IA cold blooded, iinperturable and selfish old
bachelor. In contrast with all such partizan
stuff aud rubbish, the solid matter which we fur
nish this morning from the Richmond Enquirer
and the Boston Lberator, upon the great and
startling issues which underlie this Presidential
agitation, North and South, will doubtless be
read with real interest by men of all parties.
The Richmond Enquirer undertakes very de-
liberately to show that there was no mistake in
the estimates Of Governor Wise concerning the
rise in the price Of niggers-two three or four
hundred per cent--that will follow the election
OF Mr.. Buchanan. The argument advanced in
support Of the Governors calculations is good
one. With Mr.. Buchanan's election, and under
his administration, Kansas will come in as a
slave State, other Territories will come in az
slave States including perhaps slice or two
from Mexico, and Cuba and several others OF
the West India Islands. (Sec Cincinnati plat
form and Ostend manifcs,o) These accessions
will comprehend largely increased demand for
niggers--a demand SO large that the cash price
of all healthy slaves in Virginia, and throughout
the South, will most likely rise from the average
of a thousand to three four or five thausand a
head. And our Virginia contemporary under
takes to show that in this extension of the area
Of slavery, and in this corresponding increase
In the cash value of niggers, the North will share
in the profits Of the South and that according
ly, in an economical and financial view, the
practical dollar-and-cent people OF the North
should unite with the shareholders of the South
to elect MIR. Buchanan, just as they would unite
in any other profitable joint stock speculation.
With this sort of Virginia pleading in behalf
ofMr Buchanan it may appear very strange that
such fanatical disunion niger worshippers as
William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips,
should repe Fremont as unfit for the crisis and
incline rather to the support of Buchanan. Yet
they do. Garrison says that Fremont and the
Republican party are unsatisfactory 10 the abo-

promised and nothing can be expected from the
election of Fremont towards the repeal Of the
Fugitive Slave law or the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, or the suppression of
the interstate slave trade. In fact, Garrison
thinks that Fremont, as President, would be very
apt TO consent to the admission OF Kansas as q
slave State, If he could not prevent it without
dissoving the Union. The great objection Of
Wendell Phillips to Fremonti is the same. He
is nota dsunionist and is therefore rejected by
the dlsunion abolitionists with whom "the Union
is covenant with death, andthe Constitution a
league with hell Phillips, in view of the great
ultimatum of revolution and disunion, thinks the
election of Buchanan would be more advanta-
geous to the revolutionary cause, inasDuch as
with his Ostend Manifestos, Cincinnati platforms,
aid niger driving managers he would be very
apt to preciptate the decisive issue of section
al and servile war. Read the speeches of CARR
son and Phillips
Thus, i'll the strange startling and wonderful
party descriptions and complications of this ex-
citing and momentous canvass, we find Mr.. Bu-
chanan standing before us the preferred candi-
date of Southern niger drivers and secessionists
ana of Northern abolition disunionists. Cover
nor Wise and his Richmond Organ think that
the expected increase in the cash value of Mig
gers from the election OF MIR. Buchanan will pay
for everything; bnt the true and undisguised
disunion agitation, North or South, sees, no
doubt. like Wendell Phillips, that Buchanan's
success will be but the signal for that final agi.
tation which will destroy the republic and light
the flames Of civil and servile war.
In this connection, we must not overlook the
position in this campaign of w. H. Seward and
Tharlow Weed. Gen. Webb at Philadelphia,
stood almost SOLITARY and alone" in support of
Seward as the republican candidate. Thurlow
Weed has said that Fremont's nomination was
carried in that Convention by san ungovernable
mob" But it was simply the general voice of
the masses, opposed to this corrupt and demon
allied Pierce democracy, and asking something
better than Seward could give--it was the indie.
