The Issue in a Nutshell.

The Columbus Ga Times and Sentinel says:
There are certain great principles involved
in the Presidential contest. The Black Re-
publican party have made up an issue with the
South particularly, and with conservative men
in every section Of the Union. They declare
that slavery in the Territories is unconstitu-
tional, and that it is the right and duty of Con-
gresS to prohibit its existence in all the Terri
tories particularly in Kansas and Nebraka.
The Fillmore party joins issue by declaring
that slavery is constitutional in all the Terrific
ries except Nebraska and Kansas; that in those
Territories slavery was abolished by Act of
Congress, on the 9Th March, 1920; and that
that act ought to have been held sacred and
inyiolable; and that its repeal in 1854 was
''reckless and unwise," and wantonly done It O
aid in personal advancement rather than in
any public good"
The Democratic party joins issue with the
Black Republicans by declaring that slavery
is Constitutional in all the Territories, Nebras
ka and Kansas included The Democratic
party also takes issue with the Fillmore party
) by declaring that the Act of Congress of 6tl
March, 1920 abolishing slavery in Nebraska
and Kansas being inconsistent with the prin
: clple OF non,nteryeniionby Congress with sla
very in the States and Territories, is inopera
: tive and void.

Emblem Of Consolidation.

The Know Nothing flag which we see flying
in the public square every day, is the old blue
leht federal emblem of n consolidated govern
mcnt Of central sovereign power.
The stars upon it which should represent the
sorereign States are SO arranged as to form
one great star, thereby indicating subordt
naiion of the States to the central government
when the reverse is the true cha"actc OF then
relation to the federal government. This
Know Nothing flag repudiatcs state sovereign
ty and state rights; merges them in one an'
constitutes them as triJutary to central con
Solidatcd power.

States, he ought to vote for Fremont and
Dayton. IF citizen believes, though, slavery
is constitutional in the Territories, that the
law of 1920 abolishing slavery in the Terrific

vote for Fillmore and Donclson. But II cit

United States are open to settlement from cv-

tuition of the United States, he ought to vote

Cobb, the eloquent Allen, and the unfal'orlng
Toucey. we find Toombs, and Stephens, and
BENJAMIN, and Jones, and Choatc, and others
who, in the zenith of Clay's and We bsters
trcngth and popularity, were regarded as the
brightest jewels of the old-llnc wing party.
And the Van Burens-sirc and so'h--thelr
names must not be forgotten, althor ,s;h there
may be spots and blcmishes in their political
record. True to patriotic instincts, and with
heart yearning for the success Of the old par
ty which has for more than half n century re-
sisted. and successfully resisted, the schemes,
plots, and Vaccinations of the enemies of the
republic, they are now giving their names,
their influence, and their best cxcrtions to
avert the common danger. II all that is emf
ncnt in craftsmanship, pure and ardent IN
patriotism, and sclf.sacricir'g in spirit, can
beat back the now gathering tide of fanatcism
then, indeed, is the Union safe beyond all per
adventure.

Col. Ponds Charge.

In his letter to the Baton Rouge Gazette
dated the 9Th inst, COL Pond makes the fol-
lowing unjustifable and outrageous charge
against the democracy. Let every democrat
and southern man who supports Mr.. Buchanan
read and remember it through all future time
of his life.
an conclusion, regard any Southern man,
or any Southern organ, who connlves at, or
contributes directly or indirectly to the mau-
tcnance Of the Kansas act rs interpreted ny
the Northern Democracy and as endorsed by
Mr.. Buchanan, as an enemy to his own inter-
csts, and as a traitor to the rights and honor
of the South"
This is delcctable language indeed to be
used by one who belongs to secret order that
is occupying the same grounds Of opposition
to the national democracy that is occupied and
commended for by the Black Republic rs, and
who are fusing and cooperating with that
odious party to achieve common triumph
over "the rights and honor of the South"
/ Butwe will forbear further comment Wcarc
not disposed to irritate the insane or disturb
the dead, as we consider that Col. Pond has
more completely committed self destruction
than any man we have ever known of, not even
excepting the Rev. Col. Stewart.
The Advocate, however, is not disposed so
to regard Col Ponds visionary eccentricities.
1t makes the following comments upon his in,
sane declaration about traitors &c.
"There is not Democrat, we venture to
assert, South of Masons and Dixon's line who
does not fully endorse the Interpretation given
the Kansas act by the Cincinnati Convention
f that Interpretation is concurred in by Mr.
, Buchanan; he accepts and adopts it as the
true meaning of the act; so interpreting it, h'
has received the cordial approval Of the entire
Southern Democracy, in whose name and il
whose behalf we hurl back the calnmnons as
persion of this ranting haranguer, this immac

