FIFTEEN SLAVE STATES.


Necessary to n choice ,...............ll9
OF course there various opinions 10 the result Of
the approaching election the general result and the re-
suits in pai icuar States Some Of these opinions are
soubess put forth for political effect while others, We
may presume express the real sentiments modified by
the wishes, OF those who utter them. We, too, have
wis hes which are liable 70 bias our Judgment Bat
at least there shall be humbug about our calculations
they shan be honestly made and iearlessly uttered
leaving the event 10 decide. II must be confessed that
N many Of the States there Is much greater difficulty
than usual in rroenosticatng results by reason q ae
djointed condition Of the old parties an the disturb
ing elements which have been introduced IN the sha %
OF Amerieansln and republicansm so called. 1t Is,
however, TO be noted that repabcanism has no exist
in the fifteen slave holding States, or numbers too
few adherents to justify the formation OF an electoral
ticket except possibly Missouri, where it is hoaght
few thousand votes for such tick't mp mt be obtained
In these fifteen States then, have only 70 look at the
democratic and Amer AN parties with such reference
TO the remains Of the cd wing party as tae case MAJ
require. True, large portion OF the wings are merged
in The American party but not ALL There are numerous
Individuals s the country, comprising many Of IN
respectable and Influential members OF the old zh
party whs did and never WILL consent to be NJ rsed
in the party which supplanted them. Hitherto these
for the most part have remained Inactive not caring
70 waste heir energies IN iruiess contest Win ,sei
invaders yet being prepared 70 co operate with ID 30
btndiary foes, the democrats. Bat the new phase q
politics which has come up in the shape OF black repGo-
patriotic ctizers be lockers while their
Try demands their help. Especially at the South when
they become convinced they coon will be, II
they already that the contest not between
two national Buchanan and Fillmore but bet Teep
a national q sectional man, Buchanan and IRE
moIt-beween democracy purified OF its most niscbev
els ingredients, and black republicans composed OF
those ercci It and detection OF wbiggcry and rel
m spiced it'll sharps liac theoogy-we say
when ole Inc wings at the South land the may
said or many OF the AmericaIs) to understand the
question this light they viii not hesitate moment
give their influence and their votes for Buchanan
and Brccknrdge. At least i've OF the whg United
States Senator's now In Congress, viz Messrs. benjamin.
Of louisiana Jones' OF Tennessee, Geyer, OF Missouri
and Pierce Of Mary land have already, in the
NEST public avoged their intention TO support

Of thousand like minded II lot all so distinguished. This
