territory in the South, when the creed of the
perpetualist, shall be the creed of the South
ern States, and eternal Slavery be the bloody
bequest of northern infatuation, then may
party leaders think it time to pause. then
may reckless politicians wish, but wish in
vain, to retrace their steps. The time is
rapidly approaching, when this Union must
wheel into crisis, inevitably, and perhaps
fatally fixed upon her No power short of
Omnipotence could still the tumultuous sea
ofpassion, of pride and revenge, should New
Mexico and California, swell the black area
of human bondage. But who are to stand
upon the watchtowers, to guard the interests
of the free spirits of the North? Not the
Wing party with General Taylor at its
head. Not its impetuous leader, who is
bound by ten thousand considerations to re-
spond to every impulse, and emotion Of the
South. That great duty now devolves upon
the Democracy. Upon the result of next
November's election hang the safety, peace,
and prosperity Of the nation. M.

Dir. Van Buren's Supporters.

So far Us we have been able to learn, a
Van Buren electoral ticket would receive
just fre uotes in this town if the ballot box
es were opened tomorrow. 1t so happens,
however, that all OF these FIVE Van Buren,
men in 164S, were decided anti-Van Bu-
rem naen in 1910 and rabid Clay men in
1914. In declaring their readiness to sup.
port Van Buren, it is possible that some Of
these men are doing so in the hope Of in
ducing democrats to follow their course If
this is their expectation, they will be dis
appointed. The wings have good reason
for bolsing;-their candidate is totally in
experienced in statesmanship-and is not
only Shareholder, but practical slaue
propogamdist. Our candidate, on the 9TH
er hand, has spent forty years Of his life
in the civil departments of government.
Besides this, he is not only opposed to sla-
very in sentiment, but his practice accords
with his profession Ohio Patriot,

Convention, and these men, and these alone,
were noticed by complimentary resolui
ton. We declered them true and reliable
democrats then, and plainly indicated that
aoe would be willing to see either of them
our presidential nominee. Where are these
men now in regard to the Baltimore nomina-
tions? Why they are all supporting, with
hands and hearts, the standard bearers
which the recent Baltimore Convention
made. Old Bullion, one of the fathers of
radical democracy, who was the right arm
of support Of Mr.. Van Buren's administra-
ton, is so thoroughly aroused, that he has
done what he never did before in behalf of
any nominees mounted the stump in behalf
of Cass and Butler. Will any man dare
impugn his honesty and independence? will
any one prove so reckless and unmindful of
truth and fair play, as to say that Thomas
II. Benton of Missouri, the fearless asserter
OF truth, who fears not to assume any re-
sponslbllity, when in his opinion Justice
makes the demand, as to insinuate that he
bows himself, or seeks to urge the democra-
cy of New York to degrade Reconsideration
he, for himself, goes in for the nominees,
and as the oldest and best friend of Martin
Van Buren and Silas Wright, asks the de-
mocracy of the Empire State to do the same?
We cannot, we will not believe, after
patient and unprejudiced examination of
these facts, which defy all special pleading
which must knock down any statement
adverse to them, no matter by whom or
however artfully and unfairly attempted to
be gotten over, that there is any true demo-
crat who will in the end object to voting
for the nominees; or who will prove SO RI
diculously false to all the time-honored usa-
ges of the democratic party, as to violate
them. One word more-which we utter
in no spirit of reproach or hostility, but more
in sorrow than anger,-we predict that all
men protesting to be democrats who oppos e
the Baltimore nominations, or who give al d
and comfort to the enemy by independent t
organizations, will not only become wings,
but, we fear, will bury themselves so deeply
in the grave of political oblivion that resur-
rection will be impossible.

