Fusion Between Brecki.syi,,re
and Lincoln. A Traitor ia The
Camp.

| >hsHPs
Such strange things happen NOWADAYS
that it is not expected for one to be star
tied AT any remarkable phenomenon, vet
we think it quite pardonable to have been
taken a little aghast by the last new phase
of political affairs, which the progress OF
the campaign has developed in all its hor-
rible and threatening form. The truth be-
fore dimly seen through the dust and con
fusion Of warfare, is now made to assume
the tangible demonstration of fact. Let
Union men, true Southern men, all those
who have a deep and abiding interest in
the preservation If our government intact,
and with it their own institutions and
rights, take warning. There is a most
dangerous enemy in our midst, openly pro-
Tossing the sincerestefriendship aud tend
crest regard for the rights of the people,
yet being found at the same time secretly
intriguing with our avCwed enemies. They
are in reality but wolves in Sleeps clothing
seeking TO catch the unwary.
A solemn league and covenant has been
entered into between the Breckenridge
party, and the Black Republican party,hn
agreement smelling Of the fumes of sui
phur, an enormous bargain and sale COM
plcte with fraud and corruption, in which
the Buchanan breckenridge Democracy
have through the instrumentality of the
Black Republicans sold themselves body
and soul to that notorious arch traitor and
father of scditlon. and for what consdrra-
ton! Merely that they might be permit
ted to gorge themselves around the flesh
pots of Egypt.
Is the language too sevrrcl let the
evidence speak for itself. Both parties are
working upon one and the same platform
of scctionalism. Both parties arow one
an@the same purpose Of disunion. James
buchanan has as We have seen used all
the wealth, power and influence, at Iii,
command, in the States Of Maine, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, to
elect the Republican ticket. The members
Of lis party in those STAGES openly and
above board done the same thing, both in
their official and individual capacity
" hich cannot be denied The members Of
his party in the Southern States leader.
and all others declare from Tie stump and
through The press, their preference for
Lincoln, acknowledging their sympathy |
with him, and the identity of their joint
designs. While the most notorious aholi- |
innists at the North recognizing this SYM
1atlry Of interests and identity of objects,
,roclaim from the rostrum with equal a.ac-
ity their preference for Rrcckinrdg". 50
great is the feeling Of sympathy between
he two parties, that they axe found bor-
owing one from the other caricaturc- and
notices for their torchli@ht professions.
\ Brccl,inrilre man declared TO lis 4
cw days since that the Breckenridge par
Y had carried Pennsylvania in the recent
State election, which at fist somewhat
Xcitcd cur rcsiLilities at his supposed
rcAulity, knowing that Tie Republican,
icket was successful by some 2Oo09 ma
ority, yet second thought convinced Us he
-as right, the success of Lincoln or Brock
lnlge is but one and the same thing, this
owcvcr was the first time We had heard
acknowledged by the party in this Vi
nifty.
With this startling testimony before IL,
ill the people oftho South ratify the cor
lpt bargain VIII the citizcns of Louis
INA suffer themselves to be cntrappcd !
'ur confidence in human nature, and the
rund practical sense Of the Southern pro-
lie assures us it will not be done.
