WHOLE NUMBER, l4O.
Loak 70 tha Senate.

Ths following from the Cleveland
Plaindesler, one of the most influential
Democratic papers in the Northern States,
shows how the Northern Democracy re-
gard the ultra sectional construction Of
the Senate Committees. We can't
blame it for feeling sore, but It has so long
aided in foisting upon the country the
most intensity sectional party that ever
existed, that it ought now, in shame.
hold its peace. We have no hopes that
even this energetic warning win have any
weight with the trsacherously ssctonial
Democracy Of the Soath. who seem deter
mined to intrude their handicapped sec
tionalism upon the politics Of the coun.
try until they will not have an ally north
of Mason aud Dickson's line:
The telegraph announces the follow.
ing committees in the Senate Mr.. Ma
son remains as chairman of the Commit.
tee on Foreign Affairs Mr.. Clay do. on
Commerce Mr. Yulee do on Postof-
fee; Mr., Green do on Territories; Mr..
Mallory do. on Naval Affairs Mr.. Bay.
ard do. on the Judiciary. and Mr.. Brown
do. on the District Of Columbia.
These constitute all the important COM
mittees Of that body. enough to control
the entire legislation Of the country. and
it will be seen that the South kGvs got
them all. So far as the organization Of
that body is concerned there is "no North,
no Eat, no West % II is all South,
SoUTH, SOUTH! Sectionalizsd, the
committees stand thus:
Foreign Afairs-Mason. OF Va. South.
Commercially, Of Ala. South.
Postoffice-Yulee, of Fla. South.
Territories-Green, of No. South.
Naval Affairs-Mallory, Of Fla. South.
Judiciary-Bayard of Del. South.
Dist Columbia-Brown, of Miss. South.
This makes q pretty showing up to the
country of Southern clsnishness and Sec
tionalism. By cottonizing and sugarising
together in Congress and Convention.
the South. by 8 unity Of action, melted
by unity of interests, have so far con-
trolled Presidents and party issues, as to
put the Democracy of the North. East
and West in false positions before the
people. The result has been to drive
the Democrats from the free States out Of
Congress, not being able to stand on
Southern platforms and cope with Nor
thern Opposition. Every turn Of the
Southern thumbscrews upon the Northern
Democracy has decimated their numbers.
until now, so far as the Democratic party
is concerned, the South have undisputed
control in both branches Of Congress.
In inveigling Old Buck into his L.
compton policy. the South would have
blotted out the Democratic party North,
but for the powerful and timely iuterfsr-
ence Of Senator Douglas. As il was, il
made a slaughter-house Of the free States,
carrying every one Of them over to the
enemy, save one, and that one was where
the defiant leader Of the Northern De
mocracy resided, and carried on the cam
paign in person against Buchanan. Black,
ard the Black Republicans-alias the
World, the Flesh and the Devil.
1t tore down a towering Democratic
majority in the House, it has nearly OBJ
liberated the Democratic majority in the
Senate. majority that stood triumphant
ly against all opposition for near 6ty
years. Lecompton sent Senator Jones,
Senator Wright, Senator Shields and
Senator Pugh into retirement, aud sub.
stituted Black Republicans in their
places. 1t will soon end the days Of
Senators Bigler. Bright and Fitch and
leave Douglas the last Democratic Sens
tor in that body from all the free States,
"the sole survivor of his race" No new
Democratic Senator can ever be elected
from any free State who in any way en.
dorsed that fatal measure. Douglas il tho
last commissioned on the list, and y the
present Southern dynasty is to be perpetu-
ated. in "a he will be the only Democratic
Senator rspTssenting any portion Of dis
great Confedsracy North Of Mason and
Dizon's line. At present the South have
the President, Vice President and Cab.
net Does any one doubt that? The
South have q majority Of the Supreme
Court. Does any one deny this : By
their late action in the Senate they have
control of our Foreign Relations, our
Commerce, the Post Office Department,
Territories, Naval Affairs. the Judiciary.
&c. And still the same South are threat.
