THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
1t must be evident says the Louisville Tmes) to every
intelligent that either democrat BLACK republic
will be elected the President of the United States
We must select between national conservative democrat
and n regular thoroughbred aboonst Of the Giddines
and Greeley school. The black republicans will meet in
Philadelphia in June next and will then present to the
electors Of the nation candidate who is the nbodnnent
Of their principles and aims and either he the nominee
Of the National Democratic Convention viii be the next
Mr. Fillmore by the know-uothings cannot alter change
Upon II will be prevent election by the people and
throw il into the House OF representatives, But there the
same issue presents itself and either the democratic or
black republican party must triumph The duty of the
southern portion of the socaled American party,
der such circumstances, is plain that il requires no
argument 10 point il out There surely in'elli
gent member Of the party whose judgment does not tell
him that 1t is his duty lay down bis and heartily
cooperate with the democratic party in preserving the
consultation and the Union No man, who will calm
y review the ground possibly entertain any hope of
the election Of Mr. Fillmore Whatever strength Mr. Fill
may possess is States where there are overwhcm
ing ajori,ies against the know nothing party. He was
nominated by the southern members OF the convention,
aded by portions of delegations from the northern States
the major part having already boted from the conventions
and repudiated its action lie goes into the contest with
the ghost Of chance to carry single non-slavehod-
ing State and with the very smmes sort Of hopes for one
two slave States In all The non-slavehoding Stats
know no,hngism oxpounded by the Philadelphia con-
ven,ion, is fed be crushed between the upper mill
Of democracy and the neither milestone Of anti-slave
~ When allied with abotonsn it formidable, but
shoru of that its chief strength there is not single free
State in the Union where it forms respectable bal
power party. When it strongest and claimed
superior nationality aided by all its secret machinery it
could carry bat southern States and those by MAJOR
greatly less than those of its predecessor the whg
party.
The division of the ant-democrac forces in the free
States renders easy for the South If she is but true to
herself TO the election Of sound national man to
the presidency and by decisive triumph over the agita-
Of the North forever pot to rest the demon Of anti
slavery The democratic party can he sure of sufficient
number OF free States with the united South to elect the
President The only hope of the ahoonsts of the North
Is throw the election into the House. where their chances
Of success are the best The following article from the
Cincinnati Gazette an organ Of both know nothngism
aud Sbolitonism fully confirms us in this view:
1--WE do not believe the ticket will with popular ia
vor the States least not for the present The nom

party have held their convention and named their The
democratic convention will be held in June, and the republic
can convention will be held about the same time.
when the three parties have their candidates 10 the field
then we expect witness sharp and active The
American party the South will have to meet single handed

As the nominations Of Fillmore and Donslson made

that bey give them the best support they and
a. many States them possible the the better In
