THE NORTH AND SOUTH STANDING TOGETHER,
from rHE sAvAssAa REPUBLICAN.


THE NORTHERN VoTE.-ZAcHARy TAYLOR is
President elect of the United States. He was nom-
mated and has been run on broad national grounds,
having for his platform the constitution, his object
the greatest good of the greatest number OF the Anne
rican people, and his constituency the moderate
and conservative men of the country. He is In
debted to no particular section or locality for his
success, having been supported with the same zeal
and unanimity in the North, the East, the South
and the West. Nor has he received the entire vote
of either section in the above-named divisions. In
the South, for example, he gets Maryland and
loses Trgiaia North Carolina and loses South
Carolina Georgia and loses alabama florida
andlosss Mississippi; Louisiana and loses Texas;
Tennessee and loses arkansas ) Kentucky and
loses Missouri. The same is true at the East and
the North. Reckoning Delaware with the free
States, he gets eight out Of the sixteen Northern and
Eastern States. II appears, therefore, that Gen.
TAYLOR has been supported by all sections OF the
country Indebted to no particular local influence
for his success, but deriving efficient support from
all parts Of the Union, and obtaining majority Of
the electoral UoteS both North and South Of Mason
and Di2on's line, heiS as emphaticayt the President
Of the Nation as he ,oas the candidate Of the Peo-
pile. He received sixty-sx electoral votes in the
South, and nlnety-seven in the Northern States,
being majority in both divisions.
But the object of this article was to express our
appreciation of the course which the North has pur-
sued in this election Our friends in that section
have conducted themselves nobly, and we congratu-
late the whole country, and especially the friends
of union and harmony, upon the magnanimity with
which they have acted. Being largely in the ma
jority in the Philadelphia Convention, they had 1t
in their power to nominate whomsoever they
pleased yet they not only submitted to the nomi-
| nation Of Southern man and large Shareholder,
but partly assisted in it. And when the nomna-
ton had been made, they entered upon the canvass
with cheerfulness and determination worthy OF all
| commentator, and have crowned their patriotic
labors by giving the old planter of Louisiana ninety
seven electoral votes. In all this we see an evil
dence Of attachment to the Union, desire to re-
store peace and harmony in the councils Of the ma
ton, and devotion to the country, the whole coun-
try, and nothing but the country, which cannot but
be productive of the most beneficial results. The
| Union must be PRESCRIBED! And the North, in hel
generous support of Gen. TAYLOR, and the South
in her equally jealous support of Mr.. FILLMORE
have each given solemn pledge to the nation and
| to the world that 1T SHALL BE DONE
| We congratulate the country, therefore, and the
friends of rational liberty and repubicanism every
where, upon these suspicious indications. We
have much to make US rejoice. From small anc
feeble colony, we have rapidly grown into gigantic
manhood; and now that we have reached that poin
in civilization and advancement when we are pre-
pared to enjoy fully the blessings of free consti
tuition and equal laws, shall we dash our brigh
prospects to the earth We answer emphatically
| No! We say, Z" onion nop and forever . for un
der the Union we are what We are. Este perpetual
