The Trail ot the Serpent.:

jTke fiuion oieotoral ticket is the offspring of

jwaai. the beginning, - and. the nomination*

jit' is only another illustration ol the dan
ger ’and disgrace' that always attend upon
crime. The 1 trail ol the Locompton serpenthas
lpgispned ( eyery subsequent act of the Federal
■Administration.. Nothing has been left un
lsgiiedby.it. And if the reader will look over
! the, list ,of thpae who support the fusion ticket, i
iby which it Is expected to make John
!C. Brecrirridoe ■or Joseph Lank Presi- 1
dent of the ' United States, be will' find
[that,’ln almost every'instance, they are
the same who uphold the frauds in Kansas,
who applauded the Locompton and English
bills, who plded in the .war upon Donat as, and
who assisted Mri Bucuanan in his crusade
upon those who stood by the Senator from
Illinois. " Hr. Welsh, the chairman of
the State Committee; Hr. Bakes, the
collector,' 'and Mr. Browse, the postmaster,
and their 'affiliated official dependants—Mr.
Keiw, of Beading,, and Mr. McDowell, of
Harrisburg—-were the open advocates of all
these transgressions upon right and decency,
anil they, ate now, by a natural transi
tion, ' the chief apologists of the fusion
electoral ticket. On the other hand, with a
number of honorable exceptions, the opponents
'of that great joggle and deception were at
all times the opponents of the Kansas policy,
and the baleful measures which resulted from
it. ' Thus it is that one wrong begets another.
.Thus ft is that treason is to be made potential
by new treason, and'fwud maintained by fraud.
The trail of the serpent is upon the whole
system,'and those who’wonld avoid contami
nation must see where the serpent has left his
poison, and shnn it as a.sure contagion.
, Heavy Taxation.
There ia a negative consolation in the fact
almost every condition of aflairg, bad aa it
la, might, have been .worse. Tho profligacy
and want of principle exhibited by the Bucha
nan Administration since 1857, might nave
been crowned With an expensive foreign war
'such' as Lord Palmebstob, by carefully nurs
ing the .quarrel since the autumn of 1857, has
so adroitly managed to involve England in. Mr.
Gcadstohe’s Budget for 1860-1, including
about $150,000,000 for the army and navy,
amounted to $860,000,000. This is a large
sum to be raised in one year, (torn a nation sO
impoverished as England now is. With a
greater number of millionaires than any other
.nation in the world, England also has a pro
portionably larger amount of poor people who
must pay taxes—of peoplo whose average
earnings, for support of themselves and fami
lies, is not more than $2 awook for each pater
familias in the rural districts, and perhaps
flora $2 to' $8 a week in the manufacturing.
Taxes these mutt pay. The necessaries of
life are taxed, and so are the luxuries. If a ser
vant-girl wants to write home to her mother,
she does so on a sheet of taxed paper, and
puts a two-cents’ Queen head upon the letter
to effect its reaching its destination—with ns,
by the Way, there is two cents additional
charge fog delivery! If the poor man drink
a mug ofale, he pays, in its price, taxes upon
tlfoTnalCTinilTiOps or which it is made, andj ir
it be adulterated, a further item of taxation
ilium tho cocuUls iudicue, the quassia, and the
Sugar, which are added to give it qualities for
intoxication, for bitterness, and for sweetness.
.That the English people should have to pay
000,000 for taxes in one year, does seem
“ most tolerable and not to be endured.”
' Nor is this all. Hr, Gladstone, the Fi
nalise Minister, held out a prospect oi raising
a loan of *60,000,000 to *100,000,000 for the
purpose of putting the national defences into
good condition.
Well, at .the close of the present session,
down comes Gladstone again, with two ano-'
nitilous propositions.' First, that the Lords
should be compelled, if the Commons £ould
put the screws on, to repeal $7,600,000 of
a tax upon paper. Secondly, to raise an ad
ditional $19,000,000 for the expenses already
incurred, (before a shot has been fired or a
blow struck,) in the Chinese war notv on the
evo of being prosecuted by Queen Victoria,
ini combination with her loving brother and
faithful ally, Napoleon the Third, Emperor of
,tho French, as he tells the world, ««by the
grace' of God and the will of the nation.”
