The Next Presidential Campaign--breaking Up Of Old Political Parties--whigs, Democrats And Liberty Men--the North And The South--slavery And Freedom--catalogue Of Northern Men, From Which Candidates For President And V. Preiident Should Be Selected

Mr. Poster, As the time is approaclifng when our politicil atmophere is to bo darkened with annther quadrennial storm, I ihink it is expcdient that ve prepare oursotres fortheonsot. A I ready, a I i tile cloud is scen lifting ilself above the horizon in the far South, whose low thundors indícate ft war oftho clemenls at hand. On the lnow of that cloud is written the nnmeof Znchacy Tnylor, the Whig, the waiTlor rml the slaveholJei! A naie i nd litios, ponending a dreadíul tornado in the country, and threatening to swrep ts eniiro surf.icc, from the fi.iy of Fasssmaquncldy to the Rio Grande, and i'rom the Reefs of Florida to Copper Ilarbor. According to his own word?, General Tavlor iiüends !ole the canrlidate of the peoplc, and not of a party; for he says he cannot suffer his name to be used aso presidential nominen by any parly or dique. Althongh claimcd by whigs and and democrats, he is unwillingto takethe name of either, choosing rather to belong to all partios orno party as occasion iiKiy require. It is sufficient for liim ío be known for the present as a plantalinn slave holder and a surerssful charnpkinof "the peeul ar instit'ition." [Ie cannnv boos', in tho lnnguage oftho great Missouri compromisos, and with no fear of contradhstion, of Inving done inore for the slave interest than iny other man in country. I ihirik Do ono will deny tha! his late dpstruction of Mexican abolitionists entitle hifn to the rank of Prince of his order. That al most the entire South, whigs and democrats, will concéntrate their strength upon ihis warrior-slaveliolder at the coming eleclion, scarcely ndtnit "fa doubt. Nor can it be doubted that the pre Bt body of Northern whig? are sbout prepand to offer their necks to the yoko of their Soiithern m-islers on that mompntous occasion. The South will go for Tavlor nnd the Northern whigs will go for him because they ove %' lic jafly" more than they hate slavery. It is barcly possible that somathing mny huppen befo re next spring to break the charm with wftieh our whig neighbors are now so manifesily chained to the ido!. Present appearances, however, indícate n reckles-ness of characler in the p&fiy leaders which seems 10 forbid.s'jch an expeeta'iort. It is evident that thpy dn pt intend io regard the party pledgp. of -il!, givpnby sone of Is leader?, never to p,"ort anotherslaveholdica'idate "this once." And their present n '..']! ivss to adopt the slave!. older's choice, is pvidence "strong as [loly W rit" that selfshness, not principie, ís to be ihe governing motive of our Northern whig neighbors in 1848. Si range as it is, afterall their prnting about Banks, TarifTs, Internat improvements, Land distnhuiion, Sl:.ivery &., our Northern whigs are ready and willing to t:ike the southern slave candidate, as presented by their dicta torn, without aking a queslion. Their only excue for so reckless an act, would sepm to bp, that Gen. T. is likely to be their only nvailable candidate - the last chance of the party, llercc, tlnv have prpttv much made up their minds to bovv down, once inore, under the whcels of the great Southern Juggernaut, in bopes thereby toconciliate the God of patronage ; and thus secu ro r few of the crumbs that may chance to fall towards them from their masters table during the next presidential lerm. They are ready to give np the party creed - ready to sell their birthrighi, for one mess of Poit.igo. Let them do so, if they must - hurnilialing as t will be. Let them sacrifico principie for patronnge, if they will - costly as they will find it. Let them lie down, "this once," on tlio altar of sl.ivvery: it will be their annihilation as a party. Their whig sun is evicientlv a bout to ser, to rie no more. All theii whig glory will.dcpart with their vote for slavery. Will the Nm-thern vh:gs m-iko the pacrifice demanded at their hands? Will they help tt extond slavery Io the tropic of Cáncer, for the selfish considerntion of a !ii:le patronage undcr their newfangled administration? "Teil it not in Gath; publish it not in the streets of Askelon." Such a doed will be afqul blot upon' ihe guüty actors, and will tnrnish the American name too dark to be brightened for generations to come. Tl. e Hou. Mr. Giddings, in his hile New Ilampshiro speech says, "Ifthe whigs Bucceed in electing a man opposed to tho Wilmot proviso, it will be a sale of the party Co? four years to ftome." - Again, "That those who opposethe extensión of slavery will tinall] triumph) is nssure as the exisier.ce of a God."