The Sectional Factions.

The n. Y. Herald since 1t sold out to the Black
Republicans lAbors diligently to rival its compeers,
the Tribune aud Tins. In its Tuesdays issue, it
opens long article in this way:
The ats elections In North Oarolins, Kentucky, Ar.

"Frst. That there is mot the ghost OF chance for

"5eoopd That the coute-t is . sectional contsst-Mr
Buchanan being the Southern and CD Fremont the Nor
them candidate.
Third That the present Buchanan party is the
ultra aud exclusively sectional party OF party claiming
20 be national that has existed in the United States
This il to the same tune which the Black Repub-
licans of the North and the Democratic Republicans
Of the South have been playing since the nomi-
nation Of Fillmore with slight variations to suit the
latitude Both factions by way of killing off the
conservative candidate have been playing into each
others hands and both have insisted that the
test was purely sectional. We not surprised
ut the course of the Black Republicans. To reduce
the issue to a strictly sectional to ensure
victory in advance. For all men know that the
electoral votes OF the on-sav eholding States exceed
those Of tho saveholiing; and the sole question be-
Ing that Of slavery the result in favor of the North
was inevitable With this certainty staring them in
the face the folly Of the Democratic Republicans in
cooperating with the Black Republicans in making
up this sectional issue, is amazing indeed. The
y possible escape from the fatal effects Of this shame
full blunder consists in withdrawing their candidate
He is already beaten-he and his friends have been
completely taken in by the Black Republicans
These last know it, and they also know that the
only obstacle to their full is the conservative
candidate, Fillmore-whom, therefore, they persist
in ignoring and still insist that the contest is solely
between Fremont and the already routed candidate
of the Democracy, Buchanan.
The Black Republican game is patent to all the
world and the only wonder is that the Democrats
do not see it, and instead Of continuing to aid and
abet it, take instant steps to defeat it. by withdraw
ing Buchanan. 1t is yet time to rally the conserva-

We submit to Southern men OF all parties that

this stage Of the game, every vote thrown for Blu

The avowals of the Black Republicans themselves
