The Buchanan Demceracy of South Caroline on the Present Crisis--Which ts the Dis- union Party t Which is the disunion party? We publish this morning a mass of evidence upon the subject, in the proceedings at “the grand banquet and pre- sentation to Preston 8. Brooks, got up by his con- stituents of the Fourth Congressional district of South Carolina,” which took place on Friday last, at Ninety-Six depot, near the weetern border of the State. To our still ineredulous Buchanao democratic readers (be they many or few) who ave straggling hard to comfort themselves with the vain delusion that the Fremont party is the disunion party, we especially commend these de mocratic doings among the Southcra democratic chivalry in behalf of Mr. Brooks and Mr. Bu- chanan. The festival, it will be seen, was a perfect jubi- lee with the constituents of Mr. Brooks. Had he returned crowned with victory fiom the expul- 60 of « foreigm invaler from the city of Charles- ton, he could searcely have been received with a more ¢utlusiastic welcome, aad all for that bloody, savage and revolting assault upon a de- fenceless member writing at his desk in the Se nate Chamber of the United States! The chair- man at this peeullar South Carolina ovation, an- nounced the exereises in honor of Mr. Brooks ia the following oud. first, the congratulatory ad- dress of Gen, McGowan; second, a gold goblet, from thi ens of Abbeville; cbird, a ‘ilver gob! plated with gold on the inside, mm the citizens of the imme- 2 vicinity, who claim the honor of living vear the homestead of Mr. Brocks; thirdly, 2 stick, made by the citizens of Laurens, near Clinton; fourthly, another stick, from a former South Carolina, w a resident of fifthly, a speech from Mr, Brooks; speech from Senator Toombs, of Geor- ntbly, the dinner; and after the dinner, hes. rom the beginning to the end of this splendid programme, it will be seen that fulsome compli- ments to Brooks, and those leading principles of the B nan democracy—niggers, nuliitication, disunion and trea e harmoniously blended Mr. Brooks is exalted as the “ good and faithful servant,” “the guardian angel, Tthuriel,” “immortal in history as Aristides,” gallant representative,” ight hundred jagara,” “Clifton overbalaaced by aud Breekinri * grateful and proud Sonth sir, welcome ba * welcome, sir, th welcome,” “ beautiful gob- et,” “pure go “emblematic of the proud pirit it is given to uphold;” “this cane,” ia- scription, “ Use knock down argumenta,” &., were the staple of Gen MeGowan’s address, who, in this happy effort has quite eclipsed Gen, Quattlebum. Then followed the crowning feature of th ~the spece of Mr. Brooks himself— 4 great speech of the kind—au amiable, modest, graceful and eelf-complacent speech, charged brimful of the sweet clements of treason, disunion together. miles towards the Falls of House, in Canada,” « Buchanan as and Brooks,” Carolina,” “au idye— “we anan de- acy it must be, just at this time, to read this ing speech of their lucky Southern cham- whoee gold aud silver goblets anes, and othr democratic presents, would m of modern democratic ky Mr. Brooks--how for- omes up to the rescue of Mr. Bu- the nick of time.

Fremont may be next President,” in which Mr. Brook ree, “I am for the people, in their ma- law and leaders, taking the power into their own hands, going by coacer not by concert, and laying the strong arm of Southern freemen upon the treasury and archives of the government.” Now, if thisis not preaching treason, armed 1 bellion, disunion and civil war, we should like to know what is. Mr. Brooks, down to this bloody Sumner affair, bore the undisputed character of a high toned, educated, generous and amiable Southern gentleman. But the whole natare of the man was changed by the debaucheries and shocking demoralizations of his party under this infamous Pierce administration. Thus, that inde- fensible assault upon Sumner was not dictated by instincts of Mr. Brooks, the amiable and gen- rows gentleman; it was done by Mr. Brooks, s the misguided representative of that fierce and ruthless raffian democracy which has dyed the plains of Kaneas with the blood of men and help- ‘ees women and children, and which, in defiance of the constitutional rights of the whole American people, now lords it over the whole South in a despotism scarcely lees atrocious than that of Kansas. Thus the democratic party, debauched nto this ruffian terrorism by Jeff. Davis, Atehi- son and Pierce, operates to sink the best instincts, sentiments and feelings of its leaders and fol- lowers, in this derperate policy of a brutal coer- cion of the people into submission, at the hazard of an armed rebellion, disun'on, and the march of ard bearer, He 8 South iz in di with the e says * and “I event | an army of Southern democratic robbers upon the trea wry. There ie nothing new in this speech