SELF
An Issue Nth but One Side.
COL Fremonts supporters seek the belief that
the democrats are seeking to extend slavery and some
times assert that if Mr. Buchanan elected IL will be
stored and established in all the free States These alega
tons though emanang from distinguished sources incu-
ding religious newspapers utterly deny and pronounce
untrue Mr.. Buchanan is advocate of slavery exen
sion, and know he does not desire it anywhere as is
clear by his letter of acceptance There is not
in the free States who has claims TO sanity who
has any such design. No be found who by any
word deed has authorized the assumption that he
desires the extension of slavery Nothing is further from
such wish design 1t is impossible to find such
in the free States The charge is libel upon the demo-
cratic party who under the recommendation of Governor
Tompkns passed the emancipation in this State II is
bold attempt to mislead and prejudice against
party which is proof against all assaults founded upon
truth There is such the republicans" alege
and this their writers and speakers must know.
The Real Issue.
The real issue is between the democracy and their ad
versares and whether the mehonored principles of the
former shall be triumphant be cloven down The dem
ocratc party have been the supporters Of Unon
and opposed to all slavery and sectional agitation
gerous to its peace and destructive of those blessings which

which were unanimously adopted both there and all

gerous consequences and that all such efforts have nev

institutions"

nati the present year, five times in all and emphatcay

Democratic Measures.
LISA fact worthy Of remembrance that nearly every
great political measure that graces stetuebooks has
originated and been passed by the democratic party and
been opposed by its adversae while every proposition o.
