BUCHANAN'S POPULARITY.

The Delaware Gazette very truly remarks:
-'.Nothing proves more clearly the popular
ity of Mr. Buchanan than the fact that mem
bers of both the opposite factions assert
preference for his election. 1t is therefore a
very common occurrence to see Know No
thing and Republican meet and separate
the one declaring that he would prefer Bu-
chanan to Fillmore and the other swearing q
Fremont is an Abolitionist, opposed to the
Union, and that he would vote for Buchanan
in preference.
The reason of this is in the fact that each
of these parties know Mr.. Buchanan to be a
great and wise man, in whose keeping all the
interests of the government will be entirely
secure

RACK REPUBLICAN SENTIMENTS

The Rayenna (Ohio) Retornter, Black
Republican print, in recent issue gives ut
terance to the following:
..Our readers will remember that, in our
last paper, we published a speech from Ger
,i.t Smith in which he takes the ground that
arms alone will free the slave. If this be so,
what is our duty7 Is it to set still and wait
for some one in Kansas to begin the war:
Let Gcrritt write call for Recol' t:ona1y
Conreatioa put it IN circulation, and go through
the North lifting up his trumpet voice in call
ing the people to arms to put down slavery.
and he will find host rallying to his STAN
dard, Such movement will never come
from such men as Lane and Robinson. 1t
is not your merely restive and adventurous
renegade Democrat who will lead in fighting
for the slave AbotitiOaiSts mast lead IN THIS
holy ,car, and it is high tune that the apostle
of this armed crusade for freedom lifted up
his VI ice"
In the same spirit tue New York Tribune
recommends Governor Chase, of Ohio to con-
woke the Legislature to raise an army OF i've
thousand men, send it to Kansas to fight the
United States troops. and thus commence the
most deadly and unfortunate fratricidal strug-
gle the world has ever seen.
The partisans Of that faction III Congress
sought to strike down the national government
by Withholding supplies from the army. They
have already arayed one class of States against
another, and in the conflict of sections are dali
" weakening the Union sentiments. Their
speakers and newspapers are daily promulga-
ting disunion sentiments. they display ban
ners bearing upon them but sixteen stars. in
stead of thirty-one. Their course certainly
tends to civil war, and yet there are Thousands
blind to the terrible consequences, and delu-
ded into the belief that they are acting with a
national and patriotic party

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

ture The Republicans, though anxious to

That the bill of Senator Toombs provide
for the return of ali Free State men who

HOW GOES THE BATTLE.

The Black Republicans are endeavoring to
count up the late State elections, with view
to show the popularity of Fremont, but in do
ing so they forget that elections have been
held recently in any States other than Iowa,
Vermont and Maine. and begin with these
three-whcreas; taking all the States that have
held elections since the opening of the Presi-
Dental campaign, the result points conclusive
ly to the fact that the people have resolved to
elect James Buchanan President of the Uni
ted States. We subjoin the results as indica-
ted by the late elections, with the number of
electors TO which each State is entitled -

FREMONT AND DISUNfON

10 voting for Fremont, portion of the
North tenders to the South the issue of this
Union or unconditional submission. If FIRE.
mont be elected he comes in as the professed
enemy of the South. No Southerner, with
out trcachery to his section Of the Union, can
become a member of his cabinet. His admin
istration, if it keeps the promises of the can
vass must deprive the South of all interests
in the territories, and harass sud injure sla-
very in the Statea We do not believe that
any portion of the South will submit to his
administration. We are sure that large por-
tons will not. Disunion, tnen, in the event
of his election, is inevitable.
Such an event is very remote contingen-
cy, but let the North and South epare to
meet 1t. Let us, possible, part peacefully
Let the North determine whether it will have
several ccnfederacies or one. Let Pennsyl-
vania, New jersey, Indiana, and Illinois see
whether their interests will not be best promo
ted by uniting with the Southern confederacy
Let California, too study well the question,
whether she will have Pacific republic, be-
come tributary to New England or unite with
the South. Let us all lock these contingen-
cies fully in the face. 1t is not too late f,r
treason and Fremont to retreat, nor for the
friends Of the Union to lash them from the
field, if We will but combine.
But let no one indulge the fatal deluson
that Fremont may be elected and yet the
Union preserved. There is not one single
possibility of such result. 1t is hard to
keep it together even now. Then, it would
fall to pieces without even struggle to pre-
serve it.-Richn,Oud Enquirer

RHODE ISLAND POLITICS.
From an Occasional Correspondent.

From an Occasional Cor e.pondent
PROVIDENCE, Tuesday, Feb -, 1856
The prominent issue in our State election in
April next will be- no more Stare States and Free
dom for Kansas Through one or more political
organizations the people Of this busting manufac-
turing State will carry out their Am Nebraska aud
Anti-AdministratiOn sentiments. The old Free
Sellers of Rhode Island have held one or two pre-
limnary meetings, elected Delegates to the Pitts
burgh Convention, and started paper to promote
unity OF action among the friends of Freedom
throughout the State
To-day the Temperance men held a Convention
in Providence, which was fully attended, and after
much animated discussion on the expedency Of
making the Slavery issue the only in the Spring
election, platform was finally adopted embracing
the ProhibitOry Law as well as Freedom in the
Territories the two objects to be secured in the
election OF State officers and members of the AS
sembly.
Some of the best Temperance men in the State,
in view OF the threatening aspect OF the Slavery
question and considering that free institutions
were IN immediate peril from Southern encroach-
ments, were strongly in favor OF p0stpOnlng the
PrObibitOry Law movement, and uniting all the
AntNebrasks men in the State on the single and
simple Issue of no more Slave territory. But a
large majority of the Convention thought other
wise, and some of the speakers went so Tar as
to say that the Temperance cause in Rhode
Island was OF more Importance than Freedom IN
Kansas or anywhere else. This sentiment seemed
to be the prevailing opinion in the Convention
was sorry TO notice that such was the fact. For
if the Anti-Nebraska voters in this State should
finally fail 10 concentrate their votes on one ticket
the Democratic or Administration party will carry
the State, and Rhode Island will then stand CON-
mitted TO Border Ruffianism, and probably It's
electoral vote in the Fall given TO the Presidential
candidate of the Slaveocracy.
There are such powerful influences at work here
10 bring about a union of Straight Wings and
Pierce and Douglas Democrats, that 1t is feared
BY some OF the wsest among us that our sham
Democracy, by taking the cotton interest OF Rhode
leland under lts fatherly care, and promising that
the Democratic Senators in Congress will support
both Slavery and tariff will carry the State In
the Spring, in spite Of the united opposition. A
perfect union Of all sections Of the Antl-Nebraska
forces is necessary 10 defeat the party which hopes
through the aid OF Caleb Gushing and the cotton
manufacturers OF the State, 70 retain its Offices
and the goodwill of the South.
What will give increased interest 10 our Spring
election, is the fact that upon the Legislature then
TO be chosen devOlves the responsible duty OF
eectiDg an United States Senators for SIX years,
10 take the place OF Mr. James, whose term ex-
pires in 81. There are many asplrants Tor tue
honor. Mr.. James himself being one OF the Tore
most. But-nO matter. the people prefer Dr.
Waylsnd or Thomas Davis. Dun.
