IL they can

THE NEW OPPOSITION MOVEMENT m vm-
GNIA-THz RICHMOND ENQUIRER BEFoGoEp.-
Speaking Of the new opposition organization in
Virginia, the Richmond Enquirer says that this
organization is an old affair that it was not
commenced in Virginia, but that the work was
begun long ago, and In quite different quarter,
and the late convention was the mere echo of q
sound that originated nearly one year ago on the
shores Of Lake Erie. In the city Of Buffalo,
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-03-04

under the Immediate management Of Mr. Clapp.
under the supervision of the Buffalo Etpress-a
republican paper-this work of reorganization
was begun, for the purpose of strengthening
the republican cause"
This statement Of the case involves an ex.
ceedingly bold misrepresentation of tho true
position of the Virginia opposition movement
The affiliations in this State last fall between the
republicans and Americans were gotten up EN-
tirely for the local purposes of those elections ;
and the late Virginia opposition convention
had about as much connection with this afore-
said coalition movement of Mr.. Clapp al, Buffalo
as with the late movements Of the Richmond
Enquirer against the leading measures of Mr.
Buchanan's administration, and no more. The
simple truth is that this new Virginia opposition
organization is an independent affair, and that
its policy on the slavery question is not less hos
tile to the dreeating, nigger-driving and flibus-
tering Southern democracy than to the anti
slavery heresies of the Northern Seward
republicans. Nor is the object of this Virginia
opposition movement fusion with the republic
can party; but it aims at the organization
between the two existing demoralized and
sectionalized parties of the day, Of great
constitutional Union party, South and North.
Hence, we have no objection in the world to the
defeat of the demoralized democracy of Virginia
in the approaching State election there "a de-
feat which may be accomplished; for we believe
that such defeat would be the Inauguration of
wholesome general revolution, involving the
overthrow of the secession Niger drivers Of the
South and the disunion gger-worshippers Of
the North.
