The I’etipleN Party This is the stylo of tho now parly which ha* recently beon formally organized in Virginia aud Kentucky in opposition to the Democracy of tho nation. It* object, hut poorly disguised, is to secure the offices and share tho spoil* of the oov eminent. It enunciates no grout principle, nor does it condescend to hint in what way its avow ed objects, which all good men desire, hut which it impudently appropriates, may ho utluined. Ac cording to the Louisville Journal; it* platform consist* of “three affirmative planks. First, pre serve tho Union aud chuck disunion tendencies; .Second, give peace to the nation on the slavery question; Third, give it tin economical adminis tration of its affairs.” It would be the most su perlative foily to think that any sane man, at the South could object to the last plank in this struc ture. It is, of course to the interest of the turifi beneficiaries in the North to desire an extrava gant and wasteful expenditure of the public treas ure; hut with us who “loot tho bills” there is, and ever must he, a perfect unanimity of senti ment in favor of an economical administration of tho Government. The two first plauks have been incorporated into every platform, whether Whig. American or Democratic, thut ever was construct ed. Thu point of diil'uruuuo has been u* to the manner in which they are to he made prac ticaily operative m the legislation of tho country. Tlm Southern Rights Democracy have contended that the Union could ho best preserved and a qui etus given to the slavery question by a dctcruii nation on the part of the South to resist any und every aggression upon Uur right iu reference to that subject, and, furthermore, they preferred disunion, attended even with all the horrors with which weak minds have invested it, to suhmis ioh to wrong. Their opponents huve preferred the policy of surrendering, and renewed aud ag gravated abolition agiiution has ever followed their success. That this policy would be illus trated in the practice of the new party, may ho interred as well trout their studied abstiuoueu from allusion to the subject as from the antecedent* und character of sumo of its originators tuui champi on*. We involuntarily associate the idea of sub mission with the name of John Minor Bolts, and if the Louisville Journal ever advocated a posi tion that squinted at. “standing up” wo have yet to learn it. The Journal says, that “the propo sition is addressed to all men of all parties and see lions, who are neither abolitionists nor disunion- IMS.” Now, how many men at tho North are thus addressed, outside of the Democratic party! 1 Not one in every thousand ! True there aro some iu that party for whom we care so little that we would be .almost willing to see them join this motley group : but that, they would thus he com mended to the cordial embrace of Southern men, or could lie much improved by political affilia tion, with such men aB Bolts and Prentice, are ideas too romantic to be seriously entertained.- A national organizat ion, then, is possible, only on the supposition that 4hey will be able to find re eixiits in the abolition party of the North. Some of these might be induced to drop their present designation aud, with a platform of such broad and ambiguous meaning, join the ‘‘People’* par ty but. “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”- and so would carrion.
