Elected
Our readers win remember that in ls52-sone
one or two months before that election-wc
lar vote, State by State; and they will also
recolect that our allowance Of but four States to
Gen. Scott, although received with derision and
ridicule by the wings, and with general incredu-
lily by the democrats, was substantially made
good on the day of the election. Then our esti-
mates were looked upon as possessed Of some
thing very little short of inspiration, when, in
fact, they were but the results of the common
sense application Of cause and effect, and OF ac-
tual Developments of public opinion.
In the present case, our task would be more
complicated, difficult, and conjectural, from
the destruction Of the two old parties OF '52,
and the reconstruction from their fragments
of the existing confused and shifting TRAN
gular organization Of candidates and parties
Making all due allowances, however, for the
extraordinary circumstances which underle the
movements OF the ,hree parties in this canvass,
we think that, in giving to Fremont the vote oil
every Northern State, we are not travelling very
wide of the mark. Our reasons for this opinion
are good and strong The results Of all the
Northern elections during the last three years
especially the unmistakeable indications OF the
late Iowa. Maine and Vermont elections, the de-
moralization Of the democracy from the destruc-
tive influences Of this Pierce administration, the
border ruffian and filibustcring Cincinnati plat
form, and the painful servilty Of the respecta-
al a<ol fha nile
sor of Mr.. Pierce, but above ALL the a0eless
and brazen-faced attitude Of the spols dSlhocra-
cy and their candidate in behalf of the estab-
lishment Of slavery in Kansas by the compalso-
ry appliances OF Missouri militia and United
States dragoons-all contribute TO fix and fas-
ten the belief upon us that Fremont is destined
to carry every Northern State in the Union
every one.
The Kansas issue, reduced to this startling
shape of military coercion in behalf Of slavery,
has naturally, in the North, stirred up the foun-
tains Of the '.great Deep as they were never
stirred up before A weak, treacherous and
trucking administration has raised civil war
in Kansas upon the ruins Of popular sovereign
ty; and but for the saving interposition Of Mar
cy We have solid reasons for the belief that in
addition to civil war within our own territories,
we should at this moment be involved in a life
and death struggle with Spain, England and
France, as the penalty for an attempt to steal
the island Of Cuba according to the Kitchen
Cabinet plot of the Ostend manifesto. To
Marcy we are indebted for escaping the
infamy of formal endorsement by the
administration Of that robbers manifesto; but
Marcy, having no jurisdiction of the Interior
Department and the War Department, was power
less to arrest the mischievous disunon designs Of
that arch secessionist, Jefferson Davis.
Hence Mr.. Pierce has been led by the nose into
the very headquarters of the border ruiians, and
chanan, and sworn to their policy of establishing
slavery in Kansas by force of arms. Our
amiabe President laughs at the shocking brutal
ties and barbarities committed upon the defence
less people Of Kansas by his agents; and briefly,
o all circumstances he turns over the victims OF
to the justice of Lecompte. Mr.. Blu.
chanan the timid, cold, calculating, selfish, pla
bic partizan, has never word to say, except that
in becoming the Cincinnati platform he has ceased
10 be James Buchanan, and is necessarily dumb
He consents, however, and is therefore party to
The crimes Of his supporters; he adopts their
policy-is pledged to carry il out. They aim
through his election, to carry it, and hence vote
Tor Buchanan is vote for JEFF Davis, Pierce,
Atcbison 4 Co., and their plan Of reducing Kan
sas to slavery through the sovereignty OF United
States Dragons, sabres and Missouri militia bay
posse comisats' OF our amiable Mr..
Pierce.
All these things contribute to fix our opinion
hat, in oil human probability, the vote OF every
Northern State in November will be cast for Ere
mont. Never has the slavery question been pre-
.cntod 10 the Northern mind in shape so often
i've and revolving rs this, in which the North are
,alled upon TO submit TO the establishment Of
ilavcry in Kansas through the most abominable
agencies, or to run the peril Of military subju-
ration. The masses Of the Northern people are
conservatives upon the slavery question and in
avor OF fulfilling strictly every constitutional OBJ
igation to the South: but by corrupt and reck-
ess party led on by gang OF interruptions and
desperate secession politicians this Northern con
clNd'lSIi Han bt'h Vubiaccu " yoAu WY h'nso "
urther forbearance. Hence IL is that all old
party lines and associations-all reservations OF
'espcct for Southern pecularities of fceling-have
given way TO this uprising Northern feeling OF
resistance to the democratic policy Of forcing
slavery upon Kansas, right or wrong, and rcck-
ess ofconstitu,ons and laws, and the commoncst
Instincts of humanity.
Here we have the secret Of the unanimous
movement Of all tie Protestant churches Of the
North and many Of the Catholic too, en- mas~,
against Bucbanan--an active revolutionary mo-
raj and religious movement controlling more
or less, perhaps a million Of Northern votes
including thousands upon thousands who have
heretofore taken 10 interest In politics, but
who now hold that even the pulpit, the Cos
pel and the Sabbath may be righ,eously devoted
