THE sYREN SONG OF PARTY.

fsGiye up Kansas and save the harmony of the
National Democracy says the Natchez Courier, is
now the cry of most of the Southern Democratic
press. What the National Democracy have intended
all along can be gathered from speech by H. B.
PAYNE. the nominee of the Ohio National Democracy
for the Office of Governor. The Convention met at
Columbus on the 5th inst and after passing resolu
tons heartily endorsing the acts of the admnistra
ton, Mr.. Payne was introduced, and delivered
lengthy address upon State and National politics.
Speaking Of the Buchanan W aker policy in Kansas,
be says:
"Under his administration Kansas, protected alike
from New England and the South, is working out the
peaceable fruits of Righteousness AT DAY not DIS
tant doubtful, from the beginning haa neen pre-
dicted Kansas will be admitted into the galaxy OF
States with Free State constitution by the votes OF
her own people abolishing forever, slavery in her
midst, thus furnishing an application OF practical
Democratic doctrines"
There is food for serious reflection in the foregoing
observations of the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio There is not sentence in the para
graph that does not carry with it deep and subtle
meaning, when intelligently considered and rigidly
scanned, with an eye single to the TRUTH the actual
truth the practical TRUTH and nothing but the truth
Mr.. Payne is the candidate of the National De-
mocracy of Ohio for the first office within the gift
of the people sof that mighty commonwealth. NO
doubt he is an able, shrewd politicians deXterous
wire.worker-cool and calculating in speeeh-plea-
SAINT and popular in address, and man who weighs
well the effect of his words before he gives them Ut
terance-for the " National Democrats" usually run
such order of men for exalted position. These North
| ern National Democrats " resemble Richard III IN
| in one particular. He could " smile and murder
while he smiled" They can smile, and wheedle ana
coax, and protest that they serving the South,
while at the very instant they are planning schemlns
and plotting to rob the South of all tangible enjoy
ment of the Territories-the common property OF the
whole confederacy If any one doubts this, let MN
lust glance at Walker and Buchanan, and Kansas
Territory. Farer spoken men cannot be lound.
They are great promises-sublime on PROFESSIONS
huge on patriotism. But look at their acts, and 1t
will be found that every act no matter how sweet the
phrases that chronicle its contamination, is marked
with injury outrage and insult to Southern institu.
tons, rights security and honor.
The South voted almost en- n,asse for Mr.. Buchanan
on the pledge that he would that Southern rights
were protected in the Territories or to use the words
of Col Sandidge, Democratic candidate for Congress
\ in the Fourth District, to % save Kansas to che
South To tell how often this statement was dinned
in the ears of the people would well nigh battle the
powers of the multiplication table. 1t had its effect.
| The voters of the South supported Buchanan-made
him President-and now the effect is becoming mani
4 fest. Had Fremont been elected, the South could
4 not have been made worse off. Fremont would have
bent every energy Of his administration towards
making Kansas free State. Has not Mr.. Buchanan
done the same thing? If there is any truth in Dem
ocratc ayerments, made from Virginia to Arkansas,
he has,
And, on top of this wrong and outrage, this deceit
and treachery come arrogant dictations and insult
ing illusions to the people Of the South, from the
Presidents central organ-the Washington Union
telling them that their only safety is in the National
| Democracy of the country-that very Democracy
i which has just cheated them out of Kansas and de-
prved them of every hope of obtaining possession of
4 any Of the Territories of the Northwest! II our
people can be deluded by such means, no fate the
future NAV have in store for them can be too
or too contemplate. 0
/ Mr.. Payne, the Ohio Democratic candidate for
Governor plainly says that Kansas will come into the
Union as free State, with constitution abolish
ing forever slavery in her midst, thus furnishing an
application of practical Democratic doctrines" There
is no doubt but that Mr.. P. is as good National
4 Democrat as either Buchanan or Walker, any
other prominent leader of the same party North.
From such telling facts as these the Southern peo
pie will, if they are sensiby disposed, be enabled tc
arrive at proper estimate Of the value Of Northern
" National Democracy"
