With a platlonn or without a platform, no section of the Republic would fear Mr. Flll toore admuii-trstion, far every. section ha ob served hi antecedent and knows that he wou.d deal equal and exact justice in constitutional bal auces. And such a character among patriotic conservative men. un, some of whom hate tle fugiuve slave law with, perfect hatred, and oth--er if wlioui love the institution with more than lal and interested love ha brought about the circumstance of thi uew party's nomiuatiag a lelerof one of the old parties for it caudidate 4or the Presidency.

But n ; they persist in their assaults upon the A merican candidates and their very zeal - in do faming and misrepresenting them proves that they fear them And well they may for, not withstanding the absurd estimates which have . ten made by the New York Herald, D1 i .where, a to the probable result of the apprcocfa ing Prenidentiai elcctioo the American party ' anticipate the uccex of their candidates with confidence. They believe that there ia sufficient .American' spirit; abroad in the land, to prevent ;the general government from being placed in the Jaud of disunioriist, or of a foreign faction ami io that spirit tbejr appeal. They think that tley cannot be mistaken in supposing, that the A xuerican people will desire to rule themselves, in re foresee to being 'ruled by foreigners, who Lave no sjwpaiby with them or their institu tion, and who seek for power that they may be safe in plunder. Whoever may be the nominee of the Cincin nati Convention, he will find that he has some thing more to do than simply to walk over the track ; for it cannot be, that members of the A nerican party, who constitute a majority of the v.cr ofth couutry, will bnseiy betray or i bandon their candidates, because every one can not be gratified in his peculiar notions.

CW wfftn, the Detnat Free Press, cx- pttaef its" indignalin nt the vh-a that slaven n"g into Te-ribry unless iiivitwl y positivi lw, and protests, thut no Democrat, North, and very Yew, if any. South, hold any such heresy a tlut. According tuita authority tbe party in both sections of the l-'uion hare agreed to stand on the .ltf.ru') T of popular sovereignty, which i. the Caas phrase fur squatter sovereignty. Tbe Free Pre intimate that there ia a potrtJ ve and formal compart of this sort, and declares that it would be uuj.rai!ilVI bad faith in tbe Sutheru wing of tbe party to fail to abide by that com pact. We-wMiId like to k now something more about this "holy alliance" between Northern and Southern Democracy. ' Wlun and where was it entered into ? Who. were the. parties negotia ting. sd ly what; authority did they undertake to binI Ujc" masMd f the parry in the S.uth to a dictrir.e as iinhfonsiblc in principle and as l.ingenns in practice as the Wilntot Proviso?" What Arnold has thnn betrayed ami sold the South? The Free- Press 'owes it to truth and patriotism to be Ukwe distinct. We well kuev that the Northern Democracy were ntten to the very core on this subject of uattcr sovereignty bat we did not know th.it Southern men hnd i fiend so recreant to principle, so perfidious and disloyal, as tocounteuunce this " most mou strtMis drtrine." Dt the people of the South know what this squatter sovereignty i-s and wluit are it object-? Do tlvey know that it is dis guised and skulking freealism that it is the mtwt dangeron, becauHO tbe most puuwUle, scheme yet invented by the ruuniug br;iin of Yankee ptjjticians, to cheat them of their rights, and chouse them of tlteir cjality t Do they know that it is bv fastening it on the KoWaska bill that that liw is accepted anl approved by Northern Democrats aa "a measure in lehalf of freshm ?" Have tley forgttten President "ierce'a declaration, that by virtue of a squatter sovereignty we should have no more slave States, though we might acquire the whole of Mexico aud that of Ccu. Shield's, that squatter sover eignty would carry free-soil down" to the very Isthmus ? And is it into such a compact as this tint Southern Icmocrat have entered with N ortheru free-soilers ! We have shoivn by re pratitl citations from tlie organs of the Nrth wssteru iVuiocracy, the proceedings of their pub lic meetings, the declarations of their most influ ential statesmen, and the lauguage of their jour nals, that t-quatter sovereignty is the primary and principal article iu their pc.litical faith aud that it is so because they regard it the most potent means of advancing free-siilisni, and crushing out the exjnsion of Southern institutions. We re-produce an extract, now, (the material parts of which we gave in a former issue,) from the Baltimore Aniericau, to prove that in New Hampshire, among the "Granite Democracy," it is tlw very same thing : " The contest which has just ended in New Hampshire presented some features not usual in State