MACHINE DEMOCRATS
The following extract from "Our
Parties and Politics," in Putnam's
Monthly for September, is the best
description of a class of subservient
men who call .themselves democrats
that we have ever seen. [Eds. Journal :
The other class of Democrats, whom
we. denominate the t•fficial or machine
democrats, because they move and
talk as they are wound up, mean as
they appear, yet constitute, in reality,
a distinct and powerful body in the
state. It is trot a new remark we
believe, that successful parties suck in
and collect about them large squads
of !speculating politicians, who care
nothing for truth or righteousness,
while they have a ravenous appetite
for distinction and provender. They
arc not precisely camp-followers, be
cause they sometimes fight in the
fines, but their interest in the come t
is determined rather by the pros' ect
of booty than by any convictions tl
may be imagined to entertain. Like
Bunyan's By-ends, who followed Re
ligion for the silver slippers she wto e,
they are patriots,, because it is prdfit
able to be pat . In other words,
they are democrats because the dent
ocrats are generally in the ascendant,
which means, in .office. Sometimes
they slip round to the wings, when
the wings have a sure look for ,11C-
CeSS ; but they find it safer in the Aryng
run, to be on the other side.
„,,,, & No men
tore noisy than they in shGting tine
usual rallying cries, none more glib
in the common-places of electioneer
ing, and none so apparently 'earnest
and sincere. But at. heart they are
among the greediest and shabbiest of
scoundrels. It is upon their shoulders
that incompetent and bad men are
borne to places of high trust, and
from them that the Prtutorian guards
of . republics are selected in the hour
of their eclipse and hastening decay.
This class of democrats (their in
nate flunkeyism would inake them
monarchists or satraps in other lati
tudes) flourish the best in those calm
times when no great controversy agi
tates, the nation, and 'no important
emergency awakens strong and burn
ing passions. In crises which call for
lofty ambitions and abilities, they are.
shriveled and consunied by the heat
of them, :DA sink out of the way till
the fiery storm is past. But in periJds
of comparative public indifference or
reaction, when there are few who care
to watch them, they swarm like mag
gots in a carrion. As the reins of
power at those times are apt to hill
into the hands of little men—of a Ty
ler or Pierce, for instance—the golden,
hour for narrow intellects and base
hearts has attired. The art of admin:
istration at once degenerates into
mere trickery or management. Toads
crawl into the seats of the eagles.
Public policy fluctuates between the
awkwardness of conscious incompe
tence- and the blustering arrogance
of bullyism. The possession of office
becomes a badge, either of imbecility,
or cunoing,. or insolence. It is won
by services that elsewhere would
warrant a halter, and it is conferred,
not as the need of patriotic, deserts,
but as the wages of supple and mer
cenary eervices. They who dispense
JOUR
patronage, do. so in the conviction of
Walpole, • that evet y man has his
price, and they who receive it, take it
with a full knowledge that the stamp
of venality is on every-token of silver.
Superiors.in plaCe are not superiors'
in merit, only .superiors in craft and
recklessness; while in Criors don the.
gilt lace and plush of their Official
varleti In without a _blush thOr
checks, or a sense of shame at their
hearts. Government, in short, is On
vetted into a vast conspiracy of place
men, managed by the adroiter villains
of the set, controlling elections, dic
tating legi=lotion, defeating reforms,
and infusing gradually its own menial
and muck-worm spirit into the very
body of the community. The masses'
even, under the paralysis of i.uch
dmoination, seem to be rendered in
sen.-ibie to the usual influences-of hon
or and virtuous principle; are dead
ened almost to the heroic examples of,
their fathers; lose the inspititing
ditions •of an 'earlier greatness
~and•
grandeur of conduct; and virtually, fl if
not actually- sink into slaves. Then,
schemers of wrong riot in the impu
nity of license, and projectsofgigantic
wickedness are broached, which, a
few years befbre, would have caused
a shiver of indignation to run like a
gathering earthquake through the
whole land. .But fora completer-pic
ture, a tableau virant of the degrada
tions of functionarism, of the sordure
and meanness of stipendiary democ

