More Proof.

Let men of all parties in the South read
The proof is accommodating day by day, as the
canvass progresses, of the growing sympathy
between the partizans of Douglas in the
North and the Black Republicans. The Phil
adelphia Press edited by John w. Forney is
the leading organ and accredited mouth-piece
of the Squatter Sovereignty faction in Penn
sylvania, anG we may say the NEST potential
journal in the interest of that infamous and
corrupt organization. 1t openly advises
combination Of the Douglasites and Lincoln
ties to defeat the Democratic ticket-and
avows preference for the candidate of the
BLACK Republican destructives over John c.
Breckenridge the candidate of the National
Democracy.
AS additional testimony that this combina-
ton is in rapid process of formation, and that
the strongest sympathy unites the chiefs of
these two organizations, we would call the
especial attention of our readers to the fol-
lowing article from the Press of the 2lst inst,
endorsing the notorious Heiperite, John Sher-
man, the Black Republican nominee for Speak
er of the present House of Representatives.
The reader will not fail to observe how this
bad, bold abolitionist is extolled by the parti-
IAN OF Douglas, at the expense Of the South
ern members of Congress, and how he is COM
mended for making war upon the rights of the
South despite what Forney calls their endeav-
OTIS to silence him.
Now the question we desire to ask is, how
many voters are to be found in Mississippi
who are willing to aid and abet the Forney-
Sherman conspiracy against the slaveholding
States and for the destruction of that consti-
tuition which is the life and soul of the Union?
We do not indulge the language of idle boast
ing when we say that Mississippi will present
as few instances of detection from. the ranks
of the constitutional party, and accessions to
this miserable faction of traitors and conspi-
rators, as any other State in the Union.
But listen to what Douglas man-ofall-work,
John w. Forney, says of the Helperite Chief:
JOHN SHERMAN-We are not surprised
that the Republicans Of the Thirteenth (Ohio)
Congressional district have unanimously NOM
mated this gentleman for reelection. The
country is familiar with the events which
produced his defeat as the Republican candi-
date for Speaker of the present House of Rep
resentatives. No part of tie Southern 1oolicY
of the Administration is more disgracefM than
that which relates to the crusade spo,s mr.
Sherman. The threats of the fre-eaters in
the House, pending the organization of that
body, did more to fix Northern opinion against
them than any of their current proceedings
Mr.. Sherman is not, and never was an ul-
ira Republican He differs, in large degree,
from many of the prominent men in his par
ty. He is a conservative, and has always ta-
Ken ground IN tauor of the constitutional rights
his own organization who have resisted the
execution of the fugitive slave law.
We are not of Mr.. Sherman's party. We
differ from him on one fundamental issue, and
he knows it. But care glad to say there is
not in the ranks of the Republican party
man to be found more aeortsy of the continued
confidence of that organisation than John Shey-
man. He has courage, too. He can throw
back the taunt of the Southern gealot aciM as
much scorn as he asho hurl it,; and at mo-
ment when many were willing to vote the
money Of the public treasury for private pur-
poses. he stood forth nobly in support Of an
economical policy. It is not many months
since he went to New York, and in speech
to his Republican brethren pronounced hand.
some eaaogy in fauor of Douglas and has as
sociateg-thereby offending some of the pro-
scriptures Of his own political belief To his
infinite credit be it said that he is one of the
fairest and most fearless OF American states
men. We predict, if he chooses to bide his
time, and, to preserve the conservative atti-
tude he has assumed, and to prevent the Re-
publican party from running into rampant |
sectonalism, that no man will so certainly Sc |
cure the highest honors Of that party as John
