NEW ENGLAND 4 UNIT. :.
Every member Of Congress, and every. Sem
ator from tic six New England States is a
Republican In the councils Of the nation,
Now England is unit. Every voto which
she hereafter gives viii be in behalf Of tho
cause Of Freedom and in opposition to the
S!aveocracy By which tho Republic is ruled.
The testimony borue by New England in "a
vor Of the Republican cause should not be
lightly considered Say what men may
scvile Yankeedom as they wi1l-Ncw England
is the homo Of Democracy on this Continent.
Tho stars and stripes do not float over any
other sir States in which the blessings Of polit-
1cai equality arc so brought to every mans
door Us in New England Nowhere do man,
uch md poor, f}nd justice so easy as in New.
England. Nowhere arc Life and property 80
safe no where are taxes 80 Light and govern
nent SO regular aud SO just; nowhere is in
7elligenoe SO Iwidely didused; nowhere are
opinion md action more unrestricted; no
where in all the world have Christianity and
Democracy done SO much for the human race
as III New England Blot her out to day and
the Republic would be set back an immeasur-
able distance on tue scale of true civilization,
She has nasal rwang; her Sons carry econo-
my to the brink Of parsimony, and industry
some times seems to be but a single remove
from Slavery; she puts no fetters on tho hu-
man intellect, hence her reformes sometimes
run mad; her prejudicos are often intense and
hard to overcome, and her selEloye never
fails to appear; her religion sometimes ap-
proaches formalism and cant; and her phian-
thropy large and generous, is not unfroqucnt1y
seen cropping its way bindolded, to DoroIoola
Cha when it might be employed at home. But
IN spite Of these, New England is that portion
Of the Union, to which, when we would Illus
zJate the blessings which Freedom may bestow,
and the miracles which Christianity has
wrought, We should most confidently point
New England is the nations conscience, as the
West is its heart That the present rnanim-
ity Of her States, at time when the con-
test in the nation between the real Democracy,
on the one hand, and 0ligarchy on the other,
involves, not question Of policy, merely, but
one Of C}lristian morals and Christian ciyiliza-
ton, has no significance, no man can believe.
It has meaning which no Northern State out
side Of New England can afford to overlook
Those who have been and are Jet ready to ac-
cept the Puritan and Democratic development,
Of which Massachusetts, is the type, in matters
Of education, Of morals, Of socinl science and
Of political economy, as1he nearest approach
able standard Of right will not be slow to as
Eist in making all the North the imitator Of the
noble example which New England has setF
DETECTION OF 4 DOUGLAS ORGAN.
Tie Madison (Wisconsin) Argus, chief or
gan Of the Democracy Of that State, and for-
merly an uncompromising Douglas Journal has
whipt around into the support Of tho Adlninis-
tration. To what particular fact this sudden
change is owing, we arc not able at this dis
tance to determine; but if we may judge from
the zeal with which it comes to the rescue Of
its new political associates, and the hcartiness
with which it denounces its former friends, the
rcasen is at least satisfactory to its conductors.
The -iryus assumes that Mr.. Douglas is re-
sponslble for oil the rcverscs that have bcGalcn
the Democracy since ls56-that he has fac
tiously broken down the Administration Of alr.
Buchanan, as we'll as paved the way for Re-
publican triumph in the national contest Of
1860. For the future the argus arrows it's
fixed purpose Of standing hy the ancient land
marks Of the Democracy, and thinks it can
never again be seduecd into following Off q
new light from the true Democratic fuld, It's
frst and greatest desire is the publication Of
the party iu Wisconsin. In its opinion tlis is
essential to slscccss hereafter. 1t also holds
tlr1t this object will be accomplished by tur,1-
1hg the Douglasites, neck and hccls, ont Of the
party They arc the mel, according 10 the
argus. wlo have stepped themselves in ini9ui-
ty, whose pockets lavo been distcnded with
corruption bonds, aud WHO arc tic 20
litical .Jonals that are sinking tle
Democratic ship beneath the waves Of popular
oaum, II they cannot he forced outside tile
Democratic organization they must at least be
co'1trnt with fighting hereafter III the capacity
q high l'rivates, they must be degraded from
The leadership. Says the -drgus:
''onc thing is sure Tie honif,nen aud cor
s"Ffsohisfs ut 1s5j mu*t Mand aside 7Itst is
40 TotsN for them trrtpk hack xsat in tht rear
sur. They had better not set up as advisers
they must not set up us dictAiors.' 4<manY d
71tm dx tsta possibly stay at home had htes .fdH
<Eeh to aEYtdr in the to''ics Of the nert Stat
Convention. The investigating report is too
formidable IN adversary to bc met. Quotations
from it are fatal"
This rule will sweep into obscurity nearly
ali the great lights Of Democracy i'll Wiscou-
sin. 1t colsigns to |'tllc back seat Of tile
rear car" the Darstows, the Stroncs, the
Hales, the Sharpstoins, the McArthurs, tho
Sanders, and nearly all the party leaders
in tile State, including tile principle men
on the State Central Committee. As these
men have tho organization in their hands,
s: is not likely they will willingly obey
the order which degradcs them from the COM
mand to the lowest position iu the ranks.
The fight promises to he All interesting one,
and may rival III its effects upon the two fac
Tons, the famous Kilkenny affair:
LOUISIANA.
There is rebellion in Louisiana against tho
:nthor Of the Plaqueminc frauds The Slave-
ocracy Of tl,at State who hive endured III their
organization the practices which Mr.. slidcll
has hcen in the habit Of 1,layiuc upon tho
opposition, arc up in arms against his donina-
7o''- The cheating, rufianisn,, and corruption
which have kept down his political enemies,
have been extensively rcsortcd to for the CON
troll Of lis political friends--so nluyll SO that
they are goaded into rebellion, and where
lutcly, as i'll Illinois, there was a compact and
1snconqnerablc party, there are two factions
:rraycd in deadly hostility against each other
