ty, guaranteeing tlte liberty of speech and of the press, is essential to the proper working of the system. In England, for example, it is the very life of freedom, and the chief cause of the permanence of tlte Government. In a free government, it prevents revolution ; in a despotic government, if permitted to exist to its full extent, it would cause continual revolution. In a demociatic representative republic, the most free of all governments, parties necessarily exist. They cannot be prevented. When regulated by pat riotism, intelligence, and public virtue, they are a real benefit to the country. But when they degenerate into mere factions, and become corrupt, they are the greatest source of national danger. In the United States, parties were developed at a very early period of the history of the Republic, and they have continued in existence ever since, under various designations. In the beginning, parly spirit was as violent, and ran as high, as it docs now ; but it wanted then one clement to rentier it dangerous, and that was the corruption that has prevailed for the last fifteen years. On one side there has been one great party, which was organized by Thomas Jefferson, and has remained to this day the Democratic party. It was called at first Republican, but its enemies called its members Democrats, by way of reproach, and in alliiaion to tha democratic clubs of the French Involution, ami the party afterwards adopted the term. All other parties that have arisen have beern opposition parties to the Democracy, which, with slight exceptions, has ruled the nation ever since George Washington's administration. The nation has developed itself and flourished under the Democratic regime, as no people ever did before. The first antagonistic party to Democracy were the Federalists, who, under the sway of the Adamses, passed 'the alien and sedition laws,' which render them so unpopular that they were speedily extinguished, and compelled to assume another name. They became Whigs, under the auspices of William H. Seward. Their distinctive doctrine was consolidation of the States, and the centralization and aggrandizement of the Federal Government, in opposition to States rights, or independent sovereignty, claimed by the Democrats for every State. Hence the issue of 'internal improvements, including inland navigation, which the Whigs contended ought to be effected at the national expense, whereas the Democrats contended that each State ought to pay for the im provements within its own borders ; and hence also another issue, which was a greater source of contention the tariff: the Whigs insisting that a protective tariff, virtually giving a monopoly of native manufactures to the New-England States and Pennsylvania, was not prohibited by the Constitution, and was expedient and beneficial to the country ; tlte Democrats, on the other hand, com plaining that the South and West, which had few manufactures, should be unjustly taxed for the benefit of the Eastern section, and denying the Constitutional right of Congress to impose any tariff on imported goods, except for the mere pur pose of revenue. This led to the conflict of high taiiff and low. tariff, in which the Democrats camu off victorious ; not, however, till South-Carolina, in 183-, had passed an ordinance of nullification, and a collision between that State and the Federal Government became imminent, which was only settled by compromise. Another hobby of tho Whigs was the United States Bank, which received its death-blow from a high-handed proceeding of Jackson, w ho assumed 'the responsibility. and removed the Government deposits from its keeping. It wa analogous to the Bank of England. The objection to it was, that it gave a private corporation too much power, and might become a dangerous engine of corruption. In the hands of the party in power, too. jit might boused for the overthrow of the Government. The tendency of the par ty in opposition to the Democrats, no matter what name it might assume, was towards consolidation and centralization of power, at tho expense of the rights of the individual States, either expressly guaranteed bv tho Constitution, or 're served to them in general terms in that instrument. It was this tendency that caused the Whigs, who resemble the Tory party in England, to become an antiblavery party, which thev did after the de feat of their candidate. General Scott, in ! the I'resiilential election Ot Which estal)I,"!;hed the ftCt, that the people, by n overwhelming majoritv, endorsed the j . f rnnriess nisinr tia CP1P. brated compn.misc measures, in ISoO, - --e - - 4 O which appeared to settle tha tdavcry question for:ver. by leaving the exclure control ot u to tiio people ot each a m a State or territorr, in accordance with the Constitution.

ized themselves into the Republican par ty, whose ostensible object wa9 not to abolish slavery in any State, but to prevent its extension in any of the territories. Their first Presidential contest was for the election of Fremont, in 1856. Many of the 'Freesoil' Democrats joined them ; and others, who were disgusted with the corruption of the Democratic party, but who cared nothing about the negro. On the same ground as this latter class, the native American, called 'Know -Nothings absorbed a large portion of the Democratic party- the balance consisted of those Whigs who were con scientioasly opposed to meddling with slavery. In 'the American party,' as in the Federal and Whig parties, which preceded it, and in the Republican party, which coexisted with it, there was less liberality to the South, and to foreigners, than in the Democratic party. TheDem

ocratic party at th iorth was the nat

uial ally of the South, because it held! They are perfectly unscrupulous as to the firmly to the doctrino of Stale rights, in 'means, and hence lies of the most decided