of Mr. Brooks. The eame sentiments have been preach- ed this whole campaign by Southern democratic orators, South and North; rather more mildly de- livered by Mr. Cobb and Mr. Benjamin in Maino, and by Mr. Cobb and his Georgia colleague, Mr. Johneon, in Pennsylvania, than by Keitt and Wisg in Virginia, or Brooks and Tggpbe in gouth Cwolina—but North aud South this democratic dirunion crusade is sti the same, Even Mr. Yorey, the especial confidence man of Mr. Bu- chenan, preackcs to the frightened people of Pennsylvania that unless his candidate be elect- ed his disunion democratic brethren of the South will ride in blood up to their saddle girtha, The Washington Union, the Richmond Enquirer, the Charleston Mercury, the New Orleans Delia, and other kindred secession organs, have re-echoed the same hue and ery until the whole country is sick and disgusted with their ehameless and drunken clamor, Lynch law, bloody duels, and a prevailing despotism of democratic dema- gogues and harpies have thus been inflicted upon the South; and the free North is still called upon to submit at the hazard of disunion. Where is the remedy? Not with Mr. Bu chsnan, for the nullifiers who rule his party have bound him hand and foot and gagged him, nd placed in bis bands this black fag of nulliti- cation, dieunion and civil war. Not with Mr. Fill- more. He, too, is in this disunion conspiracy. Fresh from the homage of despotic courts in Europe, he returned home to endorse the policy of forcibly sullifying the will of the Ame- rican people should they refase to obey the orders of Southern secessionists, Our only safety is with Fremont. It has become the highest duty of the people to elect Fremont, in order to put the Whole batch of our democratic disunion trai- tors and their abetiors to the practical test of submission or rebellion to the popalar will. The people, in teaching these public disturbers this wholesome lesson of popular covereignty, will si- lence them, save the couuiry, and restore the con- stitution and ibe fraternal reciprocities of the constitution as the supreme law, not alouve of the North, but of the South and the Territories of the West. The late speech of Mr. Banks, at Phila- delpbia, which we published yesterday, and this speech of Mr. Brooks which we publish to-day, afford a fair standard of judgment between the principles and the policy, respectively, of the great consiitutional Fremont party and the de- bauched, demoralized and disunion democracy. In a single word, Fremont is willing to become the servant of the people, and is pledged to bow to their judgment should the people decide against him ; while democratic nullifiers will have their candidate and be masters of the people, or they will break up the Union, rob the public trea- sury, and set up a model republic for themselves. ‘The day approaches when we shall hear from the people. Mone Fravps 1s Fraxce.--By the Arago, which arrived yesterday, we hear of more trouble in the financial world in Europe. This time, the story—which as yet needs confirmation—is that the Orleans Railway Company has been defraud- ed of 1,660,000 francs worth of shares. We hear of no names, dd the rumor was as yet in avague shape; but in the present estate of the railroad market in France, we are disposed to consider the story as very probable. We also hear that im- meuge defalcations in departments connected with the army have taken place in Deniark. Like the affairs of the railroads, these are doubt- lees due to the speculative mauia which has burst ferth throughout Europe. The Orleans road has been for some years one ot the most profitable in France, only second as a ‘dividend paying road to the Chemin du Nord. English capitalists have long puzzled their brains 0 discover the secret of the extraordinary sugeess of there French roads, which have been paying ‘ifteen and twenty per cent per annum, when their own lines could not pay three. They will now be able to understand it better. The French financiers, like our own, have been in the habit of Lorrowing money to pay dividends, and making heir industrial enterprises subservient to their etock operations. The frauds in the Northern end Orleans Railways are only the beginning of a trouble which may not stop short of the total destruction of the financial credit, and even the political institutions of France. Ancupisuor Hewes Our at Last.—The Arch- bishop has written a letter to one of the down town papers to repudiate Master McMasters, and certify that so far as he knows, John C. Fremont is not a Catholic. We are beginning to feel sorry for these poor fellows, MeMasters and Brooks. They are getting kicked from side to side, and cuffed, avd knocked about so unmrreifully that we begin to think of begging uierey v1 their be- half—especially Brooks scared out of his poor wretcned of New Hampshire.

