The true Democrat., 1856-09-02
NO. 47.

Nottingham elected MT. Banks, man who is Willing 'to let the Union sde," and who is not aVerse to trying anal lgamation as an experi- ment; and now we tell Davis, Humphrey Mar snail & Co.,, that they are laboring for John c. fremont. They may disguise it as they please, and try to deceive the people of the south, but this Is the ultimate end of their labors No one Is insane enough any where to suppose Mir Fillmore can be elected by the popular vote, but by dint of hard lying and political misrepresen- tatlon, there IS remote possibility that the election may be thrown into the House. That is all the Fremont men expect or hope to do.- They no more calculate to elect Fremont be- fore the people than they do to ever be honest men. But they hope, in connection with the Fillmore delusion, to bring the Presidency into the House, and in this contingency such cor rupt politicians as Thurlow Weed, Horace Greeley, William H. Seward, etc, can accom- plsh almost anything.
 Ihls then, Is whatsouthern Know Nothings are laoorng for, and we must confess that we have seen more shameful attacks upon Mir Buchanan In southern Know Nothing papers than any abolition papers in the north. Some Keep an unblushing falsehood at the head of their columns in large capitals to the effect that he IS in favor of low wages; others islander him Tn other ways, but all are bitter and uncomrro- missing. The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail has over flowed hitherto with the most incessant abuse of Gen. Pierce, and extracts from it have been paraded in the abolition journals of the north to show how unpopular the democracy were at the south.
 In recent number of the Augusta Citizen, published at Prattsville Alabama, there was a call for rope to hang Douglas, not the black skinned Doug lass, but the black hearted Dou- gas,' which would have done credit to the black aud white meeting ill Boston, where Washington Was denounced by aeqro as ca scoundrell'' Why is there such astate of pub-
 lie sentiment at the south? We know it is very limited, but 1t would seem that when the northern democracy are noby and herocally lighting for the equal rights of the south under the constitution, that there would be no one left to abuse them for their patriotism. Not long since we heard an old democrat at the north, who has been an uncOmpromising enc. my to abolltionisrn. declare that if the south, at this crisis, defeated Mir. Buchanan. by giving two or three States to Fillmore, SO hclp him God, he would never raise his hand t1 defend It hereafter. And this sentiment Is shared by large number of democrats at the north.
 We do not hold to the idea ourSelf, for as we look at the subject we feel that we are fight
 ms JoC ao lIilCil luI tue loFtH as the south; but it Is not 10 be disguised that, superticially con sldered, there Is some pausibility in toe posi- tlon We are fighting at the north against great odds. We have both Fillmoreites and Fremonters to contend with. In many States they are either wholly or partially combined. and ready, at all times, to trade and traffic local offices to accomplish national desiguS. Thus It IS often difficult to tell who are our most for mdable enemies or where to strike The foe IS sometimes Ill ambush. sometimes on our rear and rarely in front. In fair fight, we could whip both factions, but with southern men to give an odor of nationality to those who are really thelr enemies we are sometimes placed Tn ttlcult and embarrassing position The Herad tormerly friendly to the south, now in- forms Its northern readers that the "nigyer driving democracy" which it pleases to style the friends of MT. Buchanan, are really an nsignI- tcant faction, and "tAot he real friends of Ire mont qt tue south are t present coulpehei 0 to battSe under he Janner cf F2lnaorc'' Is this the complexion to which affairs have come? Are Marshall Davis, Yancey, Prentice, etc., really the friends of Fremont? We will not pretend to say whether they are real friends of the blac, republicans or not, but this we do say, they could not so effectualy assist Fremont in any other way than by pursuing thcirpresent course. As open allies we could crush them, but when rowing one way while looking another they de- ceive many honest, Union-loving men, and make them unlntentionallv the allies of aboli- tlonlsm. The south owes 1t to its own honor to subdue her domestic enemies, as even more dangerous to her peace and safety than open foes
