WWhen the weakness and the wickedness
80 hoI a.,
in Kansas and distracted the whole country, the
politicians Of the Democratic school presented
the name of Mr.. Buchanan as the man who would
settle the Kansas trouble, restore harmony and
bring back the halcyon days of the earlier Presi-
dents? The result is before the country. Mr..
Buchanan's has been notoriously and undeniably
the worst-the most corupt-the most shame
lessly corrupt and abominably dishonest admin
istration ever seen in this country. The same
politicians who nominated Pierce-who after
wards gave US Buchanan-now come forward
and present in this section the name Of Mr..
Douglas. And to avoid the infamy Of their own
acts-to escape the universal condemnation Of
their plunderings and stealings rs recently ex-
poscd--of their corrupt army and navy and
printing contracts--of their frauds upon the bal
lot box and upon elections-to escape the infamy
which justly attaches to Democratic rule during
the last seven years, now attempt to place them
selves in an antagonistic position toward the
administration, as they did four years ago. The
Democratic party is justly responsible, and will
be held responsible for all this, and Mr.. Douglas
and his friends cannot escape. MIR. Douglas is
more guilty to-day for the sectional strife upon
the slavery question than any other man in the
| country.

the Democratic party.
We shall never be able to give full history
ofthe six days agony Of the party preceding its
dissolution at Baltimore. Nothing like it was
ever seen or heard. Such fighting, such swear
