Lincoln and the Democracy.

Mr.. Lincoln who has been nominated by the
Chicago convention as the Republican candidate
for the Presidency, is the same gentleman that ran
against Mr.. Douglas in TIE men oTable canvas in
Illinois, last year, for United States Senator. That
contest came off after Douglass quarrel with, and
estrangcment from Buchanan, aud the administra-
ton did all in its power to defeat Douglas. Not
content, in contest where his defeat would cost
them Lincolns election to stand STILL they took an
actvepart in it and used every means to secure the
triumph Of that man, whom they will now have to
denounce as Black Republican, and an enemy to
the South and to the peace of the country Demo-
cratic speakers went to Illinois to stump the State
for Lincoln, and the whole power and patronage of
the government 50 far as it could be brought to
bear, was used in his behalf Office-holders who
were known to favor Douglas were discharged, and
the gag-aw used in all its force. When opposition
papers ofthe South charged Black Republican anti
slavery sentiments upon Lincoln the democratic
press defended him as a sound trustworthy states
man. All this is on record. II was done 70 defeat
Douglas because he had the manliness or thought
it to his interest to differ with his excellency Jim
would ever be placed in position ofsuch antagon-
ism to them as the one he now occupies involves.
His principles then, were Just what they are now,
and were as well known but it suited the admins
stration and the democratic party to uphold him,
and, with that utter disregard ofprnciple and con-
sistency which naturally attaches to them, they did
uphold him. How now, we ask, can that same adj
ministration and that same democratic party tcar
against Lincoln, and denounce him as unsafe, and
unworthy of the suffrage ofthe people, with their
past course toward him on record. We can tell
you how they will do it, They will do it regard
less of the rightor wrong of t,-regardless of the
Inconsistency of it, and regardless Of what the peo
pie may think Of it, for they know that their in
telligent men, Those who can expect to reap per-
sonal advantage from democratic triumph, will
hang to the party, in the hope of public plumber
and that the poor ignorant deluded creatures, who
form the mass of the party, viii STICK to it because
they know no better. Such as we state has been
the position of the democratic party to the nominee
of the Chicago convention; and such as we have
said scW be their course hereafter They will afford
another and a striking proof of the corruption and
dupicy of that party, and of their utter disregard
of consistency, of principle, and of honesty when
the practice Of these virtues would conflict with the
attainment of their selfish ends.

Mr.. Fillmore's Position.

Rumors to the effect that Mr.. Fillmore had APP
proved, and would support the Chicago nominal
tons have lately obtained circulation, but we have
not for moment credited them, or hcsitated in our
confidence that Mr. F. would stil be found, where
he always has been,-on the side Of the Union, the
Constitution and the Enforcement of the Laws
We could not believe that the noble patriot who has
left such bright personal record in the history Of
the country by bis firm and conservative admins
tration of the government would sully that fair
fame By lending himself in the slightest degree, to
the support of any sectional party. Such course
would be contrary to all of Mr.. Fillmore patriotic
instincts well as to all his past public life and
glad to be able 10 lay before readers from
Mr.. Fillmores own hand, his hearty approval and
endorsement ofthe National Unicn party's nominal
tons. In private letter to friend, the Jersey
Gig Standard says, Mr.. Fillmore writes as fol-
lows:
off it was in my poIer would at once elect
Messrs Bell and Everett, than whom better nomin-
ations could not have been maden

EaS~ Since the noise and confusion which mme-
diately followed the Republican, nominations, has
died away, muttcrings ofdiscontent being heard
in many quarters and it is now pretty clear that
the jubilaht notes from Chicago awakened no re-
sponsive chords in the hearts of thousands of the
party. The Philadelphia Ne,0s the Albany Times,
the Troy arena, and other Republican organs
openly and loudly express their discomfort and dis
appointment at what they term, the failure Of the
Chicago Convention. The New York TimfS has
not word of praise for Lincoln, and Courier ana
Ehqirerand Albany EpenDig Journal are apologize
rather than dcmonstrativc in their tone. At all
the ratification meetings in New York, particular
ly, though there were enough Of the noisy class to
make fuss il is evident that dampcr had been
placed upon the spirits ofthe better sort Of danger
Gus party. "IIonest old Abe is the only watch
word, and is often repeated TO raise the sus-
picon that it is the best that can be said Of Lincoln
There are some, of course, who look upon him as
the embodiment of Republican wisdom hut they
who looked to Seward rs the guiding star Of the
party draw nydous comparisons between the two
and, in their disappointment, rate the former below
his true standard. Bat had Lincoln the wisdom
imputed to solomon, to US he is sectional candi-
date and as such must be deficient in those noble
and generous qualities which makeup the national
man and true patriot who l. alone worthy to pre-
sid over this great Republic.

Platforms.

