The Combination of the Abolition Know No
things and Black Republicans against the De-
mocracy.
1t is notorious that the abolition Know Nothings
and the black Republicans are con.bined-not so
much against Mr.. Fillmore, for they do not regard
him as formidable against the National Demo-
cratic party, headed by Buchanan and Breckin-
ridge. All their speeches and resolutions in their
Conventions prove this. We could fill this sheet
with speeches of this Sort all breathing the bitter
est hatred towards the "pro-slayery Democratic
party" they call it, and declaring that there is
hope for abolition but in the defeat of Buchanan.
These two parties embracing nearly all the abol-
tionists in the free States and majority of the Know
Nothings, have united on Fremont, he having re-
ceived the nomination at the hands of both, and
having accepted it The contest of 1856 is some
what similar to that of 1886. Then, as now, the
the opposition had two candidates-Gen. Harrison
in the North, and Judge White in the South. Then,
as now, the contest was really between the Demo-
cratic candidate and the Northern candidate, Gen.
Harrison, who received twice as many Electoral
votes as Judge White did. The contest Is no,o BE-
tsceen Mr.. Buchanan and Co.. Fremont; and every
Southern vote thrown for Mr.. Fillmore will weaken
Mr. Buchanan, and strengthen Col. Fremont, just as
in 1886, the votes cast for Judge White in the South
weakened Mr.. Van Buren,, the Democratic candi-
date. Let the South then, unite and let her do
on that candidate, who, occupying sound Constitu-
tonal ground stands the best chance to be elected.