s iatory language, but our nature will not meek

tanned in this letter; insinuations against tn

bloodshed, which has been enacted at New
Orleans elections, since the advent OF Know
Nothingism, is purely of an abolition character.
We have but little doubt ourselves OF this fact
and we have heard many Of our most lntelll-
gent citizens express the same opinion. This
same abolition spirit has manifested itself also
in Louisville in Baltimore, in Richmond, and
it was that which created and actuatcd the
"Tigiiance Committcc' of ST. Francisco.
| As the writer Justly says, it is the same
that has created all the difficulties in Kansas,
and charged on the southern cmigrants by
southern men. The same that has created an
anti-sonthern faction in the south. The same
that has caused southern men to rejoice over
northern abolition vic tories. The same that
approves and sanctions the union of Fillmorc's
and Frcmonts friends in q common cause
The same that is giving aid and encourage
ment to Frcmont's election throughout TIT

Design and effect of Know Nothingism

"Thc Northern Know Nothings have caught
from their Abolition allies the aggressive spirit
of fanaticism, and hope to infect their South
ern brethren with it and conquer by it. The
same fanatcal, aggressive spirit, sent from
Massachusetts to Kansas, to drive prO-savery
settlers ont of that Territory with Sharpes RI
hes, has found its way into several localities in
the South, seized upon some of the more intol-
Grant and bigottcd portion of the know-Noth-
ings--inciting them to commit treason Oh Re-
publican institutions, by driving Democratic
voters, as much entitled to vote as themselves,
from the polls. Already has that aggressive
spirit defed with innocent blood the sacred
palladium of liberty-the ballot-hoX--in Lou
isyille. New Orleans and Baltimore, greatly To
the shame and modification Of all good men OF
every party in the South, whether Democratic
Wing or Know Nothing, but rejoiced over by
the Black Republicans and their British allies
not because Know Nothing victories have
been won in those unfortunate cities, but be
cause the means used to win them, the violence
and the bloodshed, are well calculated to bring
shame and disgrace upon the whole Southern
people and their institutions.
The Black Republican and British pensone'

mind with all manner of incentives, open AM

Will They Answer ?

The ". o. Courier puts the following per-
tnent queries to the Bee Of that city They
are alike pertinent to all X. y. orators and
presses.
| III Mr.. Fillmore has ever rccantcd the
opinions he expressed in the "mus'y, worm
eaten Erie letter." or expressed regret at his
votes on all slavery issues during bis service in
Congress, why don't the Bee publish the evil
dcncc, and thereby put to shame the assertions
of the n. Y. Express, the Brookscs, Hiram
kctctum, and the whole host Of presses ana
orators who support him in the Free states and
who proclaim that he still abdcs by those
opinions and votes? The Bee says that its
files contain the proof let it so forth then to
the world, even though it may take away all
the ground upon which the free state Fillmor-
ties have placed him.
= The testimony of Gen W. r. Miles, II
Southern man, who heard Maj. Brccknrid"'s
Tippccanoc speech, is, that on that occasion he
did not utter II Jingle word with regard to the
extension of slavery, which JOHN Cnlhonn
might not have spoken with applause in South
Carolina. The Nov York Express, Tie Brooks
brothers and Hiram kctehum, ali soIcmnly
assert that Mr. Fillmore is and ever has been
opposed to the extension Of slavery or the adj
mission Of more slave states into the Union
Does the Bee prefer that position TO one which
in strict accordance with the doctrine Of thc
rights of the states denies TO Congress the
power TO interfere in the settlement Of the
question Of slavery, and leaves it to the people
themselves, when they are forming their con
Sttution?
: 3. TIE Bee avoids any auSion to Mr.. Fill
moIe's declaration at Rochester, in condcmna-
ton Of the repeal Of the Missouri Restriction,
and the enactment of the Kansas-N cbraskH
, bill. We now again ask it, and earnestly beg
n n categorical answer; DO you approve Of the
language and conduct of Mr. Fillmore on that
occasion? Do you think the repeal of the
: Missouri Compromise ,ras violation of good
c faih, and that the aS.Ncbraska bill raS
a Pandora's box Of political evils, as Mr.. Fill
more then asserted!
A. Will the Bee he good enough to show the
u people of this state what principle Of "squattcr
Sovereignty" is to be found in the Kansas-Ne-
y braska bill, which is not also present in the
II provisions of the Compromise acts of 1850
y with regard to the Territories Of Utah and
{ New Mexico, and the bill for the organization
Y OF Washington Territory all Of which were
aPprored by Mr.. Fillmore as President?

