SENATOR CLiyToS, OF DELAwAhE The

tone, Il watched over its cradle. and have

The kink that has got Itself into the
crotchcty Heads of the Fillmore party Of the
South IS the notion that, as Buchanan will
get the whole South, he is therefore sec-
teonG candidates. and that lis e.esttaii Is for
that reason to be as much deprecated Jy tie
South as that of Fremont, who will be sup
ported by almost the entire North. 1t is
therefore gravely and sagely suggested by
these Southern men that the South shall
abandon their own sectional candidate
and pick up Fillmore as national man, his
nationality consisting in his having no show
of support either at the North or South

We, in the South, who have not on op-
portunity of seeing the Black Republican
newspapers, and of being cdgnizant of the
doings of the faction, in the present political
contest, hardly have an adequate idea of the
tremendous exertions that the leaders of that
party are making at the North, to accom-
plish the election of Fremont. Nothing is
left undone. The press, the pulpit, the
stump are all put in daily requisition. The
country is flooded with tracts, pamphlets,
handbills, and caricatures Meetings are
held whenever a gathering of the people can
be collected. Orators are paid to go from
State to State The railroad cars and steam
boats are supplied with political publica-
tons for reading by the passengers. In
short, to accomplish desperate end, the
most determined and desperate means are
resorted to, without stint. Never did party
in this country make such efforts, with such
untiring energy. They have rislied all up
ON the success of this, the first serious at
tempt to divide and dissolve the Union, by
the action of the people, at Presidential
election. May all their arts be COMPOUNDED
and brought to ncrght !--14lcp. Ga
