They are the most dangerous and 6endish Of all
men, and are, in my judgment, the very men that :
will eventually destroy the Union. They envy and
hate the South from sectional and party prcjudices
and because the Southern people are happy and
prosperous. Yes, they envy and hate the Southern
people from better motives than those which
prompt beggars to hate the opulent. These two
kinds of abolitionists, although acting together,
agree only in three things. 1st They agree in their
hatred to the Democracy-(they call the Democratic
party the slave party, and say that Mr. Buchananis
in favor of extending slavery, &c) End, They agree
and are alike as to their hatred Of slavery and cal.
ousy of the South. 3d. They agree as to their love
for office, which is very great. - i, .--.ss..
There is nothing in a name-principes and justice
are everything As an old Clay Whg, it does my
very soul good to the unflinching Democracy of
| the Nssh, in the hours of the country's danger,
possessing the moral power and courage to stand:up
boldly and fight for the Constitution for equal rights
for truth and justice against the attacks of graceess
| and powerful guilt.
| Let not the South be deceived It is time for the
| Southern people to know the important fact that
there are at this tme only tco great parties in the
North: One the Democratic) in favor of the Con-
sttuton it is-of State rights and State equality
of equal rights and privileges to every citizen in
| the Union. The other, the black Republican, aboli-
| tion party, which is nothing less than
great Northern sectional party, striving to get into
power with the view of not only debating to the
South, but of deprivng her of every Constitutional
right. Yes, this great Northern party has adopted
platform which declares that negroes equal to
white men, assumes rigorous ascendency. and
claims for its principles every inch of national terri
| tory.
To give the reader an idea of what is going on in
this and other Northern States, would state that
never before have seen greater enthusiasm mani
tested for any man, than there is shown at this time
by the black Republicans for Fremont. On the 18th
! inst, great Fremont mass meeting took place in
this city, and thirty thousand aboltionists,
| groes and Know Nothngs were present with their
hundreds of flags and banners blazonHg forth to the
wcrld. The following only part Of the inscrip
tions on their banners No more slave States"
Eternal opposition to slavery" The South is as-
sressive-we'll maintain our rights against them,"
The North for the North, !" " Dcwn with slavery"
mo compromises with slavery" Resistance to
slavery obedience to God" Let the people of the
South remember that the above notices illustrate
the principles and feelings Of nine out of every ten
of the men North, aohO are not members of the De-
aocratic party, Fillmore men included. l feel no
hesitation in saying that the foes of the Democracy
| in the North are almost to man the foes of the
| South and her institutions | also firmly believe
that the only hope of the Union is to be found in
the success Of the national, conservative, Democratic
principles such now being advocated i'm ecery
State of the Union by the Democracy and which
set forth in the Democratic platform adopted at
Cincinnati. Some of the black Republican flags
have only sixteen stars on them. and which repre-
sent only the sixteen free States Yes, the fifteen
Southern Statcs-the homes of Washington, Jack
and Clay-aTe not fit, in their Judgment, to have
place on the flag of the Union.
lfany Southern doubts what have stated,
all lie need do to be convinced of the truhfunesS of
the same, is for him come North and attend the
Fremont demonstrations and for himself. One
year ago the black Republicans objected to being
called abolitions,s by the Democrats, but they
like the name They also say that they do not ex-
pect or desire Fremont to get single Southern elec
tora VOTE but they say they expect to elect him by
Northern votes alone. If Fremont should be elected
President in all probability his cabinet and all the
important Offices of the government, down to the
post Offices in the South, will be filled by Northern
abolitlOnSts. What could or would the South do
in such u crisis?
1t is no time for the Southern people to be talk
ing about "Federalism," "ten cents day.
The issue is not one Of ordinary character-a mere
matter of dollars and ccnts-but is which the
safety, the homes and happiness of the whole South
depend
Mr. Fillmore as before stated-so far rs the North
is concerned-is out of the contest. He cannot get
a single Northern State If any doubt what l say
November next will tell the story.
1t would seem, from the way things have worked,
that there secret understanding between the
Know Nothnss, that Mr. Fillmore not to be
run in the North, but ony in the South, where he
is most popular. 1t may be the object of dema-
gogues-for the sake of otfce-to run the two cap-
didateS-Frcmont and h tillmore,-one North and the
other South with the hope of the two receiving
electoral votes enough to elect Of them-say the
one that may get the largest number OF votes. If
such should be the case, Fremont may be the next
President; for he will undoubtedly get more ecc.
toral votes than Mr.. Fillmore. Fremont's friends
say that he will get every Northern State; and am
free to say that, in my opinion, he will get major
ity of the free States, aud he may get most all ef
them, Pennsylvania and Indiana excepted.
Never, until the 10th inst, there any conven-
ton meeting held in this State, by the friends
of Mr.. Fillmore, 10 form electoral ticket for him.
On the day above stated, Fillmore mass meeting
held in this city, and instead of the assembling
of twenty or thirty thousand people, was the case
In the Fremont meeting, only some three or four
hundred met on the occasion, and it seemed, from
the debates that took place at the tme that nearly
one-half of that number anxious sell out to
Fremont BY arrangement between the parties on
the 1s of May last the black Republicans and Fill
more men fused and nominated a State ticket, which
is the only one opposed to the Democratic ticket
would say, in this crisis, let not the South be
divided or deceived The hour is trying one
The great question is, shall the Union be preserved
1t time for the Southern people to be disputng
tions in this, well in nearly all Of the other
Northern States, are for the present, laid aside
The single question OF slavery, is made all in ALL
repeat let the South and all Others who love the
Union look well to their interests before it is late
If the people VIII only be true to themselves, and
have not yet lost confidence in them, all may ye,
be right; bat If they fail to their DANGER until
demagogues and fanatics have got possession of the
government all will belost in revolutions and blood
she'd
have said what have, not partizan, but as
Clay Whig and one that loves the Union better
: than party. l repeat, if any doubt the truth o
q what have said, let them come North and see fol
s themselves.
