parties in the field-the Democrats on one side and
the isms of all sorts and sizes the other. The
Neal Dowites who go for making men temperate by
Statute law and domestic inqusition, the Abolition
lists who faunt a banner with sixteen stars and the
Know Nothings who go for runaway negroes from
the South and curse white emigration from Europe,
all these arrayed against the Democrats.
This Fall there have been two STATE elections held
at the North and another is progressing to-day. In
Iowa and Vermont the Democrats have been beaten.
What will be the result in Maine is yet to De seen.
But there is noticeable fact in connection with
these elections which should not be lost sight OF by
the people of the South when they come to cOnceD-
trate their forces upon of the two presidential
candidates presented to them,-for We regard Ere.
mont of The count so far as the South is con-
cerned. The fact to which refer is this, that in
all of these States, Iowa, Vermont and Maine, the
Democrats the friends of Mr.. Buchanan have raised
the banner of opposition 10 Black Republcanism. -
They have run candidates, and if in Vermont and
Iowa, they have fallen, they have fallen battling
manfully for their principles Where acre the
Fillmore men-the National Americans of Iowa
and of Vermont where are the Fillmore men Of
Maine in this struggle ?-No-where! Either the
Fillmore party unable to run ticket in single
one of these States or it unwilling. Either it
could not it would not, and yet the South is sked
TO vote for candidate that so far has shown mself
without any party at all. The Democrats have been
beaten in Vermont, where they have always been
beaten and they have also been beaten In Iowa. and
the Flmoretes haze not been beaten either because
there were of them to beat,-not enough TO get
up ticket-or because they were merged in the
anti democratic coalition. We ask the people of the
South to mark these facts.
Rag~The Democrats of Indiana had q grand rally
at Tippencanoe, in that State on the Sd inst, at
which 10000 persons present The meeting
addressed by Messrs. Douglas, Breckinridge and
others.
By the way we notice that the Herald of this place,
in one of its issues last week, found fault with Mr.
Breckenridge, candidate for the subordinate office
of Vice President, because of his addressing public
meeting Of Democrats. and 10 the next days paper
made certain extracts from recent speeches of Mr.
Fillmore, its candidate for the Presidency, the
basis of much eulogum!
We farther notice in the Herald of Saturday. some
thing given proof of the assertion that Garrison,
Wendell Philip and Parker Pillsbury, favour Buch-
anans election. Now, before we proceed TO examine
this so called evidence We must refer to the nature
and object of the original assertion, being to cast
suspicion upon Mr.. Buchanan's fidelity to the rights
of the South by associatng with his NAME the names
of these notorious characters, as among his supper
tiers. So far, so good. Now turn to the evidence
which the Herald relies upon to "sete the question:
1t consists OF an extract made from the New York
Courier and Enquirer, abotonist, which informs the
world that the National Era also aboitionis states
that Parker Pilsbury and Wendell Phillips, abolition
lists of the Garrison School, have declared their pre-.
ference for James Buchanan, aleging-now mark this
alleging that they have still hopes of disunon, and
that the election of Buchanan, may effect that object
Why do they allege this? Because they know
lanes Buchanan TO bo tho unry nnt;rodo Of they
shout and howl for-because they dream of raising
the anaticism of their infdel followers to such a
pitch as to do away with the constitution that they
have denounced a compact with hell. They favor
Buchanan's election the very principle that
disunonlst per at the South would prefer that
of Fremont, because they might think it would tend
to the promotion OF their wishes Garrison and his
school are loo crazy to be feared. AS specimen of
their talking we give the following from Garrsons
