DAILY NATIONAL ERA.

"Ihe Union-- Conservatism. is not long
since one Of our respected New York cotempo-
raries-the Erpress--publisbed . very sensible
and patriotic article, appealing TO the oonscrv-
alive men Of the South to right themselves in
regard to the Nebraska bill--to throw it OH
and fepndiate it--so that they might stand fair
with the old Union men OF the North, OF 1880
memory---in order that they might DO enabled
more ,fectuaily to fight any Union battle the
future might bring forth.
@We do not pretend TO give the words oil the
article--only its general sentiment; and, II we
mistake not, the idea was distinctly conveyed
that Northern conservatism stood very little
chance OF rescue, unless Southern conservation
put itself rectus IN curaa upon the Nebraska
bill, md assisted, IL il did not insist upon, its
adjustment!
Ii Northern conservatism is worth no more
than this--if Northern Union men can be
driven from the support of the Union on ac-
count Of q practical nonentity, pointless
scheme Of heartless demagogue an imbecile
measure Of an ambitious politician then
Northern Union men are not the men we knew
three or four years ago, when the difficulties
that interposed themselves between us and VIC
tory were ten times as great OK those they had
to encounter Their fight for the Union was
but q simple, bloodless skirmish compared to
the desperate struggle we had to make"
We are sure that Northern doughfaces could
not expect better treatment than this; and it
it is to be hoped that they will make haste to
repent Of their sins md return to the fold Of
the faithful All thay have to do, is to acqui-
esce in the Nebraska perfdy as the true prin-
ciple Of the Constitution, and renew their oaths
to the Baltimore platform! Could rebels hope
for better terms? Itis to be understood that
Baltimore platforms, Wing and Democratic,
are designed by their trainers for the protec-
ton Of Southern rights and if the South sees
fit to 60 beyond those platforms in promoting
the interests cfSlavery, it is well and it is the
height Of absurdity in Northern men to talk of
boiling, on that ground. Those who have
had the temerity to oppose measure evidently
designed to promote che spread Of the peculiar
institution, may thank their stars if they are
permitted to ground the arms Of rebellion, and
return to their duty.
The Macon (Alabama) Rspublicaa, bitter
Wing Journal, has q singular proposition on
the subject Of uniting Southern Wings with
the Democracy. The editor speaks in strOg
language against the Nebraska bill, as fraud
upon the South, So, and dstrusts the PROPOSE
ton Of the Democracy to unite with the Wings
In order to test their sincerity, he proposes Mr..
Fillmore as the candidate of the coalition for
the Presidency, with Southern Democrat for
Vice President. How would the Silver Grays
relish copartnership with the filibusters and
propagandists of Slavery on such terms? In
addition to the Baltimore Platform, they will
only have to swallow Cuba, the slave TRADE,
and the Amazon project We heartily COM
mend this proposition to those sober conserva-
tiyes, whose power of seotionalism constrains
them to conquer their prejudices" in favor
Of liberty and humanity. G.
