1t is assuredly strange way to electioneer for
Southern support for Mr. Fillmores friends to tell
the people Of the South that if Mr. Fillmore with
draws or be forced to withdraw, his Northern sup
porters will go for Fremont. Now we believe that
this is pretty near the fact. The great majority Of
the Northern supporters of Mr.. Fillmore would 60
for Fremont, but is it with such men, such party,
such supporters, a candidate SO supported that the
people of the South expected to act? Does any
one expect to hear or read Of such arguments being
urged to stimulate the people to vote for Mr.. Buch
anan? Do the Democrats of the North talk
Do they in any emergency threaten to 60 for Fre-
mont? Such thing is never dreamed Of Time
and again has the Democracy of the North been
Frustrated because of its devotion to the rights OF
the States Time and again has it raised The banner
of the Constitution and under that banner fought
and conquered. If that be sectionalism the more
of such sectionalism we have the better.
We notice that the senior editor of the Fayette-
vile Observer writing from New York under date
of the 18th inst, after recOunng the disasters to
the Fillmore forces in recent elections, thinks it
"qute possible that Mr. Fillmore may be with
drawn, or may withdraw himself under these &C
cumulated disasters" Well, we cannot say. Upon
the whole, we trust that be will not withdraw. 1t
is that if his supp" tiers be such that in the
event of his withdrawal they would 60 to FIRE.
mont, the South can only regard them enemies
under whatever guise they may show themselves;
still it may be desirable to create division in the
cnemys ranks, and the running of Mr.. Fillmore
may be beneficial not to bring US friends, but to
distract our enemies But run no run, the Dem
ocratic party is prepared to fight the fight unaided
if necessary, against the enemies of the Constitu
ton and the rights Of the States-agains them uni
ted or against them divided. But the party will not
fight unaided The national men will rally-are
now rallying to its support, and whether Mr. ELL
more stays in the field or withdraws from it, the
Democratic party and its noble allies will meet and
conquer all the isms of the day.
The South is not to be driven from position
by being told, or having it hinted that if she goes
for Buchanan then the national supporters of the
National Fillmore will go for Fremont If they are
true men they will do no such thing If they are
such traitorous aboitionsts to do what is limited
at then the sooner the South knows it the better,
and the sooner the line is drawn the better. Her
rights are not to be held by sufferance or by the
tenure of her giving her support to Mr.. Fillmore,
under the threat that if she don't, his northern
friends-his northern fellow free State will pun
ish her by going into the ranks of her worst enc.
miles, well as the worst enemies of their Country.

FREMONT AND THE KNOW NorH1NGs.-" If Fremont
is elected the country will owe the American party
debt of gratitude; for it is not doing injustice to
other noble advocates Of free soil, to say that the
american organization in the East and West is the
back bone Of the Republican, party"
The above is clipped from the organ, mark of
the Fremont Knoao Nothing party in the State of
New York-Mr. Filmore's home. The language is
plain and the profession made boldly and to the
point.
Will the supporters of Mr.. Fillmore in the South
explain the position of the northern Know Nothing
party and tell us how Mr.. Fillmore is to have
chance when the majority of their party in the
North is with the black Republicans
Alas for that "admiration of the purer DAYS of
our national existence!'
the right stamp, commenting upon such strange
professions says that in all the Eastern States that
Mr.. Fremont is regarded as the champion of an
Americanism purer than that of Fillmore himself
Gov. Gardner, of Mass and his legislator, Hiss find
Fillmore altogether too tame for theirrampant Know
Nothingism. Gov Dutton proclaims him to be the
only genuine American candidate and in demand
ing his nomination by the Connecticut Convention
of Know Nothings, lover whom he presided) pro-
ceeded to denounce our foreign-born citizens whom
he said mast be met and put DOOM and that 'the
enlightened, and ignorant agency"
But this same Know Nothing organ the Register
states one more fact which We cannot omit. We
give it in his precise language

read this wEDLocK affair again and again-say sic
times, for it ought to be remembered.