FALL ELECTIONS, THE SUMMING UP.

The Fall elections are now all over and the qnes-
ton as to our next President is settled beyond the
possibility Of doubt. II now remains for us to eX-
crt ourselves to carry out this decision by the largest
possible maoritcs in order to put fnal quiets to
the factious combinations and their Vaccinations to
destroy The Union and the Constitution of this fair
and glorious republic both in the North and in the
South.
1t is hardly necessary to refer TO the elections in
the South. They indicate a solid and united front
of all the Southern States for Mr.. Buchanan.
Maryland the only questionable State heretofore,
in her late election for Mayor of Baltimore by so
small majority, satisfies Us that she has also rent
assunder her Know Nothing shackes and wheeled
into line, completing the solid front of the South.
In the free States, the battle has been fought glo-
riously and maniully by the national and constitu-
tional Of the Democracy and old line Wings. In
Connecticut. the victory over the Black Republicans
and Fillmore Know Nothngs united, is of decisive
indication for Mr.. Buchanan in November next. In
Pennsylvania and Indiana. where the shameful union
of Fremont and Fillmore men was complete and
they jointly exerted all their powers of falschoods
frauds and money to defeat the Democracy, single
handed, we have overcome all opposition, most tr-
umphantly and most gorously. These States will
secure the election OF James Buchanan to the next
Presidency. But in addition to these we will certain
ly get the States Of Illinois, New Jersey, California
and Mchigan--in all probability, New York. New
Hampshire, Wisconsin, Maine, and we should not
be surprised If Ohio should wheel into line by the 4tt
ofNoyember next
Thus stands the state of the contest at this time
Fillmore will not get an electoral vote in the unioi
and the whole contest rests between Buchanan ant
Fremont. May we not hope that Southern men vii
lay aside their prejudices, think calmly and no Ion
ger blind their eyes to these important truths an
thereby give their aid to Fremont, by obstlnate
pcrsistng in their support of Fillmore.
KANSAS. Late accounts from Kansas II
form us that Gen. Whitfield, the p.oslaver
candidate, has been reelected to Congress b
large majority. Kansas is now beyond que
ton slave territory and will come in as
slave State, and this in spite Of the oppositio
of Black Republicansm and Know Nothing
ism, both North and South, this shows whi
the Democracy are doing to strengthen I'll
South and her institutions.

The Closing Struggle.

In one month from this day, says the Union
of the 4th inst, the people Of the United States
will be called upon to take part in by Tar the
most important election which has ever been
held in the republic BY their nnbought sui
frages they will have to decide between free
dom and fanaticism, patriots and traitors;
whether they desire to preserve and perpetuaic
the republic as it is, with its glorious conicde-
racy of free, eqnal and sovereign States, and
its model constitution, the matchless working
of which have secured to MS entire civil and
religious freedom, and larger shere of nation
al happiness, prosperity, and greatness than
was ever before youchsafcd to any people.
The issue before the people is not as to choice
of mcn-whcther Mr. Buchanan or Mr.. FIRE.
mont is to be elected President Of the United
States; but whether the only true, national,
conservative party-whose history is a history
Of faithful, fearless, and unremitting struggles
in defence of the Union, the constitution, the
equal rights of the States and the sovereign
power of the peoplc--is to be defeated, and
the country left to the tender mercles OF tanat-
les, dcmagogucs, and traitors. The time for
argument and appeal has passed by and it is
gratifying to know that it matters not how the
election may result, the action OF the people
cannot be ignorant or unadviscd action IL
the present canvass the measures and prlnci
pies of the democratic party have been discuss
ed to an extent heretofore unknown IN this
country.-not before thin audiences in obscure
places, but throughout the length and breaatl
of the land, and before asscmblages of TIT
people that were numbered by tens of thou
sands The democratic press has discharged
its whole duty. Documents and papers b,
hundreds of thousands have been scattere,
, broadcast over the land, until the truths ha
f finally found its way alike into the dwelling
c of the rich and the poor-the abode of wealt
and ease, the works op the farm house, AM
