The Exoaus - Northern Dem ecrats
Hrn> nnmwRuan.

The ExoAus - Northern Democrats
fron Usngrsss.
Gradually but steadily and inevitably ~
fate, the Democratic representatives from
the North are disappearing from the halls Of
Congress. Every year witnesses dininu-
ton Of their ranks. From an overwhelming
body, they have bssn reduced to more hand
ful. a. insignidoant in personal influence and
character - they are in numbers. In great
States with . numerous population, like New
York and Pennsylvania, it requires tho inter-
ference Of Government by unlawful and cor
rups intrigues, the employment OF public
money and the judicious disposition of the
soldiers, marines and employees Of the army
and navy, to procure the return Of Demo-
cratic representatives. And when, BY inesse
and fraud, thsy worm their way into the halls
of Congress, they are recognised a. repre-
senting merely the lingering force OF de-
caying and well-nigh extinct organisations
and not the living sentiment Of the people,
Like Florence and Sickles they are returned BY
frauds upon the ballot-box, or like Brigh:
and Fitch by corrupt intrigue and unlawful
legislative maneuvers. On the 4th OF March,
the last Democratic Senator from New Eng
land departed from the capital Of the nation,
and the six States east Of the Hudson have
now not ono solitary Democrat in either
house Of Congress. With every annual ses-
sion Of Legislatures in the middle and west
ern States, greater or less number Of DEM
ocratic Senators have been thrown upon the
bounty Of the Executive, until they are 50 re-
duced that the remnant remaining viii prove
but small burden upon his charity; and
every biennial opportunity that the people
have OF reaching their immediate representa-
tives, witnesses fresh influx Of Republican
strength and spirit into the popular house.
And no glesm Of consolation, no harbinger
of q more prosperous future appears to
strengthen and encourage the dropping Dem
ocracy. The power that they lose, they lose
forever. The ground lost in the representa-
tive chambers il not to be regained. And
the system Of bribery and intrigue and oor-
ruption, without tho active employment Of
which the Democracy would have scarcely .
representative to-day, cannot long be per-
petuated. Executive influence, the intrigues
Of ambitious men, the schemes of public
plunderers and the combinations Of oligarchs
and aristobrats cannot, when things have
reached this point, long prevent the triumph
Of the people.

The Legislature of Kansas, at its last ses-
sion, passed joint resolution by an unani-
nous vote asking the President to postpone
the land sales in that Territory for one year.
Mr.. Buchanan repliC s to the entreaty of these
settlers, struggling against season of low
prices and disaster, by proclamation put
ting five millions of acres of Kansas land in
market As yet he has deigned no other
answer. But, in extenuaton, i: NAV be ur-
ged that those Kansas men are nothing but
Black Republicans, and that, in these Demo
cratic days, they have nc rights which Demo
Gratis are bound to respect. This must be
the only excuse ; because, as every acre sold
will be paid for in land warrants, the wants
of the Treasury have no bearing on the case.
