northern Fanatics ana southern Dough-
faces.
The Black Republicans have never been so bold
and insulting in their denusciatons Of slavery as
in the last canvass They publicly proclaimed their
hostility to southern institutions. They hurled
against the people Of the slave states every Oppro
brious epithet which their malice could suggest or
the vocabulary Of blsekguardism would supply.
They declared that they would curb the insolence
Of the slave poWer" they would humble SHE pride
Of the south" They flung their defiance in our
faces and isuntingly tsld Us that we were pOWe
TO resist heir insults and expressions Their ultra
and extreme sectional doctrines disguised the con-
sentative members Of the opposition al the North
But the opposition organs at the South are still |
their sp0logisis and advocates Such meu a.
cHOATE, and WMTHRor, and other able and hon |
ored members Of the old Wing psrty, are alarmed |
ct the reasonable objects which they avow, and
have acknowledged that the only hope Of the cOun
try is in the Democratic party. But the Doughface
OF The Southern opposition rejoice in their success
ana Vindioate their purposes and their principles
They boast Of the late Black Republican triumph
Is "grest victory" and express confident hope
that it viii result in good to the country.
The South has few friends 10 the northern states
but those few are firm and faithful even when he,
own sons falter, In the last contest the northern
Democracy went forth, Spartan band Of heroes
70 meet hostile host and to fell or conquer in de
fence Of the insulted and endangered South They
met our foes on every field where the black flag Of
abotioDism was displayed, and fought, as our fore
fathers fought in the cause Of the constitution epd
the country. While manfulIy resisting the assaults
nfn hc1st q,
are asssied in the rear by portion of the southern
Know Nothing leaders, who are faWning upon the
cODquerOrs In hope Of obtaining their favor and
pro ection. These DOughfsces are already bowng
their neeks tOdBsck Republican dominion. and the,
dare to persuade the Southern people to initiate
their apOstacy and make terms with the powerful
party which is preparing to subjugse and enslave
them. They are acting as emisssries and agents Of
their northern task masters. They are drumming
up recruits to enter their service They urge their
friends and followers to unite and CO operate with
the enemies and oppressOrs of our section and our
State. They would induce the freemen Of the south
to put on the Black Republican collar which has
been bound around their own neoks.
We have noticed how they apologize for any i'm
prudent expression of sentiment from their aboli
ton allies how they strive cover up and conceal
their extreme sectional opinions We have marked
their efforts to blind the South to the purposes OF
Der enemies. We have heard them argue that the
northern opposition is sound, national and cOnser.
Vative; We have heard them insisting that a party
led by such men as GREELEY, and sEwARD, and
WILSON, is patriotic and prsiseWOrihy Orgsniza-
tiOn. Perhaps the following extracts from the
Bqansr Of the 10Th inst. may sssist those who are
at loss to determine the reason for this policy:
WHAT'S DECIDED By THELATE ELEoTIoEs f-WithiD
the last two months elections have been held in 8
majority Of the EOrtherR States, aud the result is
now before US. A great battle has been fought and
signal victory won Mr. Buchanan, armed with
all the wealth Of the nation and surrounded by host
Of mercenares dared the people Of the United Slater
to combat They accepted the challenge and he has
fallen in the struggle
These were the Issues in the late elections. Mr.
Buchanan having expended nearly hundred mill
lions Of the peOplee money IN one year, having used
that M ney for advancing the interests of his PARTY
without 1eRard TO the welfare of the country; having
inerfered directly not only in the affairs Of KRnsas,
but also in The various ste elections; the people
have voted s'wRnt of conhdt nee" in him and thai
portion Of the Democratic parry which continues to
act with him They have succeeded in REGAIN ne
the power which, Of right belonging to them. would
never have been lost but for the dissens n among
themselves.
To show how this signal victory was won, on what
issues and by what agencies, read the following
tract from the Boston Post sound conservative
paper published in the midst Of the scenes which it
de cribes.
The verdict Of Massachusetts,, as rendered in the
late election cannot but be received with surprise
among e intelligent and patriotic Of other states
The facts in all their significance, should be looked
st full in the face The popular vote confirms and
endorses the widest and the most extraordinary
tonsl doctrines. The extreme men have triumpbed
while in the act Of srragning in the EXTREMIST man
ner at the bar of Massachusetts judgment the slave
holders Of the south. Look At the phIllipios Of Viii
son. Hale, Hsmlin, BurlinRsme, and indeed Of the
whole agitating crowd, and it will he teeu that they
hold up these Shareholders for public odium as an
oligarchy an sristocracy, as having bauds red with
the blood of their fellow men; and they say they
mean TO labor on and on until the sun shall rise on
no slavehoder-set on no slave. They shrink not
hack al iustltyipg their bJdes acs-the removal Of
LoriOg-the personal liberty bill indeed if there be
a poliIi5su in this commonwealth who deserves to
be called the father of this measure, il is Charles
Francis Adams, aud he is selected out and sent to
Congress All this Enforcement has this State done
IN the la election. There is use in looking st
hiDgs but they THE RESULT IS PRECISELY
WHAT Governor BANKS SAYS 1T IE, CONSOLIDATION
OF THE AMERICANS AND REPUBLICANS TO WAR ON
SLAVERY AsD The SHAREHOLDERS.

of the American and republican conventions against

On one point sl are agreed; that this is out

50 sure was Seward Of his ground, that ne issued
pronunciamento of so extraordinary character as /
