rLo late Elections and the Presidential
Question, in a Sectional View.

~
.,.tr Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa, in our
,'mon conclusively establish these three points
u E;r.t-That E, there is mot the ghost of
.harrc for Mr.. Fillmore" even in the South
''' 'Socond-That the contest is sectional con
Mr. buchanan being the Southern, and
%oJ M Fremont the Northern candidate
Third-That the present Buchanan party is
H., most nltra and exclusively sectional party
g ,ny party claiming to be national, and has
,.,r visited in the United States
Onr first point requires very little argument
J., mako if rood The late results in North
r,roIina and Kentucky-two of the three or
enr southern States claimed for Mr. Fillmore
tell their own story. The revolution against
,br riIlmorcitcS, in Kentucky, is particularly
;.,;t,aut 1t was their Southern stronghold:
,,,d having lost it, what other Southern State
o,r he expected to stop at the uncertain and
,,,roi;,llc halfway house Of Fillmore. when
,bn whole North is rallying for Fremont, and
,rc whole South is moving for Buchanan .
The first report from Arkansas, to the effect
cheat that State had gone for the Fillmore par
~ was but momcntary deluSon. Arkansas
,,,I,crr> TO her Democratic antecedcntS as in
g.,;rIy as Virginia In word, the late re-
,nIr. in the South. in our Judgment, close up
,L. ,rcounts of the Know Nothing party.
Isve Mr. Fillmore without % the ghost of a
rhonre" for solitary electoral vote, and re-
,rn.c this Presidential strH@gle to an inevitable
election by the people of Fremont or Buchan-
an
Oar second proposition, which is as self ey-
Jcpt IS the first, is denied by the Niggcr-driy-
iosr Democracy in reference to their candidate:
bpt we shall hold them TO it, They would
have rs believe that Fremont is the only sec
touaI candidate in the field Mr. Fillmore
has told rs so: Mr. buchanan has told us the
same thing and they have both recommended
= revolutionary nulIiiication of the will of the
american people, should Fremont be elected.
Wpsav that upon the Kansas question, the sec
tiouaI issue between Fremont and Buchanan
+. a> clear aS white and black Fremont goes
fer making Kansas Il free State; Buchanan is
,IuIurd to Governor Wise and the Southern
oia.,r-driycrS of the Cincinnati Convention. to
make it Slave State. Upon this well deln-
ed issue. Mason and DNon'S line and the Ohio
river have been made hv the South the dyid-
ing barrier between the two great parties of
'.r,ampagn, notwithstanding the Southern
pr'r are rs free to act, and are as active on
,e North side of the line. as within the limits
o.. their own peculiar jurisdiction.
Our thirl proposition, declaring the present
Buchanan party the most ultra sectional of any
mr,y claiming to be national that has ever
c,,jrd in the United States, We shall cndeavor
tuahe As clear as either of the other two.
There is nothing in the history Of Fremont,
aa.biug in the platform he occupies nothing
nl.s letter of acceptance. to justify these
>G,bcrn apprehen>ionS and these democratic
rc;sat;ous against him that he is an abolition

4ooitiou principles: and that, in anticipation
