London (United Kingdom) (search for this): chapter 76
Democracy in London. this is an age of new loves and unwonted affections. That must have been a curious concatenation of events which has brought our Democratic Party into such high favor in Printing-House Square. When it was young and wickedly vigorous, the queer old women who create public opinion in England always denounced it as dangerous and disreputable; and it is only now when its vices have brought it to a premature dotage, with no virility to improve its fortuitous conquests, that they have suddenly grown in love with its stammering speech and shattered corporation. Our readers must pardon the peculiarity of the figure, for the sake of that emasculation which can only thus be indicated. The London Times suffers itself to be cheated by majorities as fortune-hunters allow wealth to hide decay and infirmity; and fancies that if the Democratic Party was once more dominant in Congress, our feuds would be in a fair way of adjustment. This is an eminent instance of forgetf

have agreed that American Democracy was but another name for license and the synonym for anarchy. Can any one doubt, when The Times thus suddenly shifts its key-note, and affects to be in love with what it considers to be the popular party in America, that it cares for nothing but a change in the Administration, and patronizes our opponents because they would be least likely, if in office, to negotiate a lasting and honorable peace? It is strange that even the most distant observers should nity of the Nineteenth Century. Strong in their monopoly of a single agricultural staple, they boasted of their power to change the religious convictions of great empires by sordid influences and pecuniary temptations. The Northern States of America were not to be deluded into so much as a quasi endorsement of cruelty and barbarism even by old associations and cherished traditions, and still less by gross and direct appeals to the pocket.

They instituted an experiment, not only upon the morality, through material interests, of the Free States, but upon the integrity of Great Britain. They revolted not against the Federal Government, but against the Christianity of the Nineteenth Century. Strong in their monopoly of a single agricultural

man-owners were more fortunate abroad, where we should have supposed the speculation would have been more desperate. It is at this juncture that England invokes the aid of her old enemies, the American Democracy, and tempts them to an utter abnegation of honor and honesty. It is now in a spirit of pure selfishness that she hints to them that by bated breath and whispered humbleness, by unlimited concessions and a thorough-paced flunkeyism, they may secure their own power and advance her prosperity. The leading journal of Europe, as some have called it, is hot ashamed to stimulate what remains of the dough-faces to lower cringing and ingenuities of humiliation. It would use as the wheedled instrument of its selfish purposes, the very party which yesterday it affected to despise, and unquestionably detested. We do not think that political scheming has ever made a baser or more ludicrous descent than this, even when under the influence of commercial appetites. November 19, 1862.
James Buchanan (search for this): chapter 76
hey likely now to heed in the heat of insurrection, voices to which, in the calmness and solemnity of high counsel, they turned an utterly deaf ear? We do not question the willingness of Northern Democrats to do whatever service the feudal lords of the South may prescribe, as the tenure of the old tugs at the Treasury teats. But however willing the Seymour party may be to be bought, the rebels are not yet desperate enough to buy them. What, indeed, could a new Administration of the bad Buchanan variety offer, which could tempt these traitors back to loyalty? When with hasty passion they repudiated all Constitutional obligations, they gave up a legislative and judicial power far greater than that of the North, but still not great enough to satisfy their most unreasonable appetite. It was not enough for them to be potent in practice, but they insisted on being considered omnipotent in theory. We caught and surrendered their fugitives; we gave them in spite of prescription a faire
