PATRIOTS TO THE RESCUE.

inseparable or perish, have felt themselves ir-
resistably impelled to denounce and oppose the
Black Republican party as one threatening the
most imminent danger to the Union, and un-
told aud most fearful caamties to every por-
ton OF this great contederacy.
II is a remarkable fact that ,citaout single
exception, every man IN the nation, NTH a ma
tional reputation for personal and political an
tegrity, oppose and uaqualifedly denounce tile
Black Republican party, as being sectional,
and tending inevitably to the most unhappy
discords, strites, disasters, and that .tellest of
all eUiis, disunion-for IA that one ,oord, APP
Piled to this conyeoeracy, 6e concealed more

Evils SO potentous and so imminently threat
ening, have caused patriot voices from every
quarter of the Union to be raised in one har-
monious strain of caution and exhortation to
the people to shun the dangerous alliance with
the Black Republicans and to cause themselves
to forget all minor matters in this great issue
involving the peace and perpetuity of the
Union.
Patriots of every party, have but one alter
native, to join in the Republican crusade
which threatens the existence of the Union, or
to range themselves in line with the Demo
CRATIC party to resist this paricidal effort ofthe
conglomerate isms of the day.
On the side Of the Republican party, are
ranged all the infdels Of the land, who clamor
fora new Constitution, a new Bible, a new
God-the leaders of abolition, anti-renters, an
demonstrating and Webb, Seward and
Wendell Phillips, Arson Burlingame and Theo-
dore Parker; Greeley, Raymond and the The
Sites of the Erening Post, Chase, Wade and
Wilson.
Let the people of the United States look
upon that bright galaxy Of eminent patriots
and statesmen who stand arrayed under the
banner of the Constitution. Buchanan and

alogue Of all the patriots and eminent men of
the country. Some Of these are in favor of
Mr. Fillmore, having confidence in his discre-
ton, and his declarations denouncing the mo-
tives and tendency Of Republicanism. There
can be no manner of doubt that as between
Fremont and Buchanan, Mr.. Fillmore would
turn with scorn and horror from the former,
and rely with assurance on the safety of the
Union under Mr.. Buchanan. We hesitate not
to affirm, that all affiliations OF his party or
fusions with the Republican party, are emf
nently distasteful to Mr. Fillmore, and if those
who profess preference for him aud confidence
in his wisdom and patriotism, would be guided
by the opinions or wishes of Mr.. Fillmore, they
would spit upon all the overtures OF the Re-
publican party. Let his supporters bear this
we'll in mind, that the Republican leaders en-
terrain personally towards Mr. Fillmore the
most implacable hatred, and their seduction of
his friends under the guise of fusion and afiilia.

vindictive hate upon him, as to swell their own

distasteful to Mr.. Fillmore
