THE PRO-sLAvERY PROGRAMME


THE PRO-sLAyERE PROGBAMNE.
Three State Conventions were held in 1o6O
by the various anti-Republican parties, who
finally combined all their strength on Fusion
Electoral Ticket which came within about Fifty
thousand Votes of an election. This year,
they hold but two Conventions to get their
ticket in the field, aud will probably be beaten
rather more than in go. They would fall be-
hind One Hundred Thousand but for the large
prepoDderance of Republicans and uncondl-
tonal War Democrats who are absent as
soldiers of the Union.
The Constitutional Union Convention, "
which met at Troy last Tuesday, to secure
good places on the Fusion ticket for certain
aspirants of its own faith, was body resPec'

into the Regency fold. Ii is not creditable, in
this era of light and knowledge, to be a Pro-
Slavery Democrat; but TO be one in act and
something different in pretension is to make
bad worse.
