A Rule that Won't Work Two Ways.

Mr. Rreckiprdge the Buchanan candidate for the Vice
Presidency stamping through the Free States for him
self and old Buck and everywhere meets he should, the
kpdes: receptions He is to be at Philadelphia the 18th.
Bu what of arecepton would Mr. Dayton the Repub-
Lean candidate for the same office meet II he were to ven

Ne,c York Times abolition
Fremont and Dayton have no Electoral ticket in
the slavehoding States, will they have. They
are utterly sectional in their character. They stand
upon platform which makes them and their sup
porters the mortal enemies Of erery man, sooman and
child in the Southern States We regard them
PERSONAL mortal enemies. If they should succeed
in this contest, as we do not believe they will, the
result will be separation of the States. No human
power can prevent it. If some of the Southern
States should be disposed to wait and see what the
wolf would do with the lamb, or the hawk with the
dove others will not,-South Carolina, Alabama,
and Georgia, not to include Virginia, would place
themselves in such an attitude at once to sever
existing political relations. And then what would
Fremont and the vultures of the Times the Tribune,
and the Herald doy Whip us in? Perhaps they
would attempt to send troops but there enough
true men in the free States to meet and exterminate
the troops and their traitor leaders their own
ground Dissolve the Union by the act Of the North,
and the North would, in less than six MONTHS by its
oun act, and By rsusrsal Of its judgment, restore
iagan fit could The position of the South is entirely
defensive. Our people ask only their Constitutional
rights and to be let alone. All they expect in Kan
sas is fair play and the prevalence of law. The
Southern people, a people, are no more RESPONSE
bic for the action Of the Missourians in Kansas than
the people of the North are, people, for the
tcn of the e1nssares and agents of the Emigrant
Aid Society,"" True, our sympathies are with the
prosavery men, and VIC trust they may succeed IN
making Kansas slave State; but we denounce no
Northern man who honestly wishes to make Kansas
free State. Let the people Of the Territory, aohen
they come to form State Constitution decide this
question for Themselves aoitAout let hindrance from
any quarter Let the principle of the Kansas-Ne-
braska act be fairly carried out and the South will
not complain Why, what is the great object of
that act? 1t says in substance to Congress and the
sates, this The subject of slavery is one over
which Congress has no control. Let Massachusetts,
and North Carolina be at peace. Let Massachusetts,
and let North Carolina 60 to Kansas, and settle the
Territory taking with them such property as is rec
osnized in the Constitution, or any property they
may choose to take; and let the people of the Terri
tory when they come to assume sovereignty, estab-
Ash Or prohibit slavery as TO them may seem best.
That is the sprit-that is the object of the Kansas
Nebraska act But Fremont and his supporters say
no. They insist on restoration of the Missouri
line, and afterwards on the Wilmot Proyiso for all
territory south of that line. They insist the use
Of all the powers of the federal government to limit
Slavery, and thereby destroy it. They denounce
the institution as curse, and they affect to regard
lssupporters as crminals-as their interiors social
y aud politically. They would repeal the fugitive
Slave law, leaving Southern men protection against
Adnappers and man.stealers They would create
Nnsurrecton and servile war in the South-they
would put the torch to dwellings and the knife
our threats They are, therefore, our enemies;
and they are the enemies of the Constitution and
Inc Union. Their triumph would be the beginning
devils and caamities such as have never been known
In this country.
