T party South teem to have an a wiu uorrorr r rcrnont nd ms party, so aw ful an idea in fact, that they, with one accord, swear that, in the event of his election, they will not take office under him; which, consid ering the wonderful fondness for. pap wlrich the Democratic party pure have always ex hibited, exhibits a proof of their hostility to Fremont that cannot be questioned. When a pure and unadulterated Ldcofoco refuses to take office from any body, yoa may swear he don't lovp him. ; . Now, let us see in what consists the won derful difference jbetween the Buchanan and Fremont factions of the Democratic party. VVs say factions jofthe Democratic party for, if questioned, wej will trace the Fromont fac tion, step by step, back to the Herkimer and Buffalo Conventions of 1847 aud "48, and show it sprung from that stock. Will our Demo cratic friends demand our proof? , We repeat, that we will examine into the principles of the Fremont party,? which are so utterly abhorrent to the Locofocos South that they will not even take bfficeunder it. j ! The Fremont platform, stripped of the ver- biage by which it is surrounded, has two es pecial features, one of which declares the Black Republican party opposed to the1 extension of slaveiy. That party has always, in Conven- r f structi vV character. ' 'But here we meet them by asking what men in the United Slates, it the .worst stage3"of.Abolltion excitement, have ever been -worso Abolitionists than the two Van Burens, Dix, Cochrane. Rynders, Fowl- er or Hagan.'who are now, with all their ab- olilion retainers, out lor Buchanan. It may . : be said, as has been so often falsely said, that . these men jiave recanted-their aboiition here sies. LThis we de.-.V in toto, and diire tho Bu. chananites to produce ihe record of such re cantation. They cannot do it. There is, then, but one point jof dlSercnce- . remainlnini:, (so far as we can yidn from the -Fremont orators "and presses "North, -'aud from those -of Buchanan from tlit same region, or from the word of Mr. Breckenridgc as thev fell from his Own ip'') helvvren the Buchanan party and those of Fremont, and that is, that, (according to1 the Buchanan papers here) the . r reuiuni pariy are in invor oi restoring me -Missouri Corn promise.' To-morrow we will " show, first, that tho Fremontcrs don't want the 'Missouri (Compromise restored.' And se condly, we-will show what the Compromise was, and who made it, and endorsed it.

As Mr. Fillmore was opposed at the time to its disturbance, he has not changed his opinion that its repeal was an act of folly, but we are the aspect of the canvass is begining to change. The Democratic :partyr seems sliding away from the attitude it assumed, or was supposed to assme. at Cincinnati and we have serious misgivings as to whether the Southern Rights portio'n'of the community the non-office seek- 'ers and earnest men can hearlilyvrange them- seives on trie siae oi a ucKei. wnicn is commen cing lo'lool exceeding'y like a Bogus1 Affair.

Ifhat are the views of Mr. Brecken ridge ? Fortunately for us, we have from his own mouth authority on this point. At the recent Democratic celebration on the Tippecanoe battle ground, Mr. Breck enridge was one of the orators bf the day, and in presence ot the thousands of persons be fore him, said "that he was connected with 00 political organization which desired to ex tend slavery, ihese were his own words, a repor.ed in Forney's Pennsyivauian. Now, then, we ask, on the two new points of party faith, what difference is there between the Buchanan and; Fremont parties? Will our Buchanan exponents enlighten us on this point: for to take the promulgated faith of each par. ty, wecannot see a shadow of difference. certainty not one that should so far horrify our Locofoco friends, that they will refuse to take office under Fremont I But the Buchanan party may say that it is the composition oij me r re-mom party, anu me kpown abolition proclivities of its prominen J leaders, that give the Fremont party its de- A Nut for Old Line Whigs. We have once before published the subjoined extract from the Richmond Enquirer,1 but ff will not bo amiss to give it a second insertion in our columns. )Ve would, if we could, keep it con. stantly before the eves of Old Line Willis. More offensive langnage was certainly never addressed to free men: i "As some persons seem to have mistaken both the motive and object of our appeal to Old Line AVhigs, it is proper that we should acauit ' ourselves of the unjust accusations to which such misconstruction exposes ns. We invite no man of (Whig principles to join lhe Demo cratic, party. Such an overture would be os insulting to him as unjust to our party. A person with Whig convictions cannot, consist ently and honestly, profess to be of the Demo, c'atic party. A person with Whig convictions cannot be admitted into the Democratic organ ization without to some extent corrupting its integrity aiid debauching its principles. We have a Creed whYch constitutes a teat of Demo-, cracy, aud io which no Hhig can honestly sub scribe, because it is absolutely irreconcilable with the principles which he professes. We object to fusion because it is neither consistent with personal nor political honesty.' 4Ve in vite no Wiig to come into tho Democratic party unless he chooses voluntaril yand from cohvictionjto abjure h is auciem faith and to profess allegiance to our particular nlatfoim." i i .
