Among the rapidly ripening fruits of tie
policy of Mr.. President Buchanan, that of
disunion is prominent. To threaten dis.
finion; to look to it as refuge from insg-
mary evils; to embrace it as glorious
alternative before the election of North
ern President. are the familiar utterances
| of many of the Administration leaders in
Washington. They constitute the luxuri-
ant crop that grows upon the grave of the
Kansas policy of the President. h
These disunion and secession influences
having bullied the president into betrsy-
al of his pledges. then into crusade upon
all who would not cry hossnnss to this be-
trayal, have resolved to take a number Of
steps in advance. They have gradually
compelled the Administration organiza-
tions in the North 10 indorse their earlier
proceedings, and are now boldly preparing.
with the assistance Of the General Admin
istratiou. to assume possession of the
Charleston Convention, and to turn that
Convention into a mere auction room.
where the honor of the Democratic party,
and all its fame as national brotherhood,
will be knocked down to whomsoever will
bid highest for the votes of the extreme men
of the South. To effect this object. the
disunionists first declare they will not sup
port any man representing the principles
Asssrea by-Seh2tor Douglas. and next that
no man can be regarded as a Democrat
who is not against these principles, and.

protection of slavery in the Territories,
and a slave code in the Territories them.

anybody denonncihg these gentlemen?-=
Does the Washington 0niea, for instance
attack Mr.. Iverson. Mr.. Davis, or Mr..
Barksdale for their recent declsrations?--
Not one word appears in that court organ
against them or their doctrines. On the
contrary, columns have been written
in approval of the new theory of pro-
tectlng slavery in the Territory. il not
directly in support of the slave code ITSELF
Long ago-long before Jefferson Davis
spoke at jackson, Mississippi-the Cinibn,
had an editorial article, in which the SOW
eEeignty and sanctiry of slavery were set
forth, and strong intimation given that
it might be carried even into the free States
themselves.
But let a Democrat from the North or
the Northwest talk about conditions prs.

the Charleston Convention, and the whole
pack is let loose upon him. If he asks
that convention to nominate q man like
Stephen A. Douglas; Il he pleads for the
great doctrine of Popular Sovereignty: il
he holds up the promises Of our candidate
and our party in 1856. he is denounced a.
