the leading article in his last paper:
The Parties.
We have now three grand parties in
The United States-cach OF which is cons
tending for tie ascenIency. Two OF
these parties ale decidedly sectional and
anIagoni,sical. In the event Of the Lri~
umpn ol either of these two parties in
| NovemD.T next, the effect will be alike
diSastcrous to our common country. The
abuIIionists have atrayed themselves
against the, south, with Fremont and
Johnson as their candidates for President
and Vice President. THIS is sectional
party, and is SO regarded by all the SOU
thern people. rs we'll as by large por.
ton of the North. And the success OF
of this ticket would be the signal for
rebellion in the South. So say de-
mocrats. and SO think others. The
other sectional party is the democratic
party. These Two parties are carrying
On u north and south war; each party

er.. The democrats tell US it we don't
vote their ticket,5w VIC are no friend to the
south, and The abo!itiauists tell, US il we
IIdon'L vote theirs we are the enemies Ioi
the NORTH. The democrats proclaim thro'
their papers and leaders, and from every
hill top, that the success Of Line south in
this sectional contest, and the. salvation
OF the Union, are tinseparablyi connected.
They have vehement!y urged for months
that il was a war between the two grand
divisions. and that every friend OF The
south is bound to vote for their ticket
that there is no alternative. Theyh have re
peatedly said that all who oppose their
sectional candidates. Buchanan and Breck>
inridge, are abolitionists, that thereis but
one principle involved in the issue,
NORTHERN VICTORY or. SOUTH
ERN. VICTORY. and that. every zyoler
who refuses to4take sides with the south
is northern manini feeling and sentiment.