ruption, since the best wine makes

1.2
The Pro-Slavery Party, sometimes
called. the Southern Party, we are
unwilling to speak of by this name,
because we carefully di:tinguini be
tween its southern members, who are
the propagandi •ts of slavery, and those
gentlemen of the south who simply
wish their peculiar domestic system
to be let alone ; while we do out dis
tityrui--h tween them and their north
ern conljt ors,—dough-faCes are they
bight,—who are their superservicable
instruments. The first distinction we
make, .because we know that titer'
are large ntunbers of intelligent and
conscientious people at the south,
who do not believe that slavery is a
good or a finality; on the contrary,
who feel that it is a burden at best,
and a sad and dreadful - inheritance;
who are anxious to manage it wisely,
with a view to its ultimate extinction;
z nd, consequently, %%:ould dread to see
it . trengthened Jr extended, ho)king
- with h ipe and Chri tian prayer to the
day when the combined influences of
modern industriali.m, and Democracy,
and Ch i.tianity, shall have relieved
them of their painful weight of re-
But we Jo not make
the second - unction, because the
•mo•t efficient, and by far the most
despicable, branch of the Pro-Slavery
Patty, is that which, educated at,the
north, under all the genial inspirations
of a free condition of cxi t.enee, and
without the necessity of an ernharass
ing ilvolvement, still voluntarily ca=ts
itself at the feet of Slavery, to eat the
dirt of its footmarki, and lick the
sores on its liritbs. For the first class
of slaveholders, we cherish not only a
profound synipathy, but a genuihe
admiration and esteem ; we have
ftietids among them whose excellen
cies of character are themes f 4 medi
tation and gratitude; and to the pro
pagators of the :•ystem, even. we can
atti i but e entic e hi ne. ty of purpose,
though a mistaken one ; but, fur its
cringing and adulatory northern syco
phants we have no feeling but one of
unmitigated pity and contempt. Could
they be transfered, fins a time, to the
experience of the pour creatures
whose fetters they help to bind, the
Most generous mind could hardly
regard the change as less than a just
and happy retribution. •
PArAcv.—Five of the States . of the
Union were otiginally settled by
Papi-ts, namely Maryland, Florida,
Louisiana, Testis, . and California; the
whole northern frontier, from' the
mouth of the St. Lawrence to. Fond
du Lac has ever. been exposed to the
influence of Popery from Canada, and
Hurst of the towns on that frontier,
were settled by Papigs; . and yet in
-Maryland there are about SOO Prot
estant churches to 65 Papal. Of 152
chuiches in Florida, only five are
papal; Loui , ititta has .123 Protestant
and 55 papal churches. Texas has
but 13 papal chnrches,and 131 Prot
estant; while Protestant influence is
greatly predominant in California.
The inference to be drawn from thiese
facts is that however bold and coufi.
dent Romanism may be it has no
principle of vitality to sustain and
give it the prei - iminence it seeks. •