In the last received number of Punch we
find on engraving which, we dare say, pretty
aqrrectly expresses popular opinion in Eog-
this .W demand. It is called I
"The We»< Paper-welght,” and represents
John. Bull, inSfco traditional buckskins and
top boots, sitting (iown in the quiet' pernsal
of his newspaper. In com**.the eternal Pal
jfCn*ro.v, who jauntily plaaes' upon the table a
now paper-weight, representing a Chinese
idol squatting upon a marble plinth inscribed
£4,000,000. Palmerston’s coolness, as, with
a bit of straw in his month, and figure slightly
bent forward, be smilingly points to the ex
pensive little idol, is in felicitous contrast with
tho extreme anger of Hr. Bull, who stamps
his feet with great indignation, and appears as
if nothing would give him more delight than
-to inflict personal chastisement upon Pam.
This may be an amusing joke for the reader
of Punch , but it is likely to bci a very sad
reality for the English people. The money
which Hr. Gladstone demands will be voted
by a House of Commons w'hlch does not repre
sent the people or commons of England. That
additional burthen will raise the taxation of
Great Britain for 1860 1 to $379,000,000, to
which must be added $30,000,000 for the cost
of collection.' Here is a total Of $409,000,000
to be raised by Englishmen in ope year, with
a pretty good chance of further demands on
account of the Chinese War.
Badly as public affairs have been managed
at Washington, we have, as yet, been spared
the expense' of a war. .

The Massacres in Syria,
The startling report* of tlreshookieg mas
sacres of Christians in various parts of. Syria
by the Druses, aided'and abetted to some ex
tent b/the troops of the Turkish'Government
and by the Mahommedan population generally,
have" awakened deep indignation in all Chris
tian lands. France, England, Russia, and
Austria have already taken official steps for
the protection of the unfortunate beings who
at last accounts had still been spared, but who
were in imminent peril. As a number of de
voted American missionaries have been labor
ing in and near the scene of the recent out
rages, some of them too have probably ore
this been killed, and others are in great
tlanger, so that our own Government should
also take prompt measures for the protection
of its distant citizens.
These difficulties appear to have first
openly commenced in May last, when a vio
lent attack was made by the Druses upon a
Jlaronito village, many acts of bloodshed per
petrated; and a considerable portion of the po
pulation destroyed. Since then the forces of the
former, have been strengthened, and their fe
rocious spirit stimulated by the aid and encour
agement they have received from the great body
of Mohammedan population, and after attack- ;
ing and destroying in the most brutal manner
several minor towns, they are reported to have
assaulted Damascus, the chief city of Syria, 1
and to bavo threatened Beirut. The fairest
part of what constituted the American mis
sionary field in Syria has been devastated. -
Hasbeoyah was' treacherously surrendered by
the commander of tho Turkish troops, and
given up to plunder and burning; over one
thousand men who wore unarmed and unre
sisting were massacred; a beautiful mis
sionary, church was burnt, and thoso who
worshipped in it wero nearly all destroyed.
Two other towns, Rasheeyah and Zahleb,
have shared a similar fate., A massacre
of a portion ol tho Christians of Damns
cus is also reported to have' taken place
and' five hundred ol them are said to
have been killed. Previous advices stated
that strenuous efforts were then being made for
its preservation by the famous Algerino chief,
Add-el-Kadkr, who bad organized an efficient
corps, which patrolled the city day and night.
Damascus contains a population of about 160,-
000, comprising 180,000 Mahommedans and
Druses, 15,000 Christians, and 6,oooJews. It
could doubtless have easily been defended
against an.attack of the mountain tribes of
Druses if its own large Mahommedan popula
tion had not warmly sympathized with them in
their hatred of the Christians. But if the
fiend of religions intolerance was unohainedi
in a community thus constituted, tho massacre
of tho Christians was probably almost Uni
versal.
