D,sruptisu Of the Republican PARTY.

upon the fatal rock of the "spoils "a d.
vision Of the Offices: the same rock which
split the Wing Party, when Harrison took
the Presidential chair; the same rock which
split the democratic party Under Buchanan;
and the same rock which spill. the Union,
beginning with The contest at Charleston,
between the friends Of Douglas on the one
hand, and his opponents in the same fanl-

Der Of their days in Office, and the entire
array Of democratic Office. seekers saw their
hopes blasted: the democratic, was party

Office died not with the disbandlng of their
party, but prompted the formation Of new

men are swarming and buzzing, like flies
in summer, about the dead carcass. To
get al Ills carcass, is the CENTRAL IDEA Of
the leading disunionists now in the border
slave States.
But, we set out to speak Of the disrup-
ton of the Republican Party-and we re-
cord the evidences OF this disruption with
great pleasure. A serious breach, which
has not yet come fully to light, was created
in the formation of the Cabinet; another in
the foreign appointments; Lincoln's Inaug
ural is net up to the standard of the aboli
tion fanatics, though like the fire eaters of
the South, they found great comfort in his
declaration about possessing and holding
the FORTS" and SO forth; Lincoln does not
"coerce" the seeding States, (and will not
attempt to) and aboiiiion-dO thinks him
tame; he will not undertake 10 collect the
revenue on the sea, in the South, and the
s'hlb" fanatics will rave; in short, it being
impossible to give all who voted for him
an Office, and impracticable to carry on this
great government on the sing lie idea Of op-
position 10 negro slavery. the negro-wor-
shippers will soon be in full howl about the
betrayal of their "righ,s."
To come closer home, and give the read :
er a strong premOnitory symptom, we copy
the following from tie St. Louis Democrat:
We learn that the Minister 10 Sardinia,
Geo. p. Marsh, is q skilled diplOmatisf,
linguist and philologist. He has been out
of public life .iotne years. but in the time
and reign Of Whiegery. his name wa, high
in the catalogue OF the chosen and elect
II is said that be is not Republican. and,
if this be SO. we must conclude that Mr..
Lincoln and Mr.. Seward have lingering
affection for their old brothers in arms. II
would not, we think, mar the ensemble of
the diplomatic appointments, if among them
were found some Two or three gentlemen of
Democratic antecedents. Mr.. Seward, es-
pecialy, should Try 10 take away The re.
prosch that his Department is nothing but
a resusoiiation of Whiggery. We say this
without any disparagement Of Mr.. Marsh,
who, by all accounts, has the very highest
intellectual qualifications for representing
his country abroad.
Carl Schurz, il is stated, has accepted
the mission to Lisbon; The soldier should
not decline the post 10 which his superiors
appoint him; but it seems TO us that Mr..
Schurz would do better for himself BY con-
tinuing to practice his profession in Wis
consin, than by going to Pc riugal. At
this period Of his life, man Of his order
Of mind should prefer manly toll 10 lotus
eating. However, We do no, pretend TO
understand him very fully, or to affirm
very positively tina, his mind is of the or
der in which it has been ranked. After
all. he may be a devoiee of the Garden
Philosophy, in which case he will find Por-
tugal pleasant country in which TO sojonrn.
Geo. p. Marsh, gentleman and schalar,
a patriot, having "the very highest qualifi.
cations for representing his country
abroad" is black balled, because he is not
. Republican-and Lincoln and Seward,
(ths editor thought Bates, though be did
not write IT'D are accused Of holding in too
kind remembrance their old whig brethren,
to the exclusion of Republicanized demo.
Gratis and Republicans pure!
And then poor Sohurz! What a glorious
fellow he was, when, in the canvass, he
travelled and spoke from Maine TO Missou-
ri, teaching Republicsnism Of the boldest
type. He was o good worker, but being
Dutchmsn, il was right for him to draw
the water, but not proper for him TO drink
it! He should go back 10 his profession, to
manly toll, and let some effeminate aboli.
Zionist of the Greedy or Phillips school, in
dulgs in lotus-sating, in the genial olims Of
Portugal!
