Why DON'T BUCHANAN WITHDRAW +?

Why DON'T BUCHANAN WITHDRAW
The locofoco prints are full of dire fore
bodings that if Fremont is elected the
confederacy is at an end. Pushed to
the wall as punishment for their inso-
lence and crimes, receiving their just
deserts were not the welfare of the
whole country involved in the sectional
controversy, they cry out in the agony
of despair to the sound conservative
party for help. Like Dives in hell they
implore drop of water from the Amer.
leans to cool their parched tongues
There is but one course for salvation
They must repent of their evil ways
and turn into the path of political recti-
tude. They have the light of the gos.
pei before them. They see the gulf in
advance into which they are about to
plunge.
1t is now as plain as the sun in the
heavens that buchanan cannot carry a
single northern state-not one. His
support is to come entirely from the
south and will avail him nothing. Were
he out of the way Fillmore would ride
in triumph to Washington City. Every
southern state would cast its vote as
suredly for the statesman of New York
Northern men, naturally national in SEN
timent must inevitably rally around him
and render his election sure beyond the
shadow of doubt.
Had the south shown its nationality in
the recent elections, the conservative
men of the north had seconded them
with an ardor and zeal neveryet known
in political annals. "The American
party" say the locofocos "cannot carry
single state, and the lines of the other
two parties are drawing closer and closer
together" Admit the statement to be
true, and it must be obvious that Ere
mont will sweep the entire north by an
overwhelming vote. 1t cannot be ex-
pected that people raised under free
Institutions will longer submit to out.
RACES perpetrated upon them by the
sanction of Democracy. They would
be fools to suffer indignities longer in
the perpetuation of the same policy
which the present administration has
enforced. Hundreds of thousands OF
northern men are conservative in feeling
/ they despise Buchanan and execrate
Republicanism. They desire national
man who will restore peace to the coun.
try. But in no event will they vote fol
Buchanan, and would curse the houl
when compelled to vote for Fremont.
The locofocos represent the danger tc
the Union asimminent. Are they patriots
as they pretend ? Do they love the
Union! Let them give hope to the
conservative men of the north. They
must see that Buchanan cannot obtain a
northern electoral vote. Why will they
blindly persist in forcing their candi
date upon us = What is one man com
pared to the integrity of our common
country Why not withdraw man
who has no earthly show of success, and
rally to the support of Fillmore who car
carry all of Buchanans strength and
much more. If the putting down Of
fanaticism which RACES in the north is
to be accomplished at all, Fillmore is the
instrument. Buchanan men who talk
loudly of their devotion to the Union
ought to see the utter hopelessness Of
attempting to elect him. They do see
it. They ought to see if he were with
drawn Fillmore must win the field. They
do see it. 1t is evident. Make the
thing sure. Withdraw Buchanan and
stife Republicanism ere its hour Of
triumnh is more immediately near.
