mont party presenting too formidable appear
ance TO justify an attack"
The Richmond Enquirer publishes the above
from the New York Herald Of Saturday last,
and argues earnestly that the Herald is impair
tial, as between Fillmore and Buchanan, and
therefore the contest is really between Blu
chanan and Fremont Was there ever such
stupidity manifested before, by any press
claiming the possession of common sense?
The game of the Herald, and of all other
Republican presses has always been, to repre-
sent Mr.. Fillmore, as being soeak, especially at
the North, IN the hope to soeaken ham ecery-
1ohere, so that Fremont could carry the 0hOIe
North, and beat Buchanan. man of ordi-
nary sense would understand this game, and
would be warned by the representations of that
mendacious, cunning and jesuitical press, to
avoid the trap it has set to catch such gulls as
the Enquirer. There is not one soord Of truth
in the whole extract which the Enquirer has
copied from the New York Herald-the article
was published by the Herald to entrap the
South.
IL by such falsehoods, the Herald could make
the country believe, that the contest lies be-
tween Buchanan and Fremont and if by these
means the American party could be so weak
ened, North and South, as to cast the smallest
vote of the three parties, the result is as plain
and manifest as any arjthmctical demonstra-
ton could make TIT would be, that Fremont
would be elected, for the Enquirer and its al
lies may say what they will, and act as they
please, it is perfectly clear, that Buchanan
cannot carry ecen Pennsylvania. His saga
| cious friends know and admit it.
Does any man at the North erpsct--or does
| any sensible man contend-that Buchanan can
| carry single Northern State, unless it be
| Pennsylvania We must be frank and plain
| in this matter-therc is too much at stake, to
| render silence excusable-we say it, and we
regret to say it, Mr.. Buchanan will not carry
one Northern State, and If the misrepresenta-
tons of such presses as the Herald are believed
and endorsed by the anti-American presses at
the South and If the people adopt the errors
such presses inculcate, and cast their votes
under the influence Of such errors they will
inevitably introduce the reign of sectionalism.
We have stated that "we regret to say it, y
that Mr.. Buchanan win not carry one North
ern State,-w mean by this only to say, that,
much as we should deprecate has election, we
should deprecate far more the election of q
purely sectional candidate, n candidate brought
forward under the influence ofSeward, Greeley,
and Bishop Hughes, and that, if there be any
State, North or South, which Mr.. Fillmore can
not carry, we should not desire that its vote
should be cast for John C. Fremont. But VIC
repeat, that the contest at the North rs not be-
| tween Buchanan and Fremont but between
Fillmore and Fremont, whilst at the South it
lies between Fillmore and Buchanan,-and we
add, that those presses at the North Qike the
New York HeralD publish what they knoao to
be false, and what they intend to be decepti-
Gus, when they assert the contrary.
If the Richmond Enquirer and its allies
choose to endorse the obvious untruths Of the
paid advocates of John G. Fremont, and if they
should succeed in creating such belief through
out the country as shall result in the election
of the Republican candidate, they will be re-
sponsibe for the result and they will be held
responsible by deceived and deluded people.
If such presses had the true interests Of the
country at heart they would advocate the
prompt withdrawal Of Buchanan, and rally
of all the conservative elements upon the
American nominations.
