a. dsusoa thai in the long run Or ia the House Of Rep
.s0taty, Mr. Fillmore might unite the elements Of OPP
position 10 shs democracy
Wa b alreAdy referred 10 the stubborn and unyieding
...asss az the radical abolitonsts 10 repsng all the
,aous and persuasons Of the black republican leaders
a. hack down from their platform. The only hope
y these leaders now is in securing the cooperation Of the
no,berp know-nothpgs. II is amusing to observe the
earnest and aectonae appeals made by the Greeleys and
swsrds to the northern know-nohngs for compromise
In b late speech Mr. Seward made most touching allu-
Ion n bs late know. nothing associates The Tribune Is
and mportunate in entreatng them TO forego their
asovs As to the naturalization laws, and unite the
nciple Of aeedom for Kansas" which there is per-
g., concord between them The following, from that pa
Dr Of Monday last shows how greatly Mr. Greeley Is eHer
c,,ed in search Of an available candidate:
Ths contest which opens before appears to at
in rs character momentous in its consequences and
t.. In m reEut We hope for success In IL but that
can only be secured by wisdom, by Cancellation in the
hcs If bearer, and by the most entire and
hearty surrender personal preferences to the good OF the
ns The only Who in our view, can have any oaias
- M nnort OF the republicans he who, being devoted 10
h rood work Of making Kansas free State shall seem
h concentrate more strength and obtain more eleoto-
raj votes than any other. Show us that any man VINO Is
heartily with us the Kansas struggle can obtain the cleo
~ vote of Pennsy and New Jersey Indiana and IL
no Delaware and California or threeiourths Of them,
and we will fayoraby consider his claims TO the nominations
but to talk of nominating only because we should pre-
Gar him as President without considering what vote he can
probably obtain how he is to be elected Is sheer unaey
How earnestly Mr. Greeley appeals to the northern know
pothings in his concluding paragraph:
The great issue of slavery extension Is now to be dee
dd Let Kansas be admitted free State, and there will
never be slave organized west or north OF her and
slavery can only extend its dominion through Texas toward
tha southwest Let Kansas be ensaved and Utah, New
Nico and the new to be formed in the rich mining
region of the ia will follow in its train. Let the friends
If free Kansas triumph in the presidential contest and the
game of the border ruans is blocked Even Mis-
our will repudiae and suppress them. But with Pres
dent elected their exerons and votes with Virginia. the
Canss Alabama and Georgia at his back should still
struggle and plead for free Kansas but would behe plead
ing of the vanquished-he struggle of despair. Men ho
aes NTH us the main point lose this
a be possible i and to this end Dnst, selecting
candidates, nqaire first Iy ohat sign WE CONQUER"
The Times is not less pressing and persevering in its ap
peas and pumply tells the northern brethren that unless
they accede the compromise the democrats certain
of success In reply to the Commercial Advertiser which
has lingering proclivity towards Mr. Fillmore the Times
of day before yesterday says;
The Commercial must know that the northern Ameri
cans will never body vote for Mr. Fillmore, and that
they will take such in the presidential
will without damage to the sentiments and principles of their
own organization be most certain to defeat the schemes of
the osvery crusaders Nor there any ground for the
sstonhment affects at ntmaton that they and the
republicans would together for the attainment of end
which they seek in common The elections of the past year
show conclusvely that such alliance is natural and
inevitable and that it win also be irresistible and convic
ton of this fact affords probable explanation of the
ness the Commercial and the select and respectable party
which it represents"
1t is clear sunlight that the "wd hunt" of the OPP
position after their forces and render
ed them poweres whilst in their present state of confusion
and distraction But it must be remembered that there is
ground of agreement between all the divisions
the pposonthc first object and wish of each of them
the defeat and overthrow of the democratic party
When they have tried and failed to harmonic on every
other platform this predominant sentiment wil in all
probability produce such fusion and cooperation of the
different elements of opposition to require perfect
and harmony the ranks of the national for its
successful resistance.
