The CONSERVATIVE CAsDIDATE.-Eyery
day furnishes fresh evidence that Col. Ere.
mont is the only conservative PRESIDE ntial
candidate before the country. Alter MS
Albany speech, in which Mr.. Fillmore ad-
mtted the right of the South to secede,
should Northern candidate be elected, we
believe that nobody will pretend to call that
gentleman Union-savior. The principal
Object of the South in supporting Mr.. Bu-
chanan is to raise the price of negroes--an
idea started by Gov. Wise and ably sustain
ed BY the Richmond Enquirer. This CON-
mercial event will be accomplished by the
admission of Kansas as a slave State, BY
the annexation of part of Mexico, and by
the seizure of Cuba, accord ding to the Gin
cinnati platform. Meanwhile the Garrison
Abolitonis,s IRE supporting the election OF
Buchanan and denouncing that OF Fremont,
because the choice Of the first would prot.
ably break up the Union, consummatlon
which they devoutly wish for. With Ere
mont for President, peace will undoubtedly
be restore d, we shall be safe from misera-
BILE collisions with foreign powers, and the
apitatipp questions of the day will be i'd
iusted. Let every citizen labor to bring
about n result SO desirable. Boston Atlas.
