TRUE POSITION OF PARTIES in THIS CARyAss.-
LET THE SOUTHERN KNOW -N0THINGs READ AND
CALMLY CONSIDER.
When the real position Of the southern know-nothpgs
is rightly understood in the present campaign We cannot
how the friends Of the constitution and the Union
their course justify their eagernsss in puF
suing the certain and runous consequences Never before
have such madness and reckless opposition 10 the chief
good Of the country, and especially the vital interests
the South been exhibited in the poil history the
federal government The records Of the last sessions Of
Congress prove beyond contradiction that the South has
received little justice except through the integrity and
tionSty Of the democratic party,
The old whig party North was thoroughly abolionizsd
and the oldne wings of the South dare and do
deny these have repudiated the northern wing TOTO
a natural consequence.
The northern knownohing party has principally sprung
from the old abolltionized whg party The in all the
elections since the existence Of fknow-nothng will prove
it and also show that the national democratic party
overwhelmed by the coalition of free-soI wings know
nothings and aboltoniss-known chiefly black repub
licanswhch foul combination Of men offensive TO the
South the democratic party opposing and fighting in
the North to day 10 presepe The constitution and the Union
The fight in the presidential campaign at the North viii
be triangular-the democratic party being however the
strongest and hence the longest side of the triangle The
other sides will be composed of the black republicans
and few Fillmore men The black republicans in the
will form the longest side of the triangle and the
Fillmore men the third and shortest But the majority
carries the day. and hence the democracy will carry most
Of the northern States.
The body of the know-nothings will vote with the
black repubcansthus making them the second greater
party The Fillmore will have shoaciag whatever
and hence if the democratic party is defeated ii will be the
success of the black republicans
Fillmore will not carry State north of Mason and Dix
ons line-fusion black republicans win carry
For proof examine the vote Of the States for the last FIVE
years.
In the South the know-nothings will stand better
chance than heretofore and not good With the pres
ticket they will not carry Tennessee yet knop
ing the fact and the state Of parties the North they
persist keeping up organization In the North the
of black republican The south
ern members have been driven from their national posi-
ttoa by the late Philadelphia convention But still they
adhere their desperate oathboupd organization and
ignoring if possible the southern interests entirely and
seeking eagerly to wed the abolition ming Of the North and
the southern wing together have turned their nationality
and positive character into myshed and perbdgs plat
form that understands In fact they sick and
disgusted with platforms. But giving them the best
chance they can carry little or nothing South
But they have nothing in the North and then what the
consequences?
If the democracy be defeated in the North in all the
principal States the CANDIDATE
WAYS FROM FILLMORE Black rspnbiieaaism will triumph
her candidate will be the next President
The northern whggery repudiaed Fillmore four years
ago and the modern northern know-nothngism has done
the same thing The late conventon of the latter and that
of the black republicans Pittsburg 'dencaP in
principle So said Brownlow in the reports Of the
Philadelphia proceedings.
Then who the southern knownothngs assisting by
their opposition? Who they ading and comforting n
Who they directly benefdng2 They cannot elect Fill

they CONES NATIONAL DEMOCRACY. Their
efforts hence directly for black repubcaniSm. The
more they can weaken the democracy the they
hac the chances of giving the black republicans the
jority.
Which should the South prefer9
The election OF black republican with the attending in
reference with the rights of the southern States will DIS
solrs the Union The responsibility of black republican
President will fall upon the Fillmore know-nothings and
they cannot shirk this truth.
Why then do southern launch into this reckless
maddensd oppositon1 They know BY the pat they
not elect Fillmore and they know by the past that all their
abors tend elevate northern fsnatcism THE TRUTH
TOO PLAx and defy the facts to disprore position
Figures win only make the demonstration clear and
perfect which shall be produced at the proper time
There bu solution 10 the present Of south
ern know-nohings Is il hatred democracy Ia their
personal eumity carried far that the UNos
rather than the Constitution preserved by
the democratic party Win southern men, calling them
selves patriots thus hazard their dearest best interests
through actous and unPrincped opposition to the only
party that in the latter days has cherished their nstu-
tions against the powerful tide Of northern aggression
and s the only hope Of continued preservation Must
hatred Of the principles Of democracy at the extreme
point wreck the noble ship Of State when trial Of them
has tested their ability avoid the breakers and find
safe haven?
We shall not believe that southern know-uothngs
body win persevere in such suicidal and dangerous poll
cy when the final issue is fairly made-A policy pursued
which will place them beyond all apology and the inter
este Of the South beyond all hopes Of Perpetuity.
