Rights Democrats and Americans of the South
must all mite and form Southern seetiO nal party
in defence Of Southern rights. None other win
or can secure our equality, independence and
safety. Nationals whether parties politicians

This is the language of the Charleston
Nccs, democratic, calling upon the Ameri-

South, against the treason of southern
democracy. Where is the Buchanan de-
mocracy which denounced Fillmore and
his southern friends as abolitionists, and
proclaimed, with all the assurance of prac-
ticed cheats, that the election Of Buchanan
would save the South, and secure its rights
in all time to come. Did not the Ameri-
cans tell you then, that Buchanan was no
better. than Fremont and that his election
would be triumph of freesoilism? Did
not the Americans remind you then, that
democracy had ever been false to the
South That alien suffrage, squatte1
Sovereignty and foreign immigration were