opposition to centralized power : and it was the friend of foreigners, because they were chie-llv poor ; and it contended for the diffusion of power, instend of its concentration. Every emigrant was thus a new recruit. The Irish and Germans, with few exceptions, were Democratic But the Revolutions of 1848 sent a new class of Germans, as exiles here. Revolutionary at home, they are the chief source of strength to the Republican party from the foreign element, particularly in the West. Ignorant of our language. th?y did not understand the institution of negro-slavery, or the Constitution1! which protected it, and hence were readily caught by the clap-trap cry of free-farms, free speech and free men. 'Liberty, fraternity, equality,' was their motto, brought from Vaterland. How sincere the Republican party was in its shibboleth of "free speech and free men,' may be estimated from the manner in which, when they got into po ver, they dealt with whatever tongue or peu dared to oppose them, or criticise their smallest act, till the country gave unmistakable signs that it would no longer stand such flagrant violations of the Constitution, and ihe rights of white men. The Republicans have proved their lineal descent from the old Federate, who attempted, by selition laws, to prevent any discussion about their asts. It was the corruption of the Democrata a a ic partv winch led to its disorganization and disruption, and the temporary ascen dency of the Republicans, who are a minority of the people, as is shown by the recent revolution at the ballot-box. Owing to an imperfection in the Constitution, the candidate of a small minority may become President, which is a matter of small moment, unless in times of convulsion and civil war. Unfortunately Mr. Lincoln was bo elected, and that too by a party whose fundamental principle is not the Constitution, but what they call 'the higher law.' Though Mr. Lincoln received more votes than any other candi- . . t ' 1 t' uate, me comuinea votes ai;tiiMSb were as two to one. There were four candidates, three of them conservative, and one revolutionary. The conserva tives were defeated only because they were divided, through the corruption and selfish ambition of the politicians. The Republicans triumphed for the time be cause they were united. Mr. Lincoln re ceived only about one-third of the popu lar vote, and he did not receive tho vote of a single Southern State a circum stance which speaks volumes. He had no right to carry out the policy ofthefac tion who elected him, m opposition to the Constitution, And the popular will But he permitted himself to be borne away by the violent spintS'Ol Ins partv. and to act as if a majority of tho people were in favor of his programme. The elections in October and November have completely undeceived him, if he ever imagined mat nis administration was sustained by the people a point rather difficult to determine unless at the ballot box, inasmuch as liberjy of speech and o the press, which the Republicans before coming into power proclaimed as a car dinal article of their creed, was annihi lated by the suspension of the habeas corpus act, by tho President, without the authority of Congress ; and the prisons and forts were filled with loyal men, gun ty of no crime but the legitimate expres sion of their opinions. Had any of the other fchrec Presidential candidates been elected, there would have been no soces sion, no rebellion, and no civil war. The Constitution stands in need of amendment in this particular, so that no man hereafter should be elected, unless by a ma jority of tho people. Another change is needed, and that is to have Presidential electious less fre

of the Presidential term and the arbitrary removal of men holding situations in the various departmenta of the Government are two prolific sources of corruption, profligacy, and instability. No sooner is one election over than 'pipo is laid' and 'wires are pulled' for the spoils of the next ; and thus is produced a generation of vagabonds, who, instead of pursuing rteadily an honest vocation, devote their lives to the acquisition of office uneducated men and destitute of brains, who could not, by any amount of honest exertion, realise one fourth of the money they expect to derive from the Federal Treasury. The tendency of this system is to make large numbers of men lazy and idle, and divert them from the legitimate business of life. Its tendency also is to create violent opposition to the party in power. The hungry expectants of office move heaven and earth and pande

monium to oust the present possessor). character ate resorted to. The founda tions of public morality, and of the Gov ernment itself, are sapped. If the outs are successful, the ins soon become outs, and are equally unscrupulous. Thus there is continually floating in the community an army of office-seekers, about one hundred for every situation to be filled. Such men, accustomed to habits of idleness and drinking in bar-rooms, the haunts of politicians, become spoiled for life, and never settle down to any industrious pursuit. They are the most vicious and dangerous class of the community. General Jackson in an evil hour inaugurated the principle of turning political opponents out of office, and every succeeding administration faithfully carries it out. Hence the business of the Custom House, the Post-Office, and other departments is miserably performed by raw and incompetent hands- As soon as an officeholder becomes sufficiently experienced in his business to become useful to the public, he is turned out, and his place is filled by a substitute perfectly 'green.' A Mr. Marcy enunciated the principle that 'to the victors belong the spoils.' That is undoubtedly the case as the Constitution now stands, but it cannot be changed a moment too soon. The corruption of Pierce's and Buchanan's administrations prepared tho way for the advent to power of the Republican party. Had there been no spoils there would have been no change, and least of all a disruption of the Union. The Re publicans raised tho party-cry of 'cor ruption' against the Democrats, and not without good reason. It was successful in driving them from office. But the Re publicans did not gain power because they were virtuous, but because they professed to be. No sooner did they find themselves installed in office, than they disclosed their real sentiments. They showed that they regarded the people as a pigeon to be plucked by all parties. Thev have prov ed themselves ten times more corrupt than their predecessors, even upon their own showing, as appears from the reports of niiuui vuujjicsniuiiai UIU III I HCUS 111 rhich Republicans wero a majority.

Loyal and patriotic citixens, who are ready and willing to sacrifice all they hold most dear, to maintain "the Consti tution as it is, and restore the Union aa it was," denounced as traitors and dis loyal persons, by a political party whose motto is, 'a Union withont slavery, or no Union at all. - 20th.