NORTHERN DEMocRAcY.-In late debate between
Ex-Gov. Ne S. Brown, know nothing, and Mr. Har-
ris democrat at Murfreesborough, Tenn, Ar. Har-
ris furnished the following facts from the record.
We quote from the Nashville Union and American:
He said that in 1866, bill for the admission of
Florida into the Union State introduced in
to Congress. The cry raised by portion of
northern men against the admission of any more
slave States. He had carefully and correctly exam
ined the vote on the question Of her admission, and
he found the result in the House to be as follows
Northern Democrats, yeas 30: nays 4.
All other northern men, yeas 90; nays 81.
In the Senate:
Northern Democrats, yeas IL nays 90.
All other northern men, yeas 90 {; nays 9.
Thus it will be seen that if her admission as
slave State had depended solely upon northern DEM
ocrats she would have been triumphanty received.
But, if it had depended upon any all other par
ties North, she would have been Indignantly re-
jected.
Again: In 1845, a bill was passed for the &C.
QUESTION of more slave States. Upon examining
the vote the bill in the House, he found it to stand
as follows:
Northern Democrats yeas 70; nays 8.
All other northern men, yeas 90 nays 49,
Thus it will appear that had the acquisition and
admission of Texas with her kindred blood and
rich domain been left alone to the northern Demo-
Gratis, it would have been triumphantly carried Of
all other parties North, every solitary vote was cast
against 1t.
But, said Mr.. H., the most significant of all votes.
is the most recent one in the House upon The pro-
position to receive Kansas into the Union upon the
Abolition Topeka Constitution, gotten up by the
rebels and outlaws of Kansas in violation Of ali law
and order. Upon the bill recently introduced by
the Ab0litionists to admit her as free State under
that Constitution, We have the following significant
vote:
Northern Know othings, yeas 79-nays S.
Southern Know nothings, yeas 0O-nays 81.
The Democrats, North and South, voted against
it in solid mass. Thus, if left to northern Know
State under the illegal and criminal proceedings of
Topeka. If left to northern Democrats such bro.
position would have been Indignantly rejected.

and the teeth extracted without the slightest pain,
and with no bad consequences. It required but two
minutes to effect the purpose most three OF four

COmmittee.-From whatever source, then,
SIR, the difficulties in Kansas have originated,
this one thing is patent to the country and to
the world: that, notwithstanding all the efforts
OF the Government, disorders of the most fright
full character have prevailed; disorders that
would shame the worst despotisms of the worst
ages; disorders so widespread and so atrooious,
so bloody and so Internal, so deeply damning
and inhuman, that, to escape them, the wretched
inhabitants would make gain if transferred to
the despotic Governments of Russia, Of Austria,
or of France. During this dark reign of blood
and terror, during this fearful tempest of vio-
lence and anarchy, these poor unshielded vic
tins of plotted vengeance have broken no law
and committed no crime. For hating Slavery
because they loved Liberty, all these things have
come upon them.
Such, sir, is the nature and character of the
events which have transpired in Kansas during
the past eighteen months policy of the Govern
ment. AS representatives of the National Kan
sas Committee, we are here to-day to ask
1chetier any change in This policy Of tie Admia-
istrGttOR IS TO be expected?
President -" No, sirs! THERE WILL BE
NONEl"
Such, gentlemen ofthe National Kansas Com
mittee, is the substance of our interview with
President Pierce. The duty of commenting on
the facts here stated we leave to you. Our mis-
sion is ended. Respectfully, &c,

Beyond the far Nsvadas, with summer blooms around
him,
In the fading OF The sunset, one loved of many lay;
Languor and pain with weary chains had bound him,
And his lonely heart earning for the home-frends
far away
In his fever dreams, hands, tender and caressing,
Pressed his burning forehead and soohed the throb.