) BOltelS'S Convention,

We have heretofore alluded to the hold.
ing Of the convention Of tho whig and lib
ty mon, boilers, or BarnburDers, by some
called "God and liberty" men, at Colum-
bus, on the Goth and 21st OF June last. But
we find some sketches of the doings Of the
convention in the Ohio State Tribune, q
National reform paper, Of June "a, which
may be Of some interest to our readers
The editor says, ''.here were about 800
persons who took part in the Convention,
about one half wings, the balance Liberty
men, and few Democrats. There was
o warm and lengthy debate on the resolu-
ton that it is inexpedient to nominate q
candidate for Governor. During the de-
bate, it was enquired Of the wings of the
Reserve if they would vote for Ford, (whig
candidate for Governor IN case he declar-
ed his intention to vote for Taylor,-the
answer was, they would, they would join
with tho convention in a national nomina-
ton only;-this seemed to determine the
question, and the resolution passed."
"We attended the Convention both days,
and heard, we believe, all the speakers who
spoke. There was grea. deal said about
Free territory, free soil, free labor and
fraternity" and many eloquent and touch
ing appeals made TO arouse the sympathies
of the Convention and the world, in favor
of the negro slave in the distant Southern
states,-but not word Of lament did we
hear, on the condition of the wages slave
Of the North, whose misfortunes and dis
tress for the want Of a homestead, has dai.
ly met the eye Of these speakers for years.
The factory operative, who tolls for l2
or Is hours a day,-the female who sews
from Is to 20 hours q day for bare SUBJ
sistence,-and the laborer who builds hou.
ses and clears lands to be ruthlessly torn
from him by the speculator and money
shark, received no word cf consolation of
a "better day coming Nor did those
who dwelt so eloquently upon the words
&C Free territory. j ree labor and fratermity,"
as we could discover, mean anything more
by free territory. than the exclusion of
slavery from i,,-by free labor than that u
man should be left to work for the capital
sts or starve,-by fraternity than the
dining in opposition to Cass and Taylor"
So no candidate for Governor was nom.
mated, and the nomination of q candidate
or President was deferred to be made at
to be held at Buffalo, N. Y, on
he 9th Of August, with view to unite with
he N. Y. Barnburners and the sbolters' Of
2ther States.

WITHDRAWAL OF Mr.. R.HALE.-The Ma.
Tional Anti-Slayery Standard says that
Senator JOHN P. HALE, the abolition can
didate for the Presidency, will without doubt
withdraw in favor Of the Barnburner's
nomination. In case this statement proves
true, the Taylor dough- faces may abandon
their last hope Of carrying any of the old
whig states in New England. The ad'
vice Of Giddings at the Massachusetts con-
vention, on the 25th Of June, will be fol.
lowed both there and in Vermont and the
anti-Taylor wings will unite in the sup
port of Mr.. Van Buren,. This course will
reduce the whig vote SO low that the con-
test in those states will be between Cass
and Van Buren.-O. Patriot.
Mr.. Greely,. the editor Of The New York
Tribune, who is as yet undecided as to the
course he will pursue in relation to the
Presidency, advises those wings who ore
determined TO break with their party on the
late nomination for President at Philadel-
phia, that they had better vote for Mr.. Van
Buren than get up another candidate.
The use to was aohigs of this section, (bui
who have lately sold out the party with all
its property, real and personal, ,and ransfer.
red themselves over TO the zone idea" par.
ty,) will undoubtedly follow the advice and
form the Van Buren party here. And the
same course will doubtless be pursued in
nearly or quite all the Northern States.
Thus, it will be seen that the "whigs," who
have been such great sicklers for s'princi.
ple," and who regarded Mr.. Van Bufen's
policy as SO destructive and ruinous to the
country in 1910, are to become his sup
porters and admirers in ls48. 1t is true,
these recent worshippers Of Mr.. Van Blu:
rem reckon largely upon great detection in
the democratic ranks, but as ye, there is
no evidence Of it. Not one Of the democrat
ic papers Of this State have referred to the
recent course of Mr.. Van Bsren in terms
Of approval, and, as far as we can learn,
there is but one sentiment porsading the
democratic masses in relation TO it, that Of
unqualified disapproval. They regard it,
and rightfully too, rs an effort on the part
of the disorganizers, to defeat the election
Of Gen. Cass, who is a Northern man by
birth and education, and to secure the elec.
ton of Gen. Tagaar who is STAKEHOLDER
and slavery extensionist of the Calhoun
school.
