The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-10-29

! We condense the following article from the
a Montgomery Alabama Mail. the movement
j, it describes is not confined to Alabama, but ha:
T already spread to Georgia, South Carolina and
Mississippi The Mail says:
e The leading democrats are beginning to ar
y que hatthere is no chance for Buchanan or Fill
more; that Fremont must be elected; and they
are busy getting pledges OF disunio's IN case o
!, Fremont's election. We call on our friend:
4 throughout the State, to mark this new posi-
f ton of the southern democracy, that Buchanan
cannot be elected. What the sonth will do. i
Fremont should be elected, is question fol-
. consideration when that event shall have oc
! Cured Fremont need not be, cannot possible
E be elected, if the south will rally tohe supper
5 of Fillmore. 1t true, that the northern cleo
tons have proved that Buchanan is without
strength or support there; while it is equally
true, that Fillmore can get New FORK and Other
1 northern votes enough 10 secure his election
] with the votes Of the south Americans, dem
ocrats, do you prefer to have Fremont elected
with probable dissolution of the Union TO fol
low, or Fillmore elected and the Union pre-
served? If the latter, you must rally 10 the
support of Fillmore and the Union at once.
Fillmore will assuredly get the vote Of New
York, and more than probably that of Pennsyl-
vania, for the Union men throughout the Uni
on will centre upon him Should the south do
trouble; and. if the south does not rally around
him, Fremont will be elected. Let every true
southcrner consider this fact.
Let it be known every where, thatthe Buch-
anan men in Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi,
and throughout the south generally, despairing
of the success of their candidate, are, in the
fright created by their anticipated defeat. getting
pledges for the organisation OF a new party for
/ the purpose OF dissolving the Union. We be-
/ Iieve, ourself. that Fremont's election would
work disunion; but are for staying of such
l dire calamity, and at the same time forever 81
llencng the freesoil and abolition fanatics, by
eieciing to the presidency a truly conservative,
national statesman. And Fillmore is the only
man the people can rally around for that pur-
pose. The recent immense demonstrations IN
favor of Fillmore throughout New York, ex
ceeding il magnitude and display all previous
political demonstrations ever witnessed, proves
the temper Of that Safe, and affords a guar
antee that her thirtyfve electoral votes will be
cast for him. The south casts 100 electoral
votes, making with New York So. or six votes
more than are necessary TO elect president OF
the United States. But Fillmore will get 9TH /!
er northern States, besides New York, SO that
it will take less than the whole south 10 elect 7
him. The electoral vote OF Pennsylvania. to-
gether with that OF all the southern States, T
would not be sufficient TO elect Mr. Buchanan:
and there is but little, if any, prospect Of his
carrying Pennsylvania, and no earthly chance !
whatever of his getting all the southern States,
his chances for the presidency are utterly hope
less. We speak in earnest. The only chance
to defeat Fremont is for the south TO unite on
Fillmore. The mere concession made by the
friends of Buchanan, III asking pledges of dis
union in easeof Fremont's election, shows that
they already consider themselves defeated.

THE TRUE DocTR1NE.-Under the caption of
mfr. Breckenridge on Slavery" that able old
southern journal, the Vicksburg Wing, con-
,ludes a long leader as follows:
We do profess to belong to party that Jauors
he extension Of slapery into any of the territories
II the United States, and into any new State
where majority of the legal voters, AT the time
Of the adoption of the constitution, will vote for
t. We favor that extension 10 such degree
hat we hope to see the southern people assist
ng it with ''mea and money" and we favor it
because we believe il TO be a matter of rtot ne
essity to the people oil, the south. We regret
hat Dir. Breekenridge's example has induced
0ntbern men to adhere to party that is not IN /
fagor Of the extension Of sLarery. where it may {
he legitimately and properly carried. +
So do the people of Louisiana--the people ,
# the entire south-west-wlth the exception of n
be office-holders and the osedient old party ,
acks, who are bound to bend their necks sub ;
aissively to any yoke, and are equally bound =,
0 endorse and swear by the declarations OF their
tandard bearers. Such politicians have 10 .
xed opinions, entertain no political principles ,
t their own; but obedientlF, submissively fol- +
'w theirleaders, and repeat and proclaim what s
1ey say Had Mr.. Breckenridge announced, +.
ne day, aye!ehour previous to the meeting of :
lie democratic national convention, that he was
with no political organisation which ,
as IN Jdgor OF the extension of slavery, he
ould not have received the vote of southern :
elegate for the vice presidency Not even one +
oatherner would have dared to propose him p
II that high station. =
LOOK AT THE REcoRp.-The anti-American
rgans throughouttlle south have been for some
eeks past publishing, with great pride, the {
blowing paragraph, pretending that it shows c
the world the estimation In which Mr.. Cal S
oun held Mr.. Buchanan, in regard to the i'll
tuition Of slavery in the south: * l.,
"zs Mr.. Buchanan has l.abitually indicated, :,
4 the dangerous questions of slavery, correct
c. Calhoun o
If the above paragraph embraced all that L
r. Calhoun said on the occasion, it would t.
erely place Mr.. Buchanan in a somewhat ia v
orable light before the south-ot that e. Il
ut reference to the record, to the official
urnal of the Z. S. senate, will show that ALL D
i'd on that occasion BY Jno. G. Calhoun, placed .

1xious to assign him. We italicise the por- b