He listened his mother, in full OF blessing
Chanting yore a low and gentle strain
Voices full of music, like a wild birds singing,
Voices long since hushed sounding and
clear;
fragments OF old songs and tones Of laughter ringing
Ano pleasant household echoes, he never more might
Summer nights OF boyhood, full Of dewy spendor,
Bent their arch above him; and the river silently,
F1nged with dropping willows and birch-trees young
and slender,
And upbearins waer-hlies, nighfolded, foated by.
SO vision followed vision till the slowwanng hours
OF the weary night departed, and came the morning
red,
its thousand joyous voices and fowers
And its golden sheen fell brightly the eaiures of the
dead.

Last Saturday, August l6, was the auniver-

glorious day for Western Vermont The day
was appropriately observed by from eight to
ten thousand of the friends of Fremont and
Dayton, assembled in mass meeting / have

man, ian imported Germany and Carroll, of
Troy. The vast audience remained on the
ground for nearly six successive hours, while
the able speakers portrayed the wrongs of
Kansas, and the doings of the Slave Power,
and the humiliating position of Buchanan and
Fillmore, as the last fossil remains of race
OF doughfaces, which is fast passing away.
The political horizon is bright for Fremont
and Freedom, in this part of the State The
extra judicial oaths of the Know Nothings
cannot bind them to the old antediluvian can
didate, Mr.. Fillmore. Many, very many of
them, have burst the party bands that bound
them, and have avowed themselves openly for
Fremont. Notwithstanding this county (Rens-
selaerl gave last year a ma ority for Headly,
over King, of over 5000, yet we confidently
hope to carry it this year for Fremont and
Freedom. The people of this region are tired
of " cease agitation" candidates, for they are
always deceived by them when they get into
power.

SONG OF EROS TO THE HOURS.
BY BELLE BUSH.

To the halls of the Past, q shadowy throng,
We are tripping away, away;
And the sounds we weave in your mystic song
Are the voices of Night and Day.
We go, and We come not back,
Der the still and solemn track,
And never more will the tremulous chime,
Or musical beat
OF your pattering feet,
Ring out in the courts of Time
Glide along, glide along o ye swift winged hours.
Whose pulses the moments are;
The sum- your call, drinking dew from the flowers,
Mounts the sky in his burning car;
But your sisters will lead him back,
And the stars in his shining track,
Like shall steal from the {" house of Night"
While the Abbess Moon,
In her silver shoon,
Scauers her sheaves oflight.
Swift is your flight the may dance
AT the bridal of Hope and Mirth,
When bright TO the heart is the smile and glance
Ofthe queenly Madonna, Earth.
When JOY wakes her golden strings,
Ye float your sylphc wings,
And the tongue of Time, through the ispsing day,
Like ominous bird
Croaks on unheard,
And muiters his doleful lay.
But slowly and sadly We move along,
To hearts in the homes of Sorrow,
Who wistfully wait for the coming
OF brighter and better morrow
Pale is the flower that springs
In the shade of your leaden wings,
And far from the hum of the babbng day"
The spirit of grief,
Like sensitive leaf,
Silently shrinks away.
Glide on, glide on; we merry thieves,
Who pillage the beautiful Earth,
Stealing the blush from the rose-red leaves,
And the smiles from the lips of mirih
We gather LIES sands ye pass
And shiver the magic glass;
And ye laugh when We pilfe4 in elm gee
The hottest truth
From the heart of youth
But We can take nothing from me.

And | rule regions afsr;
With the Day God look from the blue sky
And l am ia

live in the maiden's dreams,
And my smile hangs the boc the path of the ,hocs
And the turtle dove
HUNS a lay of love,
And love is the song of the flowers.
All powers, all dominons, all seasons, mine,
And the gems We would rife from me,
In the Kingdom OF love, in their glory shall shine,
Flashing bright DER the infinite
o, light in my sunny bowers,
Are the steps of the laughing hours,
For their pulse beat. quick and their breath is free;
But charm them WELL
With holy spell,
So they take nothing from me.
Glide on, merry hours, to the shadowy throng,
To the halls OF the Past away;
Go tell to your sisters in sylphic song,
The graces of Night and Day
They go, and they come not back,
Der the still and solemn track;
And never more will the tremulous chimes
Or musical beat
OF their patermg feet,
a Ring out in the halls of Time.

the principle of the quickly succeeding action
