n"By recent arrivals from
New York, Philadelphia and New ORLEANS,
WE are in receipt Of a general as
w sortment of
The Evansville daily journal., 1856-08-28
On AM sides Of the Question.

Nj Buchanan, from his past positions,
ought to be able to satisfy everybody on the
slavery question. He has occupied nearly
every conceivable position on this question,
and we think it will be strange if any one
cannot find in his opinions one just suited to
his own position. At one time we find him
contending that is in 1919, that no territory
should ever come into the Union as a State
without constitution prohibiting slavery at
another time that the two Houses Of Congress
should say where slavery should and where
it should not exist at another, that the Presi-
dent and the Senate, independently of the
House, should decide where slavery might he
tolerated at another that the people ola Ter
tuition, and not before, should decide the slav-
cry question for themselves and at another
that the people of Territory, in their terri
orial condition, should settle that question
without waiting for the period of admission
into the Union.
The only question is, whether Buchanan
can be trusted by either the North or the
South The North may think he will main
tain, if elected, his Southern opinions, and the
South may fear he will sustain his Northern
views. Under these circumstances, might it
not be better to vote for Fillmore, the man
who will know neither North nor South, but
look to the whole Union. Buchanan is non
the Representative of the Southern sectional
party, while Fremont represents the Northern
section. Fillmore represents the Union-and
that is the principal difference besween the
three candidates.
