gain to has section he submitted to have his opn-
ions misrepresented with hope it would place him in
the Presidential chair in 1913 This is ready trading
Presidential capital, and the reesoi States control
Congress, may assume that as the hare they lsiH
continue to eontrolit against, Sharery.
But this is not the only capital the North has to
trade on. There is the great freesoil and abolition in
fuence to bug ap This requires neither money nor
scrp-a positive declaration Prerent The Extension
Of Slavery, is the price paid for that influence.
We shall say nothing about old parties-whig and
democratno farther than necessary to present our
points painly. We simply say then, that the whig
party North intimately ,os sag surely, identified
with abolitonisn, than the democrats-but they are
both, essentially rotten. The Hon. Robt Toombs of
Georgia says:
.Its acknownedged exponent is the Freeson
party but it is also yirulent and dangerous, both
in the Whig and Democratic parties at the North.
The Wing party has succumbed toit and it con
trolls the organization of that party in every non
saYeholdng States in the Union 1t is thorough
y denationalized and secGonaiized by it, and viii
never make another national contest The wbig
party of the South will never meet the Stewards
and Winthrop's and Vnton's, and Johnson's and
BaIdwin's of the North, in another national con-
yention. We are indebted to the defeat of the po-
ment this day. We shall trust them no more.
The Democratic party of the North though
prostrated, is not yet utterly destroyed by this
same cause The Freesoil element sways the par
ty triumphantly in Massachusetts,, and to a very
great extent throughout New England. 1t has
annihilated it in New York and controls it in Ohio
But the majority of that party in New Jersey, Pen
nsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, are as vet
unsubdued, and are still capable of a mighty eff
fort for the Constitution and the Union
Our true policy is to compel both parties to
purge themselves Of this dangerous element-ifw we
expect to preserve the country, we must overthrow
both and rally the sound men of both parties to
common standard This is the only policy. which
can preserve both our rights and the Union Let
US steadily pursue it.
This is introduced as autborjty. Onths assumption
then, take the position that the wings Of the North
WILL NOT ATTEMPT A REGULAR NATION
AL ORGANIZATION. They need no such organi-
zaton to secure success. They will erect platform
upon which the aJoitoaist and reesoi can ount to-
gether and this will draw from the ranks ofthe Dano-
cratic party votes enough in every free State to make
success certain Is this not reasonable. Van Buren,
got over 100000 in n. York, in I848 and the party
that voted for him, operates with the party that
voted for Cass-and the party that sustained Seward,
sustains the administration of Fillmore. What is
true of New York is equally of every free State
Having shewn that the Northern wings viii make no
advances toward National Organzation-that it is
unnecessary, viii now say what the reader cannot
have failed to discover before this The 50 electoral
votes marked doubtful viii fall waif to tie free
soilers.
The policy of the Northern Democratsis is to get up
National Organization. Without it, they are power
less. With it they are doomed to a defeat as over
whclmng as that of 1910. In the first place the great
staple Of the Union party is arHg-and it will sustain
no Northern Democrat. In the Second place the
great sople ofthe Southern Rights party is democrac
and it cannot control Southern State. So it is i'm
possible FOR the Northern Democracy to travel.
Were every slave State to concentrate its vote upon
Southern candidates. they still powerless. They
cannot buy up the New England States with promises
Of increased protection to home manufactures for that
is laying a tar on Southern iadlstry. They cannot
buy up the West with promise to vote money for IN
bTaal improgneats, for that like protective tariff is
only carried out by taxing the labor of the South
We have shewn that the Democracy is powless. We
have also shewn that the South Is powerlass.
Now let Us see the tendency of the Union party, ant
where it will attempt to guide the South This Uno1
party is under the influence ofrhjgs-we mean mod
ern feraI acbgs and its tendency will be shapet
by the old ederalbue lights If it shall not fail intl
the support of Free SOIL Northern Abolition Whigi
sympathies will be so enlisted in the contest that
one can reasonably entertain hope, that it woul
not defend and apologize for the Of their North
0 ern friends. In fact, were Southern party organ
ze the principle of legitimate resistance to such
party, the cry of treason would go up from the Unio
camp, and there would be an hundred Foote's sprin
up to preserve this GLORIOUS Unon of Free soil Alb
oitionism-Glorious Union.
1t is clear then, that the Union party is the danger
Gus party, not only to the South but the Union itsel
The Northern freesoil abolition wings, now under
stand that they have party at the South at all time
ready to defend them, will push the Of aggresso
to the very extreme. They may force the Union pa
ty to resistance, but no one believes it possible.
But let us see where the Southern Union party wi
fall if it falls at all We have said that the Norther
wings were sure ofsuccess fthey erected platfor
" ample enough for the abolitionists to mount Th
they will do.
We have said that the Democrats were bound III SC
defence to court Southern votes. Without them d
feat is sure 1.-THE Democrats erect platform Sout
ern enough for the South, the Democrats of the Nor
will 90 off one side fast the Southern men mou
up the other side. The Union party presented WI
three alternatives. The first is to join their natur

their votes for good and true Southern men giving