elections. (Jen. lierce's chances of reno minatioti were viewed as depending in an impor tant decree upm reversing the decision of the previous year, which place.1 his owii State in the anti-Admiuistration line, ana again Dnnging it lck to the fold bf political Democracy. The ctfort," though made with an earnest persever ance that omitted no effort of party manu-uvre, was not alU'githe successful, and New Hamp shire still disowns her son and refuses to him her support The most curious feature of the struggle is showu by the National Iutelligencer, in the fact that the Democracy, in their eager ness to win back the State, betrayed all " the national issues," of wntch in the South they claim especial guardianship, and supported the Nebraska bi'.l not as a national measure calcula ted to secure to both sections their rights in the territories, but as a measure of freedom' winch if its legitimate effect will prevent hereafter the creation of a single slave tate. We have not tbe space to reproduce all the extracts from the ' press and speakers who supported the Dcmocra t I cy, given by the Intelligencer, but quite suffici-e-1 ent to show that the party in New Hampshire is aa thoroughly abolitiouized as even Mr. Greely would desire, the only question between them and their Republican opponents being as to whrtlke? iikg Jiansas Nebraska bill is or is not a n.- isure of freedom. - i.e Portsmouth Evening Gazette, a Democra tic paper, with the names of the Candidates of tlj party at its head, on the 1 1th iust., is deyot ed to asvoopsjs of a speech just previously de livered by the Hon, C. L. Woodbury, and a glowing encomium upon ' the lucidity of style and sever logic' which he used in showing the prospect of free U-rritory wherever it was open to the cmipetition of free and sUVe labor. The editor then, for himself, say "We may remind our readers that the extreme Southern men opposed the Kansas and Ne braska 1 ill because they foresaw that it inevita ble operation would insure tbe admission of those Territories as free States.' The Hon. Jere Cle mens, one of the most ardent friends of the 'pe culiar institution,' took stroug and impregnable ground, for this very reason, against the bill, de nounced it as being the cat under the meal, and warned his allies agaiust its adoption. An empty concesKsion was made to the South, but all result ing of real advantage would accrue to the non slavehohjUng States. His prediction is becoming history. 'Kansas, when admitted, will be ad mitted as a free State,' not from the preponder ance of Sharp's rifles, but from the superior en ergy, industry and economy of the Northern over the Soutliern character-" The Soutliern Democracy cennot fail to ap preciate the compliment bestowed upon them in tlte concluding portion of the above extract. Th Coo Democrat argues that it is unnecessary fr the Republicans to oppose the extension of slavery, becar.se ' the people who will settle the territories will prevent them by doing it them fice.' As to Kansas, it says : "If Kansas, with ail the efforts which have Iieen made by tlie. pro-slaveryists, with h1 the id vantages of the adjiiuing States of Missouri, .'ill of slaves and wild with fear that the estab lishment of freedom in Kansas will be fatal to slavery in "Missouri, if, with all these adventiti ous circumstances, KanMi is still to be free, what tlanger is there that any Territory will here after ask to be received into the Union with slavery ? Tlierc is none. " And llitfrffore there is no need bf an Aboli tion or a llepubJbjn party to prevent slavery extension. Let the people ah--, and they will iu every ca e. prevent its extension of -their own five will and accord.-All that w necessary is to maiiitulu tleir right to decile this question, 'the lV-mocratic doctrine of popular soyemgnty, and VPU ill have no moro stay prates, not one." - The same paper quotes from a speech ff the j lion. II. H bhani, one of the most active sup- . porters of the Kansas-Nebraska bi'l, show- tng tne result lie anticipated irom that mea- ,i : - ': . .; i ":VX; Mr. niblard !iscuted the State Issues pce ented iu thi campaigu with his usual ability. He then 'tsk up the la very question and dis cussed it in slLits ever-varyiug phases, and in a manner which could not fail to carry conviction of the sincerity of the sieakor, and with an ar ray of facts, logical arguments, and sound common-sense views, that could not fail to convince fair minded . persons present, all whose minds were capable .of receiving aud appreciating the truth, that the act of (he President and the De mocratic n&rtr were hist, and that onr cresent jKMition upon the slavery question, the leaving. the whole matter with the people, is undeniably correct, the only just, fair and proper mode of settlement, ",and that .by that manner pi treat ing the