The Election of Mr.. Buchanan
will Encourage the Extension
of Slavery. -.NG 1ssii ~ -f.

Southern presses and Southern men
speak out nowadays in bold words. II
Northern Freemen do not hear, it will be
because of willful deafness. Not only do
the friends Of Buchanan openly avow dis
union as the consequence of Fremonfs
election, but the plan Of division-yes, the
metes and bounds of the two confedera-
| cies are fixed. Yea, the Slave Power
dare not cram down the ihroats of their
Northern Buchanan allies, the very terms
on which this Union is to be dismembered,
and these allies will roll it as sweet NOR
sci under their tongue, because their South
ern masters so ordain it. 49,.
To show that slavery extension is to fol-
low Buchanan's election, read from the
Richmond (Va.) Enquirer Of Aug. goth
as follows: .-.a
LOOK THE FUTURE IN THE FACE.
Every ones experience attests the truth
of the maxim that, very often, the way to
arrest danger is to meet it half way. To
prepare for it is often TO avert it. The os-
trich, by concealing its head in the sand,
does not elude or disarIn the huntsman.-
To close our eyes to impending danger,
will but increase that danger, and 'precipi-
tate our ruin. To yield TO Black Repub-
licanism will neither mollify its anger, nor
satiate its hungry rapaeity. Give up Kan
sas to them; give them all the territories !;
and like the horseleech, their thirst for
blood will increase by its gratification.--
Teach them that they can conquer, and zee
can submit, and the flush of victory will
stimulate their newborn courage for fresh
pretensions and further victories. 'Tis trea-
son to cry "Peace peace when there is no
peace" There is, there can be no peace,
no lasting union between the South and
Black Republisanism. Either that politi-
cal heresy must De efeetudily and toreoer
pat dorm, or disunion IS ineyitd6le. If
come it must, the sooner it comes the bet
ter, for our enemies increase by the half
million annually, whilst our OWN numbers
are almost stationary.
"A multitude like which the popunus North
Ponr'd never from her frozen loins, to presS
Rhine Danube, when her barjrous sons
Came like deluge on the South,
And spread beneath Gibraltar to the I.yhian sand"
The multitude ready to rush down on
the South is greater, hungrier, more rapac
ious than them. The actors are the same.
The prolific Teuton or Gothic race, seek
ing homes and food, onethe one hand; the
descendants of Southern Europeans, at
tempting to aepel them, on the otlIer.-,-

enemies. Lei us. prepare to resist them

Give them all the unsettled territory north

Sellers. they will claim all south of $3.50.
Yield that, too, and the next day they will
invade the States. expel the slaves, and
seize upon our laeds; for agtarianism is al

Slavery, and the extension of the British
and Southern European races, for the very

the lands north of SO deg. 80 min, increase
their numbers and their rapacty, and only
postpone disunion to aperiod when it would,
be more perilous than at present. Besides,
his election might go far to wean the af-.
fection, confidence and attachment of the
Catholics from our institutions, who are
now their best stay and support. They
might then think that the rule of the Pope
would be better than no rule-the govern
ment of pirates better than the anarchy of
infdelity- Conservative as Mr. Fillmore
and most of his friends pretend to be, the
compromise which they propose is but a
step towards Black Republicansm, a SUBJ
