Buchanan dead - dead dead in
the North.

We insert below the conclusion of a
very able article from the Washington Or
gan, taking a glance at the field, since the
elections in North Carolina, Kentucky
Missouri and Arkansas
If any Southern man wishes to see the power of
the 6libu.teiing Democracy in the Northwest, let

Pierce in 1852, nor, in this month Of August 1885,
and 10 view OF the Cincinnati platform and its nomi
nees, casting her vote by foe thousand majority for
the Republicans Buchanan cannot, repeat
carry one single free State, and whyg Because the
South, in demanding Of the native Americans
surrender of their votes to Buchanan, manifest
| fixed purpose to create sectional contest, and
when they thus seek this in the face OF

The friends of Fillmore in the North are national
men-thev are willing TO fight in a contest for ma
tonal principles, buttbey will not enter the lists for
sectional candidate, and they justly regard James
Buchanan equally sectional candidate with J.
G. Fremont. Besides, the pseudo Democratic par~
ty, both in their resolve of last December,
through their- Congressional Caucus, and in their
resolves at Cincinnati violently and bitterly de-
nounced the doctrines Of the American party.
We say, in all frankness, candor and sincerity to
to the Southern Democracy, that, could they per.
suade the Southern Americans to cast their votes
for Buchanan, the effect upon the North of such
policy at the South, would inevitably be, to drive
every friend of conservatism from the polls, and
leave the issue to be decided between Northern and
Southern sectionalism.
II would be in vain that we should deplore such
contest, and lament its result, which result could
be nothing less than the election of Fremont, and
such scenes of bitter strife and warfare as this
country has not yet witnessed. Can any man of
common information doubt, that, if this Presiden-
tia contest could be narrowed down, by the folly
and perveTseness of the South, to Buchanan and
Fremont the result would be the election of Free
mont! Look at IONA Read what Howell Cobb
said of the probable election OF two Republican
members of Congress from Democratic Illinois to
supply present vacancies !
Look at the thirty odl Free-SoH Democratic pres
ses of New York, that have gone to Fremont!
Look at the masses of foreigners throughout the
North and West that have gone over to him! Look
at the election of Blair, Free-soil Buffalo plats

Gratis Of ST. Louis Missouri in place of the gallant

stampede of Free-sou Democrats and foreign Demo

The Democratic party of the North is dead.-dedd
DEAD!
This pseudo Democratic party exists ONLY at the
South and if it chooses to seek sectional contest
with the cohorts of AbUlitionism, Foreignism, and
Romanism at the North, against the protestatons
and remonstrances OF the American party in all
sections Of the country, it will henceforward cease
to have an existence. II will be crushed.
The American party of the North, the Fillmore
and Donelson men of that section, stand noW as

loving party. 1t can, if sustained by the Ameri1
cans South, defeat the Vaccinations OF the disun-
onists, But if in its folly or its madness, the South
shall create purely sectional issue with the Re-
publicans, by uniting upon Buchanan, denouncing,
ignoring, and despIsng the conservative elements
OF the American party, we, at least, shall not be
responsible for the consequences.
We do not anticipate such state of things not
outstanding the powerful efforts of the "squatter
sovereignty" presses, and the like efforts of the
Pearces, Pratts, Johnsons Dixons, and a few other
disappointed ''od line Wings" who now sleep uns
der the same blanket with the Forneys, Bentons,
Cdmbrelengs and Van Burens We hope, and
we believe that before November shall arrive, the
WeGkness OF the Cincinnati platform and nominations
will become so apparent to the whole conservative
portion OF the people, throughout the length and
bresdth OF the land that the National American
nominees will receive the undivided support of all
the friends OF the Constitution aud of the American
Union.
