"a crisis is approaching that must, if it cannot
be arrested, soon decide whether order and good
government shall be preserved, anarchy and
confusion | can most religiousy aver |
have no wish that is incompatible with the dig,
nifty, happiness, and true interest of the people OF
this country. My ardent desire is, and my aim
has been, as far depended upon the Executive
Department, to comply strictly with all our en-
gagements, foreign and domestic; but to keep the
United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to see them independent
OF all and under the influence Of none. In a word
want an american character, that the powers of
Europe may be convinced we act for omselpes
and not for others. This, in my judgment, ia the
only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the parisans of Great
Britain France, create dissensions disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever
the cement which binds the Union.'

those OF the WHIGs to the policy Of Mr.. FILL
MORE in regard TO the measures of Adjustment.
In other States they carried the elections by
open and scandalous coalitions with men whom
they pretend to believe enemies of the public
peace and of the Constitution and Union. The
DEMOCRACY have now lost the prestige of being
the fmest friends of the Compromise, and are
thrown entirely upon their coalitions with the
Abolitonsts at the North to retain their i'll
gotten ascendency. AT the South, we cannot
say that the DEMOCRATIC party have joined
the Secessionists--we say that they are Seces-
sionists-if we can place any reliance on the
language of the Democratic journals and con
ventions, and the fierce war which they wage
on all presses and politicians that oppose the
dangerous and alarming heresies in this regard
which have been incorporated In the Southern
Democratic creed
In running our eye over the political board
Just at this moment, we think that the Wines
have entirely the best show for success. Ad-
herring as they will to the policy of President
FILLMORE in regard to the Compromise, they
will stand opposed to party not only hostile
to the Compromise, but in their policy and mea-
sures hostile to the Constitution and Union Of the
States. The Democracy, indeed, cannot put
candidate in the field who is not the candidate
alike of Abolition and Secession-not dormant
and mactiue Abolition and Secession; but tri
umphant, insolent, and dictatorial Hence it
is that we see much reason in the despondency
manifested ia the ranks Of the Democracy,
and in the encouraging tone and temper of the
WING journals and popular conventions.
