would As soon think Of supporting Satan on
any platform he might concocI, as 10 sup
port James Buchanan on,he Cincinnati con.
uivance. That ticket, therefore, did not
suit "s' f~"
Mex, came ihe Northern Know Nothing
ticket, with N. P. Banks for President, and
Gov. Johnston for Vice President. Both
these candidates are good men, and right
on the question Of Slavery Extension; but
they are excep,ionable to large portion o.
The Republican party, on account OF sneir
Know No,hingism, and the manner in which
lheV &ete norilna,ed-by an insignificant
body oi self.cohsii,Hied leaders Of the X.
N. order in the Free States, wishou, author
iy from The people. Then, we do not be-
lievs these candidates will consent to dis
uac, The Republican forces by allowing their
names to remain before ihe public, knowing
.ha, they are no, the choice Of the people,
and that, by running, they will only aid In
the election Of Mr.. Buchanan. Tha. ticket
did not suit.
Next came another K N. nomination,
made by secsders from the last,named body
Robert F. Stockton and Kenneth Raynor.
The remarks above, relative 10 Banks and
Johnson will apply equally TO Stockton and
Raynor. with this excepIion-lhe firs!.pamed
are the bes. and most popular mon, and were
nominated by the larger and more respec'a'
BILE body. So that .icke. did no. suit.
Lastly, we have the Republican ticket
| JOHN C. FREMONT, Of California, for
President, and WILLIAM L. DAYTON,
Of New jersey, for Vice President. That
ticket, all lhirgs considered, DID SUIT.
II suited, in the first place, because II was
made BY one of the largest ard most respect
able Conventions ever assembled In this
counry-composed Of the best men in the
, counry-nen fresh from the people-men
who had heretofore been identified, some
! with the Wing party, some with The Demo-
, cratic party. some with The Freesoil party,
some with The American party, and some
who had stood aloof from party politics al
( together. Il suits, In the second place, be-
. cause the candidates selected ATE moi old
s.. mus.y. WORKOUT political hags, but men In
i The prime and vigor Of manhood, Of ire
d proachable characters, Of indomlable ener
gy and perseverance, and, like those wht
Il nominated them, fresh from The ranks oil lh'
}, people. In the third place, IL suits, because
o The Two candidates had formerly acted will
!. differen, political parlies--Fremon. hsvinI
# acted with The Democratic, and Dayton will
n the Wing party, until both those organiza
n lions united for the spread Of slavery. Ii
O The fourth place, i, suits, because Of tn
!, unanimily. enthusiasm, and good feelinI
is which characterized the Convention an,
d the nomination. In the fifth place. !, suits
;. because Of the principles Incorporated int
e The platform, and heartily endorsed by III
s, nominees. This we regard as the most es
/. ,en,iaI particular. W,hou, This, no matte
Is how we'll the ticket might suit, in other pa
m iiculars, we could not supponil. With lh
e. we can overlook a multitude Of minor ot
al ec,ons. But, in the sixth and last plac
id i, suits, because we believe, with this tick
Republcanism will triumph. We therefor
,t, unfurl our banner for Free Speech, FRI
