The Tallahassee Southern Journal, the
Loco Foco State paper of Florida, has a
warm panegyric on Secretary Buchan-
ans late anti Wilmot Proviso letter, and
a ~wheedling leader on "Northern De-
mocracy," from which we make the fol-
lowing extract:
eve would gladly address a word to
the Democratic Party North-to those
who with US are opposed to a Protective
Tariff and a National Bank-could we
venture to hope that anything that we
might speak would reach the ears of our
political brethren north Sf the Potomac.
We would say to them: Be ye only true
to the Constitution and to the South as
touching the rights which that instrument
guarantees to her, and rest assured that
Southern Democrats will not be found
wanting in devotion 10 their principles
norin fidelity TO their party. Far more
than this: If, Vh,ie the Northern Wigs
aoiM one eOice advocate Tie Wilmot Pro
visO, ye Northern Democrats, will boldly
and unequivoeally join the South in sup
port of her constitutional rights, our word
for it, the Wing party in the South will
cease to exist. All Southern men will
be found rallying under our banner-ev-
cry Southern State will be seen fighting
with you, not only against Abolitionism
but against Bank and Tariff. 1t is for
you to say whether you will grapple to
you with hooks of steel the Democratic
party of the South or spurn their alliance
and despise their aid. 1t is with you to
say whether the Democratic party shall
be united and invincible, or divided and

of Northern Whiggery, and this it is, to
wit: their association with a party in the
North friendly to the South, which ha.
given to Southern Democracy its mos

of its principles) to the hearts of the
, Southern people. 1t is for you to sa.
whether we shall continue to occupy thi
