These figures shows the violent death OF the
old Wing party, the sudden uprising of the
Jack-oiantern Know Nothing party, the demOr-
allzation disntegrati0n OF the rotten Pierce and
F0rney democracy, and the powerful concentra-
ton oil the people OF the North into the new re-
publican party, since the nomination Of Fremont
upon the broad and comprehensive platform of
the constitution, State rights and free States Of
free territories, especially KANSAS and a new or
der OF things ut W ashington, out and out. Be-
tore this practcle Fremont movement we per-
ceiyc, from the above election records that
Know Notlingism disappears like morning fog.
| With the collapse of the old wing party and the
Generalization OF the democracy 10y this Pierce
administration vast amount OF political debris
was thrown adrift, and much OF it sought tenn
porary lodgmcnt in the novel ark OF Know Moth
iugism; but it was a crazy craft, and tumbled
to pieces with the hrst ruffie npon the waters.
As in the North, SO in the South has this
Know Nothing wl-o.the-wisp fickered out be
fore the first practical tests of the Presidential
canvass. The late State elections in North Car.
ona, Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri, indi-
cate a Southern reaction in favor of Buchanan |
and the niger driving democracy, which, if not
as enthusiastic as the opposition Northern move
ment, promises as decisivcly the solid vote Of
the South upon one Presidential ticket. The |
very States in the South upon which Mr.. Fill |
more was taught to rely in any contingency, |
have been the first to desert him; and he is for
all practical purposes i'll this contest, clearly
out OF the question as Capt. Tyler
The paramount issue in this canvass is, shall
Kansas be free State !-as it will inevitably be.
IL the bayonet and burning policy OF JEFF Davis,
Pierce and the border rutiians is suppressed or
shall Kansas be slave State, even il to make it
so it shall require the slaughter or expulsion
of every free white settler in the Territory?
Upon this issue there is no room for man car.
ryine water upon both shoulders, like Mr.. Fill |
more-no room, North or South and il he is |
not Withdrawn he will be thrown off the track |
or crushed to atoms under the locomotive
The Maine election is but the premonitory whis-
tie OF the approaching train around the curve
of the White Mountains. Clear the track!
Think of a democratic plurality OF over six
thousand in the Maine State Presidential test
election of 1852 revolutionized to an opposition
majority of from twelve to fifteen thousand in
the State Presidential test election of 1856!
These State elections, Immediately preceding
the Presidential election, very seldom fail to
guide US correctly. The party generally succeed
ing in the State elections invariably not only
carries the same States n the Presidential cleo
tons, but carries them with largely increased
| msjorities, and other States besides. Thus, too
the State elections operate upon each other; and
the ball, from State 10 State, goes 'rresisubly
rolling Oh, with an increased momentum at ev-
cry bound, just as great rock, detached from
mountain top, increases i'll speed and strength
at every bound as it goes rushing and crashing
downward to the open plain. In this view, from
the impulses, Iowa, Vermont and Maine, We
shall not be in the least surprised to see Penn
sylvania crushing down upon the rufans and
spoils Ofdemocracy IN October like all avalanche;
nor will anything short OF seventy-iive thousand
Fremont majority astonish US as the October re-
suit in Ohio.
