malign counSels of a yndictiyc cabal OF Presi-
dental aspirants.
We know that Mr.. buchanan is advanced in
years we know that he held office during long
period; we know that his head has been sill
yered over by the hand Of time, but what was
is not the less true Of him, that the man ''who
after having seen the consequence OF a thousand
errors, continues still TO blunder, and whose age
has only added obstinacy to stupidity, is surely
the object of either adherence or contempt"
We said that we did not believe Judge Doug
las viii approve ofthis attack. lie had no DIFF
ference with the administration but that OF his
owh seeking--his family were and still are,
provided for at the publ &c expense, and this he
owes to the courtesy Of the President. lie
knows the charges against Mr.. Buchanan to be
ialse, and he knows that he owes much to Mr..
Buchanan. while Mr. Buchanan owes nothing
to him, for he owes him not even for the sup
por.w which he had a right to expect of every
Senator elected as Democrat, bat which was,
in part withheld. That Senator denounced the
passage OF the Conference bill which settled the
vexed Kansas question and all who supported it.
On that bill. the Ohio Democracy, and that OF
other States, now stands as a unit, and certain
ly having gained the object of his present am
bition by the votes Of men who supported the
Administration, Judge Douglas should have
torebore to sound his bugle for the charge,
which will not only ovorwhelm him, but with
him all who love the men better than they love
the principles o the party, to whose Organiza-
ton he owes his all.
The opening OF tbs article says that "the ac-
.ion of the Legislature of Illinois yesterday e. c.
the election ofJulge Douglass has removed the
last possible excuse for silence" and then
comes the false and slanderous charges. Why,
let us ask, il the Administration sought the de-
feat ofJudgo Douglas, did the Times forego its
bitter abuse until its patron was elected? Simply
because it knew the charge to be false as it was
malicious. Judge Douglas had received a unan-
mous vote from the Democratic members for
nomination, as be did for election. The Times
feared such an attack on the Administration
would produce different result, and our faith is
strong that it would 1t kept mum--its tone
was moderate and concilatory, while the venom
which it then feared to eject, was iestering in
its ed itor's heart. Unlike the rattlcsnake it
gave no warning Of the attack, but on the con-
trary it followed the course pursued by other
and less noble reptiles and drew its Shiny form
along until it could strike its unsuspecting vic
tim without notice and without cause.
five hal the rcmoteSt ileI that the Times
acted in this matter at the instigation Of Judge,
Douglas--ir we thot that Senator, as others do
the master spirit inthis shutter; and that he was
like the French IN the Crimoa, anxious to
avenge the Waterloo Of his defeat at the Gin
cinnati Convention, we would bring to the re-
collection Of such Of his Illinois friends as are
engaged in the unholy warfare for the disorgan-
ization of the Democratic party, to the facts
which the political history Of the country pre-
sents. Aaron Burr was once cherished lead =
er of the Democracy with commanding talents
and noble frame. He became Presidontially
ambitious--ieagued himself with his political
cucmes--turRkd traitor to his party and then
to his country and died in neglect, and his
name, out orpity, is measurably forgotteu.--
The elder Van Buren, man OF noble talent, af
ter filing the whole circle of official honors, fail!
ing to grasp the Presidency second time, in
the rancor Of his heart, aided in a defeat OF its
candidate, and now the world scarce knows Of
him. So with all disorganizcrs. May we all,
no matter how high or how low our station in
life profit by these examples. As it hiss been,

Democratic press, and all concerned can govern

0Cy~The above able article from the Cleve-
land National Democrat, in relation to the scam
dalous and mean article which appeared in the
Chicago Times, of the 9th inst, the morning af-
ter Senator Douglas e.clection to the Z. s.
Senate and which is given above in full, meets
our approval, eXaept in one particular, and that
is this; We believe that the article from the
Chicago Times Of the 9th inst, not only meets
Judge Douglas approval, but that it was either
written by himself or at his instigation, before
he left Chicago for the South. Any intelligent
reader will see thahe Chicago 1jnaes'article was
not written upon the spur of the moment, but
that it is a well studied piece Of scandalous
falsehood and outrageous libel upon the present
Chief Magistrate of this Nation--Jamcs Buch-
anan. Such assaults from an open and avowed
opponent Of the Dcmt cratic party, would not
be strange but to come from man pjofe88ing
Democracy, like Judge Douglass and his tool,
Sheahan, the editor of the Times, is altogether
out Of place, and will not be looked upon with
the least degree Of allowance by the great Ma
tional Democratic party. No man has the
least claim upon the Democratic party that
will give the least continuance to such an arti
Gle as the above from the Chicago TDac9.--

Douglas, John w. Forney and their satellites
and because he Is the President IS the cause ofth,
above and all other slandcrous articles that hav
been written and said against James Buchanan

for being Democrat has had scvcrer weapons
than the Times article hurled at him, and WI
have no doubt that all such efforts as this on,
ofJudgc Douglas or his tool will be like all tn
other assaults that have been made against hin