Beirut is also reported to bo in imminent
danger, but as it is a seaport town, and foreign
vossels-of-war are anchored there, wo trust
tho lives of all its Ohristianß will be ssrcd,
although their assailants were hovering near
the town, and the local Mahommedan
population was very much embittered against
them. The Americans had resolved to retire
to tho American printing establishment on the
first signal of an outbreak, as It is a species of
castle in itself, and to go on board the vessela
of-war if any assaults wero commenced by the
infuriated fanatics.
The Druses are a singular religious sect,
which is supposed to have been founded about
1020, by a Mahommedan fanatic or heretic.
The chief feature of their creed is an intense
Uiiitarianism, and although they adopt por
tions of the Old Testament and Jewish reli
gion, of the Koran and Mahommedan
creed, and of the Now Testamont and Chris
tian creed, they agree fully with neither,
and have a peculiar faith of their own.
They do not soek to make proselytes, and even
endeavor to maintain a profound secrecy, ex
cept among the initiated portions of their
members, concerning their real faith; but
some of their books have at different times
ionnd their way into the libraries of Europe,
and from these an exposition of their doc
trines has been obtained. They have no re
gular paid priests, but tbeir most faithfbl and
triedmembers, after undergoing due probation,
Uke charge of their religious interests, in a
manner somewhat similar to tho customs pre
vailing among the Society of Friends in our
oivu State. Their whole nuTlibutMu Syria has
been estimated to bo about 70,000. Having
st different periods been persecuted by tho
Mahommedans, engaged in many wars with
their rivals, tho Maronites, and repeatedly
called to take up arms in self-defence, they are
• essentially a warlike race, and every boy be
comes, at an early age, expert in the use of tho
1 1 nco, the dagger, tho sword, and the gun. They
)i ave been, il possible, more tenacious in pre
serving their peculiar religion, even when
completely surrounded by the influence of
other sects, than the Jows.
The Maronites are also a warlike people,
every man being almost constantly armod,
and ready to defend himself or country from
attack. They are a sect of Eastern Christians,
first formed, it is supposed, about the conclu
sion of the seventh century. They differed
from tho church of that era, by contending
that tho Saviour, although ho might bo sup
posed to have two wills because he had two
natures, had, in reality, only ono will, because
it was absurd to suppose there should bo two
freo wills in one and the same persob. This
heresy fell undor the condemnation of a Ge
neral Connell in 680, because it was supposed
to destroy tho humanity of Jesus Christ, de
priving it of will and operation. The Syrian
mountaineers having embraced it under the
t . achings of an ecclesiastic named Johh Mabo,
the name of Maronites has ever since adhered
to them. In the twelfth century they re
nounced their former distinctive faith, and
then became subject to tho jurisdiction of tho
Pope, for whom they have great reverence.
but their priests still marry, as in ancient
times, and they elect a local religious ruler,
with tho title of batrak, or patriorch of An
tioch.
Independent of the interest which these
massacres have created on account of the
lively sympathy which Christians everywhere
naturally feel tor religious brethren who have
been so cruelly assailed, a deep political in
terest has been excited, because., the whole
Turkish question has been called up in a now
shape. It will be recollected that one of the
chtoi causes which Russia assigned for her re
cent war against was, that that por
tion of her population which had embraced the
faith of the Greek Chnrch, and therefore look
ed to the Czar for succor, was shamefully per
secuted. France and England, in uniting to
shield the “ sick man ” from the destruction
which would have been inevitable, if they had
not extended to him their effective assistance,
obtained from the Suiters the most solemn
pledges that his Christian subjects should be
fully protected. Tbo late events in Syria show
that these pledges hare been violated in the
most shocking and lamentable manner. The
Sultan either would not or conld not fili
al them. In either event a necessity for
prompt and effective action exists, which
France, under her astute ruler, Lows Nai>o_
leon, as the natural protector oi the Maron
ites, is not only willing, but eager, for ulterior
political purposes, to undertake. Even Eng.
land, which has so long upheld Turkey, as a
barrier on the north against Russian aggran
dizement, and on the south against French
ambition, has been startled by recent events,
and compelled to admit the infamous imbe
cility, to call it by no harsher name, of the
Turkish Government. And, it can scarcely
bo doubted, sinco so deep and jnst a feeling
of indignation has been aroused, that the pro
tection of the Christians of Syria, including
our American missionaries to that country,
will bo secured, ovon if it becomes necessary
to wrest it from the Sultan.
