FILLMORE ELECTORAL TICKET
southern pemocratic Traitors.


The stand taken by many leading Southern
Democrats in favor Of Disunion is really an
alarming sign of the times. Before this peri
cd, occasionally some man gave breath to that
fearful whisper but became scorched and
withered by the indignant contempt of the
patriotic hearts by whom he was surrounded.
But now there are hosts of Southern Demo
Gratis, and a number Of prominent Democratic
papers, actually advocating Disunion-some
in the event of Fremont's election, and others
no matter what the result Of the election. We
find no rebukes Of this treason in the North
ern Democratic papers. They can only see
treason in a refusal of citizens Of Kansas to
yield obedience to an infamous code of laws,
more despotic than any unfolding European
rionarchies, and made for them by citizens of
Missouri. These loud Disunion cries, daily
growing more formidable, and only utter
ed by Democratic threats, if not looked upon
among Northern Democratic leaders with ac-
tual approval, have as yet to receive their first
rebuke from that source. While Fillmore
papers and Republican papers, have indignant
ly denounced those speakers and sheets which
have given voice to threats of Dsunion, point
us to single Democratic speaker or paper
which has uttered a word in condemnation Of
the course of their Southern allies. Its true
they cry out for Union, even while their efforts
are tending to dissolution of the Union, but
not word of rebuke have they for those all
yocating Disunion in broad terms. How can
true patriots vote with such party as this !?
How dare they support Buchanan, when a
host of his Southern organs are demanding,
Disunion, and the South controls the Demo
cratic party
Hon. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, one of
Committee appointed to inform Buchanan of
his nomination. and the authorized organ Of
the Committee in its informal communications
with the public, in recent speech upon the
probable and desirable results of Fremont's
election, if that event should occur, used the
following language;
If, indeed, it has come to this, that the I'm
ion is to be used for these accursed purposes,
then. sir by the God of my fathers, AM
AGAINST THE UNION, AND, so HELP

REMNANT OF MY LIFE 10 IFS DISSO-

Say what you will, write what you will,

SOUTH WILL WAGE ETERNAL WAR
FARE UPON SUCd A UNION. WE WILL
INVOKE WITH ONE VOICE THE VEN
GEANGE OF HEAVEN UPON SUCu A
UNION-WE WILL PRAY INCREASING

AND OPPRESSION.
We could give columns Of just such senti
ments as these from Southern Democrats
Thank Heaven the North is so true to the
Union, that no Northern Democrat dare give
utterance to such treason. But spreading
as this sentiment is in that party South, and
influenced and controlled as the Democratic
party has Of late days been by the Southern
Democracy, who can say that in short time
such treason may not be as common North as
it. is South? There is one certain way to
crush it everywhere-and that is to crush
those now breathing it in American ears, by
defeating Buchanan. Elect Willard Fillmore,
and these Disunionists will no more dare prop
ogate their treason than when Andrew Jack
son was in the Presidential chair. But elect
Buchanan, and the Disunion and Fillibuster
ing feeling will ride rampant.