DEVOTED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY, AND THE DISSEMINATION .OF MORALITY : UTERAP:II,.E, AND NEWS
COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA.. SEPTEMBER' 29, 18,54.
From t he F,vening Register
THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH."
In another part of our paper will
be found an article with. the above
captioni-to which we desire especially
to call the attention of our readers.
It is from the Sentinel, published in
Columbus, Georgia, and it contains
acknowledgments of further weakness,
such as never before, as we think, have
appeared in any of the pro-slavery
journal.. For thirty years the people
Of the North have been forced to bear
patiently-with threats of secession, to
he effected at any moment when they
shall fail to acquiesce in .the edicts of
the slave drivers of the South, and
during the whole of that period, the
slave power has been 'permitted to
dictate the whole policy of. the I.lnion.
At its command Florida and Teias
have been purchased, and war 'made .
Upon a weak neighbor, at a cost of
many thousands of men and many
millions of dollari; fur the ostensible
purpose of settling the boundaries of
the latter. At its command; numerous
bills for the' . eiehnsing of our rivers
and the ii!rmation- of harbors, have
been vetoed; sometimes by the South
and at others by the Executive. At
its command, the free laborers of the
North have been deprived of protec
tion, and the mills, furnaces. and
minec at which they were accustomed
to work, and in which the farmers
were accustomed to find the markets
for their produce, leave been sold out
by the Shmitll Any delay in regiqer
ing the decrees of the South, brought
with it the threats 12f §eces4on, to
which alone was due .the passage of
the several .acts of 1850, including the
grant. of no less than ten millions of.
dollars to Texas, and the Fugitive
Slave Act, by which, men were to be
deprived of all property in themselves,
with
• a facility and disregard of legal
form that would not have been per
mitted in regard to a claim in relatino
to property in a pocket handkerchief.
Emboldened by all this, the South
has happily been induced to take one
step from them in the road tawardS
hing the entire .and perfect
control of the 300,000 slave owners
over the lives, liberties, and destinies
f the people of the North; and this
it has done, because led to believe that
this, too, would be borne as have all
the past usurpations r;fthe slave power.
In this, however, it has miscalculated.
" Tread upon a worm and it will turn,"
says the proverb; and in this case, at
least. it has proved to be true. The
worm has turned, and the people who
have long been trodden upon now
spew themselves determined to con
tinue together fir the assertion Of their
rights, as the majority of the nation,
to have some control of its policy.
Everywhere, Whigs, free soilers, dem
ocrats, anti-slavery men, and know-'
nothings. are seen to be laying aside
all minor points of difference, and
arraying themselves for a contest, a
routrance, with the slave power.—
Everywhereit is felt that the time has.
come for a settlement of the treat
-rfue-tion, whether the government is
to he adminigered in the interest of
300,000 slaveholders, or of the eighteen
millions of white people, who own
themselve , , and sell their own labor,
and that all that is required for a settle
ment of the question in favor _of the
flee laborers,. is that combination of
eff, st which is now taking place.
What is the consequence] For an
answer, let our readers look to the
article to which'we have already called
their attention. In it they will find
abundant signals of distress, but no•
detianc6—plenty of abuse of those
" wretches" who so thr "defy
the laws of God and man" as to desire
that Kansas may be a flee 'State, but
no threats of dissolution. The time
tbr that, as is now thormighry e ct
the South, has gone by. The' day of
thrther " seCession" is over, because
the BoLit4 has aiiitikened .to the fact
that it is.the South that is. really prof
ited'by the Union, and that its contin
uance as a mere matter of pecuniary
profit is not to he desired. Instead of
Lthreats of disunion, we have here calls
for 'union with the ° Democrats," who
have al ways been the "Northern allies"
of the slave drivers of the South. •
The institution of slaVery must, as
we have been told, " topple to the
ground," covering "with its frag;-
ments" all the glorious Southern land,
whence fhr . the laA thirty years• have
issued decrees undo which the area
of slavery 'has been Sc) widely ex
tended, and the rights of free men so
often annihilated. All this, we ar
told, can - be accomplished "if the
North" is peitnitted to beCorne united.
To prevent this, the South mut-t labor
to buy • back its "Northern-allies ;"
without them it is undone. r If they
will come, it is, says the. Sentinel,
necessary that they tfictivelves
. shonld
name their price: if they will but
" enli-t under the Southern' banner,"
" the South will not inquire 'into their
"'antecedents," nor will it "question
their motives." Iftliey desire" Spoils,"
they shall have them, except: rho, de ,
Sire lead them to "strip: the dead."
Men. with such desires are to be found
—as is 'here said, and we believe"- it.
Among the [sham] Democracy -Who
stood by:the Nelninka bill, and with
their aid the Scluth is certain of victo
ry—Will, we doubt not, continue-until
the approaching elections shall fully
undeceiv6 them. ;
We have called the attention of Ont.
readers to the expression elSouthern
opinion, because we have reasons ,to
believe it expresses fully the present .
sta,e of. the Southern mind, in which
alarm is now'becoming almost uni~'er
sal.
Until now it has been believed
that there was no self-respect at the
North, tlat the South might do what'
it would; but new SOuthern men are
beginning to see that 'thel'e is a north ;
and that it is•prepating to make it'44f
felt' by repudiating the dough-flees'
that 'have been accustomed..tol strip
both the dead and the-living in,snarch
for "'spoils",permitted by the South
to all Who proWd themselves: bad
enough to co-operate in the i.!XtelSiOli
of the area,ofsirvery--:and now all this
alarm for the .future. They now. see
their weakness, so no fear of threats ;
they cry pcixari. Instead of disunion
they now call for union at any sacrifice
of honesty and integrity among their
late allies.
We commend theSe facts ; to the
careful consideration of such. of our
readors as may he disposed to see, in
the present movement at
. the'Nnrth,
anything tending towards disunion.
They are, hi short, calculatcd!to lead
them to the eoncluson at which we our-
Selves long since arrived; that
such a movement alotie, that 'we - can
look for perpetuation of the . Union.
All the present schemes for fu.rther
- exttin,ion at Northern cost, look to
ward dissolirtion ; and those who lend
their aid toile accompliAment of those
schemes, are the real Disunioaists. It
was time that the South should he
waked up from its dreams of :further
supremacy—thatAt I .should be taught
that there really is - a North capable of
subisting and of prospering by it elf=
and that that North, while di :posed to
respect the rights of the South, was
fully determined to insist tipOn having
its own rights respected ; and the more
effectual now the Measures adopted
}Or satisfying it that such 'is the
determination of Northern :men, the
longer will be the duration of the
Union.

