Are You Ready,

Next Tuesday is the day on which the
great Presidential battle is to be fought.
Are our friends in the country ready :?
Do they appreciate the Importance of
this contest? Need we repeat, that it is
a struggle for the existence of the Union?
Hitherto, similar elections have in
volved questions merely affecting the do
mestic policy of the country-how the
government should be administered and
who should administer it. For the first
time in the history of the republic a
mighty issue has been made up for trial
in November, the result of which is to
decide whether we are to have any gov
eminent at all.
This is plain statement of the great
case now before the people. Stripped of
all outside complications and collateral
points of disagreement, this is the naked,
live, practical issue joined for the coming
election.
To talk of voting for Mr.. Fillmore is
folIy-the idlest and most suicidal of non
sense. 1.-The was ever so worthy of your
suffrages-ever so deserving of your sup
porto vote for him in this contest is to
help Fremont.
The fight is between Buchanan and
Fremont, Mr.. Fillmore being crowded
out of the field. These two represent
the antagonistic ideas of the present can
vass. Mr. Buchanan is the representa-
tive type of Union, of State and citizen
equality, of constitutional government ;
Mr.. Fremont, of disunion and State and
citizen degradation. Mr.. Fillmore stands
as the symbol of nothing-no, we mis-
take; his friends wish that he should re-
present the division and distraction of
the South on a question in regard to
which every prompting of selfpreserva-
ton dictates to us to be a amt
Now under which flag will you fight?
that which protects you in your rights
and perpetuates your government, or

| The hour of decision has arrived The mighty
masses Of the vast Republic are about to decide
| the most important political questions that have
agtated the public mind srcs the formation of the
federal constitution. 1t is not merely whether
this man or that man shall be elected to the Pres-
dancy or whether one party or another shall take
the seats of power. 1t is whether the Constitu-
ton shall be maintained in all its pristine vigor
and purity, or whether it shall be considered
musty old document of an unenlightened age, as it
has been described and denounced by the black
republicans of the North
The Constitution is the political Bible of the
true pstriot-the Moses and the Prophets of our
national dispensation. 1t i, the sheet anchor of
the South. And who shall say that its sacred
writings should be utterly disregardeds Yet the
opposition here would ignore its promises that the
fugitive alsve shall be returned; that the States
.h4lI have equal rights in the confederation, equal
rights to all common property of the county
They would strike out from that sacred platform
on which the country 30 securely stands, all the
compromises and guarantees of safety aud pros
perty which alone can preserve the Union.
By voting for Bcchanan and Breckenridge we
vote against the enemies of the Constitution. By
voting for either Fremont or Fillmore, whose sup
porters are acting together in many of the States
it is not impossible that we may be voting against
the best provisions of the Consti tuition itself. 1t
is perfectly SAFE for a Southern man to vote for
Buchanan 1t is at least UNSAFE to vote for either
of the candidates in the field sg,nst him.
That the first signal note from Tennessee will
be CANS well nobody seems to doubt. But We
hope to hear of heavy msjorites that shall come
laundering over the mountains and through the
valleys between the Cumberland river and the
Atlantic. EMUcFAW.