question it is rendered almost certain that not a rood of slave territory will hereafter snplv for admission into the union. -We com mend this speech Jto the people of Dal ton. Thev may look at it every way, view it : from every point of sight, and they mil bo the better satis- lied of its truth and cindor. i I lie meeting was entirrly satisfactory to the'Democracy of Dal ton, and after hesitating somewhat on account of the failures of the two last years, we have eoh eluded t set Dalton" down as reliable for a Democratic representative on the 1 1th, and a fair Democratic maiontv on the State ticket.' It is not alone in New Hampshire that the iVraocracy have justified the Kansas-Nebraska I 'ill as a measure that is destined to permanently check t ha extrusion of slavery, In.IIIipois the same view has been frequently advanced by the prominent oracles of the party, and throughout the North and Wet, even where, not so1 openly avowed, there is an evident .willingness to en courago the impression as an efficient means of satisfying the anti-slavery prejudices of pie. j the peo- JEFFERSON ON THE FOREIGN !' MEXT." "EUE- We publish, for the edification of our readers, the subjoined extract from Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, pages 117 and 118. Comment is un- I necessary : -. j "Civil gi vernment being the sole object of for , ming societies, its administration must be con -j ducted by common consent. Every species of j government has specific principles. Ours, per j haps, are more peculiar than those of any other j in the universe. j "It is a composition of the freest principles of the Euglish Constitution, with others jderived from natural right and natural reason. To these nothing caA be more opposed than the jraaxims of monarchies. Yet, from such we are to expect the geatfstj number of emigrants. They will bring with them the principles of the govern ments they leave, imbibed in their early youth ; or, if able to throw them off, it will lie in ex change for unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of tomperato liberty. "These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children., In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the leg islation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and biasit directions, and render it a het erogeneous, incoherent, distracted massj I may appeal b experience, during the present contest, for a verification of these conjectures." ; te& The appointment by President Fierce of a professional gambler as United Stntea Marshal for the Northern District of California has crea ted considerable excitement among the citizens of that State: J. T. McDuflie, the person who has been choseu to fill this responsible office, was for a long time one tif the proprietors ofa nc toriou8 gambling salbou known in California as the El IWado. , It, can scanely le'uppc Bed that the principal 'member of a firm engaged in a profession of this description led a very m ml life, or enjoyed, to a very great extent, the -teein of Ids fellow-citizens. On the breakirtg up of the gambling houses by stringent legislative enactmeuts, McDuffie became a politician, and was elected to the Legislature on the Democrat ic ticket. - The "Philadelphia North American" relates the following circumstances in con nection with his present appointment : "The post of United States Marshal, which he has been appointed to fill, became vacant through the imrrder of Genera! Richardson by Charles Cora, a gambler, who frequented McDufliie's sa loon. The woman Belle Cora was a dashing, successful female gambler at the El Dorado. It was about her presence in the box with Mrs. Richardson that the quarrel arse, which ended in the nrurder. The sister of this Belle Cora lived with McDuffie. It is rather a strange co incidence, under these circumstances, that Mc Duflie should have been appointed to fill Richardson's place. McPuffie's partner,. Van Reui, is said to have been busy in hunting up evidence to clear Cora. Colonel John BL Weller, UT S. Senator from California, appears to have been McDufliie's chief advocate for the appoint-. roent of U. S. Marshal, and it is alleged that. when tome person remonstrated with President Pierce on the character of the man, he replied that he hail promised Col. Weller to appoint him, and must keep his word. There may be error or exaggeration in some of these statements, and hence we do not vouch for any of them. But the case seems plain enough that McDuffie is, or was, a notorious gambler, and therefore ia unlit for the position to which the President has ap pointed him." , j Extra Session. The Richmond Whig says it is understood that the Governor of Virginia will convene the .Legislature, in November next, to complete, the mass of business left unfinished in the two Houses. - j - . ; "Americas Banner."

