sectional contest and a sectional victory A
victory in whose fayor2 viii one hundred
and twenty votes beat one hundred and seven
ty-sixi Oh, but, (ssys the Union) Buchanan
would carry Pennsylvania, California, Indiana
and Illinois WAatf in a sectional contest
prohered by the sham Republicans, and 40
ceptSd by the sham Democrats1 The man
who would trifie with the South, by such an
assertion, is only fit for lunatic asylum or
a penitentiaryl
So obvious is il, that the election of Fre-
mont would be the result of a sectional con-
test that were it now seriously proposed by
the American party to withdraw Mr.. Fillmore,
this sham Democracy would 60 down upon
their knees and beg him, aye, beseech him to
| remain in the fieldl What then, is their
hope, Why, they hope only as desperate
men can hope, that they may humbug the
South into the idea, that Fillmore is unsafe
for the South, and therefore Buchanan may by
reason of such SANDERS carry the whole South,
and that in a triangular fight in the free
States, he may get plurality in two or three of
these States, and thus secure his electioni Vain
delusion Let the North once be made to be-
lieve that Fillmore, conservative, a national
man, an American" tried man, patriot,
pilI be abandoned by the South-let them be-
iepe this, and no man at the North could
Northern fanaticism and Southern institutions.
POLITICAL SLArDERERs.-In 1874, when Mr.
Clay was running for the Presidency, Buchanan
and Bigler were both on the stump against him in
Pennsylvania. Bigler repeated again and again the
stale and refuted slander which Buchanan had
started against Mr.. Clay, and Mr.. Buchanan heard
it, aud soas silent. They both stood under ban
ner with a bloody hand painted upon it, which
bore the inscription, Henry Clay, the murderer
of the lamented Ciley," and under that lying flag,
they 10th declared that James K. Polk acas a
better tariff man than Henry Clay" The Wings
of the interior of Pennsylvania will remember
these incidents when such honorable men testify
to the patriotism and virtue of the sage of Ash
Philadelphia Times
Messrs Pratt, Pearce, Toombs, Stephens,
Dixon, Choate, and the residue of those few
disappointed "old-line Whigs," who loved and
honored the patriotic Clay, ,ohilst liOing, and
noD turn their faces towards the man who ma
ligned him, must feel exceedingly gratifed to
read such facts as are stated by the Philadel-
phia Times, in the above paragraph These
loving friends Of the Sage of Ashland approve
(do they?) the course of Bigler and Buchanan
who addressed the people of Pennsylvania,
whilst standing under such banners as these,
to wit:
"HESRY CLAY THE MURDERER OF THE La
MENTED CILLEY." .a .'s
"JAMEs X. Polk WAS BETTER Tariff NAN
THAN HENRY CLAYw
But we are informed that Mr.. James B.
Clay, the son of the great orator and patriot,
is now in favor of Buchanan Well, there is
generally one scabby sheep in every flock, and
Mr. James B. Clay has right if he chooses,
to make merchandise Of has portion of his fa-
theirs honor, as we'll as to tear down and dis
pose Of the various parts of his fathers man
sion for filthy lucrel But where stands Thos
II. Clay, the true representative of him, who,
in his day, was the favorite, not of Kentucky
only, but of the "old line Wings" of the ma
ton, by whom his menory is truly and sim
cerely cherished? Thomas Fl. CLAY was a
member of the American National Convention
by which Fillmore and Donelson were nomi-
mated, and he is mo,o the Presiding Officer of
the Kentucky State Council i the american
party!
