.TuR WHOLE Or NONE.o

There is one aspect of the present caavass winch
should be regarded with general and hearty salts
factiop-,bat of the complete surrender by the
Fwionsts of all pretense or aflectation OF resist
apce to any e1actons or sggressiops OF tbs Slave
Power. In ls4S, William Kelly and William
G.. Grain were most vociferous champions of the
prohibition by Congress Of Slavery in the Terrific
lies. They worked and shouted for Van Buren,
and Adams, Dix and Seth NJ. Gates, and held us
douehfaces who finally concluded that old lack
TAYLOR would do as much for Free Soil as Martin
Van Buren,. Now, William Kelly runs for Governor
AID William c. Grain for Lieutenant on the Dry
Goods Fusion ticket, with the hearty approval and
support of Charles O'Conor and Joshua j. Henry
Somebody has changed somehow-who and what
is it a Then John Van Buren,, John A. Dix, John
Cochrape, Wilson G Huot, &C., resolved, and re.
resolved and protested, that they would never,
never consent to the extension of Human Slavery
under the flag Of our Union. Now they call US
sectional" for acting as they talked, and glory 10
Stephen A Douglas, who " does not care whether
- Slavery is voted up or voted down" thinks it all
right wherever money can be made by IT, and
boasts that bis principle" hiss carried the
Slave lice westward to the Gulf OF Cali
fornia and north ward Que hundred miles further
than the shareholders even asked ten years ago.
How must these men feel, as they deposit their fu-
sion ballots and realize that they are voting them
selves demseogues, factionists and dsunionists,
only few years ago7 Then, there Dir. GreeneC.
Bronson, the model Hard Shell, who would not go
for Van Buren, in as because it was unnecessary.
For, said Mr. Bronson, Slavery cannot exist
"where there is no Law to authorize 1t. 1t Is not
necessary that it shoudb be forbidden; it is enough
that it is not specially authorized. If the owner
" of slaves removes with or sends them into any
" country State, or Territory where Slavery does
" not exist by law. they will from that moment be-
" come free men, and will have as good right to
" command the master as he will have to command
(" them State laws have no extra-territorla au-
thoriiy; aud law of Virginia, which makes
" man slave there, does not make him slave in
New York. nor beyond the Rocky Mountains.
II our Southern brethren wish TO
carry their slaves to Oregon, New-Niexico, or
California, they will be under the necessity of ask
a" ing law to warrant it; aud twill then bein time
L" for the Free States to resist the measure, as
" cannot doubt they oOaLd, WITH UNwAvERING
" FIRAINESS."
Well: the time foreseen by Mr.. Bronson has
cone: the South does demand ample legislative
protection TO slayehOdDg in the Territories, or as
Mr.. Breckenridge delicstely phrases it, The
" equal rights of the States in the Territories
That is, the equal right of the Alabama planter to
be protected there in the unmolested enjoyment of
his negro property with the free laborer of Illinois
to be prott cted there in the of his horse and
wagon: Mr. Breckenridge is a candidate for
President distinctly on that platform, and Greene
c. Bronson is the leading Breektnridge candidate
for Elector on the Fusion ticket "UNwAvERING
FIRMNEss," eh How John Van Buren, must
chuckle at the thought that here is at least one
Hupker as deep in the mud as he himself is in the
mire -
Yes, il is consoling Thought that if Slavery
wins this battle, through the money OF her Dry
Goods servitors she wins all There is no reserve
no pretense now Of seeing some point ahead at
which resistance is to be made if the North is
pushed further. If the Free States succumb now
they surrender at discretion, and cannot pretend
to claim the honors of war. They have said, and
resolved, and vOciferated, that they never would
consent to the extension of Slavery into territory
that came to us Free. The crisis has arrived:
The Slave Power says, "Crouch, you hounds !"
and the hounds crouch. They do not parley, nor
make conditions; they simply cover. Thank God,
there are not enough of them TO betray the North,
but they can and do shame her. She must yindi
cate herself.
In the Spring of 1854, this writer was urged to
address the first meeting ever held in this City to
protest against the passage of the Nebraska BILL He
declined for obvious reasons, and suggested that
men of reputed conserva tsm should be invited, in
stanciDg Mr.. Hiram Ketchum. Mr.. X. was &C
cordingly applied to- and the applicant brought
back this answer: Mr.. Ketchum says he will not
"speak at such a meeting-there is no need
of any such mteeting-Congress will never
" repeal the Missouri Compact-it might as well
"repeal the Constitution" Congress did repeal
the Compact, however, and now Mr.. Ketchum is
supporting an Electoral Ticket, a majority of
which sustain the responsible author OF that repeal
for President
Getting out Of railroad car about that inc in
the heart of Westchester County, leading Hard
Shell asked US: How about that Nebraska bill
Gin Congress ~" 1t will probably pass
Why" inquired Adamantine, Indignantly, " do
/" they think we will stand ererything up here at
4" the North 7" Now that Hard is going his length
for Douglas and Fusion.
Yes, Heaven be praised we have touched bot
tom at last II the North swallows the Fusion
dose, she is not cheated-she ssimply bulied. She
