will state Che remarked) fairly, freely,
and fully what we expect. We erpect to make
the Democratic yarty Of ttts State tie great An
ti-Slauery party Of the State, and through 1t, to
make the Democratic party of the United
States, the great aRti-Starery party OF the INIT
ed States. Those who do not contemplate
this result will do well to get out of the way;
for there is 10 doubt that, when our princi-
Piles get fairly before the people, so that they
can hear them, and know what they are
and we have made arrangements for that
now-that the whole people will 90 with us.
And our Southern friends, having had things
all their own way for the last twenty-five or
thirty years, must make up their minds to let
as haze our Oon tcay for while, we being fair
men, and reasonable in our demands.
Again, the same year.
i have had occasion to say heretofore, that
icould not support any man for the Presidency
'icho does not 6eIiere Slavery TO be an Uamtgated
eui, and ,cho ,viu not use all The pOrer clich tie
constitution and LacS may place IN his hands for
ats orerthrov. Iwould give notice now, that
the general Judgment of the people of this
State is, that they cannot and will not swerve
from this position; and, as for me, | shall
live and die by it.
The Van Burens and Co., it is we'll known
have acted a conspicuous part in the affairs
Of State and National politics-for long
time. No one will have the temerity to as
sert, now, that these "worthies'' have found
their way to high places, in consequence of
the superior merit they possessed, over other
men of their times, knowing, as every intel
lgentman viii admit, that is was by dint of
their superior management, as time serving
tacticians, the wholesale duplicity practiced
upon the more credulous of their party-that
they obtained the unenviable notorety they
now possess.
The American people became tired of Van
Buren, and Co., in 1910, and hurled them
from their high places, with merited rebuke,
and consigned them to the quietude of life to
revel in the spoils that had drained the Ma
TONS Treasury, and driven the Government to
the very verge of Bankruptcy.
Hear, Prince John, in the above extracts
when his father (ReynardD was an abolition
candidatefor the Presidency, and he the mod
est advocate of his claims.
We now behold this band of political wire
workers" warm and enthusiastic in the sup
port of Gen. Pierce.
Why is this Is it because they have
found in Gen. Pierce, as was asserted by
their co-adjutor Haynes, tire embodiment Of
their views! The willing instrument to aid
them in making the "great Democratic party
of New York, the Great Anti Slavery
party of the United States 20 Aye, and make
all who do not contemplate those results, "get
out of the way!''
Prince John has warmly embraced the man
who lodthes the Fugitive Slave Law-and
whose heart reuolts at the idea of giving up
a slave under the provisions of Constitu-
tional Law of Congress. And now, permit
us to submit to the candid judgment of every
lover of thu. Union as it is, to every man who
regards the "Compromise Measures as a
salutary adjustment, and final settlement OF
Slavery agitation" if such men, entertaining
as they do, views Numerically opposed to
those measures, can be trusted with the adj.
ministration of lays which they loathe and alb
