~ The Gazette claims that the loco-foco
party are better friends Of the black man than
the Republicans, because the extension of sla-
very INTO the Territories will benefit the negro
This is decidedly candid, and may or may not
be true. We shall not stop to discuss it, as we
consider il of no consequence. The Republican
party never professed to be negro sympathizers.
That party was organized for the white man.,
not the black-for the benefit of free labor and
not for slave labor-for the benefit of the poor
slaboring man, and not the feudal lord OF, the,
Cotton plantation. The two systems Of labor
are antagonastic. The poor man who earns his
bread, as decreed, in the sweat Of his brow,
looks upon the accident Of poverty as only D
misfortune and not degradation, and refus 8 to
labor beside bondsman rs he would to be
yoked with an OK or y mule. When he gathers
up his effects with his wife and little ones
and seeks new home, he goes where it is no
disgrace to labor-into the free States and free
Territories. It is for this class of men that we
would reserve all the Territories. It is for
white men that We would preserve Kansas, leav-
ing the slave breeder, who enjoys their labor, to
look after his own chattels.

DIsUMoN.-If there is anything that can make
a man appear supremely ridiculous in our eye it
is the cry of Disunion. A few years ago this
succeeded pretty well, and gained many adyan-
tages for those who uttered it, and who are by
all means the least likely to carry it into effect
Occasionally we hear the same cry, and the same
silly declaration now, that if thus and such
things are consummated the Union cannot stand

SPEECH OF Mr.. DAYTON ANDMR. EREELINGHuYsES.
The Republican Club. of Newark, N. j., learn
ing that Hon. w. L. Dayton, candidate for the
Vice Presidency, wasin town, determined to
celebrate the occasion of the visit by seren-
ade and procession on Friday evening last. Ac-
cordingly, about 10 o'clock, they improvised an
imposing demonstration of the f-;ends of the
cause and with banners, torches and music,
marched to the residence of Mr.. Freelinghuy-
sen, on Park street, where Mr.. Dayton was q
guest.
Mr.. Dayton, in acknowledging the compi-
ment said:
Friends and Fellow citizens: appear before

view to making political speech. am here,

nected merely with the private charities of your

the course of this canvass. can do little else
than to return to you my sincere thanks for the
civility you have paid me by making this call.
Perhaps, however, in this connection may be
pardoned for a single word, not political, but
personal to myself Applause It has been
suggested, my friends, that the Republican par
ty Of this country occupies an extreme or radi-
cal platform on the question of slavery. can
only say for myself, my friends, what you all
know, that my whole lite, past and present, has
been conservative, and my fnture, if live,
shall be SO. [Applanse.] l can only add this,
too, my friends, that if did not believe in my
heart that the administration of Col. Free

into power, would be as conservative and truly

no purpose, my friends, to detain you by a po-
litlcal speech, as before remarked. appear
before you simply in response to your call, and
with my hearty thanks bid you good night
Loud applause.
Mr.. Freelinghuysen, in compliance with vehe.
ment calls, came forward and said:
Fellow citizen: l am most happy that you
have had the pleasure this evening, of listening
to the voice and beholding the face of the dis.
tinguished son Of New Jersey, to whom you have
come to pay your respects Loud applause.

SO Much FOR F1LLxoREIsx.-The greatest
smart inflicted on the Republicans, in the result
OF the late election in Pennsylvania, is the al.
lance formed with the Fillmore party, it being
now ascertained beyond doubt, that had no
such alliance been formed, their condition would
be better to-day, than it now is. r| 8
In this view of the case, the Republicans are
preparing to correct their error, and will hence
forth place such confidence in "Unions" as they
have by dear experience found they deserve.
The Chicago Tribune says that careful anal
ysis of the vote Of Eastern Pennsylvania proves
that more than $4,000 Fillmore Know Nothings
voted the straight Buchanan ticket Had the
Fillmore men Of Pennsylvania voted the "Union"
ticket, in good faith, it would have been eleclcd
by more than fifty thousand. Aud had they
voted a separate ticket of their own, it would
have succeeded by more than Is, 900.
We would as soon entrust hungry dog with
our dinner, asto expecs:any aid from party
whose afinities are wholly with the Buchaniers
and who are ready to make any sacrifices Of
their own faith to elect Buchanan to the Presi-
dency. We look upon them as being as hostile
to every principle of freedom, as the blindest
supporter Of the spurious democracy, or the
most jealous Of the southern chivalry.

TIE BURLIsGror l. CHICAGO TELEGRAPH LINE.
Some few days since, owing to provoking de-
lays in the receipt of dispatches, we spoke in se
we're terms of the management Of our telegraph
line. This was more owing to the failure, on
the part Of the then operator, to make proper
explanations than anything else. We have since
received letters from Mr.. SWEET, Superintendent,
and from others, which satisfy US that every
exertion was made to repair the line and keep
it in working order. But number ofsevere
storms have occurred during the present month,
which have broken down their poles and rem.
dered it impossible to keep up the line. We are
satisfied Mr.. Sweet will make every effort to
keep the line in working condition, and that We
shall not suffer from unnecessary delays.

The WAY THEY Do Ir.-They have plain,
Straightforward way of doing business in Ark
ansas that is perfectly refreshing. A minister
out there, few weeks ago, undertook to come
down on slavery. The next day one of the dea-
cons dropped him line, saying that "peo pie in
abused, and not slavery; and if he persisted in
violating their taste any further, all he had to
says was that geese still grew feathers and North
Carolina tar"
Another evidence that q Northern man can
not express his views in regard to slavery, in or
out of the pulpit, which is intimated generally
in terms more direct, if not more expressive,
than the above.

Since the people haze .'heard from Penn

On the other hand the Republicans have
gained largely on the popular congressional

and confident of success. Besides this, they
have large reserve force in the Quakers, that
did not vote at the late election, but will, to
man, at the next; and what is certain, will give
by strong vote the state to Fremont,-mind
that, for we have now "heard from Pennsyl-
