people against the continuance of the infamous
and disorganizing policy, foreign and domestic,
of this Pierce administration. We doubt not that
upon fair and square issue between the great
constitutional and law and order Fremont move
ment, and the disunion, disorganizing and de-
bauched democracy, North and South, that Mr..
Buchanan would be left in minority in Novem-
Der of at least five hundred thousand votes
Take the opposition vote cast in the late elec-
tions in Iowa, Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana, and we dare say it will show
an opposition majority exceeding one hundred
thousand. The whole of this opposition vote, is,
however, but feeble expression of tie universal
eaction in the public mind against the contin-
uance of this wretched and condemned democratic
dynasty of Pierce jeff Davis, Atchson, String
elbow, Forney, and Bully Brooks. The popular
ointment in favor Of sweeping and wholesome
revolution has been crippled and weakened BY
tralicing hucksters and scheming politicians;
and yet, in six States, in mere preliminary Skin
mishes, we have an aggregate majority against
Pierce, Buchanan and the spoils democracy, of a.
least one hundred thousand votes.
The only representative of the popular sent-
ment thus expressed in these six States, is Colonel
Fremont; and the principles of which he is the
standard bearer, form the only basis Of pract
cal and efficient party for the overwhelming de-
feat of Mr.. Buchanan. Never was the prospect
more encouraging for clean Fremont electoral
ticket in every State in the Union, North and
South. 1t is due to those independent, thinking
men of the South, thousands of them, slavehold-
ers and non-slaveholders, who have been denied
the liberty of speech, the liberty of the press
and the liberty OF public discussion by the rufian
disunion democracy-it is, we say, due to the
conservative Fremont Southern men that they
should be provided at least the means of casting
a vote against this party despotism under which
they have fallen. We understand, too, that what
has been done in Maryland, Kentucky and Vir
GINA, to wit: the appointment Of Fremont
electoral ticket, will be followed up in other
Southern States as fast possible so that cleo
ton day, even in the far South, we may have
hitherto suppressed popular sentiment coming out
for Fremont to an extent which will astonish, a.
Mr. Pickwick would say, the dogs who hold the
marrow bones and the dog in the manger
There is, we repeat, tremendous majority in
the country against the spoils and disunion demo
cracy-a majority not only in the North, but in
the South, upon fair trial, between the Pierce
and jeff Davis policy, of which Mr.. Buchanan is
the anointed heir, and the policy of the great
Fremont movement. 1t is enough 10 know, how
ever, that in the free North, where the constitu
ton is still the supreme law, that there is solid
majority, ascertained by ,helate elections, sufi-
cient to do the work OF thorough going consti-
tutional triumph in the election of Fremont. The
materials exist, and there is plenty Of time yet
for the work. Let the Fremont party put up
a clean electoral Fremont ticket in every North.
ern State, and fight the battle again the con-
tinuance of this infamous Pierce administration:
against the debauched party representing it;
against the Cincinnati platform and the Gin
cinnati candidate, under which Kansas is to be
made slave State at the point Of the bayouet,
End Cuba another slave State by highway rob-
berry; aganst all the plots and plans which have
ignalized this administration for fleeing the
public treasury and the public lands; and against
this last and meanest expedient Of eytortng
money by threats from the poor onic eholders
for purposes OF bribery and corruption in the
elections. Let the Fremont party do this, aud
fight the battle upon these issues unmixed with the
petty trihes Of the hour, and the day Is their own
Too much time has been frittered away, and
too much attention has been paid by the Fremont
journals to the contemplate little side issues Of
Fremont's religion, Fremonts crosses and prayer
books, Fremont's parentage, aud the education
of Willard Fillmores daughter at a Catholic con-
vent. These things are but the petty side issues
with which q Toombs' lawyer operates to divert
The argument from the real merits Of the case
before the court. This democratic dynasty at
Washington is on trial before the people. Shall
Il be approved and continued under Nc. Buchanan
as the anonted successor Of Mr. Pierce; or shall
it be turned out Of power and a new aud con-
stitutional administration put in its place That
is the exact issue before the public; and it rests
between Fremont and Buchanan.
Upon this issue we have no doubt that there
is at this moment majority, North and South.
Of the American people, Of at least five hun
drcd thousand against the continuance OF this
Pierce administration. Grant that the constitu-
ton IL dead letter in the Souih-that a system
Of democratic terrorism there established has
suppressed free speech, and staed the freedom
Of the press; grant that under this irresponsible
party despotism there is but little hope Of doing
anything effective against this disunion Buchanan
democracy Of the South. there are yet sufficient
materials in the North for the overwhelming de-
feat Of Buchanan. with clean Fremont ticket, and
an unmixed Fremont fight in every State against
the spoils democracy. What has been done in the
democratic States Of Iowa and Maine can be a.
well done in New jersey and Pennsylvania
