The North and the south.

We should be false to the American party, TO
the South, to the country, and to ourse if we did
not plainly and truly present what we know to be
the present condition Of the political matters III
the North. Weeks ago we proclaimed to the
South-our readers cannot fail to remember it,
our columns bear witness to it-that this contest
must be decided by the South---it is left to the
South to decide, by the voluntary action OF the
North. The Southern Americans, with the aid
aud consent Of the Northern conservatives, selec.
ted the American candidates, and the North stands
ready to redeem their pledge, by uniting with
their Southern friends, to support and to elect
those candidates.
| The American candidates. both fasorites Of thu
South, are yet entirely acceptable to the Northern
conservatives are men in whom both sections
of the country have confidence mot one Southern
American has taken any exception to the nomi-
nees-and the question is presented to the South.
W-al you support the candidates sehom zee haze

Itheif Southern brethren, that if the South wiz
rally upon these nominees the North VII sustain
them, you Of the South fepudiate the Candidates

The Contrast.

When Mr.. Buchanan was first nominated 81
the modern Memocracy, by precohcert OF action.
announced that the South would have 70 vote
for him. because Mr.. Fillmore stood no chance
in the Northern States. To save the Union
we must vote for Buchanan, and thus defeat
Fremont. Urgent appeals were made to all u
cast away their political preferences and sustain
Buchanan.
How was this appeal received BY the Amera
lean and conservative journals throughout tbA
SOUTH Wait few days. was the reply, and
| il it true that Buchanan is the strongest and
safest man, we will vote for him, ia order I'd
defeat the sectional candidate.
/ They balanced the question in their mindsa
| and actually announced II freely and openly in
the columns of their papers. that they would
throw aside mere personal preferences and
go for Mr.. Buchanan, if it was actually iaeces-
sary.
A few weeks rolled by, and. as if the hand
| of magician had exercised a MYSTERIOUS infiu.
ence over the minds Of the people, Buchanan
went down, down, down, until his strongest
/ |supporters in the Northern States published tho
astounding intelligence that there was no pos.
sibility of Mr.. Buchahana election. To such
an extent was the detection carried into the
ranks of the modern Democracy that there
was not. and is not now LEFT the faintest hope
for Mr. Buchanan to carry any Of the large
States in the North.
| On the other hand, Mr.. Fillmore went ups
!; up, up, until the loud huzxas made the welkfh
ring in his favor, North and South. His noblss
patriotic. statcsman-like stand in favor Of the
whole country; his cutting, killing thrnsta a
d sectionalism and disunion; the broad graap 81
. thought with which he surveyed the danRer(
0 that beset Us, rallied thonsanda aud tens Of
thousands to his Ataiidard.
/ And now, With Fillmore ia the ascendant and
growing i'd popularity and irresistible strength
' / day by day, we return the complainant. and ape
lpea to the opposition to cast away all their po>
litical preferences andvote for Millard Fillmore
: az the only man to whom can be con6ded with
. unwavering confidence the helm Of State
t How is the appeal received by those very men
who, only few weeks ago called upon us IA
e do that, which is now forced upon them IN at
n absolute necessity?
n Blinded with mpotent rage, and loving party
a more than they do their country, they are hurl,
is ing their thanders Of dennnciation even against
foreigners who have deserted their ranks and
!. become the allies Of the Abolition candidate.
The contrast is a striking one. The peopii
= = will ponder upon it and act accordingly.
