engagements among mankind gener-

and hcartburnpgs around the family
hearth stone ordinations and secr'mi-
nations among those who should be
bound together by the strongest ties
imaginable are dreadful to contemplate.
Below We give two extracts which 60
a good ways 10 show the rlsi'g dlssat
isiac,ion among the leaders Of the Re-
publican party with tie present admin
istration and the acts Of the Republican
Congress.
II was announced photograph lew

We have heard from him. lie speaks
to his constituents through bis paper,
the Burlington Hawkeye, in the follow
ing PLAIN and unmstaksble language.
Let Senator Grimes be heard:
The do-nothing c urse Of the Admin
istratlon is bearing its legitimate fruits
in the feat Of the Republican party
in Rhode Island, which is complete and
overwhelming. That party is evidently
losing ground rapidly IN the North.
Ardent, active Republicans are d'sP'r-
tied. They have no longer anything to
fight Tor. They have fought for prlnci
pies and see tho principles trampled
upon by the men they elected in No
vember. The Republican party cannot
bear the strain which the old Demo
cratic parry did. 1t was rallied upon
principle, fought for principle, and when
the Administration which it elected
fails to stand by the measures and ideas
upon which the party was organized,
the party must either cease to exist or
rally around their old platform under
new leaders, and against Mr.. Lincoln
people had SO great confidence up to the
Alb Of March last. The Democratic
party existed for years after It had ceased
to represent single idea or principle.
But It had the prestige Of years Of exist
ence. 1t had governed the country
through many years and had the mem
DRY OF it's great leaders. 1t was com
posed Of very different elements. It's
rank aud file depended upon leaders

managed through their prejudices, be-
lieviug that the party could do no wrong
The Republican element cannot be SO
managed.
But the defeat of the Republicans in
the North is not the worst result Of the
continuance Of the Buchanan policy.

We shall soon be ready to appoint an
administrator and divide the effects

We do not say that firm and decided
course would have saved us. But il
any thing could have done it rally for
the Constitution aud Union, as it is,
with prudent and vigorous exercise OF
the powers OF the Government for its
own preservation and the support Of its
friends, would have accomplished it.
the do-nothing, yielding, vscilating
polcy could have no other purpose or
effect, except to make q division of the
Republic certainty.
There is consolation for you. o, Re.
publicans. There is what your favorite
Senator thinks Of Abraham Lincoln
and his Administration. New turn YOU
from the contemplation Of that posture
and take look at the one painted by
that well known gentleman, Thurlow
Weed. He speaks to be heard. His
counsels are wise. His words command
attention everywhere. Hear him in
the Albany Evening Journal of the
2Sth ult.:
