ingly So do the black Republicans. Old line
Wings at Baltimore pledge their support to Know |
Nothing for President So do the 6luek Republicans
support Fremont aoho is tile candidate Of the North
ern Knou Nothings.
The sixth resolution passed at Baltimore is as fol-
lows:
"Resor That all who the Constitution and love
the Union take alarm the attitude assumed by
OF the parties the field in the present Presidential
canvass the claiming only represent sixteen North
States of the Union The other appealing mainly the
either Of those factions add fuel the
lame which now threatens to wrap dearest interests in
one common ruin"
Mark that language!-" the one claiming only to
represent sixteen Northern States of the Union the
other appealing mainly to the passions and preu-
dices OF the Southern S.ates All the South asks is
her rights under common Constitution The North
ern Democrats stand pledged to to her these
rights. This is ''passion this is "prejudice !"
We assert and can show, by extracts from Northern
journals and speeches, filling column after column,
that Northern Democrats and Southern Democrats
hold the same language on the fugitive-savc law
and the Kansas Nebraska act; and that, upon the
question of the Constitutional rights of the South,
they are one and the same. Yet we are here told
that national party-whose resolutions were adop-
ted, and whose candidates were nominated in gen.
eral Convention, embracing delegates from every
Congressional District in the United States-a party
which every where holds the same DOCTRINES and
among whom divisions arc unknown-ths party,
told is mere faction" and its success is
as much to be deprecated that of The Infamous
black Republicans themselves This from South
ern mcn-from Fillmore men-from men who pro-
fess to be desirous of Democratic cooperation and
of Southern union for the sake of the Union! Read
the resolutions again, old line Wings, and if we
have not truly given its substance and meaning.
These old line Baltimore Wings express the opin-
ion that the election OF Fillmore will furnish the
best, if not the only of restoring peace to the
country" If this be so, then is the country gone.
Bat where is Mr.. Filimore's strength? Not in the
South, for in the late elections in North-Carolna,
Texas, and Arkansas, his friends were beaten from
ten to fifteen thousand votes; not in the North,
where it is needed to keep down aboloni>m. for in
the late returns from Maine, Iowa, and Vermont,
his is not mentioned That he has
large and respectable number of friends, one de-
nies; but they every where, in all the States, in
hopeless minority.
The old line Baltimore Wings say they take Mr..
Fillmore without referring" to or adopting his
Know Nothing principles Who ever heard before
of public separate and apart from his prirci
pies? They may go for him on personal grounds,
n-worshipp"rs-but they cannot su>.
tain him under any other view, without at the same
time sustaining his principles They take him, then
without reference to his Know Nothngism. But
what of his oaths to obey the National Council p
They take him because, they say, Wig
President he did well. But he is ~" onsera Wing
he is under other and paramount obligations. The
National IneIligencer thinks It would not be safe to
calculate that Mr.. Fillmore with his present obliga
tons and surroundings, would do well when
he was Wing. That paper, the organ of the old
line Wigs OF the country, is evidently not disposed
to trust him.
We repeat what we intimated in our last, that
! object rather to the temper and manner in
which Mr.. Fillmore has been nominated by old line
Wings, than to the fact Of his nomination. We are
entirely satisfied to him remain in the field. He
, may strengthen Mr.. Buchanan in the free States
that is, If the Fillmore men should run Electoral
tickets in good faith while he cannot subtract from
the Democratic candidate single Electoral vote in
| the South Nor do we believe that his nomination
at Baltimore has added at all to his prospects i'll the
! South The public mind was made up before that
| Convention met Those who went to Baltimore to
nominate him. would have voted for him in almost
any event. The most Of them are Federalists, and
their prcjudices against Democracy are so strong
that they will never act with US; and we confess we
are not very sorry on account Of it. The Democrats
and the high minded, independent, unprcjudiced old
line Whigs who are now with us, or who may here
after join us will elect Buchanan and Breckenridge
and save the country.
| A KNOW NoTHING TRICK.-The leading among
the delegates from this State to the Baltimore Con
vention, were Gov. Morehead, Gov. Graham, ant
Hon. John H. Bryan. We all know that these gen
tlemen were active co-operators with the Know
Nothings last Summer. Gov Morehead presided a
the Guilford K. n. mass meeting-Gov. Graham
made speech at that meeting, and Mr.. Bryan ad
dressed K. N. meeting in Wilmington in Apri
last. Yet these gentlemen went to Baltimore a
Whigs to nominate Mr.. Fillmore. 1t Know
Nothing trick from first to last. What party do yo,
belong to, Gov. Morehead, Gov. Graham, Mr.. Bryan
Why, some people Qhe Know Nothings,) say Oh
party is dead, but We think not,-we call ourselve
Wings, but We cote with the Know Nothings.-
What transparent humbuggery?
IuE WEATHER.--On Sunday last, we had heav,
storm of rain from the northwest, accompanied wit