The democratic papers impudertly eesail the
National Union platform because, as they say, it
takes position on any Of the great questions Of
the day. This means that II has nothing Of the
External Niger in IT, We should like for some of
these plaiormpcople 10 tell us what their platform
means. The old Cincinnati concern with which
they duped theft ignornt voters, in time past has
been condemned as Observation-Disclosures IT tor anofhl
er voyage. The leaders of the party denounced it
at Charleston as double-faced thing, got MP tobe
interpreted one way at the North, and another at
the South ;--one with which they were absolutely
ashamed to go before the people again. snd II Was
there rejected They then got up two Others, upon
Which the convention was hopelessly divided, and
after long struggle, one of them,-the one dis
tasteful 10 the South--was adopted, and thereupon
the meetn broke all to- pieces. AT this juncture
Tennessee magnanmousy came forward with a
plank that was to reconcile the discordant elements
and still the storm. They were to be the peace
makers and obtain the kingdom Of loaves and
fishes. Their plank was artfully wordcd, but like
all the Others, had a green side and dry side,-
was meant after the nomination to read two ways;
but pending its discussion the convention broke up
and agreed TO move TO Baltimore, in June. Since
then this Tennessee resolution has been pretty
thoroughly criticised and the verdict is that it is
just rotten and worthless and deceptive all the
others. Mr.. Yancey, and the Charleston Mercury
the Southern oraces, say it is a cheat and fraud
"A sample Of Northern humbuggery and Southern
gulibility; while Mr.. Douglas says he repudiates
it as dOubte.fdeed unntedning NONSENSE and Conn
ecticut delegate to Charleston says it suits him be-
cause it doesn't touch the question at issue at all
Such are the platforms of the party whose followers
sneer at Che noble creed-"THE UNION, THE CoNsTI-
TUITION, AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS"

The investigations by the Covode committee, it

government was deputcd to offer him the job and
profits of the Post Office blanks printing fine would
change his course, and return to the support of the
administration; but Forney rejected the offer, and
then broke out the bitter and unrelenting war upon
him. We have no doubt that this report is true,
and what light does it place Mr.. Buchanan in |

B{y" Horace Greedy is a strange compound Of in
toectua power on some subjects and stupidity on
others aud of honesty under some circumstances,
aud knavery under others or he is an equal mixture
of intellect and knavcry. In a speech, few days
since, he boldly declared that the nomination of
Bell and Everett is a mere sham-designed to take
votes from the Republican nominees and to secure
the success Of the democratic party. In view of all
the circumstances, no sensible can make such
declaration without casting serious imputation
upon his yemcity. The late Baltimore Convention
embodied more talent integrity, and devotion to
country than any similar body since. the formation
Of the federal Constitution; and there was not one
of the seven hundred delegates there assembled,
who is not prepared and eager by all honorable
means to defeat the democratic party. Greedy
knows this, yet with a rccklcssuess of truth, char
sctcristic of the "low-ung' deagogue, he declares
that such men rs made up the Baltimore Conven-
ton are the mere tools OF dcmocracy--br brought to-
gcther under false prctences, and for corrupt pur-
poses,
Greedy no doubt, act upon the trite saying, that
If o man will lie he may as well tell big one, and
hence the impuicuco with which he charges John
Bell and Edward Everett with regulating the in
tegry and patriotism Of long life of exalted pub
lie services and stopping to be the dccoy ducks
OF corrupt and disorgauizcd democracy, What can
they aud the delegates to the Baltimore Convention
expect at the hands of Tie democratic party? Moth
ing but Islander hcopcd mountain high, upon their
heads; and for this rtiUd5h co'mnL ration they are
raid to be playing second fiddle to their hittcrcst
royicrs-inaugumting sham 10 ensure the success
OF party whose very existence has proven a curse
to the country. BuJ Greedy, intent upon the cx
tincion of slavery, and looking upon the Republi
can party as the agent for the consummatiou Of BIZ
vile purposes, is resolved that justice, TRUTH ant
common deccncy shall mtcrpose no obstacle in hi
way, and ifa lie can help him. he las one always

Friday, June /, 1860.

