The Presidency.

fore the people. For the first time in several
years there are three prominent candidates for
this Office, each one supported by parties Of
success. The Administration party, with
Pierce, Douglas & Co., have nominated James
Buchanan, trusting that the storm which their
Kansas and Nebraska bill has raised, will ride
them into power. The adherents of Old Line
ism look with eager eyes to the spoils to be
dispensed year hence, should they be sue
cessful, and every nerve is being strained to
carry their cause through in triumph. The
chances Of James Buchanan'S success are to
say the least. doubtful. His avowed hostility
to Henry Clay will injure him in the ranks OF
the did Line Wings, who revere the memory
of the dead sage Of Ashland, and hate his ira
ducers and slanderers. His ''Ten Cent" prin-
ciples, however palatable to the capitalist, will
not win among the working classes, who be-
lieve that "the laborcr is worthy of his hire"
His old Federal principles cannot fail to be
Democrats and his former position upon the
slavery question, and his present one will most
assuredly take from him many friends in the
North ard South. Should he receive every
Southern State, with Pennsylvania, he will
want TIVE votes to elect him.
John G. Fremont is the free-soil candidate !;
nominated by Northern men, supported by
Northern newspapers expecting only the
v0fo 1f
his recent speech at Albany, stated, that the
Union could not be preserved if the North
should place in Office a man pledged to their
interests dependent upon the North for pat
ronage and support How true this may be
we do not know. We are in stormy times
The North and the South are arrayed against
each other, and it is vain to cry out, "The IN
ion--it shall be preserved" unless men put
their shoulders to the wheel with the deter
mination to vote for National men and Nation
al principles. For this crisis we have man
pledged to the WHOLE UNION, and nothing
else" The great and peaceful doctrine of the
paralleled tranquility of the Union from 1920
to 1854, proves that it is eminently National.
The Administration of Willard Fillmore was
founded on this policy, and it was the most
peaceful that we have had for many years.
That Administration needs no eulogy from US,
and Mr.. Fillmore's speeches Of the past few
weeks prove that he occupies the same ground
now as then, and if elected, will give US an
other four years Of peace and plenty. At
New York he said
Neither favoring the North in desire for
an administration against the South, nor the
South in desire against the North and Ell
Their party expecting such favoritism need not
offer its services to me, for / know only my
country, my whole country, and nothing but
my country.
We appeal to Union loving men every
where, whether these are sentiments worthy
of the man or not. We ask every voter to
look carefully at the present state of affairs,
and weigh well the consequences of this com
ing election. FILLMORE, UNION AND CoMPRo-
MISE. This is the American ticket, and if we
read the signs of the times Alright if Americans
will come up to the rescue, then in November
next, the greet popular voice will bear to Mil
lard Fillmore the well earned plaudit:
+" Vel done, good and faithful servant; thou
hast been tried and found true THOU SHALT BE
TRIED AGAIN y
