mean! Mr. Fillmore, a. you well know
was the nominee Of TIE Southern Ssstss.-
Those delegates were not only for him, but
would take no one else., Whg, then, do
they abandon him! Simply because they,
having but one interest in politics, and
watchiully consulting the political baromet~
er, are guided by its suggestions. They
calculate the chances and the cost of Pre-
sidential election. The platform upor
which they placed Mr.. Fillmore offendex
Northern sentiment. The action ia CON-
gress and the events in Kansas have awsk-
ened throughout the North and West an in
dignation so deep and pervading as to de-
prive Mr.. Fillmore of the votes of every
Free State To qualify himself for accept
ance in Slave States, Mr.. Fillmore had to,
t,ke ground which necessarily repetied' the
Free States, and having thus lost the North.
the South, for that reason, aban6oas him.
In this the S,uth acts understandingly, and
is true to herself. Mr.. Fillmore became
valueiess to Slavery the moment it was
certain that he could not subsidize the North.
And although abandoned by :hose VINO NOM

friends can justly charge the South with.

able from the stringency of the terms i'm
posed, and the enormity of the outragss per-
petrated in Kansas to do that, the considera-
ton iailed, and the South declares for Buch-,
anan instead of Fillmore as the most avail.
able candidate.
The practical question then arises, con-
tinues the Judge, whether the American parr
ty of the North shall adhere to nomIna-
ton which has been deliberately abandoned
by the South, and he answers it thus:

are not only sure to vote for Mr.. Buchanan
but are made sure by the votes of Southern
Americans who are pledged to Mr.. Fillmore.
As the canvass progresses, and Northern
sentiment deyelopes and concentrates in
favor of Col. Fremont, the remaining one
or two Southern States will declare unmis-
takably for Mr.. Buchanan, on whom the
whole South will be united.
On the other hand, the Free States, with
the exception of New Jersey and Psnnsyl--

But does Mr.. Fillmore, or any sane man..

Ii is certain, ho xever, and it is conceded,
that union of the Americans and Repub-
licans in both States, would take from Buch-
anan, and Garry them where they belong,
into brotherhood and fraternity with Free

DISEASED BLOOD manifests itself by
