The Real Issues.

Since the entire shifting of ground which
was achieved by the Accommodation De.
mocracy at Montpelier, it is moro than ever
lmPcetant that the real points in issue at the
approaching election should be clearly I'M
derstood by every freeman. The voter is IL
able to mistake the party which nominated
Yipiothy z RedGeld as in some sense den-
teal with the late Free Soil party. lie may
be led to suppose that in voting for the Sec
on Montpelier nominee, he Is sustaining at
scast some portion of his old Free Soil prin.
ciPlea This is an error that requires to bc
exposed. This i. dolusion from which we
would protect honest people.
In voting the Old Line ticket, no man is
liable TO any mistake ms to the effect of his
vote. Everybody understands that the par
" which nominated john S. Robinson is the
same party which gorics in its support of
Cass for the Prcsi,lcncy--E Polk, Texas
and the Mexican War. They have not
changed front. Where they Stood years a
90, they stand now. They claim the Com
promise measures as their thunder. They
give the Compromise nm unqualified APPROX.
al anil support Whoever votes their ticket
does the samc besides endorsing their free
trade, Acknowledgements principles.
Here all is open, fair, and above-board. The
hoofs and horns are undisguiscd.
But the other Democracy ha, assumed SO
many DISCUSSES it has been 50 continually
remodclling its gsrh, that many win uu,
doubleday be deceived, Equivocation and
deceit are It's proper vocation. 1t wants
Free Soil votes. 1t wants Locofoco votes.
II wants Free Democratic, Liberty, and
WING votes. 1t expects to get them. In
spite Of all expositions of its dupliciiy, it
undoubtedly uiU get some from all these di-
verse and conflicting parties.
The Accommodation Democracy, in one
quarter, puts on Free Soil aspect In an
other, their countenance wears the sly Loco
foco leer. Elsewhere they have a demure
and gracious look, very winning to Liberty
people. Face 10 face with Free Democratic
brethren, they laugh like Roman ausurs O.
yer their oracular imposturcs. For Wings,
they put on an air Of great Indifference a.
to all "minov things" but one of grent con.
Germ for the welfare of the poor slave, and
OF rerroachful indignation towards Webster
and Fillmore, because they have not ere this
abolished the "cursc of Slavery" through
out the land.
Throughout all .bese masks and hypocrit
ical DISCUSSES, however, it is not difficult (ior
one who will take a little palms, to discover
the main drift of this party, and whittier
its pilots are endeavoring to steer the ship
The purpose of rc-ataching themselves tc
the old Polk and Texas Democracy is dis.
iinetly avowed in many quarters, and. a
mong the leaders, is undoubtedly entertained
IN all. This i, how their aim and their onl,
am. They care for nothing now SO mucl
as the triumph of the National Democracy
and their prospective claims to a share Of th,

The position of the Wings being what i
