WHERE DOES lie STAND!

of the Southern States Right party, has
lately written letter to Mr.. Fisher of
the Soufieya Press, in which the follow
ing paragraph occurs:
"As for us---anh speak for Southern Rights
Dcmocrals--w shall not be easily driven from
the support Of the ticket of our creation and
choice. Nothing can drive us oft short of the
discovery that the insane policy OF Gen CaSs is
Ia be triumphant in its councils, and that Frank
lin Pierce is that sort ola Union man that bases
the hopes Of the perpctuity OF the Union upon
thu gums Of the rights. independence, and soy
errirnty Of the States"
The great secret then is ..out at last.
Gen. Pierce is the ''creotion md choice"
Of the Southern States Rights Locofocos
the "creaion and choice" of those
men who contend for the ri ght of any
State to seceed from the Union when
ever it sees proprietor the right to dis
solve this glorious Union. cemented by
the blood Of thousands Of brave hearts
from North and South, East and West.
III" right to tear the American stars
one by one from their bright galaxy,
and scatter them hithcr and thither.
Where does Gen. Pierce stand! He
stands the "creation and choice of the
Southern States Rights Democrats. the
men who were opposed to the Compro-
mise measures of the last Congress by
which the Union was saved from disso-
luton.
Lrt us now turn to the Northern Fac
tioHiSt$. and soc whore he stands among
them. The Evening Post, the Locoioco
Abolition paper Of New York SAYS:
oil Gen. Scott and his friends had continued
t. stand where they stood when we wrote. and
If he Lad not accepted nomination on a tinali-
~ platform, Their" is no doubt that any OF the
prominent candidates before the Demo-! attic
Convention would have been defeated by him.
Bat now he is presented as the express cham
pion al "inalry," Of which there is not a ,rord in
the hGm0rfa'ir Platform. The very sentiment
"!ll'l NbNiu nave gwen SC0ll strength. II lie
had adhered TO the principles oithe party which
presented hun, will now. and ought 10. enure to
the benefit Of Pierce. whose abstract notions of
slavery are quite as liberal and just as any ever
prolesSed by Gen. Scott, and whose general no
tons OF government command our unqualified
admralion.'
Now we ask all honest, patriotic men,
who are not willing to sacrifice the dear
est interests of their country for the
sake OF mere party aggrandisement, to
examine calmly and seriously the ground
upon which Gen. Pierce stands, and
then ask themselves, whether or not
they can support him for the high office
of President Of the United States. Will
YOU help to place at the head of affairs a
man whom the Southern Disunionists
tell you to your face is their "creotioa
md choice,' sand whose general notions
of Governments" say Northern Adolf
tionists "command our unqualified I'D.
miration ;"
Mr.. Forsyth says, "nothing shall drive
lis oil from the support of the ticket of
our own choice and creation, short of
the discovery that the INSANE POLL
Lf OF GEN. CASS is to be triumphant
in its councils" The "poIicy" here
referred too is the advocacy by General
Cass of the Compromise measures Of
the last Congress, and his Remuneration
Of disunion and secession. TO this
"polcy of Cen. Cass"-this "policv'
which has saved the Union from d:sso
mtion-NIr. Forsyth is opposed; and he
emphaticaiIy declares, that, Tthis poll
cy is TO be triumphant IN the councils o.
Pierce and King, he and his Southern
Rights friends niH be drircn from TIN
support ctt ticket, though it is thei
"creation and choice.'
Democrats we ask you to view calmly
and dispassonately the position of you
candidates. The "creation and choice
Of Southern Disun,onists, of the men
who ior the sake of carrying out thei
ianatlcal opinions would involve tn
country in civil war-of the men VIII
denounce Gen. CAss because of bis ad
vocacy OF the Compromise, and publicI
boast that tie" "hamds sped the shut