The Candidates of the Disnnionisls.

THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 31 1860.
Buying Goods of New York.
If thero is a commercial disparity existing
botweon Philadelphia and Now York in favor
of tho latter, wo believe It is mainly attributa
ble to the laxity of our peaple in not being
sufficiently Philadelphian in spirit. Notwith
standing New York is inferior to us in wealth
and cbaractor, she is said to bo annually
making inroads' upon our commerce, and
doubtless does so by her audacity and misre
presentation ; so that, in fact, between brass
and gold, the formor, in mercantile affairs,
seems to bo the winning metal. The practice
oi f Now York firm? Selling goods by sample in
All our,. wholesale business thoroughfares, as
Ihoy are doing every day, in violation of law,
iwd to tho detriment ol our own commission
houses, is an insult to our mercantile sagacity,
and should ho speedily remedied. • Tho argu
ments against Philadelphia merchants allowing
themselves to become. tributary to hor most
insidious rival in this way are overwhelming,
as every thinking business man will admit.
Philadelphia has an incalculable interest in
sustaining and augmenting the number of her
first-class commission houses; yet this cannot
be successfully done by her merchants in the
’other branches of trade buying goods in Now
;York, which could bo purchased with equal
advantage in our own market. In all domestic
fabrics Philadelphia prices are lower than tho
samp goods command in Now York, for obvi
ous reasons, and yet casos are not unlYequent
in which packages of goods aro sold to. New
-York houses, by our commission mon, and
subsequently resold to Philadelphia at an ad
vanced price!
Several, jobbing merchants have within a
few days called our attention to this impolitic
business course, and it must bo admitted that
jobbers havo no less interest than the commis.
sion men in correcting it, for in proportion as
Philadelphia ceases to be a “ first hands”
mercantile emporium will she sniftr in hor dis
tributing interests.,
Tho stocks of our commission houses at the
present time are complete, and ready for busi
ness, and a number of largo bills have already
been sold to early buyers from tbe South and
West. Upon the whole our business prospects
never looked more flattering. The trade
is not, expected to ho remarkably heavy,
but it will be healthy. Tho largo crops al
ready gathered, and comparatively light im
portations, cannot hut contribnto to this ro
Butt, But lot Philadelphia merchants be tree
to Philadelphia interests, and not patronize
New York runners—whose whole stock in
trade is their pattern cards—to the detriment
of our own traders, who sustain Philadelphia
capital by renting stores. Lot it be once un.
derstood that every violation of law in this
partlcnlar shall meet its due legal penalty, and
that Philadelphia merchants patronizing New
York in this way, are regarded as untrue to
her interests, and the mortifying mistako of
somo of our merchants here referred to will bo
corrected, and not until then.

[Correspondence of The Frees.]
Groat solioitade is felt by the Brookinridge men
in regard to the vote of the adopted oitieens in
the Southern States, which is very considerable in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, Vir
ginia, and Texas. It is said that hardly ope of
them will oast his vote for the Seoeders. -They
are unanimous in supporting Stephen A. Douglas
for tho Prorldenoy. Knowing tbe difference be
tween a despotic and free country by experience,
they wilt be the last to assist a handfnl of Die
unionists to destroy our Union—the soureo of ali
onr liberty, prosperity, and happiness. Besides,
there is no man living who Inspires them with so
much enthusiasm as the " little (iisnt ” This love
aod attachment of the adopted citizens for Douglas
is the secret why Mayor Wood, of New York, has
found it convenient to declare in favor of Douglas.
