Of electing, so long as the democrats hold
their extreme position on this exciting
guestion--a position that the anteccdents

warrant. They have taken this position
for the purpose of influencing the Presiden-

odium Of electing black republican Speak
err on the American party, but the election
of Mr. Fuller, after the defeat of Messrs.
Campbell and Banks, would most eiTectual-

MIR. Fuller is a national man, and al.
though opposed to the Nebraska bill, is al
so opposed to the darling project of the re-
publicans, that Of re-enacting the Missouri
compromise. Had the democrats taken a
less fanatical and more conservative nation
