The Albany Atlas, heretofore devoted to the
administration, and q leading organ Of The
New York Democracy, pitches incontinently
into the ashington Union for debating to the
New York Democracy, that " the principle Of
the Kansas bill furnishes the only sure and
peaceful solution Of the slavery question: The
Atlas, at the close of an article the reverse of
complimentary to the Administration, informs
the Union that: 4

racy of New York Y with more Of the same sort
of reasoning, we have not time now specially to
refer to. We have given sufficient attention
to the specific ends involved to accomplish the
object we aimed at.
| This is the language used, let it be borne in
mind, and these are the doctrines brought for
ward by prominent organ of the Democracy
| Of New York, in reply to the Washington Union,
the organ-in- chief of the SO, called national
Democracy, and the mouth piece of the Pierce
administration That the Albany Atlas peaks
correctly in regard to- the Democracy Of New
York, there is no solvent reason to doubt The
past goes toillus,rate the fact. The Democracy
Of New York were thoroughly aboitienized as
far back as 1913. At the Presidential election
of that year, Martin Van Buren, abolition can
didate for The Presidency received several thou
sand more uotes than did Gen. Lewis Cass,
Democratic national candidate! That the En-
hov o;p
gentleman will pretend to argue. 1t is even
questionable whether corporals guard Of those
who voted for Cass remain as monuments of
fidelity to principle. All, or nearly all, have
rushed into the sooty embraces of fanatioism, or
become SO tainted by constant contact, that
they are unreliable. In this connection, and
in sheer Justice to the Wings Of that STATE,
we will remark that they zealously sup
ported and triumphantly elected the Southern
Shareholder ZACHARY TAYLOR
Yet, Southern anti American presses and or
ators regardless of these significant and ire
trAgible facts careless of the interests of the
section in which they reside--wholly reckless,
as it would seem, of what becomes of the ques-
ton of slavery -coolly turn round and tell the
Southern people that their only dependence rests
in such Northern Democrats as are the Demo-
Gratis Of New York That the American party
is. composed of their direst enemies, and that
their sole ark Of safety is in the hands of those
whose abolitionism is as apparent as the sun at
monday, when it beams brightest and hottest
Could partisan prejudice, or bigotry, or unmit-
igated recklessness, go farther' It appears
impossible. ~
II the South has any friends in the NORTH
and we feel convinced that she has hundreds of
thousands, true and staunch--they are almost
exclusively to be found in the ranks Of the ma
tional American party, which party is making
a gallant struggle against the combined cohorts
Of abolitionism, fanaticism, foreignism, and bo-
gus. Democracy.
We believe that the American party will tri-
umph over all the isms, in the long run, and
inaugurate an era of patriotism and friendly
feeling between all the sections Hence we call
upon all true Americans South to support the
good oause with the utmost zeal and ability
Safety and right are on our side