Having been elected by the German and Irish
votes, Fernando, knowing that they are ail for
Douglas,-did not dare to aot against their wishes;
for if he had, he would soon have found himself in
tho position of a general without an army. Breck
inridge has not tho smallest oialm to the support
of adopted oitieens His speech at Oynthiana in
1856 is not forgotten. In 1838 they shat an eye,
ignoring his Know-Nothing proclivities, because
he was only the second on the ticket, a mere
cypher, nnable to carry out bis doctrines in his
position ss Vica President. Bat at the first on the
ticket m ee&ataeto for President -il osa’t he done i
-IVo nonorahie adopted citizen will vote for Breok-*
inridge. . >
Mr. Buehanan pursues this year the same course
against the whole Northern Democracy as In 1858
against that of Illinois. Everywhere he Stfyeoapl,-
tatlng office-holders, because they advooaie the
same principles which placed him in the Presides
tin! chair in 1838, appointing in their stead adhe
rents of Breckinridge, the candidate of the Sece
dors and Disnnionists: Having declared in his
stump speech that Breckinridge i* hpt the regular
candidate, that he was irregularly nominated, he
is now moving hoaven and earth to compel Demo
crats to oast their vote for such a candidate. In
Now York, Mr Dickinson Is the chief exocutloncer.
De is mandated to remove all Douglas men from
office, lho collector and two onstom-housc • in
spectors, at Albany, hava lost their official heads
for being tainted with Douglasism! In Colnmbusi
Ohio, tho postmsster has been removed for tbe
same orlmo. In short, as I predicted some time
ago, Mr. Duohanan is organising In tho Northern
States a largo Dantte army. Poor old man’falth
leßs to your friends, treaohereus to your parly,
how muoh arc you to bo pitied !
There exists a great deal of ill-feeling among
tbo members of the Breckinridge Committee on
account of tho military tone assumed by its chair
man, Gov. I, I. Stevens, of Oregon. Having been
eluoated in West Point, and having had ohargo of
the Coast Survey for a series of years, the Go
vernor ie used* to follow hie own head, and to be
impifoitly and instanter oboyed. Jealous upon
his rights as chairman, ho cannot bo made to be
lieve that the other members of tho oommittoo are
his equals, that ho is only primus in ter pares ;
and, therefore, it happens not seldom that tho va
rious members have a little “ muse ” with him,
out of whioh, however, tho Governor eomes always
victorious. In oonsrquonoo of this disagree
ment, some of tho members of the National Com
mittee have been talking of resigning, a laudable
plan to which tho Governor has given his hearty
applause. He will either he Governor or nothing.

Washikotos, July 30, 1860.
George K. Sandors to President Bu
chanan.
New YobK, 30th July, lKtlO.
Sib : The popular mind inelinos to tho sentiment
that national solf-rospeot should shield tho position
Of President from any exposure of tho delinquen
cies of the incumbent. The Constitution declares
otherwise, and, In your case, it Is most healthy for
the public, to advanco to the constitutional limit.
You have, besides, voluntarily entered the lists of
partisan discussion, inviting all tho consequences
ojf the position. . „ ~ , .
,'Yeur cumulative, infidelity to the oountry, which
has brought us to our present disintegrating con
dition, >&b shadowed forth In the beginning of
your Administration, by base ingratitude to Indl
! viduals. Step by step, friend after friend was
sacrificed. The fact os a previous obligation chlll
ed you; great sorvioo made any one odious. A
President should have no animosities. You are
i governed only by your bates, affcotlon you have
none. But two classes have any bold upon you—
those who had opposed and reviled and cowed you,
and the eupplo parasites who fawn upon you. Yet,
oven these cannot bo devoted if they would. For
the course which is settled on to-day Is obanged by
your VAoillatlng mind to-morrow, and on the-raor
row the zig-zag programme Is changed again.
You even endeavor to pursue two opposite courses
at once. 'Witness your open instructions to Gov.
Walker,'And your private instructions to tho Sur
veyor General, end other officials in Kansas. Wit
ness your late declaration: “ Therefore, every De
mocrat is At perfeot liberty to vote as ho thinks
S roper,” and your secret olroular ordering the
lsmissal of every office-holder in favor of Dou
glas. Witness your contradictory declarations in
regard to the rights of naturalized oitlzens aboard.
