The Democratic Party Of the Free
States as Described by fhe Rich

States as Described by The &&1ch~
Snond Enquirer
We copy the following from the Enquirer,
not so much from its novelty as because it SO
aptly corroborates what we have often affirmed
of the Democratic party of the North, mere
parasite upon the body polite, subsisting upon
the spoils of the general government, hostile
to the people of their own States and bribed
TO betray them:
Look at some of the instances at the
North, where the Democracy have 50 long re-
manned minority. They are powerlcss to &C.

! opinion of the communities in which they re

Ricu,tcaD Esou1RER ON DoUaLas--The
old Richmond Enquirer is set as ever against
Douglas and his Squatter Sovereignty. 1t
wan,a nothing Of the former and will have
none Of the latter, and thus closes recent ar
ticle:
The friends of Mr.. Douglas, by persisting
10 their demands, must bring defeat upon the
party. II they should be successful at Balti-
more, the party will be defeated at the polls
1t is insulting to the Southern people to sup
pose that fears of Black Republicanism will
induce them to support platform which they
opposed on principle. Let the consequences
Be evex 20 disastrous to the Federal Union,

sqastter sovereignty,

ton Of the South proceeds from Black Repnb
hean Congressional destruction or Squattel

TEE PROBABLE REsULT.-We take the fol-
lowing paragraph as to the probable result of
the pending Presidential contest from an ar
ticle in the Cincinnati Gazette:
"From present appearances, the Presiden-
tiai problem is reduced to this single alterna-
ses Either Abraham Lincoln or Joseph
Lane will be the next President of the United
States. If an election is had by the people,
the men elect will be Lincoln and Hamlin.-
Any other event than this, we repeat, is
scarcely possible. Should our candidates be
defeated, however, the election of President
goes into tM House, where, it is demonstrated
no oue can get majority of all the States
The election Of Vice President goes to the
Senate, with only the ttoo highest candidates
TO choose from. These must be Harnlin and
Lane. The latter would of course succeed
constituted as the Senate now is. The House
failing TO elect President before the 4th Of
March, the Vice President, according to the
provisions Of the Constltutinn, will be inaugu.
rated as President. This is the Southern pro-
gramme, their only hope being iE the proven
tion Of an election by the people, and in cho
sing Lane by the process We have explainMh

Mr.. HrSDMAN, one of the Representatives

The remarkable tenacity with which the
Douglas delegates stuck to their favoriie from
first TO last proof alike against Establishments
and threats, is accounted for by the fact that
they had too much invested in the concern to
permit any rival candidate 10 triumph. Most
of them have been laboring fer his nominl-
ton for years, espcnding large Sums Of money
and consuming vast deal of time-the ex-
pense of their trip to Charleston averaging
probably five hundred dollars each, with the
addition of another large sum in going to Bal
timore and spending a week there. Douglas
is the only man who can or will pay them
and could he be elected would doubtless liqui-
date his obligations TO them in the dstribu-
ton of Offices. But the opportunity to do So
will never arrive. He is emphatically a
dead cock in the pit" and Of this fact none
are better aware than those who placed him
in his present position. They we'll knew that
their drafts would not be honored by any 9TH
er Democrat who might be selected, and hence,
in order that their enemies might not secure
the places they themselves desired, determined
to so act as to place the election of Lincoln be-
yond ques ton or contingency.

Congress adjourned, pursuant to resolution
to that effect previously passed, on Monday

rather than realize it by increasing the revenue
from imports by remodeling the tariff, the OBJ

that it might inure to the benefit of the indus
