ion. 1t would also appear that Mr.. Douglas is
in the way Of forgiveness, and that even that ter
rible Zouave of politicians, Governor Wise, is
disposed to bury the Ratchet and smoke the pipe
of peace with the President, upon the first invita-
ton, and without chatiering about the terms OF
| treaty Of peace.
PROFESSIONALLY as the time approaches for
closing up the lines of the party for the momeu-
tous Presidential contest of 1860, the late fac
tious, rebelious and disaHected aspirants, mana
gers, cliques and organs Of the democracy, North
and South, are beginning to discover their true
position; they begin to realize the extent of
their folly, the extent of their weakness, and the
utter impossblity OF shulling of the administra-
ton without sacrificing the party. Nay, more,
they are beginning to discover, that while the
party has been torn to pieces by the conflicting
ntrigues and clques of its leaders, and has thus
| become weaker and weaker, the administration
| is much stronger to-day than on the day of its
| Inauguration. We cay much stronger; and not
| only In the confidence of the independent body
| of the people, but much stronger as the head of
| the democratic party.
For example, who could have believed, in June
1857, that in June, 1859, the Kansas imbrogio aud
agitation would be so completely extingushed
| that scarcely anything more would be heard of
| it than Of the rebellion in China Yet so it is;
| and while the democratic rebels and agitators of
1.-The Lecompton infamy" and "the English swim
dle"-Walker, Douglas, Wise, Forney and all
concerned-have good reason to feel ashamed of
their folly, the administration may justly appeal
to the GROWING results of its Kansas policy as
affording the best proofs in behalf OF the saga
city and frmness of Mr.. Buchanan. And so In

what it has done with what it has aimed to do.

nestle and foreign affairs, for the future, marked
out by the careful, experienced and patriotic
statesman at the head of the government.
1t is not surprising therefore, that the late
high reaching and impatient rebels against the
administration, after feeding upon their revenges
and disappointments reasonable time, should
be recalled to their sober senses in reference to
their own safety and the safety of their party.
The question very naturally recurs to them Can
we get on without the administration? And with
the discovery that they cannot, they are disposed
to return to its guidance and support. Since
the time of Gen. Jackson the incumbent of the
White House has had little or no influence in the
nomination of bis successor as the party can
didate Van Buren, was set aside in 1910 with
decided majority of the Convention elected ex-
pressly to renominate him; Tyler's efforts for
second term were simply ridiculous Polk,
whose administration was marked by the Next
can war and the acquisition of an empire, in.
GLIDING California, was completely ignored in
the Baltimore Convention of 1s4S; Fillmore was
set aside in 1852 to make way for General Scott
and poor Pierce at the Cincinnati Convention,

tude of Office holders and the fathlessness of our
scurvy politicians.

minority party from combination of lucky cir

WILSON'S, and party rebcllions and conspiracies
without parallel in our political history, taken
all together, we find, after two years conflict
with the enemies of his administration, not
only the undisputed master of his position, but
the arbiter of his party for the succession. He
has silenced the batteries Of the opposition, and
has reduced, or is reducing, the most violent
rebels of his party camp TO submission-and all
from the moral power which bis honest, firm and
patriotic course has given him. The cases of
Van Buren,, Tyler Polk, Fillmore and Pierce
show that the spoils are drawback, instead of
an advantage, where the responsible agent ex-
poets from them lit for another term But in the
moral power of Mr.. Buchanan's administration
it is manifest that he is stronger than his party;
and this, with the fact that he is not, and will
not be, candidate for a second term is silently
but steadily operating to make him the master
of the Charleston Convention.
