The \dmin Is l ratlon and the flints. In commenting upon tho proceedings of the Democratic meeting, held in this county, some weekssiuoc, wo used tho following language ; “A {inferenceof opinion existed as to the pro- i prioty of passing resolutions touching our Feder al relations. The majority, however, thought it wise to give tho Administration the charity of its i silence upon many of its measures. ’’ This has been quoted and hawked about by the \ opposition press with a good deal of gusto and apparent satisfaction. Tim words used express precisely the meaning intended and no more. The policy of the administration in regard to a Pacific Railroad—its abduction of Walker from Nicaragua—its advocacy of a tariff ami educat ing Africans—meet our hearty disapprobation. At tho same tieic.4t would bo unjust and ungou ts rous in tho Democratic party to withhold its support from the Administration in many of its ; leading measures. Could the Democratic party have expected more of the Administration than its noble stand for tho admission of Kansas into the Union with a pro-slavery Constitution? Did not Mr. Buchanan send iu aim ##ag# to Congress urgiug the admission of Kansas, when she first applied for admission? Was not the South sat is licit with his course, and did not praises go up for him from the Southern Rights presses? Were , they not prepared to hoist the tlag of dissolution, if Kansas had been woutonly rejected? Surely •Mr. Buchanan deserves some credit for this or Mr. Douglas deserves no blame? Resides, Mr. Buchanan suppressed the rebellion in l tali in a manlier worthy of praise. Ho settled tho ques tion of the right to search our vessels with tuorc . advantage to American commerce than any other , President. He vetoed the groat land-swindle bill, which appropriated lands to tho amount of six : millions of dollars for Agricultural purposes. Ho I vetoed likewise a hill appropriating a large sum of money to clear out the St. Clair fiats. Thus,, it will bo seen, that his administration has not | been a failure. The Democratic party will “give unto Cicsar the things which are the.-ar's” —they o ill do “justice though the Heavens fall.” They cannot repudiate the administration in toto -neither Can they endorse it unqualifiedly. V proper mean must be observed, which, while it does not commit the parly thoroughly to its sup port, does not condemn it in express terms. The very nature of the ease suggests such a course for Lit*Democracy. It ouu#i#t# with truth, jus tice and integrity aud to pursue any other w -old bo unwise, ungenerous and dinrger>us so the sue cess of our party ovor that, which huß uo other bond of union but tho spoils, nor the dignity <>• bear even a name. Letter ol ,1. L. Fugli, Kw|. Wo have read with ix*al gratification, tho letter of this gentleman to the people of the second Congressional llistrictof Alabama. Ifcjsprecise ly Stuck a letter, as any one acquainted with him, would have expected from his pan thrown oil'in his accustomed, open-hearted and sledge-hummer : wuy. It contains an curnostaud patriotic appual for harmony to the people of the tiourii —conjures LluiM to forego. Uioir petty divisions and partisau f'-llios, and unite as brothers in demanding tile ful measure of thcii* rights. In reply to the questimi, ‘-where lies the safety ->f the South in the Union !” Mr. l’ugh responds, “not in National Organizations,” hut in the union of tho hearts and arms of her own sons, lie thinks that tho only men in the North who arc prepared to conocde to us our constitutional rights, belong t > tho Democratic Party, but he distrusts tho abil ity of any National Organization to preserve the fortress of Southern Bights against sacking by the Abolition vandals. The two systems of civi lization maintained by the Northern and Southern portions of tho Union arc diverse and hostile and cannot be made to harmonize under one govern - ment. The fact that they have eo-existed thus far he explains by referring to the “many Cowpro mise* In which Southern Rights have been Micriticcd upon the altar -d'param unit Union ism i uud National party harmony.” in remedy oft hi* state of things, Mr. I'ugh says:* “Then let us labor together to spearo Union among ourselves, ('ease these disgusting quar rels about party names and discourage strife for party ascendency. There ought to be but ‘-tie party at .the South, and that party should plant n.-d upon the Calhoun doctrine of State Rights; and whenever these rights are invaded or receive no ! protection in the States, and Territories, and up on the high seas, or whenever ;t Black Republi can is elcvtetl President of tho Foiled States, that party should be pledged uninistakeably to a did suluju-n ol the Union, by separata or joint State action.” In conclusion, wo subjoin tbb tvtfo last para graphs of the letter. ‘•I do nnl pretend to claim more for tho dm eratie masses of Alabama than 1 am willing to concede to the musses in this state outside of that organization. Jt is not my intention to institute fttTciisivo comparison, but to induce our people to discard the old party prejudices engendered by pa t struggles, and unite in the preparation of the present dominant party ill Alabama for res istanee by secession, whenever the contingencies happen which I have enumerated.

Thus the General has another issue before him, aud wo think if is more •! :i live issuo than thu ‘direct taxation’ bu*inuss, which, if tho General could succeed in establishing, he would only entail upon himself the execrations of Ilia constituency.

He is a “gone coon,” for after the exceodiiigamount of mischief ho was tho author of, while running wild iu the days of “Tip and Ty,” . and the abominable scare ho guve tlio Democrats, the latter no sooner caught tlio “var mint” than they cut his tail short oft’ (sparing his head) believing it to in- impossible for a Jlob tailcd coon ever to cut up such untie*, raise such a row in thecouulry, and “turn aboutpuid jump about” at such a rate ft* he of the long tail did of yore.
