Before another issue of our paper, the election will have come

Whether for weal or woe we eannot yet announce, but hope for the best. W have been bringing the matter before our

readers for many weeks. The subject has been pretty well discussed. And

©tying proviso that the votes must and shall be precisely as they dictate and direct. This is liberty of voting with a vengeance. We ask people to come out of this crowd of iron rulers, and vote according to tho dictates of their own consciences, in reference to the principles involved, and the man fixed upon as the representative of those principles. Thero are three candidates before the public for the Presidency. We have urged the claims of Col. Fremont, the Republican candidate, above all others, for several reasons. Not only is he eminently qualified, bat he possesses a firmness of character and purpose, superior to party drill and influence and by which he will be governed as the Executive without consideration of party policy, or the future Presidency.

Belonging to the old school of Whigs, as we do, knowing and believing their principles as we do, we aro utterly unable to conceive the possible idea of a true Whig voting for any other than John C. Fremont. In the platform on which he stands, we find a plank endorsed, no extension of slavery over free soil." We fiud no such words in other platforms— on the contrary, we find words which mean, and were intended to mean, the very opposite. Let all laws alone," is written on plank# of other platforms.— The meaning of which is, let the law by which the Missouri Compromise was repealed, and the bogus Kansas laws, alone. Let them alone, and Slavery goes into Kansas. ...

We pen these thoughts for old Whigs. One of the cardinal poiuts of Whig principles, established by Henry Clay himself, was, no extensiou of Slavery." We know what we are talking about wheu we speak of Whig principles. Let no one dare to question that point. No one will do it who can show a good reoord, and (air antecedents. ITe speak by the book in this matter. We an posted, lf there should be any wavering, let them examine whether the doub: of their minds is not created bv preju dice, or pride of pwoonceived opinion. An opinion formed too hastily ot perhaps under undue influences. Influences, which may be, would not for a mo nient stand the test of impartial scrutiny.

The day is last approaching. There is no time to be lost If any one has a doubt, as to duty, or as to a question of a satisfactory conscience in the future, let him inquire and nettle in his own mind, and then vote in accoi dance with couvic-

tlons formed upon the purity of unbiased knock out his brains Who bids for feelings, and all -will be right the job 1

EXTENSION OF SLAVERY. That the Republican party hare always correctly understood the true intent and meaning of the Repeal of the Missouri Compromise, no sensible man at this day will gainsay and that they have understood it precisely as the pro-Slavery party of the South understood it, the assertions of Northern Old Liners and their accessories, to the contrary, notwithstanding. That the object was to extend Slavery, admits of no denial. The Richmond Enquirer, a leading Buohanan -r of the South, long since said

The Democrats of the South in the present canvass cannot rely on the old rounds of defence and excuse for Slavery for they seek not merely to retain it where it is, but to extend it into regions where it is unknown.

In a more recent article on what the South gains by the Repeal, the same paper says, "Kansas would have been a free State if the Missouri restriction had not been repealed" but the Repeal "ojcns the Federal Domain to the FREE EXPANSION and DEVELOPMENT of Negro Slavery." Here we have it in a few

JBUCHANAW

On Tuesday next the great voice of the people is to be expressed through the bal-lot-box upon the momentous question of the Extension of Slavery. By the Repeal of the Missouri Compromise that is become the question before the people, and has convulsed this Union to its very centre. The terrible results which have followed the Repeal, were predicted before the Repeal was consummated but reckless politicians and demagogues heeded not the consequences, and rashly precipitated the evil upon the country. The President of the United States in sanctioning the Repeal, denoted it a "measure of freedom. |And such a "measure of freedom" it has turned out to be, when free white men, iu a free land, upon the federal domain are ostracised on account of their political sentimeuts—their property taken from them—their crops destroyed their houses burned—assassinated like fiends—those not murdered, driven away by the sword and the bayonet—-others not permitted to enter—but XEGROES admitted free and unmolested Did the patriots of the Revolution shed their blood for such a "measure of freedom as this

All the invectives of Old Liners hav« been -freely indulged in by Fillmore tntti tow ards the Fremonters, in thesa parts. The affiliation of Fillmore and Buchanites, in meetings, procession*, in feeling, mutual rejoicing over the Old Line success jit the late election, and the desire of Fillmore men that Indiana shall go for Buchanan, are amply sufficient to satisfy all reasonable minds. Those who are opposed to the

Compromise Repeal have no etifcourngement in the sentiments below, as published by a South Carolina Editor, who recently paid Mr. Fillmore a visit:

I have the satisfaction of being able to state on Mr. Fillmore's own authority, from his own lips, that he is against repealing the Nebraska-Kansas Act, or restoring the 'Missouri Compromise line, and is utterlv opposed to any further agitation of the slavery question, and for restoring harmony and giving permanent repose and peace to our now distracted country. He agreed, too with me that he and Buchanan at the North were fighting each ether's battle, and were waging common war against the common enemy that were seeking to posion our political. Eden with the serpent and destructive element of political freesoilism.

The Squatter Sovereign, Mr. Buchanan's organ on the Missouri border, in speaking of Lane and the settlers whom he has conducted to Kansas, says: ««We must 'fight the devil with fire'— scourge the country of Abolitionism, Free Soilism, and every other damnable ism that exists-—destroy their property, crops, and everv other article that would conduce to the support of any or every person who is known or suspected of acting, co-operating or sympathizing with Abolitionism.

In all the border counties of the two latter States, and iu other counties accessible by Railroad, the vote has beep enormously \n creased, aud the Old Line majorities largely augmented. The aggregate vote of the State has been swollen nearly fifty thousand since 1854. Much of this increase has been owing to the vote or transient labourers upon our public works, many of whom have not scrupled to commit the roost barefaced perjury to accomplish their design, and to rob your rights solemnly guarantied to you by the Constitution of your country

These spurious and illegal votes, by which Old Lineism has achieved a temporary triumph, are believed to reach near TWENTY THOUSAND iu number, and have been given by men whose names do not appear upon your tax lists, who contribute nothing to the great interests of the country and whofhave neither a habitation nor a name among you as citizens. So astounding is this fraud, so glaring this corruption, that the Republican party have resolved to contest the validity of the election of the Governor and the entire State Ticket before the ensuing Legisl* lure. *,

The returns in the office of the Secretary of State, so far as received, show the unprecedented fact, that in four-fifths of the State while the Republican vote has increased twelve thousand over their poll of 1854, the Old Line vote has been thus fraudulently in creased tioenty eight thousand over its aggre gate of that year. So in the Ninth and Eleventh Congressional Districts, where the vote has been ascertained.it has increased, in each, about six thousand, which would indicate that in.two years the population of the State has increased more than a quarter of a million! Every citizen knows that such is not, and cannot be the fact.

As to the question of constitutional power in the Government to aid in order to secure its construction, there is in my mind as little doubt cs of the power of Government to provide postal accommodations in time of peace or means for the transport of munitions and bodies of men in time of war. Entertaining no doubt as to the power and to the expediency of itn exercise, any change of the constitution in this connexion is unnecessary until this great National work can be consummated.
