1t is asserted by the supporters Of Rr,n..

tension Of Slavery, that if elected pros;d..,
he would favor the cause of Freedom ~
though the South may support him hoo,
they think him favorable to the Interest, -
Slavery, yet they will be disappointed :
plain words, the South is to be cheated :. -
event OF Mr. BccHANAN's election Nou
apart from the want Of morality in s,,l
assumption, we submit if the North s ,o,
more danger of being cheated in surb an,
than the South. Does not the past poi,.,I
history of the country prove that the Son.,
can bring an influence to bear pnon i
President in the struggle between Slar.r,. .,
Freedom, which secures him for tn. formon, -,
Can any Freeman, who exccpts to the Cincir,a..
platform and TO Mr. BucHANAN's upsee,oIy h..
to place himself thereon, but who ytiu ir,on.
to support him III hopes that the South ix ,o,.
cheated, find anything in the past to warr,n,
such Il conclusion
Those who support Mr. Buchanan and ~

BUCHANAN must necessarily be more sun

has ever been. The latter was elected by the
North, as well as the South He was I'M,

not stand up against the powerful Influences
brought to bear npon him How much bet

that in which Buchanan has voluntarily placed
himself, who is especially the candidate Q. the
South, and if elected will owe bis success to
the votes of Slavery extensioni>t> H. stand,
too, upon platform constructed to promote
Southern interests, pledged to carry out tho
most ultra schemes of Slavery aggrandizement,
and to seize upon Cuba, whenever the South
shall declare it necessary for their interests

We prefer rather to truSt the candidate Of the
Republican party, in whose election, nobody
will be cheated, bnt all sections will be treat

and JACKSON.
