incongruities of this remarkable compound:
A correspondent in the Advertiser urging
the claims of Mr.. DOwdell, admits lit is well
known that they are now divided into Con-
ference Bill and Anti-Conference Bill men
into advocates. and opponents Gen. Walk
ers Nicaraguan enterprse-intO Leaguers
and anti-Leaguers-into Administration and
anti-AdminislratiOn partiZans-intO, State
r ghts Democrats and National Democrats"
The Advertiser ittelf says, mo Democrat can
defend the heresies promulgated by Mr.
Buchanan in reference to our tariff duties.
nor can he defend the Paulding outrage, nor
the Kansas settlement, nor. in fact. several
other prominent measures of this AdminlstTa-
ton" The Confederation differs with the
President about specific duties the Pacific
Railroad, and possibly one or two other
measures of even some Importance" but
supports him upon the great MEASURE Of the
.S0uth--slavery i'll the territories; the acuusi-
ton of Cuba; our foreign policy generally"
The Washington States says, 1.-The country
rejoces at the defeat of the Pacific Railroad
Protective Tariff, Military Dictatorship in
Mexico, Thirty Millien Bribery Bill. dor the
acquisition of Cuba, which the Confederation
supports,) and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Executive by the addition Of the war making
power" while the Washington Union Mr..
Buchanan's organ, is indignant because Con-
gress declined to adopt these Executive
suggestions
Judge Douglas, of Illinois, holds the doc
trine of squatter sovereignty as part OF the
Democratic creed; while Mr.. Yaucey and
other Democrats repudiate it.
Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi, demands of Con-
gress ''Slave Code. TO protect slavery in the
Territories, while Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, de-
r,unoaS ; n unonStrOuS Il, mapl in viola
ton of the plighted faith between the Democ-
racy of the South aud the Democracy of the
North, again and again, and in their legisa-
ton and in their platform
Mr.. Letchcr, the Democratic, abolition can
didaIe for Governor of Virginia. rcpudiates
Mr.. Bachanan's Cuba policy, while the Con-
federation supports it as great measure Of
the South
The Richmond Enquirer, the leading Demo-
cratic paper iii Virginia, threatens that If Mr..
Letchcr does not repudiate Mr.. Buchanan, it
will repudiate Mr.. LeIcher.
Mr.. Brown. of Mississippi wants Cuba for
the extension OF slavery. The Washington
Union wants Cuba, not because it will eX-
tend slavery; for (says the UHiOn) ii will IN

Such are only few of the many differences
of opinion now existing in the Democratic
party. 1t would be as difficult to find the
head of that party proper. as it would he to
ascertain which party is in power in Mexico.
We prefer. then, to remain where we are,
rather than To associate ourSelf with such IA
motley crew. We are opposed to this hydra
and intend to war upon ito expose Its
corruptions, extravaganza. and utter deStltu-
ton of principle. The Confederation may
sue for an arrangement 10 avoid contest IN
this district but it will b. in vain. The Id
reytiser may irvite us to the ranks of Demo-
cracy: that. two, will be in vain. The con
test is inevitable. Their sins will be laid ut
their door, and they will have to answer for
them. They may cry. " Bolts aud dark Ian
terms" but this will not satisfy the people,
whose money they have squandered and
whose government they have corrupted. Bolts
has said and done many things which we do
not endorse. but i, does not lie in the mouths
of those who are now supporting an avowed
Abolitionist for the Governor OF a Southern
State 10 condemn him. Let them first purge
themselves of their own inquiries before they
cast the first stone.
