SIGNs OF THE TIMEs.-In Ohio the con-
test is between Fillmore and Fremont
Buchanan is represented by some Of our ex.
changes as out of the race there, as if with.
drawn by his friends.
The West Is all alive with the spirit of
Fremontsm, as the late election in Iowa
shows. The foreign vote of the West
makes complete case of Buchananism.

union of the Hards and Softs in New York

been increasing, 1t had not power to elect
the speaker of the House; yet its deudsd
advocates think they can elect Buchanan,
the alien squatter sovereignty candidate
He will get the votes Of few Southern
States, owing TO the fact, that the benighted
of the land think that Americans ought not
to govern their own country. Such are the
signs of the times.

forming me that, at Convention of the

date for the Presidency Of the United States
at the ensuing election.
Being already in the field MS the candidate
Of the American party Of the Union, cannot
feel otherwise than flattered and honored by
the accession of Georgia to her sister States
in the support of my nomination. My politi.
cal sentiments are too well known to need
any recapituatior here, and my character and
former services are the only pledges which l
can offer, that will, ii elected, use my best
endeavors so to administer the government %
to restore harmony TO the conflicting sections
and maintain cordial union between the
States by giving to each and all that protec-
tion which the Constitution has guaranteed.
If my friends believe that ] have sufficient
intelligence 20 know their Constitutional
rights, and sufficient honesty and moral cour.
age to maintain them, they will be satisfied
with this, but If lack either, no pledge could
supply the deficiency or justify them in giving
me their support.

dered, with grateful appreciation OF honor
done me by the Convention, and beg leave to
express to you my thanks for the kind man.

WHY DOlT.

The Democratic press have teemed with
appeals to the people to lay aside al party
prejudice and come in to the support of their
candidate, en- masse. There is no reason,
common sense orjustice in such appeal. Is
il reasonable to ask Americans to disregard
principles principles they cherish as the true
basis Of our Government and the land marks
of the founders of the Republic-to support
a party at war with those principesl Would
il be common sense on their part 10 desert
their chosen standard bearer who has been
weighed and approved. and who is acknowl-
edged to be worthy and well qualified, 10
place in power a man whose soundness is at
least q,lestionable' Would it be justice to
themselves and to their country to mid in
keeping in power the party that has involv-
ed the country in the very troubles Of which
they themselves now complain! When the
Democratic party took the rens of Govern
ment in hand, we were enjoying peace abroad
and prosperity at home-ho civil feuds nor
foreign brois wrrs evrn pereeptible in the
distant future. Sectionaism had just received
blow from which II was thought II would
never recover. The Democratic party took
entire control of the country. The President
and both branches the National Legislature
almost every State from Maine to Texas and
from Maryland to California, all, all under
Democratic sway. 1t was thought then that
il Democratic doctrine was calculated to bene.
ft the country, its good results must now be
felt. But IN the short space ST three and half
years what do we see? Sectionalism rampant
civil war-the Treasury plundered-for-
eign Degradation abroad and
confidence lost at home. The President sits
there perfect pigmy, the emaciated, afflicted
subject of his own folies. The House of
Representatives he sold out to sectonalism--
the Senate repudiated him and his party
State after State has wheeled out of line
The country now groans beneath burdens
such as it never did before, all resulting from
Democratic rule. This, fclow-ctizens, is the
rule you are asked to perpetuate. Will you
do it!

THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.

| lfFom tne washington american Organ.l
We should be false to the American party,
to the South, to tlecountry, and to ourself, II
we did not plainly and truly present what we
kno,o to be the present condition Of the po-
itical matters in the North. Weeks ago we
proclaimed 10 the South-our readers cannot
fail to remember t--our columns bear wit
ness to it-that this contest must be decided bu
the S0mh--t is left to the South TO decide,
by the voluntary action of the conservative
Americans of the North. The Southern
Americans, with the aid and consent of the
Northern conservatives, selected the American
candidates, and the North stands ready to re-.
deem their pledge, by uniting with their
Southern friends, to support and to elect
those candidates.
The American candidates, both favorites Of
the South, are yet entirely acceptable to the
Northern onservalyes-they are men in
whom both sections of the country have con-
fidrnce-not ons sSouthern American has
taken any exception to the nominees--and
the question is presented to The South, VIII
you support the candidates whom zoe hare
jointly selected? The Northern Americans
say to their. Southern brethren, that if the
South ,OiA rally upon those nominees, the
North oiH sustain and elect them; but they
say at the same time 10 them, ii you Of the
South repudiate the candidate; of our mutual
selection, and go over to the "squatier sover.
eighty" candidates, We cannot and wiH moi
follow you into the ranks of the sham Demo.
cracy.
We repeat, then, this contest must be de-
cided by the South herself, and upon her re-
sponsibility, for the consequences to the
country. The South can insure the election
of Fillmore and Donelson, but she cannot
insure the election OF Buchanan and Breckn.
ridge. An avowal by the South, of her pur.
pose to adhere to the American nominations,
will increase their strength in the North,
whilst an avowaI by her, of purpose to
throw her vote upon Buchanan, whom the
North will, under no circumstances, support,
could do nothing less than create sectional
issue, and drive every non slaveholding State
into the support of Fremont.
We do not mean to say, that any North.
ern Conservative, who noio stands pledged to
the support of the American candidate would
in such an event, throw himself into the arms
Of Seward, Greeley, and John Hughes-but
We do mean to express the opinion, that the
conservative Americans of the North, rs a
body, will moi, at the present time, or under
any state of circumstances likely soon to arise,
by word or deed, knowingly and purposely
.promo:e theskuccess Of either Buchanan or
Fremont. They are ready 10 do all in their
power to defeat both, and both Gun be de-
feated if the South SO will it--but so far as
we are advised, they would take no part in
sectional contest, the result of which, If
brought upon the country, must be disastrous
in the highest degree, no matter which of
these sectional parties should succeed.
