THEY ADMIT IT NOW.

peculiar friends of slavery propaganda
ism. Starting with the fact that Mr.
Fillmore signed the fugitive slave law
(as part of a system of compromises
they ran perfectly wild in their foolish
and unfounded accusations of subservi-
ency to the chivalry." Working
themselves up into a fine condition OF
extravagance, and weak excitability
they actually declared that the demo-
cratic party, which had violated all
compromises and precedents in order to
get slavery into Kansas, and which en-
braced all the dis-unionists and ultraists
of the south, was not half so objection
able in their view of the subject, as the
American party. In vain did the Amer
leans point to the fact that they had de-
nounced the violation of the Missouri
compromise in their national platform =
that the conservative men of the south
were supporting Fillmore - and that
all the secessionists and ultra pro-slave-
ry men of the Wise school, were in the
ranks of the democracy. In vain did
such men as Prentice call upon the
moderate and reasonable men of the
North, to join with the moderate and
reasonable of the South, in supporting
a man under whose administration ius-
tice might be done to both sides, with
out any unnecessary humiliation on the
part of either. The republicans had
resolved to go the whole hog, and in
order to escape the responsibility of a
refusal to accept compromise candid
ate, they boldly denied his character,
and went to the utmost extent of shame
lessness, by falsely and recklessly
charging that he and his northern
friends were dough-faces, and mere tools
of the propagandists.
The election, however, being over,
and there being no especial occasion,
now, for misrepresentation, just listen
for a moment to the N. Y. Times - the
peculiar organ, and oracle of these vii
lifers! Speaking of Henry Winter
Davis, and the result of the election in
Maryland, it lets off as follows;
1.-The vote of the state at the recent
election, showed conclusively that Ma
ryland alone, of the southern states, has
emancipated herseJf from tie Mraldom of
the oligarchy which aspires to rule the
south. and through it the Union"
How insecure is the man who starts
out upon course of deception. By
constant vigilance, he may. for time,
preserve the consistency of his story !;
but the truth will, sooner OF later, be
discovered. Falsehood contains, in its
own nature, the elements of its destruc-
ton; and, some time or other, it is sure
to explode. Here we find the Times
unconsciously admitting a truth which
it has all along been most vigorously
denying-a truth which, had it been
known and recognised throughout the
North six months ago, would have strip
ped Fremont of almost his entire sup
port, and carried Mr. Fillmore trium-
phantly into the presidential chair
Throughout the entire canvass, this
same Times charged ae ain and again, in
every issue, that the American party
was the especial friend-or rather the
confidential seroant = of what it calls
the "oligarchy" of the South. Now,
however, it innocently lets the cat out
of the bag, by telling us that the state
of Maryland supported this same Amer
lean party, and thereby "showed con-
clusively that she has emancipated her
self from the thraldom F." of the same sol
igarchy."
And while these charges were being
made against us at the North, the dem
ocrats of the Soulh were all the while
calling us abolitionists These latter,
however, have long since admitted their
error, and are now in that very interest
ing and salutary frame of mind, called
penitence. 1t only wanted this admis-
sion of the republicans, to place us in
the right position, without any further
testimony. Most truly does the Ameri-
can party stand vindicated before the
country sustained by the dying de-
clarations of its opponents. Wonder if
the people will have more sense the
next time :! In the expressive language
of the great James Gordon, "we shall
