for . Few administration, and new
division Of the public plnnder Of
one hundred millions year. Nothing
more. Mr. Jefferson was elected in his day upon
a test question between him and the imbecile
administration of his predecessor. So it was
with General Jackson against John Quincy
Adams, and SO it WAS in more striking de-
gree, in the overwhelming election of General
Harrison. The true plan of the opposition
forces lie the plan of 1S40-the sinking of all
party lines, all factions, all distractions, all
old leaders, old notions, and old trumpery, in
a general demand for q new administration
upon the merits Of common candidate and
COMMON cause, higher than niggerism and
deeper than Know Nothingism. 1t might be
high enough and deep enough and broad
enough aud strong enough to support all the
isms and all the floating opposition materials
in general movement 10 "crush out' the
Pierce dynasty while yet the iron ia hot.
Among the various newspapers Of the oppo,
sition camps We find various names brought
forward for this momentous struggle with our
Pierce hlioustering and niger driving demo
cracy. The most prominent among these
names are Judge Mclean aad Governor CHASE
OF Ohio, Speaker Banks and Senator Samssr
Of Massachusetts, W. Fl. Seward and George
Law of New York, Stockton of New Jersey,
Houston Of Texas, and Col. Fremont of South
Carolina. All these, with scarcely an excep-
tion but the last, we hold to be sectional, par
tissn, unreasonable aud unavailable. Judge
Mclean, like Mr.. Buchanan, has been standing
aspirant tor twenty years; but one such highly
respectable cid gentleman is enough at time
from the tone Of the opposition newspaper
press, especially at the Northwest, and from
what we see and hear about US from day to
day, Col Fremont, who is . fresh man.
whose life is full of romantic exploits and
daring adventures which have msde strong
impression upon the public mind, Who is q man
Of fine education and fine talents, who has no
personal or party grudges to reconcile, no old
speeches or resolutions to cripple him, and no
old conflicting partizan associations of any
kind to be trumped up against him, seems to
be the true champion for ell tie factions Of
the oppesition. Opposed to the extension Of
slavery, he is not niger wo.shipper-he is
not Catholic-he is not Know Nothing;
but in opposition to this Pierce dynasty, they
all may fuse upon him as upon compromise,
where each su1enders something that all may
gain.
We turn over these suggestions to the Auti-
Slavery Know Nothing Convention which
meets il this city on the 18th; and to the grand
niger worshippers' Convention, which meets
in Philadelphia on the 18th. Our advice is
gratis, without money and without price. Dis
posed to see justice done both to the demo
cTacy and to inc opposition, it would be apity,
with such abundant resources for splendid
fight, to see the election go by default. The
thickeniug clouds and the increasing thunder
and Lighting about us portend tremendous
tempest. With the majority Of the people on
their eide, it is for the opposition forces to say
who it is that is to ride upon this political
whirlwind and direct the storm.
