1HE New Ork nerd0 In one OF ltS leau-
ing editorials, defines its position in the pres
ent campaign in very singular manner
The Herald, has advocated alternately the
nominees and the administration, of the vari-
Gus great political parties which have been
in power, and governed the country, for at
least the last twenty-four years, and profess
es in the following article, to have been con-
sstently the same as at present, for the last
thirty years
Our allegiance has always been given, as
it was due to the constitution its principles
and its compromises but to nothing be-
yond that AS a positive fact ana as a
benefcent institution, we have always regard
ed slavery in the South in favorable light,
both as an existing element of society and
as an indispensable necessity in warm tropic-
al ATTITUDES. We have lived in the South
as well as in the North, and are personally
acquainted with the condition of labor in
both sections Of the country. From expo
ricnce we know and believe that SOuthen
slave labor as a practical institution is
more favorable t. health, happiness 1and
comfort than tia Of Northern free labor,

guments and statistical data, bnt it is not
necessary for our present purpose that We
should enter more fully into its discussion.

have always taken the same view of i as
that entertained by the trainers and found
ers of the constitutions We have always
maintained that in the admission of free
States into the Union, an equilibrium ofrep-

the constitution.
These are some of the views whih We
have always maintained and whicl we
mean to stick to. These principles AID our
moral convictions have been the sane for
thirty years past and are the same ye
We apprehend that our opposition to
Buchanan, Fillmore, or any other candidate
for the Presidency has very little to do
with great constitutional principles We
are opposed to the party which supports
Buchanan, not because it is exclusively
Southern party, but because it is n corrupt.
vicious and dcmoralizing party, in whose
hands the interests of the country will not
be safe. We are opposed to Fillmore, be-
cause he is supported by the rump of the old
whig party, under false mask, falseprofcs-

We are inclined towards Fremont, Decause

his personal and political character, and
opposed to all the corrupt parties and poll

the more lavorably because we believe that
with him as President there will lie more