Contradiction upon contradiction!
Not only the political, but tho social atmosphere
of Washington is poisoned by the upas of your in
flashes. Such ia your pornioiona course, that.the
White House is made uuoomfortable for visitors by
the obtrusion of violous politics into your parlors,
ft should be tho patriotic pride of every Adminis
tration to mako Washington a centre of intellectual
brilliancy. But, instead of communing with the
best minds of the oountry, and informing yourself
.freshly from its different sections, you make tho
recesses of tho Presidential mansion labyrinths of
espionage, wbero the Chief Magistrate sits greedily
receiving petty reports of defection among his en
slaved office-holders. The wisest and moat honored
qun of country avoid Washington as a moral
pest-house.
The Nero |lke perfidy io individuals , which
characterised your Administration from the begin
ning, sow marks its close by the betrayal of tho
mat and generous party that has fostered you by
Ititl&ltCdrto impregnable organization, from your
early days of FeiferaHst-apostaoy,- down to your
last hours of treasonable ingratitude and disunion,
in the Presidential chair., Mover did ft man owe
bo much to s party—never was a party so wantonly
betrayed. False alike to persons and party, you
have not thought of either but for tho shallowest
instincts of self. •-
It is a favorite thought and expression with you
that the Federal officers are your personal property.
How often have the monooratio words, ” my secre
taries, wiy office-holders,” grated upon theinaiguaut
ears of Amerioan citizens assembled in the presence
chamber at the White House I Even the European
despotic formula qualifies itself by tho less arro
gant use of tho plural. Instead of inculoatlng the
ennobling Idea that -their first duty is to thefr
country and to Democrats principle, your rule
holds officials to a degrading aabeorviocoy; there
is not a man of your appointment from Cablnot
miriffltor to tide-waiter who does not live la a state
of daily irritation and protest, under your grind
ing rule- Offices, raoo, patronage, and public
money are All classed as your property. * Thoro is
scarcely a contract made under the Government in
whioh you do not actively participate: noton the
side of the people, but for some follower, as in
stanced in your divisions and' sub-divisions of the
profits on tho Post Office blank printing. The
thought never etruok you that it was your duty to
save the excess over a reasonable profit, instead of
disreputably dividing it among your favorites.
Your small politics keep you always in some imagi
nary administration orlsia, and constantly on the
look-out for vaoant positions for the reward of your
partlsansof tho moment. Positions ofcousequenoe
are thus not appreciated by you, and are often
thrown away or overlooked, whilst inferior posi
tions are swelled into places of importance. Wit
ness your reoont varied attempts to get rid of the
Paraguay commission, in pursuance of your tactics
to lower superior men by offering them ieferior
positions. Tho antithesis Is seen In the dragging
of the sacred ermine of the Supreme Bench into
the dust of party arena, to reward your Jeffreys
for his famous decisions and sneaking desertion as
Preridentof the National Convention.
You have in your Cabinet gentlemen •who bad a
right to look ferward to the position you occupy;
btit following the dictates of a selfish ambition,
you have systematically endoarored to weaken
every distinguished man of the party who aspired
to be your successor. Repeating your worn out
expedient of pompously retiring from tho contest,
yon favored no one, but clung to the idea that you
might prolong, your roign another four years by
levelling tho obanoes of others- The extraordinary
seel which you manifested in your advoo&ey of the
Lecompton Constitution was prompted principally
by the desire of breaking down the formidable rf*
'valshfp of Fobort J 7 Walker. Tho triumphant
success of Gov. Walker’s brave eloquenoe and
skilful statesmanship in Kansas, excited the low
pasaions Of your naturo It was then that every
appliance of fraud aDd force was ereoted into a
tuaobine of corruption, For the. past twelve
months yon have nervously watched tho Presiden
tial field, driving back any aspirant who appeared
to be advancing too rapidly.'
Instead of laying aside selfish views, and pa
triotically coming to the rescue of tho Domooraoy
at the recent Oonveotioo, you formed an executive
and Congressional cabal, to force upon the people
a dictatorial nomination, an 1 ft platform of unrea*
sonable and impracticable Issues- A .powerful.
