Every politica] movement at ihe South poinís lo a singlo resu't - :lhe speed} erasion of all oíd partf linos, and a rnerging of all part i es in one new parly for ihe prrpagaüon nnJ extensión of human slavery. ScarcHv u Southern paper comes to ourtnble, whicli does not give unmistaknble indic-'tions of such n temlency. - We hst iveek g:ivo an extract Drom the leading Texas Democratie pnper in favor of this course. Here is another froii) the Columbas (MitsssippiJ Wiig: - We bolieve Gen.

We would like to know if the views of ihe Southern demócrata i eially, will ?o (ora Northern man against the noble, the jiatnotic and honest old Hero. And ye', in view of these th'iusand indications,imios-!Íhle to be mistaken, Northern Whigs and Northern Derritierais, nstea'1 of casiing about to see if ihere is not some cfinunon ground u;ion which llie free North can act t"gptr.er tbr freedom, are ta.-king all their ingcnuily lo gpl rid, in some way, of the issue wbich the slive-liolders pre ent.

Abolition was once laiighed ai, and ]diculed,asone ofthe sproutsof Massachueetts fanaticism. Then it miglit liave been fo.jlisli to have honored t wiih botiee ; bnt any observer must have i-een wiili what nstonishing rapidiiy liie s eds of this deletenous weed have been scaitered throughout the entire territory of the Norih; for now tlie man is denounced as a trait'ir, rjpöspective of party, whodoes not comR up to the f.ill siiiit ond letter of ihe Wilinot Proviso. Southern stntesmen, huw stand yei Doyoustül intend to fraiprnize wilh those who denounce yonr institutjon, trani)lü upon your 'rights, andlaugh it you wlin you sie;ik of ll'.e Cuiistiiution ?

We cali upon Southern statesmen and Southern eJitors to take mmediate stpps for conoiried aciion. L"t the propowlion coaie froin some of our leading stitesmen ; let those who have in by-gone days bucUled on their armor, again come up to the demanda of duty ; let thein lay asido for a linie their personal schomes of amliition and nggrandizement, lor the weal'iftheir country, and the evil may be averted. Let us have a thorough organization ; let there be concert of action, as of unanirnity of opinión ; ar.d then, f we fail, 'he deplorable resulis cannot be charged to our account.

From 'the same. f We hope and trust ihat tho people of neither of tb" two grent politica! parlies iii the South will consent to hold comtnunion wi;h their fellow-pariisans of ihe Norih, in n deliberaiive nssembly, for the purpi?e of nominating cnndidntes for tlie Prêiclency, without uch Convention diííBowi in tolo tlie Wilinot Proviso ond every kindred mensurr. Alrcady are the Southern people too niuch enfeebled by party strile ; tliey do not- and we are sorry to say il - present an undivided l'ronl to the enemies of our common rightH. Tbc recrpancy of Benlon is ihe first, but will probably not be the last, vV.pnc-f of t'ie no'.vrr of party fac'.ion to divide nnd therpfore to wenken us 'm j ourslrnggle in del'ence of our right; and wfi av it is higli time ilmt mere party quelions shnuld be dwpped for thu present, and that men f ilie South, of botli porties, sliouM uni'e n the qm-stion (il mQst importante tn us.

Bui as u fraternizmg with VVilmot Proviso men, nucí sustaiiiing a W'ilinot Proviso candidate, such madnrss isnot (o be thought of.