Thi' is the same Mrj Kerr who, iu the summer of 1852, went through Eas tern Carolina delivering eloquent speeches oh his journey, lauding Whiggery and its champions to the verv sky, and dragging down Democracy to a woeful and most uninteresting dead level, f The chief burden nf his song, tliPn, was the exalted patriotism, the; comprehensive ability, and the high character of Mr. Fillmore: he fairly rung the changes on the entire gamut of praise, aiii Fillmbrc's name ami. yirhjifS-. gouuded at every note. Mr. Kerr had spoken ;aV several pleccf before Gen. Scott was nominated,'" and Counting certahi'y upon: the re-nomin-nion of Mrj Fill-; more, he devoterl a . cohsidet9le l.part: qfi each speech in pronouncing a high-wrought and; elab orate eulogiuni upou hiin. Tliere. was no lan guage, then, too intense, with which to express his great appreciation-of the man ; but now how stands the ; case ? Why ! after expressing his purpose to stnid by and support in . the next election Douglas, Pierce, Buchanan, or any other (what he termed !) national democrat who may be nominated ; after haying poured out the vials of his mighty wrath upou poor unf rtjnnate "Sam :" after haying smashed Americanism gen erally into-a lamentable "cocked-hat." afta hat ing misstated the principles" of the American party, be made one of the niost astonishing, and, if it Idd Uen original with him, one of the most singu!:;rly novel and ridiculous charges against Mr. Filiuior" t hat the history of any campaign fu'rnisljos. lie said substantiilly, if he is correct ly r'pirtetl, that this self-stvled American party, professing to war agaiust Romabism had select ed for their candidate a'inau, who at the.ery time of fas nomination teas dancing attendance vpon the l'op of Rome. Now this is what; be is reported to have said We ask tis there a fair minded and intelligent man' in" the Statp who really believes it. It is too monstrous for ordin ary credulity it' is too diametrically opposed to the whole tenor of Mr. Fillmore's life !. Diies not every reailer of newspapers know tliat for several months past he has been travelling In Eurjrie aa a private American citizen a .right- he was emi- neutly entitled, to as well as.orhers-that jwith- out ostentation or parade of any kind he has quietly visited the various capitals of Europe for the purpose ot enlarging his means ot intjma tiou ainl ybservatioH, an(l gratifying his fondness for travel that the foreign correspondents nave uniformly' spoken- of t-he republican simplicity which marked his pilgrimagethat he even vis ited cities without its being known, until afterhis departure, that an Ex-President' of oiir great Re public had been among them, so unpretending was his demeanor." Amongsj other renwued placc!5,lia "visited Iimo," and pray, Mr J Kerf., what intelligent America ;; toing to the MedibTr ranean, faus to visit -the; Eternal lCity,J j 'the Kiobe of nations, childless and crownless, in her voiceless woe F - Is ther.TQpny especial harm iii a private citi2en beholding a ciiy. the "lone ino-: ther'W dejid empires," and hoary wth. antiijuity, ITEJfS"Or,STATE INTELLIGENCE. t- city, too, iafinifely more interesting ufin n upersio an Amencan.T :Eren.aemocratic air. Kerr we dare affirm, would condescend to give the benighted of iat famed1' city, Pope Pins the IX included,' the light :of Jhis refulgent counte nance, if he were on ' continental tbor. We wonder if his peanng would be as unpretending as Mr. Fillnipre's, especially, if Lis prestige were equal to that of the ''Model President ?" We rather suspect he vould let' "folks" 4 know he "was thar." " " : r .:-'" ';. - , " Dancing attendance I ' Does Mr. Kerr himself sincerely believe this? If he does, then his bump 61 credulity is marvelleusly well jieveloped-'-de-yeloped; we fiiin would-, trust, beyond that of any man hi. the.State, If he ds.not,can ne'teoon- cice his brinuinar such charares with his ideas Df propriety? Whether he cretlits itw not te mtst, e should think, feel some passing twinge, wRen the heat of debate has passed away, in thus alliiding so unkindly and ungenerously to his jormer cnoice tor rresirtent--theiman of his heart, whom he so lavishly praised a man. mire and incorruptible, who nas done nothing under Hea ven to forfeit ui tile least degree that honest re gard and that praiso : for he is inlall respects the safoe Mr. Fillmore now that lie was then. -Wc repeat, he has performed no act since that should alter or impair that regard and that does wt re dound to his Listing henor ; anil yet,, wonderful as it may secmMr, Kerr not only alkuidons and renounces, him, Jbtjt lends his voice rather in - de tracting fronihisJiigb merit, and m casting upon him that derision that pursues inconsistency and folly. .'Mr; Fillmore is a firm and decided Whiz bday, asTany body knows. Franklin Pierce and hii coadjutors are not, yet iff," Kerr declares.hTs de termination to support the .latter in preference. anrl that too in the very teeth of his written de claration fast summer, (if we remember 'correct- lyj mat he meant. to uvea Whig and die a Whig, or something to that effect. Daacing attendance I Alas I alas ! How fickle is man. and how uncharitable are some politicians. 'or. our part, we must regard this unfounded ac cusation, if deliberately made, as extremely re- prenensiule. It, is a ning not worthy of the wonted magnanimity and position of .Mr. Kerr. We hope it was thrown off in the mere excite ment of the moment, and that when sober Tea- cm had resumed her full sway, the injustice he has unintentionally done Mr. Fillmore was as apparent to him as it was manifest to the audi ence at the time of its delivery. Those "small beer" politicians who fatten on vice and slander, in making their appeals to the prejudice and ig norance of mankind and they do this with all the solemnity and pathos of an expiring mutton may make such charges, but surely . a gentleman of Mr, Kerr's chivalrous bearing and generous impulses cannot consistently do it. Wise has set an example i in his reeking filthy "ebo-skin, gizzard foot letter," that we trust no man in North Carolma'will ever emulate. We certainly, have no idea that Mr. Kerr will. This is, we hwpe, purely sui generis the taste and inclina tion of his billingsgate Excellency are so utterly depraved, that he battens with unction upon the garbage of detraction and abuse. - In thus asailing .Mr. Fillmore, we believe Mr. Kerr has done extremely wrong. If he chooses, let him speechify to his heart's content let him oppose Mr. Fillnidre; no one will career object- let him be hail felkiw, if it is congenial, with his former nialignersbut let him not, for Heaven's sake, use his fine powers in aiding in the least de gree the efforts of an unscrupulous and envenomed press to cry down and ridicule a patriot and a gentlcnian. If he again repeats' the charge in the face of well-known, facts, he may expect stern censure from a just though indignant pub lic. There may be a few persons uncharitable enough to declare that the javelin he throws, though' poisonous", will fail of its mark, because the hand that directs it will be unsteady and power less from the agitation of disappointed political aspiration. e are notrof tliat number, for we find much in Mr. Kerr- that we still admire. . . . . -V JUSTICE. . 1 Emil.
