The Prospects.

so potent, has lost its efficacy, ana the people
begin to find that principles are something
better than organization, and that there is
such thing as wearing out mems patience
with an everlasting system of political cor
ruption which appeals to "discipline' and
Organization" to sustain it. They begin to
feel that patriotism, purity of public conduct,
an economical administration of government,
are of more value than the mere matter of
organization Blast disciplined Blast orga-
nization, they say, when it comes to lettering
the free understandings of men, and making
them the mere slaves of infamous and cor
rupt party leaders.
The Douglas banner, at the last election,
was raised at too early day to rally the true
strength of the Douglas party around it,
The issues had not been sufficiently canvassed;
the breadth and depth of infamy, over which
the Administration of james Buchanan had
spread itself and into which it had sunk, had
not been quite fully realized the public
mind could not be convinced in a moment
that such gulfs of degradation could be sound
ed by the President of their choice But the
people are now undeceived-they have had
time to read, think and deiberate-thev
knoO that Mr.. Buchanan's Administration
has been the most wicked as we'll as the most
imbecile administration that ever afflicted q
free country, and they are resolved to pro-
nounce upon it that sentence which they
would long ago have pronounced, had they
been truly aroused to the enormity of its Of
fences. Had this Administration attacked any
particular class or ealing among the people ;
aimed its blows at any branch of the arts or
manufactures, or of any species of business, it
might have been submitted to, though gruml-
lingly; but when it comes to striking, with
one sweeping blow, at the very root Of Liberty
aiming at the destruction of the very right
of selfgovernment itself-inaugurating an
era of monarchical dictGtion to the soveregns
of this free land, from the would-be throne of
the Executive Chair, it is time for men to
arouse themselves and assert the manhood
that is in them. If, for the sake of "disci-
pline' and Organization" Lecompton "disci-
Pline" and Organization" they are to surren-
der these fundamental rights of American
freemen, it is time that a Monarchy or q des-
potism were established upon the ruins of the
Republic.
The Administration lick spittles talk about
"the fusion Of the opposition parties" against
| the imperial WHITE NECK TIE that presides
over the country. They imagine that grand
arrangement is to be made in which so many
candidates of the Douglas ticket and so many
| of the Republican, are to be taken up and
formed into one ticket, and, with a great
flourish of trumpets, promulgated as the tick
ct for the enemies of the Administration to
support. Silly snipes Do they not know
that no arrangements which can be made by
party leaders can bind or control the aroused
masses Of the people of this State, at june
ture like this Do they not know that the
people will burst all bonds of party TO hurl
their Indignation at the head of the present
Administration, and sink its trembling myr-
midons beneath the waves of their wrath and
fury? They need no fusion; they need no
preconcerted arrangements. They need only
to exercise their own sound sense and discl e.
ton; vote for the men most likely to defeat
the Administration, and aim their ballots
where they will tell the strongest against the
dictatorial crew who would like still to make
them the "hewers of wood and drawers of
water" to themselves. Be assured, the enc
mics of this most worthily detested Admins
tration are not going to hrow d,0dy their Uotes
They will put them where they will be felt.
What care they for polling stronger vote
for this party or for that party, just merely
for the pleasure of seeing what the count will
be-so many thousands were received for the
Douglas party, so many thousands for the
Re- ublican? They want to bring this inh-
nous Buchanan Administration to its knees !
They wish to show it that the people are the
rulers in this government, and that he who
sets himself up to declare that the sovereign
voice of free-born American citizens shall be
stifed for the purposes of his own selfish and
narrow expediency, is as chaff in the wind, a
leaf in the storm, before the awakened wrath
of freemen Without pre- concert therefore
without fusion. without any flourish of trum
pets, in contempt of all dictation, intelligent
upright, honest, true men, who are opposed
to this Administration, will walk peaceably
up to the polls on the day of election and
vote just such a ticket as they are satisfied
will carry the greatest strength, throughout
the State. against the common enemy. Like
streams of different sources, they will con
centrate into one grand and sweeping cur
rent that will PROSTATE all before it. We
have no fears of the people. We believe the
vast majority of them will vote the Douglas
ticket-many for the love that they bear the
name of Douglas and the true principles o.
Democracy, and others for the hate that they
justly and nationally entertain for the reign
ing Presidential tyrant and his army of lesser
would be despots.