Ei==tEIENT OF KANSAS
The settlement of Kansas is now in
rapid progress, but the accounts which
+me receive from the scene of action
are sn contradictory that it is difficult
to fcutn any definite idea as to the
prepiniderating character of the emi
grati4, We have published every
thing:which came to hand on-the sub
ject, in order, that our readers; - if they
please, may 'draw their own c.onclu
-sions,: as we find it impossible to-an ive
at any satisfactory result ourselVes.
If we may believe all that we findin
the Southern journals, there is not the
shaddw a doubt that Kansas i 4 des
-tined; to become a slave State. One
extinct, said to bp', front,a.letter
writ
ten in 'Kansas Jane I;sth by a gentle.
man ;of Lexington, Kentucky; thus
pronounces:. "
"From the great rush to Kansas, I
_am not unwarranted it saying, that in
one year atier -the, mgt nization there,
Will be 50,000 persops within her bor

This is evidently written to stimu,
late Southern emigrittion; and as it
furnishes no details, its positive asser
tions will not pass for much. But, a
more plausible statement is the follow
ing, said to be from a paper called the
Enteiprise, publisLed at Springfield,
"Dr. White, of this city, has just
returned from Kansas Territory. He
de. 7 :etilfes the country as exceedingly
heautiftil and fertile, and believes =t
will 'not be long berme it enters into
the Uttion as a fine and populous §tate.
He informs, us that .people from 1111 i•
SOUI A rk;insa:;, Kentucky, and other
States, are flocking into the new Ter
ritory so nuinerou•.ly, that it will pot
fail to be secured to tiouthern influence
and institutions. At the Weston and
other ferries . along the riN ers border
ing the Territory, emigrants arrive if)
such crowds that boats carry them
fiver. day and night; and disputes fe
quently ari.itt as.to'who shalt have the
next chance to go over. Wherever
vettlements are made, registers are
appointed, who faithlidly rem d every
first claim made to lands, that no dis
turbance will hereafter occur concern
ing preanption rigl.ts. The Courts
are required to sustain this very ex
cellent yegulation; and everything in_

Coming, as this information does,
frbrii a citizen of a free State, appal. - -
dfifly unprejudiced, it hears with it the
impress of truth, though the paper
which gives it' publicity is unlhmitiar
in this latitude.
A letter from Kaitsas, to the N. N":
rferald, contains the following' para
graph:
.; " The . amount of immigration, in
the -way of nt - etcf.7.and cattle, is sur
ini,ing. ThouSatids and thousands are
.pouring in from all portions of the
union, but more especially from Itlis
sonri, Kentucky, and' Tennessee. It
seems to be a purptweTrepanse to have
it a Slave State.. There is •a . itory

...tissouri river they have a cos, tied,
and a committee to ask ea chimmigrant
!what animal that! is. If he. says "A
eow," all ,well—he goes over. But it
he answers "A 46w,'. they turn him
buck." . •
This is a repetition of the old story.
That - there is a large 'emigration from
Missouri and Arkansas we can readily..
believe, lin we have .seen in the pa-.
pers of that .region' every evidence of
it.: But the papers (4 - Kentucky,
Tennessee,' and Virginia have fur
nished us with no indications• of the
prevalence of an emigration fever in
that section; AS 1: - cgaiars the carrying
of slaveS from MiSsouri**to 'Kansas,

they bring higher prices than in Mis-
son ri, others are taken with their own
er's to Tex' as,'and the ellect during the
last few,years has been to produce a
decrease of the slave population •of
Missouri. What, then, will be 'the
result, if, in addition, such swarms of
slaveholdint:,r Missourians emigrate to
• Ktuisas I
. This suggests a doubt as to
the truth of the accounts, and. on this
be;id ive find numermr; letters front
Kan , aS to the Nrirtliet wpapers, which
say that they ate publiFhed with
view to discourage lice emigration.
A recent paragiaplt in the Glasgow
nines, in chronicling fact that the
roads are crowded with emigrants all
hound for the teriitory, asserts that
the majority lire Northerners. A cit
izen of Wayite county, Ohio, named .
John Gabrel, who is now in Kansas,
locating, land, writes to the Canton,
Ohio, Trankript of June 25th, to the
following eflect:
"A Slas;eltolding Junto haYe 'deter
mined not to permit 'ony i hnti-slavery
people to settle in that teutitery. The
Government functiqaries are all slav
holders, or devoted 4o its extension.
" Mr. Vanderslice, Indian agent
among the loWas and Kickapoiv., about
thirty miles west orSt. Joseph, had
heard that an agent for a Free Soil
company was in St. Joseph, who 'in
tended to locate a whole township of
