ANTI-SLAVERY COMBINATION AGAINST
THE DEMOCRACY, THE CONSTITUTION
AND THE UNION.
The events of the day indicate in the clearest light
that the only contest next November will be between
the National Democracy and the Black Republicans

true friends of what is solid and enduring in the
management of public affairs, when great crisis

never was period when Presidential canvass af-

they certainly will the country will avoid the disas-