Some men, who want to be Mayors, and think they cannot be under the present plan, want to double their chances by setting up two Mayors instead of one. Others, who bave an eye to commissionerships or eats in the Common Council, desire the change for the same reason. If these men have their way, we shall have twice as many government officials as we now have, and probably still less government. Hitherto our experience has been that the management of our civic affairs has been worse in proportion to the number of the managers; and the conviction of honest minds has been that" the fewer public servants we have, and the closer we group them into a handful for purposes of responsibility, the better shall we be served. We therefore trust that the scheme to divide the city in order to enable this or that patriot to serve his city in the manner he thinks best adapted to his capacity, will be knocked on the head without further delay. Kansas A Stave Stare. According to the Lest accounts, the new Governor, Geary, is mak- ing Koneas a slave State beyond all hope and redemption. We always supposed that this would be the rerult of the new appointment. Jefferson Davis knows what he is about, and he did rot concur in this appointment without ascer- taining bis man, Troveies or run Crry Democracy.—The de- mocracy of this city scem to be in a terrible stew. The friends of Buchanan always calculated on carrying the city by a large majority, but the quarrelg of Tammany Hall render it utterly im- possible for them to get even a plurality of votes. Fremont has now, widoubtedly, the best of the field, and will get a most tremendous majority. The head and front of the democratic supporters of Buchanan here bave been Fernando Wood and some of bis younger friends, such as Dan Sickles and his amiable tail, We understand that a very serious explosion has taken place between these politicians, which will affect the Buchanan vote very much. It seems that Sickles first wanted the nomination for the Third district, with a view to oust General Walbridge. After the death of the late Lorenzo B. Shepard, Mr. Sickles found his patriotiem strongly directed towards the office of Corporation Counsel, with its comfortable salary of from ten to twelve thousand dollarsa year. He tried to get this nomination from the nomi- nating convention, which he himself helped to ap- point, but, strange to say, his own convention preferred another man, and took hold of Richard Busteed, a prominent and talented young lawyer of this city. Oa this Sickles took dudgeon, as very naturally he should, and hence the split iu the convention, Recorder Smith sym pathised with him; John B. Haskin shed tears; Emanuel B, Hart felt as sore as if he had lost his grandfather; and all pitch into Fernando Wood as if he was the great Evil One who had caused all their difficulties and disap- pointments. We rather think that they should pitch into the gallant Busteed, who, however, is well able to take his own part. From these facts it is evident that the Bu- chanan section of the democracy are all quarrelling. Libby, who is a good hotel keeper, but a bad politician, stands on one leg as candi- date for Mayor. A number of nincompoops, who call themselves the Young Men’s Democratic Committee, denounce ihe proceedings of their own convention and primary meetings in the most approved style. When, therefore, we find this democratic convention and democratic leaders turning round and condemning their own machinery as the most corrupt and rotten in existence, we do not see why we should not be- lieve them and take them at their word. In this mélée of conflicting individual interests the chances of Fernando Wood appear to be rapidly gaining strength. According to all ac- counts he will succeed in uniting a prodigious party in his support, without reference to Bu- chanan or other political preferences and con- siderations, People generally are disposed to re-elect him in order to have theyadvantage of his energy, and paet experience in office, qualities which they might not find in a new man. Mayor Wood has not, it is true, done as much as he promised; but the question is whether he could have done better, cramped as he has been by an atrocious system of government, which we hope will be entirely changed by the next Legislature of New York. Fremont in THE Merrovotis.—We verily be- lieve that things are taking such a shape as will give Fremont a large majority in this city against Buchanan and Fillmore. The Buchanan demo- cracy is breaking to pieces in every direction jrom the pure want of inherent cohesiveness. The Fillmore men have for leaders only spoils men and office seckers, in whom the people have no confidence, and the rank and file of both par- ties appear to be disgusted with the old rotten machinery to which they have been harnessed, and are coming out numerouely in favor of Fre- mont. Let it not be forgotten that every man who is for Fremont votes the State or city ticket us his judgment dictates. We recommend every independent citizen who has a soul and a heart and a knowledge of his country’s interests, to vote the Presidential ticket for Fremont—the State ticket for Parker, and the city ticket for Fernando Wood. He must have a difficult taste whom this choice will not suit. Wuo ts To pe THe New Orera Manacen?— We put this question (o the committee and stock- holders of the Academy, Some say that E. P.

Parapetrata, Oct. 8, 1856. ‘The despatch published to-day in the New York papers relative to the Fremont electoral ticket in Pennsylvania, is totally incorrect. The impression is given that a ticket was attempted to be formed; and the statement is made ‘that the Fillmore men refused to co-operate. The follow- ing is the fact:—The repudlicans met for themselves, and by themselves, but the North Americans and Fillmoreites subsequently metthem, aud, without touching the ticket iteelf, they agreed to meet in Philadelphia on the 16th instant, and to form a Union clectoral ticket. The utmost goodwill prevailed on al! sides during the interview.
