The Southern political press, truly remarks
the Dubuque Republican, has never been
more open and frank in its avowal of polti.
cal purposes and plans, than it is during the
present canvass. The triumphs of slavery
during the past four years-the successful
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, mea-
sure for which even Mr.. Calhoun never
dared to hope-and the ready, eager promp-
titude which the Democratic party at Gin
cinnati yielded to the exactions of the slave
holding power, seem to have inspired the
political leaders of the South wi h the belief
that the time has come when they can safely
and even with advantage to themselves,
make open proclamation of the projects they
have in store for the future, ss4, .a-
In proof of this, and as an indication oil
what these projects are, we invite attention
to the following leading editorial from the
Richmond (Va.) Enquirer Of Friday, Aug
Goth;
LOOK THE FUTURE IN THE FACE,
Every ones experience attests the truth
of the maxim that, very often, the way to
arrest danger is to meet it half way, To
prepare for it is often to avert it. The os-

give them all the territories and, like the
horse-leech, their thirst for blood will in
crease by its qualification. Teach them that
they can conquer, and we can submit, and

The multitude ready to rush down on the

numbers, the character, the designs Of our
enemies. Let us prepare to resist them and
drive them back. TO yield to them, to con-
cede to them, to snbsidize them, as the
Romans did, will but increase their aggres-
sions. Give them all the unsettled territory
north of SO 80 to-day. and tomorrow, az
Frecsoilers, they will claim all south of sc

will invade the States, expel the slaves and

The election of Mr.. Buchanan mag, and
probably rW, originate a reaction in public
opinion that pM encourage the extension of tht
conservative institution Of slauery, and the ex-
tension of the British and Southern Euro
pean races, for the very purpose of stem
ming and turning back the torrent of inf
deity, materialism, sensuality, agrarian,
ism, and anarchy, that threatens to over
whelm us from the prolific hive of Northern
Europe. $50 @ afs,s r-.t.-esf
