1t Is almost amusing, or would be if IT were
not 50 apt to excite contempt, to notice the in
consistencies and perfect contradictions of our
Democratic friends in their efforts to coniure
some reason for condemniug the acts of he Re-
publican party. A few weeks ago, just before
the Inauguration Of the present administration,
the writers and speakers Of the Northern De-
mocracy could not End words to express their
horror Of the Republicans who claimed that the
Federal laws ought to be executed, and that the
Government property ought to be held and pro
footed. A policy Of mastery inactivity for
weeks governed the late Administration, while
the seeding States were Strengthening them

forts, batteries, &c, in short doing all that
could be done, TO put himselfin position to take
either the defensive or offensive in civil war,
which he can inougnrate al any time. When
ever Republicans have demonstrated against
such supmeness, they have been met by per-
iect shower of inycctiye from the entire North

takes the lead in this twosiied warfare
comments in this wise upon the appointment O
