The latest Objection to Mr.. Ruo.

ooeuon to Mr.. Bucha,.u
one OF the latest objections urged bv tha
ooh 10 Mr.. Buchanan. is that he is n sso.; 0pp0s'
not national candidate. There is npi,ho0 and

But Mr.: Buchanan, it is charged, is sectional l.,
cause his prospects of election are better in ono O..
ton of the country tran they are in ano,her-h.
cause he is not as strong in the North as he Isl
the South. We admit this to be so, andve civ.
good reasons for it, The South, as body b,s =,
ways been Democratic the North, as BODY h.,
always been anti-Democratic. In addition to Hi,
the North seeks to deprive the South of her CoD.,
tutional rights-Mr. Buchanan, as Just Man ON
poses this attempt of the North thus to inure her
and the result is he gains friends in the South. T,
is the whole of it. Surely, it does not follow that
Northern man is sectional because he is for the RIGHT
and for justice; surely, it cannot be that the South
is sectional and in the wrong when she asks only
what the Constitution guarantees to her.
We have never claimed peculiar privileges for the
South at the hands of the national Democratic party
We ask Of that party this, and this ony-tod do
equal and exact justice as between all portions Of
the Union-to deal with North Carolina, for exam
pie, as with Massachusetts,. The South has eou,
rights in the common territories with the North
and the Democratic party and Mr.. Buchanan SO dc.
clare. Is that sectionazisns? If So then is the
Democratic party sectional; but if not, what be.
comes of this charge against Mr.. Buchanan and his
friends?
But Mr.. Filmore-what is he Is he not sectional.
He was nominated by part only of the Know Moth.
ing delegates at Philadelphia in February last and
the greater portion of his former Know Nothing as.
sociates of the free States now active supporters
OF Fremont. The Convention which nominated
him fell into disorder, and seven or eight States
withdrew from it before his nomination was made,
thus leaving only faction y behind to act. lie
stands now upon platform which is sectional, for
it denounces national, Constitutional measure
the repeal of the Missouri restriction. Mr.. Buchan.
an has Electoral tickets in all the States-Mr Fill
more has not Mr. Buchanan's friends in all the
free States are contending single-hanaed and alone
against the Fremont and Fillmore men; whereas,
the friends of Mr. Fillmore in fusion with those
of Fremont. in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and other
States.
But, say Southern men, Mr.. Buchanan is too
strong IN the South, he is sectional Is not that's
singular objection for Southern men to offer? Tile
Democratic candidate is too sound for them they
want moderate, calculating, cold blooded man. who
can carry the abolition vote. Why, that is the
black Republican cry. They-the black Republi.
cans-are constantly charging that Mr.. Buchanans
pro-slavery man-the candidate of the slave
drivers" True enough,"-is the echo from the
Fillmore men Of the South-"he is too sectionaL"-
What do the people think of such an objection and
of the men who AXE it?
JOHNSTON SUPERIOR CoURr.-Wc learn that the
slave Jim who was convicted at previous term Of
the Superior Court of Johnston, of an assault upon
white female, with intent to commit rape, was
again arraigned on Thursday last, his Honor Judge
Saunders presiding; a new trial having been OBJ.
tanned for him under an order from the Supreme
Court The Jury, after an absence ofseveral hours,
returned verdict of not guilty. This is the case IN
which it was held that the owner of the slave is in
capital cases, competent witness in his behalf
Mr.. Attorney General Bachelor for the State, and
Messrs. Cantwel, Miller, and Sherard for the pris
oner.
The ART PRoGREssING.-We have been shown
specimens of pictures styled Ambrotypes takenat
the Daguerrean Gallery of Ravens & Mallon, when
appear to be faultless lkenesses Mr.. Malon has
just returned from the North, perfected in all the
latest improvements in this rapidly advancing art
Ambrotyping is now supplanting the old system OIL
Daguerreotyping, and with the beautiful effects pro-
duced by the recent discoveries in colorng, it BIDS
fair to place portrait painting amongst the things
that were. See advertisement in another column
