pose that We should enter more fully into its
discussion
-As 10 slavery in It's political aspect, We have
ained by the franeers and founders of the con-
stitution. We have always maintained that in
the admission Of free States into the Union, an
equilibrium OF representation should be pre-
served to the South, more especially in the Sc
nate. II, for instance, Kansas should be admitted
as free State, we hold that another slave State
should be carved out Of Virginia, Texas, or Flo
rida, 80 as to preserve the balance OF the const-
tuition.
These are some Of the views which we have al
ways maintained and which we mean to stick to.
These principles and our moral convictions have
been the same for thirty years past and are the
same yet
We apprehend that our opposition to Bucha-
nan, Fillmore, or any other candidate for the
Presidency, has very little to do with great con-
stitutional principles. We are opposed to the
party which supports Buchanan, not because it
is an exclusively Southern party, but because it
is corrupt, vicious and demoralizing party, in
be safe. We are opposed to Fillmore, because he
is supported by the rump Of the old wing party,
under false mask, false professions, false
principles and false leaders, with no sim
cere or well defined objects in view. We are
inclined towards Fremont, because he is new
man. untrammelled by pledges or antecedents,
unimpeachable both as regards his personal and
political character, and opposed to all the cor
rupt parties and politicians who have hitherto
had the administration Of our affairs. We look
upon him the more favorably because we believe
that with him as President there will be more
chance Of carrying out those administrative re-
forms which all must admit are imperatively
called for in the present condition of our insttu
tons We have no doubt that there are persons
innumerable in the South who entertain similar
opinions to these and it is an improper use OF
words to class the HERALD, or the persons who
think with it, in the same category with Wilson,
Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Seward or
Sumner, Theodore Parker, Henry Ward Beecher,
Fred. Douglass and other abolitionists, black re-
publicans and rabid secessionists Of the North
and South. We are merely using the black re-
publican rascals for the purpose of getting re-
form and revolution in the administration of the
government.
five are to Judge from the vast influx Of sub
scribers which is pouring in to US from all parts
of the country, but more particularly from the
South, we should say that these sentiments are
beginning to prevail generally throughout the
country and we believe that before the month of
November next there will be a large and infu-
entail party in favor of Fremont in the South,
which, uniting with his supporters in the North,
viii very much increase the chances of his cleo
ton. But this party will not be composed Of
corrupt spoilsmen, intriguing Office seekers and
insane disunionists. They win form q firm pha-
lanx Of the friends and supporters Of the consti-
tuition determined to carry the election of their
candidate on high moral and constitutional
grounds
