| This agrees very well with the sentiments of a
distinguished democratic orator of the South IN the
| last Presidential campaign, and which was quoted
| approyngly by the Southern democratic press at
| the tme:--
tell you what firmly believe that this grent question
not 10 be settled by diplomacy by craftsmanship,
but by the sword
Again this same gentle son of the Southern de-
mocracy added in the same speech:.-
The constitution Of the United States should DO
fragments, and Southern constitution formed in which
every State should be slave State The only hope Of tho
South in herself Lot cut the bands which hold tho
two sections together and take position as ful
grown nation in the family Of nations.
This variouslY softened or intensified, is the AMI
mus of the Southern democracy. The New Orleans
Delta, the confidential organ Of Jefferson Davis, in
well written, cool and determined article on the
election of Mr. Buchanan used the following threat
ening and impudent language
The Presidential contest OF 1868 is ended, and that Of
1860 has just commenced The struggle for the Pres
dency is over and James Buchanan is elected, bat the
issues involved in the contest arc not yet settled These
yet the womb of the future and what the next four
bring FORTH must wait TO hoping for
the best while should be iorearmed against the worst
When the admission Of Kansas into the Union TO be
late contest conducted She will find, we fear that
extension Of slavery the middle ground on which the
to stand She will find that il will be difficult, IL not i'm
possible to bring Kansas into this Union as snve state
She will find that the day Mr. Buchanan signs bill 10 that
effect ever passed his party will be dead and buried az
tho North. There is but offset to this condition OF
things and tina, to make She South SO strong in her ma
tern progress her domestic reforms in her social
victions her political attitude, keep the North in
check by the only arguments which remain to be used
against free soifcar and interest He owes his election
nc fha S.ut IN tha
lance which she was beginning TO assume H. should
bear that fact well in mind. lie will be traitor ami in
sensible 10 every manly feeling of gratitude he forget
and disregard the obligations il implies.
This is the kind of fire which everywhere lies
pent up in the windy bowels of the Southern dc
mocracy. The squatter sovereignty Interpretation
of the Nebraska bill, viii III the Northern demo
cratic faction has settled down upon, it repudiates
abhors and means to break up the Union it it is
applied to the new Territories. On this subject
let that venerable authority Of the Southern demo-
cracy. the Richmond Enquirer, speak -" 1t is
often charged that the Kausas-Ne braska bill con.
tains the doctrine Of squatter sovereignty. Now
this gun must be spiked So says the democracy
| of the South. Now let us hear the Detroit Free
Press, equally venerable Northern democratic au-
thorty:-" The national democratic party has
agreed to stand upon the doctrine of popular sove-
|
solemn one and the democrats OF the North will ad.
here to it, and will insist upon adherence to it. We
speak emphatcally, and we give currency to
the undivided popular democratic sentiment OF
the North
And this is the way the Calhounized democracy Of
the South showsit sharp teeth to the Van Burenzed
democracy Of the North; and Of such dscordant and
fiery elements is the democratic party composed
and with this kind of preparation must it GO inc
the next Presidential campaign. What are its
chances there? How long can this party, which
was born of Buffalo and Nashville, last? In est.
mating its chances to obtain re spectacle age, we
must not forget that it is not really one party,
united upon a common creed and held together BY
the band of mutual principles, but it is, in fact two
parties, having two centres which precisely as
far apart as Buffalo and Nashville. There was an
immense popular majority against it at the last
Presidential election, and it was only saved from
runous defeat by accidental circumstances, which
are not likely to occur again. It's only hope Of
another triumph is in the bad management Of
the opposition. If the republican party is
| mad enough to nominate Seward or any man
like him. this CalhounVan Buren, democracy
may obtain another four years lease
of power Though Even then its success would
not be certain; for il some third man. with conserv
alive democratic antecedcnts who has plenty OF
material for popular excitement in his history, like
Gen Houston, were to be put upon the track by the
conservative national men Of all parties, he nigh,
outsrip both the Calhounized and Van Burenized de
mocratic party, and the Sewardzed republican fac
ton, and successfully win the Presidential race In
the present demoralized condition of all parties an
independent stump candidate, who throws conven
tons TO The dogs, and comes out before the people
with pure patriotic record, and with that sublime
power of intellect which the occasion demands
would be quite sure to awaken the widest entliu.
