We are close ON to the election. II will
soon be past. The future Of parties will
then be open for every man to look ct. But
yet, II il a. apparent to every wa.chful and
rejecting mind now as il viii be one month
or one year hence. And it is not useless, but
calculated TO instruct and stimulate us in the
present canvass, to consider the topic.
Its very plain that the Black Democracy

pose IT triumphs nov, whose triumph 10 it,
and what is it triumph Of? 1t will be .
triumph of the Slavery -PropAgandisss who
lead and direct it. Ii will be . triumph Of
the Pro-Slavery policy and principle. Can
any body question tina, ? The Pro-Slavery
leaders would 50 claim it, and improve upon
it accordingly. II would be 90 understood,
% confessed, and 30 treated. No sensible.
well-informed and candid man would deny
1t. And that is to say that the Slavery-Pro-
pagandisss, with the element, principle, poll
cy which they represent and advocate, will
triumph through and by means of the
Buchanser party, which thereby becomes, ar
nscessitste, the open, recognized Pro- Slave
~ party. 1t 10 such now. No intelligent
and candid man denies it. But its success
At the North would be comparatively limited
and qualified we're il not for the deception
practiced in this regard, whereby the true
state Of the facts is hidden from the public
apprehension. What viii be its strength
here when its true character 10 fixed and un-
questioned IL it is defeated it viii BE-
thenceforth none the less, but all the more
certainly, Pro-Slavery party, and Pro-
Slavery party simply. The South, that 10,
the ultra, Slavery South, will have party |;
they will cali oil their forces together, and
they viii make one party; it will be their
party, will represent their principle, viii be
the organization through which they viii
light their battles, IL there 10 no such party,

now; il is in their hands; it will continue
along as their party, recognized and pro-
claimed 1t viii have no other principle or
policy left on which to stand, and would sink
into oblivion il 1t did not become such. l,
becomes, then, very plain that the party
whether successful or defeated in this cam

Slavery party. And that such . party car
become popular party, and 80 triumphan,
