Al the North shall witness (Which God forbidD
a stampede of the American party " Of the
South into the ranks of /" Old Squatter Sover-
eign," is it reasonable to suppose that those
Northern conservatives who are noaO confess
edly the only barrier to the success of the Re
publican party, win stand aip, thus unaided,
unsupported, unsustained, in defeuce OF the
rights of the South, to be shot down without
mercy, and without the possibility OF escaper
Why, or aOheretSre, if the South itself, pur-
posely and knowingly shall abandon the sup
port of man whom the Northern and South
ern conservatives have unitedly selected, and
whom Southern men know they can trust, why
or wherefore, Eve say should Northern con-
servatives stand up and sacrifice themselves
in defence Of those aoho thtts abandon their
own cause2 Does the South really desire
sectional contestP We hope Motive believe
not-and yet the leaders Of the Southern De-
mocracy rush mady into sectional fight, In
the face Of certain defeat-they beckon to the
masses Of the South to follow them-falsely,
and yet we would hope thoughtessy pro-
claiming, that the contest lies between the two
sectional candidates, Buchanan and Fremont
Does the South promise itself does it be-
liepe that in such contest, Buchanan would
carry one single non-slareholding StateP Is
it blind to the fact that eUen in Pennsylvania,
the native State of Buchanan, the Republican
candidate has aos0 tnO newspaper presses adj
vocating his cause, where Buchanan has one
Is it blind to the fact, announced by the New
York Journal of Commerce. a strong Buchan-
an paper, that that press has on its exchange
list, for Pennsylvania, ts0enty-one Buchanan
papers and .torty-one Fremont papers, and
that the circulation of those Buchanan papers
is 80, ,90O and the circulation of the Fremont
papers is SS,512, nearly three times the circu-
lation Of the Buchanan papersP
Is the South blind to the fact that the whole
foreign population of Pennsylvania, and of the
entire North and West, is now ranged on the
side of Fremont, and that the whole of this
population has hitherto sustained the sham
Democracy? Is the South blind to the fact
that Ioaoa, hitherto and down to 1856 Demo
cratic State, has in this present month elected
Republican State officers and members of Con-
gress, by a majority of 6oe thousand votes p
Is the South blind to the fact, that even in st.
Louis, Missouri, slave State, the son of Frank
Blair-the friend of Col Benton-a Free-soil
Democrat of the Van Buren, stamp, has been
elected to Congress by the friends and sup
porters of James Buchanan, over that national
conservative American, the Hon. Luther NJ
KENNETH .......
Is tho South blind to the fact, that one
halt Of the former Democratic papers in
the State of New York have gone over to
Fremont, and that the masses Of the Free
soil Democracy of New York, have array
ed themselves on tie side of the Repub-
Gcans ? We say to the South, earnestly and
emphatically, and we say it with deep regret
those ".Free.s Democratic leaders Of the
North" whom the Washington Union inUited
to partahe Of the feast, and whom Forney and
Pierce elevated to places of power and patron
age, have proved false to all their pledges and
have joined the cohorts of Republicanism
We say to the South, that James Buchanan,
in a single-handed contest with Fremont, could
not carry one single free State in this Union,
and that in such contest, this filibustering,
/" squatter sovereignty" sham Democracy,
would be smashed into atoms! We cannot
believe that the South is willing, and we know
that the conservative Americans of the North
and West are not willing, to witness such a
contest, much less to aid in producing it.
Whilst the American party of the North and
South remain united, this direful issue may be
avoided-but let these two wings be separated
and this issue must come-it cannot be avoided.
Will the South yield to the persuasions Of
those advocates of sectionalism, who would
prefer to see this Union rent in twain rather
than see Americanism predominate? Or will
the South turn deaf ear to their syren songs,
and cling to those conservative principles which
will perpetuate the Uniony VIII the South
strengthen the hands of the conservatives of
the North and West and thus enable them to
breast the raging storm of fanaticismp Or
will the South join the Standard of Sectional
ism and add fuel to the fame that would ere
long consume the structure which cur fathers
reared.

the lamented and unrivalled Webster, asked in
