The Federal presses are trying by every species


Of art ana dctestable intrigue, 10 produce schsm


in the Democratic party. They hope by this


means to recruit their own shattered and routed


forces. At the South they try to persuade the
friends of Mr.. Calhoun that they have been badly
treated by the new President whilst the same


efforts are making at the North on the friends of


Mr.. Van BURN. To accomplish this object,


they conceal facts in some instances, misreprcscnt


them in Others and in some tell down right false


hoods-thry pretend to be the especial friends


and guardians to these distinguished gentlemen,


and with this hypocritical cant upon their lips


and the demon of a tauler and tale-telIer in their


hearts, they secretly exclaim cart thou in health


my brother" We fear they will never reap the


reward of blessed are the peace makers" pro-


missed in Holy Writ. We are tempted TO tell


them TO e cease viper you bite fle': : but would


it not be cruel to deprive the kind hearted souls


of this sole consolation particularly as many of


them, from want Of ability and more elevated


opinions, never aspire to any thing higher than
dischargng bile about offices, the spols party,
public punder and other congenial notions ofa like
kind. But ultimately all these hallucinatons of
splits and divisions must vanish into air and turn
to ashes on their lips: The Calhoun men of the
South are too intelligent and highminded 10 be
cajoled by such fimsy tricks, or guided by such
selfish and unworthy motives. They ask nothing
at the hands of the President except that he
should carry out the doctrines and principles of
the democratic party. So long as these are his
guide, they will continue to support and sustain
l. H. 80 Al


ask nothing more. Mr.. Polk during his four
years, will know no Calhoun man or Van
Buren man, neither will such be his inquiry,-but
does he belong to the great democratic family
who have conducted this government to its pre-
sent elevation and distinction among the nations
of the world Calhoun men, Van Buren, men,
Johnson men, united on prineip lie will all con-
stitute Roman phalanx to meet and overcome
the enemies of the country al each successive
election. But how long will these false prophets
continue to foretell dissenions and divisions in our
ranks? Are they not weary of waiting for the
ful6lment OF their prediction2 Or do they not
yet see that the wish was father to the thought?
During the whole of last year they were croak-
ers Of ill-omens to the successful party. They
could see their own forces united and in fine
spirits whilst they proclaimed that their oppon-,
ent were distracted and weak-here an Arnold
openly deserving, and there an Achilles resting in
inglorious Indifference upon his arms The
result proved how badly they had deceived their
readers ..


T. Loring, orator Shinn and one or two others
whose names are not worthy of recollection,
these par mobile tr0tr~m were the only deserters
from the Republican faith out of seventeen mil.
lions of freemen. And yet these editors con-
tinue to see brols dssentions and divisions in our
ranks They charge that MIR, Calhoun has re-
tired from Washington with dissatisfaction clay
not that fattering JUNCTION to your soul for do
you not know that Mr. Polk offered him the
mission to England, which was refused from a
desire to retire to his farm2 Onthe contrary he
expresses the strongest confidence and appreciation
Of the new admnistratioR-and this after having
several confidential interviews with the President
