has been nothing consolidated but few score Of

for James Buchanan, who knows all the facts of

The PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS IN 0LD VIRGINIA.
We give from our own reporter (who is on the
spot) a full, particular and most interesting ac-
count Of the progress of the Presidential canvass
in Old Virginia. The campaign was inaugurated,
a. our readers will recollect, by the famous
speech Of Governor Wise, showing the advantages
which the election Of Buchanan would secure
TO the South in the rise which IL would occasion
in the price Of niggcrs. The controversy may
be said 10 be fairly opened in the South between
the two pro-slavery candidates, Buchanan and
Fillmore, by Me discussion which took place be-
tween their adherents at the Orange Court
House, on the 27th. All the eloquence and
zeal expended by their supporters on that oc-
cason goes TO show that never did two public
characters come before the country whose careers
preseutcd so many inconsistencies and tcrgiversa-
tons as James Buchanan and Willard Fillmore.
Nothing can be more edifying than the eposfs of
the political acts Of both presented at this meet
ing. On one point, however, the partizans on
each side seem agrecd-that they are respec-
lively the beau ideals Of pro-slavery champions,
and anxious alike for rise in the Niger market.
In this controversy, addressed to the slav,o
holders Of the South who number only 100000.
the Buchanan and Fillmore men do not seem to
take into account the 100000 or 100000 votes Of
non-slaveholders which will be brought to bear
on the Presidential election. We should like to
see movement set on foot calling upon all these
non.slavchoders in the Southern voters to hear
the arguments 10 favor Of Fremont-the only man
who can settle the slavery question for all time.
and demolish the errors and prejudices by which
il IL surrounded.
One thing has been made evident by this open
ing OF the Presidential canvass In Virginia and
,ba, IT, that under our tuition the politicians OF
virginia have improved greatly in manners.
When about a year since, we sent a reporter to
VIRGINIA, out Of kindness TO Governor Wise and
TO do him favor by reporting his speeches, our
representative was set upon, nsulted, and mobbed
nv the Governors adherents In fact, the con.
duct Of the Virginia politicians at that time
offers a close parallel TO the habits which are
prevalent just now in the high class society Of
Tho Five Points and Of Washington. On the
prepent occasion our correspondent has been
treated with the courtesy and good feeling due
to his mission. The Virginia politicians know
from their past experience that he will do them
iustice. and report them fairly and accurately
with this Improvement in the manners OF the
noli,ieians OF old Virginia we take them back
INTO onr good opinion and confidence vcnturng
a. the same time to predict that under our
| tuition they will become accomplished statesmen
and gentlemen

ments from this important Southern vot-
ing eiement were strikingiy illustrated
in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, in 1851, when, upon the direct question
of secession, on account Of the admission Of Calls.
fornia as free State, the secessionists in eaxk
of those States were routed and reduced to sur
render. Mr. Toombs, Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Blu
chanan will remember that in South Carolina
where their preparations for secession were the
more decisive than in any other Southern State.
A little reflection upon these figures, facts and
conclusions, will serve to show that our Southern
secessionists are playing false and ridiculous
game, that there is superior weight of metal
opposed to them, even in their own section and
that there is nothing to fear from the election Of
Fremont in the way Of disunion. We believe, too,
that there need be no cause of alarm to the most
credulous of Southern shareholders from the sue
cess of Fremont. On the contrary, while we be-
lieve that from his past life, his history, edu-
cation and early associations, his election
would be the harbinger Of peace between the
North and South-if peace there is to be-we also
launch Us upon sea of flibustering adventures
which could only end in mischief to US all, and
most disastrously to the South.
We have no sympathy with abolition agitators.
Our views upon the abstractquestion of Southern
slavery are we II known 1t isasystem under which
the African is enlightened, and socially and mo-
rally elevated beyond his advancement under
any other system in the history Of the race-it is
system from which the products Of the South,
the manufactures and commerce Of the North,
the wealth of both sections, and the power and
prosperity of the Union have been so wonder
fully developed. So far, therefore, from enter
tanning any of these modern abolition ideas that
Southern slavery should be abolished or restrict
ed, we are decidedly in favor of its extension
from time to time where climate and productions
favor it, for the purpose of preserving to the
South self-sustaining balance Of power in the
government.
Finally, as Fremont is Southern man, of the
non-slaveholding class and as he has been favo-
rably taken up in Kentucky as Presidential
candidate, we would admonish our secession
brethren not to be alarmed if this Kentucky
movement should be rapidly followed up in every
Southern State, because it may be safely done
without prejudice to Southern rights or the
Union, and without any very alarming reduction
even in the price of niggers.

voters in the South. Assuming that with the for
ner class the price OF niggers is everything and
that TO them. with the defeat Of Buchanan, the
Union will become intolerable. there j. yet this
anti-slayeholding class Of 100000 voters with
whom the price Of niggers is little or nothing and
the Union everything. There i natural anita

the South Il is niggers to the extent Of two thou
sand millions or more Of invested capital. In
both sections however II is an aristocracy Of cap
ital, against which there is a continual war from
the democracy Of labor. Upon any such danger
Gus experiment, therefore a. secession this demo-
cracy OF the South will be apt to see the cues
tion in wholly different light from that Of the
aristocracy around them, and the latter will in.
eyitably be defeated.
We must remember that the three-iNhs Of thei
slaves allowed the South in their enumerations
for Congress, do not apply to the slaveholding
voters Of that section in the elections. Gen.
Wade Hampton Of S. c., with over thousand
slaves, and the poorest white voter Of his dis

upon the presumption that the political senti-
ments Of the laboring whites Of the South are at

democracy would have us believe this, but from
certain late confessions from the newspapers Of
South Carolina, we perceive that though "the
poor whites Of that section have neisher organs
