THE Philadelphia National Argus. a
sterling Democratic paper, pays the follow
ing compliment 20 the North West and
candidate for the Presidential nomination.
Althoug not fully endorsing the sentiments
contained in the article we publish it.
knowing that it viii interest many of our
readers. Should Cen Lane receive the
nomination we feel confident he can roll
up tremendous vote in the North West.
Since the organization of our Govern
n1ent, tie Presidential chair has been for
forty-nine years Of the time filled by
Southerner, and twentv-three years only
by a Northerner. Consequently, the Nor
thern States now claim the nominee at
the Charleston Convention, and in certain
quarters are making great exertions for
Northeastern candidate, forgetting that
the West has never furnished but one
President, the lamonted Harrison, who
filed the chair only about four weeks ere
death cut him off. The great Northwest
has her claims, and will be heard and sup
ported by the South. The seven North
western States, at the next Presidential
election, will poll at least 10000 moro
votes than the fifteen Southern States.-
Hence, the South will simply ask for a
Statesman Of the old Jacksonian school
one, like "old Hickory" of great moral
courage sna Roman firmness, and such
ons as the North west can furnish in the
person ot .Ev. jog LANE, the Marion Of
the Mexican War;" the plain . farmer Of
Oregon;" aud it is now high time that we
look ilto realities. The Dem ocratic voters
all over our country are heartily tired of
tho show of pretended Douglas strength
made by designing politicians under great
promises of spoils, &C., and by Black Re-
publican newspapers, who desire his nonl-
ination, knowing the case of his defeat,
and the certainty of their own, should the
" Marion Of the Mexican War" be their
opponent.
The protection of the Constitutional
rights Of the South, as well as all the
States of the Union, depends much upon
the Democratic policy being carried out
and continued as heretofore. The great
trick of the Douglas party i. 10 represent
in the South that the Northern Dsmocra-
cy will be satisfied with no other man, aLd
in the North, that the South will consent
to the nomination Of no other Northerner.
Yet little reflection clearly discloses the
fact that the democratic voters ell over
the North are fully determined to uphold
no disorganizer, and to countenance no eff
fort to corrupt their party. And should
the South attempt to put upon them
candidate not we'll known as coming up to
the true democratic standard, and of great
moral worth and firmuess, good bye to
her future peace In the State of Penn
sylvania alone, not less than 25, 900 voters
in the Democratic ranks would throw up
their hands, and say to their Southern
brethren: ave have stood by youl we
have deserted our principles! you are at
tempting to demoralize US! you are laying
the foundation of endless troubles! we can
not help you! we regret your position
For our principles we gave the " Hero
Of the Battle of New Orleans" the "Tsn
nessee Farmer" fifty thousand majority
and for the same principles, can give the
same majority to the Marion of the Mex
lean War, the Oregon Farmer"