Compact minority ot rsonas** asu B »tcs } Federal
retainers flagrantly misrepresenting their con
stituencies, and in many oases voting against direct
Instructions, felled, however, to shake tho true
representatives of the people, who would, perhaps,
have, indeed, been justified In bolting a nomina
tion accomplished by means so nefarious. Yet not
in the darkest hours of tho fierce bottles at Charles
ton and Baltimore—the only fields In which the
Fedeswl Executive and Congressional cabal had a
partial* of power—did the representatives of the
people for one moment contemplate abandoning
the Convention. That snob a man, and the clique
around him, should seduce any large portion of
delegates into tho mad act of secession, gives only
the greater valuo to our olasilc Institutions, which
so rapidly return the unfaithful magistrate to the
comparative barmlessnoss of private life. Tho
hallucination under which you and your coadjutors
have been laboring, however, that National Con
ventions oould be controlled by Sxeoutlve and
Senatorial stratagem, was dispelled by the triumph
of the people at Baltimore.
The Cincinnati platform was good enough for
you, with James Buchanan, that upright, unde*
vUting statesman upon it; but tho brave and true
Douglas, because he was not your mouth*pieco and
shadow, needed a more strlngont rulo. You wero
very earnest during your own canvass, in declara
tion# of the necessity of your elootion upon the
Cincinnati platform to aavo tho country.
You thought the election of Fremont over
yourself and that declaration of, principle,
was Sufficient oause for tho dissolution of the
Union. Now, with its provisions strengthened,
yon, as President, are aiding Lincoln with all your
oiled taaoblnery. It wllfr bo difficult, however, for
you to oonvinoe the nation that the institutions of
the country would be any safer under Lincoln than
they would have been under the less fanatical Fre •
mont. Instead of heavily taxing your offico-hold
ors to initiate Breckinridge fiokets North, it would
be brave and generous, comparatively, the result
being the same, to order them to go direct for Lin-
Your hands reeking with Demooratio gore,
you thus essay to deliver over the betrayed South
into the tolls of Republican intervention. Your
Administration will be marked in history as tho
fometitor of anarchy and oivil war- There is nothing
so bale thatyeu would notdo to protong your pow
er ; madness seems to possess you—to have no suc
cessor, to leave no Government behind you—like
the miser who olpiehea hia bag of gold in his dying
hour, and refuses even to will it to another, lest it
should loosen his hold upon it in his last moments.
When tho Democratic party was in the throes of
its present dismemberment, and you were tele
graphed of the faot—a fact which would have
awakeoed painful emotion In tbe heart of any ho
nest Democrat—the only excitement visible in your
sordid nature was intense rage at tho cost of the
despatch.
InoAflgraous associations always accompany poli
tical Irregularities. The Administration having
dragged the party Into the .vortex of fire, carries
with it from the North to tho feet of tho Disunion
lots, the place-men, tho men spoiled by long official
life, imbedded fossils, incapable of arousing them
selves to the imminence of the occasion. Tbe young,
brave, and gallant patriots at tbe North are on
the side of Douglas and the country—it Is the mi
litia of *7fl against George 111. It is the revolu
tion of ’9B against John Adams and old Federal
ism. '
At the seat of government of the States in their
united majealy, In a city called for the Father of
h ‘ a oountry, tne presoroe of whose spirit wo oan
readily Jmagi**, “Indignantly frowping upon tho
Attempt to*lienato quo portion of our countrymen
from, the rest,” was whaled a few evenings
stpoe. the speotnolo of his ( mccto*cor inaugurating a
dWUion of his own party—the lam thtoo natloial
that the strife of antagonistic interests j e ft us
a people; the morale of the position Is so low that
no honorable mind oan fathom Its turpitude, Tbe
journals inform us that fire hundred thousand
copies of this address ore to be franked through
the mall to the people. Ton tnousand dollars'
worth of bread snatched from your unfortunate
office-holders—to many of whom submission or
suffering for themselves not only, butfor a helpless
parent, wife, children, Is the only alternative.
