The arguments on which the Deihoc,
racy intend TO rely in the Presidential
campaign Of 1860, are being rapidly de-
veloped. = The first 10 imPortance' and ~
ia it's anticipated effect, is the threat @
dissolve the Union, ii the !'emoeratie
nominee is not elected. take the gov
cruuent from our CONTROL" say they,
"with its patronage and influence, and
that very hour we dissolve the Union;
eject our man, give us all the federal Of
fees, the foreign appointments snd the
collection aud disbursement OF the fed
revenue, and the Union may stand, 4r
The next argument consists OF threats
Of nopintercourse. '.We will neither

3D." This argument it is expected Will
carry over tho Northeras merchants in a
BODY to the Democratic party
The next argument lisa rigid exclusion
Of all ministers, teachers, and pedlars
from the slaveholdins States, and the
arrest of every Northern man who may
find it necessary to travel South, on the
suspicion that he belongs to one or the
other of these classes. Another argument
is the making of every postmaster IN
the United States censor OF the press,
as wei! IS of private correspondence
passing through the mails, with unllmit-
ed power to suppress, and destroy what
ever paper, book or private letter ne may
consider of incendiary character-ln
other words, opposed to Democracy.
Another argument is the assumption
that all the personal liberty bills, Aaceas
,.,,7,us and mandamus laws of the free
States, are so many infringments upon
the rights of shareholders, fer whose es-
pccial benefit the Democratic organiza-
ton is maintained, and that if all these
laws are not immediately repealed in the
free States, either the Union shall be
dissolved or the chivalry will march
North aud enforce their rights.
Kindred to the above is the assunp-
ton. that every citizen of the free States
is bound by the Constitution and laws OF
the country to become slave; catcher,
and that unless they discharge the obi
CATION at all times, cheerfully and with
,acrity, the Union shall be dissolved.
Ii may be said that these arguments

nocracr. Admit it. But how do the
