The PTssIdency - The Democracy ahG
the Slavery Question.

In various manifestations we perceive that
the more nstute Of the managing politicians Of
the Northern Democracy are beginning to real
iZe the fact that the maintenance OF Southern
slavery for political purposes has become an
obsolete idea !" that, from this terrible war,
the institution has received such = shock
through all its vitals that 1t cannot survive
that The hope Of restoring it, with the restora-
ton of the Union, as q Democratic balance OF
power, is gomez that the public sentiment Of
the loyal States is drifting irresistibly along
with the current Of events TO universal emAn-
clpatlOnj and that, before the broken fragments
of the late democratic party can do anything,
as d natlouhl organization. they must be re-
lleyed of this incubus OF Southern slavery.
The Immediate and Rll-lmportant object In
view is the next Presidency, and 1t 10 morally
certain that, upon pro-slaVery platform, the
democracy against an anti-slaVery platform
will hardly obtain the vote Of u solitary State
participating In the election. Even In 1856,
with the solid vote OF the fifteen slave States,
the surcrss Of Buchanan turned upon bcanty
democratic majOrity secured In Pennsylvania
by lavish outlay OF money In her octoper
election.
since that day Buchnnans administration
and THIS Southern pro-slavery rebellion have
forever swept away that Northern conservatism
which rested upon the perpetuation OF this
Southern democratic balance OF power. II
needs no argument TO prove that this balance
ofpOWer has disappeared, the foundations upon
which II was established being oyerthroWn.
How, then, isf the Administration 10 be met