- "ít is eqüfllly certain" he sny=, " thnt tlinpo who oppose ihe Wiltnot proviso musí, in 1852, il' not in 1848, be scntterpd to llie four viada of heaven; t':ey will bscomethe contcmpt of lioncst men, and the finger of scorn will bo poinlcd at thora." Who cannot soe that the amnlgamation whicli is about to take place belween the Nortnern whigs nnd tho slave power, will Le the closing up of old political partios? What wil] he the party rallying uords in a sunceeding presidential cnmpnign? Tho Bnnk ha long since heen pronounced "an obselete idoa," and the present acrnmulating proslavery, demoorstic war debt, will setlle the. queslion of Tnriffs,frfi tnade, intornnl improvements &c. for j'cars lo cuno. No party will Bver ilunk of sottling onr Mexicnm war deht by a direct tnx, Every body,whigs, demócrata and liberty men, will ngree to a Tariff which sliall produce a revpnue eqüai to t!ie emergence - a PnrifT which must salisfv the most uil ra protectionist, nnd every. body will sefe 'Int the Nni ional Tieasury cannot he louched for ordinary purposes. Whnt, then, will he the party rallying words, I again aak, after the amalgama:ed Northern whig, and Southern proslavery vote of 18481 I cannol teil: hut this I know - nnv cry nbout Ranks, Tarilis, Land Distiibution &c, after snoli a vote as mry Ije looked for in 1848, will fall uoon the ear like "sounding Lrass ora trinkliog cyrnbal," New parties are about to he erected on the rulos of the old. The conlest, afier the next presidential election, will ho bstwaen l)ia N nh &; thu S uili. The foundulion of a Southern party isalready in a stu:e of prpparation, under the guidnnce rif the tnleuied and able tacticioB, John C. Cnlho'in. the great South Carolina nullifie; who says, in a recent letter addressed toa whig convention of Gporgin. "The t me has come when ihe question must be met" - the question of slnve extensión. '-It can no longer lie ovoided; nor f' it cocld, would it be desirable. - The longer it is postponed, tfie more invetérate and dangerous will hecome the hostüe feel.ngs between the slaveholding and non ilavehqlding states. With union among oursclvps, we have noihing to fear - but without it every thing. Thf qupstion is far above the party queslions of the dny. lic who s not fjr us is ngrnnM ns." The north will nrise in her sirength afler the loaves and fishes of office havr be"n distributed by Gen. Taylnr; nnd buckling on the armoe of free'lom, wil] sny to the South, " thus far shalt thou go and no farther." Northern whigsanr d-mocmts and liberty men will then hail eacli olhcras brethren of one fimily. AH will be r.nxious for the preminenceonlv while proving their title tothp appcllntion of Northern men with Northern principies. In 1852, ifnot before, the great bntile will be fouglit between liberty and slavery; and, in the langu.ige airead y quotedas ndopted to the South, 1 will gay to tl'e North, "with union among ourselves we hnve noihing to fear, but without it, every thing." t.pt us prepare fnr the crisis which is m neai' al hand. Let the elements of n Northern pnrtybe seen approximating towards ench otl'er in 184, as a counterpoise to the grrat Southern league vvhirh Mr. Cnlhoun has so nearly fonsummnted. Whatshojld hinder the formation of an nnti-Southern party now, while the old whig and öemocratic parties are so obviourly tumbling from their foundations? The following isa catalogue of ñames from which candidates for President and Vice President might be sclected for such a party: - Joshua R. Gidding=. John P. Hale, Samuel Lewis, William H. Seward, Dr. Lemoynp, SilasVVright, Thomas Corwin, Gen. Fes=enden, John McLean, Preston King, Gerritt Smith. Geo. N. Briggs. A party (ormed with leaders thus selectpd, although it might be an infint in 1848, would become a g:ant in 1853. - Shall we meet our Southern opponents on their own ground? Shall we take up the glove which they have cast at our feet ? We shall probably do no such thing. But let Northern "dough faces" do as they may I shall remain, Ann Arbor, Aug. 20, 1847.
