the idea that his election will secure to them ID his
especial friends and hackers an extra share in the
spells. Neither Pierce, Douglns, Buchanan, Cas-
or Marcy is proposed as a candidate ON any
ground of respect for Northern sentiment, or
protection to Northern rights and interests. To
hint any such thing in connection with
their names, would indeed be a most
fatal attack upon them by drawing down the South
ern veto. To avoid that and to gain over the
Southern support by which the selection must
finally be determined, the great strife among the
friends of the various Northern candidates is to
satisfy the Shareholders that the man whom they
propose can be safely trusted to 90 the full length
of all possible Slavery extending projects, wheth-
or within the United States or beyond their pres
ent limit; that in fact be knows no North, and
will be ready, if chosen President, to mitate-for
it would be impossible to go beyOnd-the syco-
phantic subserviency to the slavedrvng interest Of
President Pierce himself
With all these fawning, cringing sycOphants at
their ftet-sunk by voluntary selfabasement far
below the degradation of the most miserable black
slave that ever breathed-which if either of all
these political prostitutes thus urgently pressing
themselves and pressed by their respective pimps
upon slavedriving notice, the South may choose to
select as the desired instrument of its unnatural
desires for the next four years, it is at this moment
impossible to say. The probability was that,
spurnDg the whole of them as altogether too das-
tardly and contemplate to be selected for
such an Office "a the Presidency of the
United States-an office even ia slavehOding esti-
nation already too much dishonored by such
craven dough aces as Fillmore and Plerce-the
South would have contemptuously kicked all
those Northern sycophants aside, and would have
sele cited for the candidate soma Southern man. But
the indications already everywhere apparent OF
great Northern upheaving against club law aud
slayehodrg domination, whether at Washington
or in Kansas may, perhaps, make them deem 1t
necessary to avoid by this last act, opening as it
were, the eyes even of the blind. They will sub
nit, perhaps, once more TO support as candidate
some Northern Benedict Arnold inhOpes Ofnaucing
other traitors to sell themselves for the prospect OF
promotion and pay Nay, more, it is possible
that-droppiDg Douglas the creature most after
their own hearts-dropping Pierce, who has so
completely sacrificed all the little OF him there was
to sacrifice for the sake of securing renomina-
housekeeping these superserviceable tools, as
already broken in the service and not available for
Northern votes-it is possible they may take
I'D az a candidate some Northern man about whom
there still fingers some odor of decency, and for
whom it may be possible, without carrying ASST
rance altogether too far, to ask Northern men to
vote.
But with no intelligent Northern man can it
make pins difference whom tina. Cincinnati
Convention may nominate. The man who takes
nomination from them becomes BY that very act a
traitor to his country, pledged that if elected he
will employ the whole force Of the General Gov

suppression of liberty. We doubt not the csndi.
date be he who he may, will find, as ex'President
Fillmore is finding, that the votes of Northern
freemen are not to be disposed Of by packed Con-
ventons and cOntrivne politicians.
