of fair ability. and whilst United States Senator
manifested regard far tho obligations imposed upon
him BY the constitution, consequently did NOT join
in the cncruachments upon Southern institutions
For this VIC do ntN KNOW, that he any other nsan

and unless Mr.. Dickinson has an osiicc for every
politician in it. We are inclined 10 think that the re-
Cancellation will not prove very permanent.
We would have liked Tor c. c. y. To have "rc-
viewed" Mr. Dickinson, NC wish to know his
views upon that subject which Is now c,ici,,ng 10
much discussion-Squattcr Sovcrcignty-and upon
the subject Of slavery generally. We arc the more
anxious for this because the ALBANY J"srnaL the
black Republican organ Of New York. Recently
charged that "the Democratic party have laborrd
for fifteen years, increasingly for the extension Of
slavery"
To this the Albany Aryxs the Democratic organ
in New York. and presumed To know and reflect Mr.
Dickinsons sentiments. replied every addition &"

been thwarted in none. The annexation Of TcxaS

partition Of Oregon, the organization Of Nebraska

Such sentiments VIC do not think will meet with .
very hearty approval from c. c. y. or any other
Southern man.
C.C.N "bclievcs that the Old North State would
poll larger vote for Mr. Dickinson than any other
man in the Union" and thinks the effects Of his
nomination would be almost magical Hear him !:

But why does c. c. n. go North If Mason's and
Dixon's line for his candidate. The North has had
two Presidents in succession
Have VIC not men a. allie and A. worthy in srsry

Would 1.-THE Old North State poll larger vote far

It may be answered that these men arc not 50
arnilable as one from non->avcholdins State This
objection. We think has hut little if any weight in
it. II Democratic President j. elected II must bs
mainly by Southern votes. THIS no one will deny.
Is it right then for the North after having given us
two Presidents consccutvcly. to claim and for the
South to admit her claim to the third. Northern
Democrats ought to support . Southern man Is
cheerfnlly as Southern Democrats have Northern

entitled under the Constitution they will do it,
The battle Of 1850 is to be fought upon the question
Of slavery. and upon the question OF slavery alone