E-B The Jc6Tsonian replies at some length, TO
our article of last week, of "No Chance" for the
democracy. The character Of his defense is novel
being based upon TWO mere championship one
being the possibility that the democrats may har-
monte at Baltimore and the other, that if they do
not the candidate of the Northern wing will carry
many Of the Northern States and he, Of the South
crn wing will carry the whole South--thus leaving
not vote for the Union ticket. We undertook to
show that II there was n restoration of democratic
harmony at Baltimore it must be effected by South
ern submission and with Douglas as the candidate
Should this be the case what follows7 Why that all
those in the South who have sworn that they will
not support Douglas must eat their words or Doug
Tns must loose most Of the Southern States, whilst
there is not at this moment single assurance that
he can carry one Northern State Then under the
most favorable aspect of the Casa reconciliation
at Baltimoreal the indications are that democracy
has "no chance"
But suppose two democratic candidates, does il
then follow that democracy has chance to carry
the election into the lIouse2 The Je6vsonirn seems
to think it certain but see no basis for such
expectation. Take Douglas rs the Northern
candidate, and there is not a show of evidence that
he can carry a single Northern State Take jeff
Davis as the candidate of the Boilers and as dis
unonist what are his chances to carry the whole
South? The Union democrats--a large body--will
not vote for MIN and the Douglas democrats --alarge
body-wi vote for the little giant If the Union
democrats do not vote at ALL and the Dougla domo-
Gratis do vote for their man. this division will give
Bell every Southern State; and 10 make out the
Of the JeGersoai it is absolutely necessary to
show that Douglas win get no votes in the South,
and that the Union democrats viii cote for the can
ddate Of the scceders--two suggestions directly al
war with all probability, And still farther to
strengthen views of the subject, we venture the
broad declaration that, with three purely sectional
candidates in the field, the National Union party
cannot fail unless it he demonstrated that less
Than one-fourth Of the people Of the United States
are for the Union and the country. When it comes
TO this the Confcderacy must fall TO pieces

BESy" Mr. Larabee of New York. and delegate
to the Charleston Convention, in late speech as
serted that VIM. L. Yancey declared in private con-
versation that, if Republican were elected Presi-
dent, the South would dissolve the Union. From
This fact, Mr.. Larabee argued-and plausibly too
that the split in the Charleston Convention was a
preconcered plan defeat the democratic party and
the election of Republican in order that the
fire eaters may have pretext for dissolution of
the Union. This view of the subject, we know, is
extensively held at the North by the leading demo-
Gratis, and hence the bitterness of feeling against
the boters from the democratic Convention.
Now if the northern democrats believe such to be
the purpose of the Gulf squadron, what is their
duty, under the circumstances provided they love
the Union and would preserve it? As honest
patriots and conscientious men, there is but one
open to them and that is to rally to the stand
ard of the Union party aud thereby defeat both the
Republicans and the fre-eaters. To attempt to
keep up their party organization at the North, cnn
have no other tendency than to strengthen Ropub-
licansm and bring about the very object the boilers
are striving to accomplish. This is conclusion
which can not be avoided and if Douglass be real
ly fit for the Presdency-ftted by devotion to the
Union and enlarged views of the duties of an
American statesman TO his whole country-he will
council his friends to forget party, for once and d.
rect all their energies to the defeat of the Repub-
leans on the one hand and the disunioniss, the
other-eaving hm to take his chances, in the
future, for position for which he will prove his
fitness by such wise and unselfish course.
And if the inference drawn by Mr.. Larabee be
the true one, is it not equally clear that the Union
loving democrats of the South are bound, by the
same considerations to forget party and come to the
rescue of their country from the impending danger!
Divided, as that party now is, success is hopeless
and the attempt to succeed can be followed by nc
other result than an increased chance for n Repul
lican triumph and the consequent consummation o.
the reasonable purpose of Yancey and his follow.
Grs These are no idle suggestions thrown out tC
mislead any one, but grave deductions from known
facts furnished by leading democrats in the North
and proven by the action of fre-eating democrats
in the South. Every movement of the two section
al parties points to the startling fact that the batt'
Cor the Union is about to be fought, and no lover o.
his country will now suffer party distinctions Il
seperate him from those gallant patriots who have
the enforcement of the Laws.

ESy" Our neighbor of the JeferSonian is evidently
on the side of the Baltimore Convention and against
Richmond. lie disapproves the course of the Sc
ceders at Charleston and thinks they "hadn't ought
to a done it." Our neighbor all along, for two or
three years, has been mighty fierce talker about
Southern rights and Northern aggression and been
loud counsellor against any further submission on
our part, and abused admirably all Southern men
who did not vote on all questions with the Southern
interest Now, however, he comes out against that
body of men who left the Charleston Convention
because they said that the Northern majority had
imposed upon them conditions and platform that
it would be dishonorable in them MS Southern men,
to submit to. South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama,
Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas
subscribed to, and joined in this action; and any
one to have read our neighbours fierce Southern ar
ticles during the .past year, would have thought
that he would have been first and most ardent de-
fender of their course But no; he cody kicks all
his Southern States-rghts editorials to the four
winds, and has his political baggage "checked
through" to Baltimore and leaves the seceders to
weep for him, as Niobc for her frst-born and best
loved In all this we, of course, see precious little
of consistency, but great deal of that safer and
more profitable yirtue-judgment. In our neighbor'
past talk about States-rights, Southern ultmatums
Northern aggression, opposition submission demo-
cratic backbone, blood, mud and thunder, there was
nothing at all at stake-nothng to lose-for it was
all tllk and was got up to scare timid, weakened

But in the Charleston the thing is very differ

interests hung post-oflices consulships, army con-
