THE IR ESIlrENT AND THE
DEMOCRACY.

The president mas proven hlmsclt
amply capable to fill the very import
ant position he occupies. All his ac-
tons thus far, in these trying times,
have been of the most judicious nature
and tendency. In fact SO extremely
wise has he conducted himself, that he
has thus far, left no chance for the vain
glorious and fau, finding Democracy.
to gainsay or denonnce, with any hopes
Of success his administration. His
course has been so discreet and popu.
lar that they have fallen into the chan
mel Of prai.ing him to the greatest ex-
IRENE, styling his administration, in
fact, Democratic administration in
hopes by this fulsome flattery to induce
him to depart from the true principles
Of Republicanism, in the same manner
that they induced Tyler and Fillmore to
separate from the old wing party that
placed them III power, and there.
bv to create 4 disatfection which shall!
wreck the Republican party, and they
lie successful in elcc,iug his successor
ut the next Presidential election. This
j. the secret of their actions, and let no
true Republican deceive himself for a
moment, in accrediting to them any
superior love for the country, or respect
for the President. This seeming de-
votion oftheirs is purely selfish as the
future will disclose.
The Democratic party, is, as las oft
been asserted, pro- slavery in its princi-
pies and tendsscy,, and it is these acts
of the President that at first sight seem
~ point in that direction, that they
most warmly endorsed. They endorse
these from principle, and not alone for
tho mere sake Of flatterv.
We see the proof Of this in their
loud plaudits Of his course in co,m-
demanding the order Of Gen. Fremont,
for the conliscation Of all the property
ofrebels, whose slaves were employed
against the Government. They were
perfectly sure from this, that he had
fairly aad sGuarely backed himself out
Of the Republican party. and grca,
man was he. They had applaudcd
him SO highly for this, in hopes thereby
to induce him to take another step III
the same direction, that their papers
through the country, that had openly
committed themselves, were obliged to
swallow the pill found in his late mess
age to Congress, recommending them
to pass a resolution that the T. s. Gov
crnment would pecuniarlly aid any
State that might institute system Of
gradual emancipation Of their slaves.
This pill We think never will pass them,
but shortly appear as an emetic and
then there will be most splendid op
porunity Of turning a dog to his vomt
We have the key to this in the late
vote in the House Of Representatives
ON the said resolution, and which was
not generally known by the Democra-
tic papers at the time OF their commit.
ment. Theresolution passed the House
by vote 81 yeas and 81 nays. OF the
yeas, ~ were Republicans, 9 Unionists,
and one Democrat. Among the nays
was one Republican, and all the res,
Democrats and SO called Unionists-
Who now is pro-slayery? The Presi-
dent has also endorsed the bill prohibit
ing the army from returning any more
fugitive slaves, and the gas blowers Of
the Democracy may also perhaps inhale
this, before they can get the action Of
their pumps reversed. But one thing is
sure if Lincoln keeps on in this way,
the Democracy will by and by smell
"nigger" in hefence corner somewhere,
and then what Fright about face" and
forward march" there will be on the
part Of these negro lovers, to save poor
Sambo from tho hands Of Old Abe.
Pity for them that Old Abe has SO
fooled them and 60, them on the record
in the shape he has.