' Not to speak of the ethics of the whole transao
tion, the speech Is logically a tangled absurdity.
Here stands tho “ rule or ruin ” chief of Secession,
prating of a united Democracy. Of equality—and
what equality has he recognized but the equality
of a base submission ? Of equity—ho, the nurre of
fraud on the ballot-box. Of union—-the tool of the
Disuuioniits.'
But the essence of your false life and cheating
words Is found (n the next paragraph: “ Every
Democrat la at liberty to votoashe thinks proper. "
Cheers from the crowd of your poor office-holders,
who; of oourso, supposed you meant them; not
dreaming that even yon could have so far forgotten
yourself as to inform tho sovereign citizens that
(hey wero still at liberty to “ vote as they thought
proper.” Having broken up the Convention to
prevent the nomination of Douglas, and the adop
tion . of the .Cincinnati platform, you then, From
the windows of the White House, take a survey of
i the Baltimore and Blobmond candidates and plat
forms, and coolly tell the Democracy, that it is
u immaterial” which way they go.
The “ sustaining pillar, ” the “ two-thirds rnlo,
was ” you say, “ broken to pieces at Baltimore by
tho Convention which nominated Mr. Douglas No!
it was endangered by tho unseomly dictation and
treacherous combinations of the “ old public func
tionary ” who obtained his positiou In that Con
vention four years by tho loyal magnanimi
ty of that Mr. Douglas. You take care, however, ,
to say, nothing of the part you played lu that
transaction. Cunning is the lastfaoulty thatleaves
the disordered mind. The minority that you mar
shalled did not believe that they could defeat the
nomination of Mr. Douglas by remaining in tho
Convention, Ot they oertalnly w< uld havo staid. It
was well known to the minority oblefs that Douglas
would havo received the two-thirds of the entiro
Convention at Charleston, had there been no se
cessfon.Sf Butfthe non-intervention party, unwilling
to take » nomination except by a two-thirds voto
of all the States, adjourned the Convention to Bal
timore. Failing in your plot to make a nomination
upon compulsion at Charleston, you redoubled
your efforts at Baltimore to effeot It or destroy the
party. Your efforts may result in the election of
Lincoln j but, in any event, you will receive the
condemnation of the Democracy of the civilized
world for all time. Influenced by your leading 1
idea of the subservienoy of the people’s Convention :
to Congressional and Executive dictation, you un- I
wittingly state that if your plans had been success
fcl, no nomination oould hare bteo powiblo against »
the will of whom ? tbe people ? Not at all, against
tbe will of “ Congress.”
Did regretful siienoo and modest reserve now in
dicate in you 6omo sense of the errors of your ad
ministrative course, a feeling for our past rela
tions, and that consideration for old age which is
duo, in Innocence or helplessness, would have
claimed thought from me. But your insane Inter
meddling and arrogant dictation, from the posi
tion yon occupy, with the patronage you wield,
make it inoumbent upon overy patriot who knows
you to expose your infirmities, that yonr deceptive
words may have no undue weight, falling from tho
lips of the President of the United States. Your
repeated declaration in London that you were too
ola for the Presidency was but too true. Had I
then known your real age, and some points of cha
racter revealed by tbe touch-stone of power, I should
have avoided my share in the error of your
elevation. Your present shattered condition
of mind has, however, undoubtedly been pre
oinitfttsd by tho accession of a responsibility
which to your view involved only the exercise of a
1 wilful and domineering authority. Uprightness of
heart would bavo saved you even amid the shadows
of a declining intolleot; but your moral obliquity
deprivod you of every stay which tbe virtuous
mind possesses against mental weakness. Io old
ago tho vices and idiosyncrasies of youth, it is said,
often roaume their sway, over long years of in
terested repression Your prophetic quotation
against yourself six years ago has been realized
but too Badly for your oountrymen; would its ful
filment bad found you In tho oblivion of Wheat
land, instead of In the chair of Jefferson:
“ In life’s last state. what prodigies arise—
Fean of the brave. And follies of tho wise;
Down Marlboro’s cheek* the tears of dotage flow,
