The Character Of the PRESIDENTIAL
Contest.

4. we advised our readers, in our last
issue. the coalition between the Black he'
rublcsns and tn. Know \othines OF the
North j. complete. The New York Hers
aid gives u. in detail the history OF the"
conventions. They breathe throughout ~
IN. .peeches OF members aud in their plat
forms. the most embltiered hostility TO the
South
The Know Nothing Convention WAS
composed OF 80 delegates, numbering
,uonr them Governors OF States, Members
Of Congress, Judges, and men OF literary
distinction. We do not see any statement
Of the number of delegates IN the Black
Republican Convention. Bnl Il Is asserted
that there were 1000 persons present from
the commencement TO the close OF ITS de.
alterations In both Conventions the most
bitter speeches were made against the South
and what they termed the slave power.
The ohlee. was openly aud boldly pro
claimed to be to unite all the "isms' OF the
North, and 10 combine them in one Ism,
which they deuominaio patriotism, to pre-.
vent the extension of slavery. Acting un.
der the advice of the New York Tribune,
they have nominated men OF moderate FREQ
soil feelings the representatives, OF this one
idea. Fremont, aud DAYTON ale said to be
both Southern born and Southern raised
men-the first Of North aud the other OF
South Carolina
This combination is well calculated to
create alarm No such Reasonable eIe>
ments have ever before been brought to-
cether in this country The Hartford on
vention was purity and innocence in com
pa;ison with it, That WAS held IN seer :,
aud composed Of u few insignificant ln' =

of dsy Reasonable sentiments are ut
tered in the presence OF thousands, who
greet them with applause.
In the North. the Presidential contest
will be the most exciting that has ever az
