WHO ARE THE DISTINGUISHES

ists'' is at present raised against .he support
ers of Fremont. y reference to facts, howey-
er, will at once show that the simon-pure Alb
olitfonists. who are the Disunionists OF the
North, and their Disunion brethren Of the
South go hand in hand against Fremont, and
for Buchanan.
Wendell Philips, the head and front of Alb
olitionism, in an oration on the 4th OF July,
in which the character, chances and principles
of The several Presidential candidates were re-
viewed, came TO the conclusion that it viii
best suit the object of his party to have the
Democrats succeed. He says he infinitely
prefers the election of Buchanan to that of
Fremont, s.because it srostN most certainly lead
10 Dissolution of MeUaion - Wendell ought
to know.
The New York .Gnti-Slarery Standard, the
organ of the Garrisonian Abolitionists. and
warm advocate of the dissolution OF the Uni
on, takes strong ground against the Republi-
can party. 1t gives, in its leading article
week ago, an extract of letter from "clear
sighted Aboltionist in Massachusetts, who
says that the success of the Republicans s'irW

Parker Pillsbury, prominent Disunionist in
speech at birmingham on. the 4th of July,
declared his preference for the election of Bu-
chanan, s'becaEse Il uonld tend 10 promote and
iaf,tence The .3Hfi-Slavery agitation, trtiic that
Of Fremont ,rould tend 10 a cessation Of it.''
Thus it win be seen that the Garrisonian Abb
olitionist, such as Wendell Phillips and that
stripe OF Disunion wishers, prefer the election
of Buchanan to Fremont, because they see in
it a more certain cause that will rupture the
Union.
When we turn to the South, We find that the
disunonists support Buchanan with one ac-
cord. The Charleston Mercury, a prominent
supporter of Buchanan, alluding to the Sum
ner affair, and the unanimity with which it has
been applauded at the South and condemned
at the \ orth, says:
s'We rejoice at any event which makes COM
'' mon cause at the South, and foreshadows
'' her destiny as u seperate and independent
" people"
And as an evidence of the temper prevail
ing among Mr.. Buchanan's supporters, the fol-
lowing extracts are selected from authentic
records of opinions expressed by men, all Of
whom are now prominent supporters of Bu-
chanan
