have undertaken this business are men who
either held office under Mr. Buchanan or
expected to DO so. The most bitter anti
Douglas man in this town is one who ex-
pected Office under the present Administra-
tion, but did not get it. OF course, these
men early committed themselves against
Douglas. They had to do so in order to
please Mister James Buchanan, who used all
the resources of his Administration to crush
him out in Illinois, but couldn't do H. The
Democratic party of that State sent him
back to the Senate, and he walked like a
| lion, as he was and is, into the midst of the
Buchanan majority in that body. and they
shrunk from his presence. These men, then,
who have thus committed th themselves against
Douglas are afraid of him. They want no
demonstration in his favor. They make tests
eacluding Douglas men from all participation
in their primary elections-they are AFRAID
to have the Douglas strength united, and
use all their little, contemplate tricks of cor
ganzation," party discipline" and the like,
to prevents union of the Douglas forces
The cause of this anxiety is this: They feel
that they have warred against Douglas, and
that they have nothing to expect from a Doug
las triumph. They prefer the defeat of the
Democratic party, to success which would
not give them all tie Offices


We ask the rank and file of the Democracy
of this city, if they are going to submit to
this kind of arrogant dictation from few

mocracy? Their insolence is insufferable,
and the Democratic masses ought to arise in
/ their might and sweep them from the politi-
cal arena When the masses of the Democ.
racy are in favor of reunion of the party,
knowing that all of the elements of the De-
mocracy are needed in the great battle which
is now going on between Republicanism and
| Democracy, and that without union, the
party must inevitably be wiped out, we see
these narrow schemers and self-aggrandizing
plotters for their own selfish interest, oppos


ing this union with all their might and ener-

afraid to unite the party, lest they may lose
some of the offices, the spoils of which they
desire to distribute among themselves. Will

impudent assumptions or not? We are

nee of the Democratic National Convention
party has always been willing to enroll all
the members that it could and to make the
organization as strong as it was possible for
it to be. Had such test as the Administra-
ton City Committee has now made, been
adopted in 1856 against these very same in
diyiduals who make it, they themselves
would have been excluded from all partici-
patton in the elections of the Democratic
party. Pretty looking fellows they are to
be making tests


But the point upon which we are insisting
is this: All over the State the enemies of
Douglas are using the regular organization
to exclude Douglas votes from the Conven-
tions Of the party. In this county, the reg
ular" organization is the Douglas organiza-
ton. At any rate, if it is not, there is no
regular organization at all, and both the
Douglas and the Administration organiza-
tions are irregular. Now, the men who con
troll, by virtue of their accidental Committee
ships, ct cetera, the Administration irregu-
lar organization, undertake to say to the
Douglas men in their own ranks, 1--WE are de.
termined to keep you in a minority, by ex.
Guiding men who would vote with you, and
we intend to Outvote you by this means and
rule you as we please" To this, the Doug
las men, and the Anti-Court Hourse Clique
men in that organization should reply "The
other organization-to-wit, Douglas-is Just
as regular as yours you have no advantage
of them in that respect; they say, they are
going to support the nominee of the Charles
ton Convention ace say so too; that is
enough for us and, as we don't care about
being whipped around by your sort any long.
er, and as we look upon men who are will
ing to support the nominee of the Charleston
Convention as just as good Democrats as you
could hope to be, why, good sirs, kind sirs,
most adorable good lords and masters, we
will just vote with the other organization,
and clean you out. We are tired of your su-
percilious dictation, and we will submit to it
no longer. At any rate, if we don't vote
with the other organization, we will vote
with the members of it in such way as to
teach you, you blood-suckers of the party,
that there is a God in Israel"
