the President" and If be true as we are also
informed, that he had an interview with the
wireworkers Of the Union office, and If it be
true as reported, that there is ON foot trade be-
tween the New York Republicans and the New
York Buchanan Democrats, to erchange Uotes
'0tth each other, then it is evident, that both
these factions there have agreed upon perpet-
uating the "squatter sovereignty policy, and
agreed, moreover, to unite their respective
forces in that State, TO defeat the conservative
American nominations.
But il may be answered, that the sham
Democrats Of New York would prefer that Mr..
Fillmore should carry New York, rather than
that Mr.. Fremont should do it. This is a pal
pa6le error. II twere possible that Mr.. FIRE.
mont could be elected by the aid of New York,
the Buchanan men would throw their influence
in New York in favor of Mr.. Fillmore to defeat
Fremont, in the hope of Buchanan's receiving
a majority of the electoral votes from the other
States--but the contest is no longer between
Mr.. Fremont and either of the other candi-
dates-it is between Fillmore and Buchanan,
and hence the game row is, to prevent Mr..
Fillmorc's carrying New York land, there
being no possible chance for Buchanan there,
his friends desire to weaken Fillmore by de-
priving him of New York.
This is true statement of the condition of
things in New York, and it may give rise to
some very serious reflections in Southern
minds, when they observe the tactics Of For
neyism, and development of the sympathies
existing between the Buchanan Democrats
and the Fremont Republicans of the Empire
State Of the North These two elements will
unite in the end, upon the basis of "squatter
sovereignty" Us final and indefeasible means
Of securing to the North, in all the future, an
overwhelming preponderance in the National
Councils. The election Of James Buchanan
would settle the question, that there will never
through all time, be another slave State added
| to the Union.
Were Texas to be divided into three more
States, according to the compact with her,
such is the number of Germans in those por-
tions of that State from which the new States
would be carved, and so numerous would be
| the accessions of those classes before the divi-
sion would be effected, that five out of six ef

of slaves, and abolish slavery, if, under the
laws Of Texas, there should be slaves in the
States cut off from Texas
| AS to future acquisitions of territory in the
Southwest, they must be obtained from Mexi-
leo sohen obtained. By the Aerican laos sla-
| gery is prohibited, and the Mexicans resident
in the acquired territory would, under this
"squatter sovereignty" doctrine, take immedi-
ate measures to prevent the immigration Of
slaves into such territory, and thus would the
present slave States Of the South be hemmed
in effectually, by the ocean on one side, and
by free States on the North ard West!
This is precisely the state Of things which
the slave States openly and knowingly con-
tract for" when they accept the Cincinnati
platform and its nominees They can look for
no other result--they can hope for no other
result they will be entitled to no other result
AS they soill haze made their bed, so must
they lay an 1t. If the South now voluntarily
choose the Cincinnati platform and its nom-
nees, in preference to the platform of the
American party, (Which is based, as to the
Territorial question: upon the Compromise
measures Of 1867 and its nominees, they will,
in so doing, decide for themselves that Slavery
shall not be further extended. This soas the
AIM, and this soill Be the certain EFFECT of
