that his opinions and his principles are hxed mode

blinded 10 the great wrong of the repeal OF the MIS-
sour Compromi-e and the ceort to extend Slavery 10y
the agency of the General Government into Territory
which by n tair clear, distinct understanding be-
tween IL different parts of the Union, had been ded
Gated to freedoman understanding in the nature OF
compact and tie more obligatory because its pernd-
neucc and it's enforcement depended upon IN" honor
and The good faith of the parties The consequence
and the cousummaton Of this great wrong may yot nc
an, sted only by the election of Col Fremont ana II
correctly apI recate him and his position, that being
done tie constitutional rights of the South will be as
safe under his administration a. under that oil any

of peace and quiet, and restoration OF friendly ana
br0tieily intercourse between the different parts OF

| If it be said that Col FRENoSr may attempt some
invasion Of the rights of the South some interference
with tie domestic institutions Of the States-"r some
action tending to diminish destroy the value or the
tenure, the security Of their property or that ne
nay disregard Of the obligation Of the Consttu-
ton lis compromise, ts guarantees or its lmta-
ticrs 10 the prejudice OF the South reply IN the first
place that have hot the slightest apprehension that
such Effort will be- dare be made and secondly,
that if it should ever be made the North would claim
tic foremost position in administering the merlted re-
| luke, in rcdr.ssing the wrong and IN applying
,ecual securities against any recurrence OF the out
| rage.
Beside, it il apparent that the Executive cannot eff
! GENTLY administer the Government lhout support
| frcm the great conservative element of the North
which, though outraged by the abrogaton of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and the subsequent efforts of the
present Administration TO force Slavery into Kansas is
still earnest in its determination to sustain the South
in all its just rights under the Constitution of
country.
We told that in of the election of Col. FIRE.
mont, the South will not, and ought not to submit
that the Union will BE- dissolved. This i, unpari
cite and disoyal suggestion, deserving the sey,rest
reprObation contemplate as threat and uttered
earnestly, eynces want of proper appreciation of fhe
| priceless value, and of the strength Of the Union.
Doubtless there are men, both At the North and at the
South who contemplate, and some even who desre,
dissolution of the Union. Our ails and unac asyluns
Of sufficient capacity 10 accommodate them. For'u
natey they npOtent the object they contem-
plate is wicked.
No. the Union OF these States viii not be destroyed
upon suspicion, by Of fair aud hon
est exercise by The People OF their constitutional right
TO select their own rulers. II, however, the bond
which holds together this confederation of States be
feeble as to be severed for such cause we who have
been accustomed 10 leok to the Union of the
greatest Of political blessings, will be forced 10 mode
rate regret at its loss by the conviction that while
enjoying its protection, Oyerestimated it, strength
and its ficacy, without which is value is delusion.
There are two prominent issues involved in the pend
ing contest;
J. The Slavery Question-not an abstract ques-
ton; but question Of right and OF political power
Shall Slavery be carried into Territory formerly COW
"ercd by the Missouri Compromised 7" and
III. The Foreign Policy of the Government-'' Shall
peace and justice, or violence and outrage be- its
"policyl 2"
This latter issue must not be forgotten or overlooked
As there are practically two great questions involved
in n the of the practically
