Radical differences Of opinion In party be-
tokens its dissolution. Disorganization y the
necessary consequences Of discordans ideas and
sentiments. For years the National Democ-
racy have been disturbed BY internal disagree
uents: and II tasked the resources Of their astu.
ties. politicians to prevent open insurrection.-
Since the accession Of Mr. Buchanan The dis
eepsions have broken out into violent irrecon-
cil.ble feuds. Individual insub0rdna.ion, ana
the promiscuous jar OF antsgonistic ciiques,
fragments and sections are now among IL
chronic vices The secret Of leadership IL un-
known 70 the leaders; and indifference or inde-
pendence 10 supersediDg the old conquering
qualities OF disipline and obedience with the
masses. When unity Of principle and purpose
ceases, Babel and The confusion OF tongues suc-
ceeds. The jargon Of National Democracy has
every variety Of dialect known to the political
vocabulary: Upon no question, grsa: or
small, are they unit If We except the extern
sion Of slavery within and without the States
On the Pacific Railroad, the Free Homestead,
the Improvement Of River and Harbor Naviga-
tion, they are divided by,a sectional line, the
South being against these projects a. one man,
% it is against every project calculated to de-
velop the West. On the question Of . Protec-
tive Tariff, Of Popular Sovereignty in the Ter
ritories, the Acquisition Of Cuba, we find the
same want Of harmony. The rebellion Of Doug
las demonstrates how deeply the Northern wing
of'the party cherishes Popular Sovereignty. The
ostracism Of that remarkable man by the South
ern Senator's, demonstrates how hateful to the
Southern wing of the party is any sovereignty
| but that of slavery. Discord reigns throughout
1 The Northern wing il divided from the South
ern wing, in the House Of Representatives, 10
the Senate, in the Cabinet, and in the Country.
\ What could be expected when the President
1 himself, who had been federalist, followed the
/ example of others, and recalcitrated The one
relic OF the old creed which the party preserved
vas free trade policy. This be formally
repudiated in his message recommending an
increase Of import duties. When the salt
shall lose its SAVIOR wberewith shall it be sailed!
When the President himself and leading Sena-
tors prove recreant to the established creed,
and pollute the ancient shriDes, what barrier
can resist the food OF apostacy and demoralza
tiony Nor, in the dark cloud which overhangs
the party, can any eye discern the seven-hued
sign Of future prosperity. On the contrary, por-
/ tends of more dire disasters are visible. The
gloom is pregnant with the fires of fiercer
wrath. To rend the sectional constituents OF
the party far assunder, and put . brdgeless
| food Of bitter feeling between, will he the
chief consequence, as it is perhaps the chief de-
sign OF the new aggression projected BY the
South-the establishment of slavery in the Ter
ritories by acts of Congress. The Northern and
Southern wings have Joined issue On this. Sen
ators Mason, Davis, Toombs and other repre-
sentatives OF the slave interest laid it down
as their ultmatum in the closing hours OF the
session. Douglas speaking for the Northern
wing, refused TO accept it, point blank. he
even had the boldness 70 assert a counter nltl :
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES BY C0ngresse with
slavery in the Territories. This he has since
reiterated in his Connecticut letter. declaring it
/ the only platform on which the National De-
mocracy can stand. Thus we see that the
tagonism between the Republican party and
the slavery extensionists is not more marked
I than the antagonism between the Douglas and
Mason Democracy. What this bodies for the
Charleston Convention is easily OWNED. In
| deed, the doubt is entertained whether that
convention will ever meet but if it should, the
/ principle of popular sovereignty will be repudi-
ated, and as a consequence, Douglas and his
Northern 10 lowers excommunjc Gated. In view
of these facts, the Charleston Mercury says,
"the Democratic party has no party cohesion,
and is no party at ALL" Elsewhere, in the same
article, it remarks, ''thc Democratic party of
the North like festeriRg corpse, is falling to
pieces The figure is strong, but true.
Let us now ascertain what commentary the
recent elections, and the popular movements in
| progress, furnish on the judgments pronounced
above. Reasoning, when verified by facts is
douby convincing.
Thirty Northern Representatives voted for
the Lecompton bill The Congressional cleo
tions in the North minnesota excepted) have
all taken place; and of the thirty Lecompton
men, only six have been re elected-three in the
city OF New York, two in Pennsylvania and one
in Indiana. Minnesota not having been admit
ed until the Lecompton question was decided,
| her representatives are not obnoxious to the
ban; but, nevertheless, ii il certain that her
next delegation will be Republican. Only six
sound members of the National Democratic
party from all the Northern States! The De
nationazed Democratic Party would be correct
nomenclature.
Simultaneously with the triumph of the Free
Democracy in ST. Louis, on Monday last, came
/ the tidings of Republican victories from Hart
fort, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago,
Springfield and other cities; and since then the
news has come,from Michigan and Rhode Island,
as well as Connecticut, and have heaped noun
tains of majorities on the PROSTATE National
Democracy. The great popular revolution,
provoked by slavery aggression, has left but
two members of that party on their legs out
side of New York and Philadelphia, and in
these cities the election OF Sickles, Cochrane,
! McClay and Florence was carried by Govern
ment employees, plumber contracts, and illegal
/ voting. The dcluge has overfowed the North,
and hardly wreck of the once omnipotent
National Democracy is to be seen amidst the
breakers.
The uprising has also extended to the South,
The Opposition in Virgda, according to all ac.
counts, has fair promise OF success. Kentucky
aud Tennessee are also the theaters of energetic
opposition movements. Tie Wing members. of
the Louisiana Legislature have summoned their
| party in that State ITO march once more to
battle and victory" The contagion has extern
ded even to Albany, and it is certain that North
Carolina and Maryland will respond in decisive
tones to the rallying cry which is pealing from
! State to State throughout the South.
| What does this movement import but that
the rejecting mind of the South is sick and
weary OF National Democracy-that the fate Of
| that party is sealed beyond redemption, end
that the Presidential election in 1860 will con-
| summate great deliverance.
