in which he openly notified the South not to sub
nit to the election of Fremont. Afterwards the
supporters of Mr. Buchanan, and that gentleman
himself took up the cry, and far outstripped the
Know Nothings in their cries for disunion.
1t was our intention TO have furnished this
morning few extracts from leading Buchanan
papers Of the South, 10 show that they look
onward to disunion as quite probable and by no
means regrettable contingency that they
will 90 for it if the North ventures to refuse them
anythine they want. But really, ever since Mr.,
Buchanan was nominated, the tone Of the South
ern Buchanan press has so uniformly and unani-
mously been Of this character that we are some
what embarrassed which extracts to choose among
so many that are suitable.
We may say. briehy--and no extracts are need
ed to prove this--that the Charleston Mercury
perhaps the ablest Buchanan paper in the South
goes openly for disunion. Parker and Garrison
are far behind the Mercury in denunciation of the
Union. Other Carolina papers are not behind
hand. The Solah Carolnjqa says positively that
this election will decide whether We are to be
one people or not. By il, we are to have Union
and peace, or disunion and possibly revolution
and bloodshed. The South will have equality
either in the Union or out OF it All which
means OF course that the Cdro1nan goes for dis
union if il is disappointed. Similar language is
found in other Buchanan papers of South Caro-.
lima. Passing to Virginia, we find the Richmond
EnquiyT q confidential organ Of the present adj
minstration, and high in the confidence OF Mr..
Buchanan, asserting that should the black repub-
licans triumph the Union could not epreseryed'
mo time for disunion is better than the pre-
ent'-" the South is compact, united, and ready

article calling for crusade against Baltimore
because that city declared itself in favor Of the
Union. Other Virginian Buchanan organs con-
cur: the Norfolk -1,ygs, since the present cam
vass began, has been well convinced that the
Union was worthless 10 the South In Alaba-
ma, the Mobile Daily Register whose editor, Mr..
Forsyth, has just been appointed to foreign mis-
sion by Mr. Piece, and who is almost as intimate
with Mr.. BUCHANAN as Mr.. Slidell, is out plainly
and frankly for disunion. In recent article it

All these Buchanan papers call for disunion if
hey do no, get what they want. We have shown
that the speakers Of the same party from first to
last--as well as the orators Of the Fillmore party
including Mr. Fillmore himself were of the same
mind. and went for disunion. If they were disap.
