The cy-oafstanding Candidates
Policy Oh a Free Election In 1856.
The late national wing party was annihila-
ted in 1852 The New YORK HERALD freely
gave helping hand in the work Of that terri
bic and conclusive defeat. Now. agreeably to
cur appointment by the Cabinet as the lead
ing organ Of the new opposition party" ii shall
be our business to aid in the national and con-
stitutional policy Of demolishing this Cabinet
spells coalition party at Washington. and these
national conventions of Juggling spoilsmen.
Our reasons for this course are simply these
that the administration has repndiatGd and
abandoned the great national principles upon
which ii was elected; that it has planted itself
upon the platform Of an unholy alliance of Sc
cessionists and free sellers; and that It's organ
at Washington has boldly confessed that the
Baltimore Convention was but miserable
oabal Of hungry contestants for the spoils and
the Baltimore platform nothing more than
dexterous swindle OF the American people.
We are. therefore, in favor Of the largest
liberty to the people in the campaign OF 1856,
in their Judgment upon the merits of all the
outstanding candidates, and all that may yet
turn up for the succession. The full value of
the elective franchise in the choice Of President
can only be secured by the people in q
free campaign to al the candidates, old aud
new, great and small soldiers and civilians, OF
ell stripes and shades. and Of all parties and
factions political religious, socialist, or iu-
fdel.
TO this republican programme all the signs
of The times are pointing. There is no other
plan by which more than third of the ont
standing candidates can ever expect to have
tue privilege Of a run before the people for the
White House and tie public plumber. Let the
hold-over candidates who have been waiting
for four. eight, twelve sixteen, or twenty years,
reflect upon the shortness Of human life and
the uncertainty of national conventions of
hucksteTing spoilsmen, and contrast their
chances there with the advantages OF free
campaign. Let them reflect and they are with
us The following is list of candidates, near
ly all IL not the whole Of whom may be coz
sdered as aspirants for the succession-
