Nothing movement on the ground that il affords
the Northern doughfaces another good chance to
sell out on the Slavery question. Every other
consideration but this is Of very small account
with ii. Hear what il says:
We hailed the rise Of this American party with
much satisfaction and for the reason, principally that
II seemed capable OF throwing bridge across the
chasm which fanatics, North and South. hal made be-
tween different sections of the country, permanent

We never have had any doubt that this was
leading motive with the Silyer-Grays and old
fogies generally, but we never expected such
frank acknowledgment Of the fact. They made
a great clamor over the passage of the Nebraska
bill. because they thought that was game that
would pay. They rush into know-Nothingism
for the double reason that they not only con-
ceiye it to be paying investment, but because
ii affords favorable opportunity for exercising
their skill as doughfaces.
II is an old saying that murder will ont, and
it is true that where the heart is full it will
often overflow or become leaky. Hence ii is
that We have such precious confessions as that
we have quoted. If The Adreriisa was Mt
stupid when We mildly pronounced it so,
we think it must acknowledge that to be the
most accurate epithet to describe the paragraph
we quote. In this case however We fully par
don the stupidity for the sake Of the truth
The same paper, in the article from which we
Gull the choice morsel we have given above, in-
dulges in melancholy column worldly para
phrasing the statement that the North and South
.'need not quarrel about Slavery until the mat

discovery The AdreHiser is expoundng itsvlews
in its own natural way, doubtless, and we need
not characterize il by adjectiyes. What it says
speaks for itself. We agree perfectly with the
sentiment that the North and South need not
quarrel on the Slavery question until the matter
comes legitimatey before them. And we know
Of nobody that does not hold the same view.
Only we say that the Slavery question is legiti-

us, thrust down our threats by the aggression of
the Kansas Nebraska bill. And we think it is
high time to resist such infames. For The Bsf-
faio Adreniser to say the question OF Slavery ID
not legitimately before the country to-day, ia
like man who should reply TO one who had
knocked him down that it was his intention to
express bis opinion to that fellow the moment
he felt himself insulted. \ venerable Buffalo
Adrerisr sort OF Tory who was in the street
when the British troops fired upon and massa-
cred unofTending citizens at the beginning of our
REVOLUTIONARY act which sent the blood boiling
in rivers all through the heart of the Common
wealth-observed with immensely moderate in
dignation that for such an act "those fellows
"(the soldiers) ought to be talked 10" But it
is wronging the memory Of that soft-hearted and
softer-headed old Tory to call him Buffalo Id
rertiser Tory. The Buffalo Adeertiser does not
even pretend that it is time to - talk to " the
aggressive tyrants and audacious invaders who
have dared TO come into free territory and seize
and make conquest of it as field for the spread of
slavery 1t never will find that that time is come.
Neither will any other Northern doughiace find
that time is come, especially after he has taken
the celebrated Third Degree" in Know-Noth-
ingism, which crowned Ex-President Fillmore's
political distinctions Just before he left for
Europe.
