The question in controversy_ is simply that of Slavery.extension. Fremont is the candi date of the opponent; of Slavery-extension, and represents their princiPles. Buchanan is the candidate of the adyocates of Slaiery-ex-_ tension, and represents- their principles. The man who,,under such circumstances, decides that Fremont is .a secfifinal and Buchanan a national candidate, evidently considers Free dom ,as sectional and Slavery as national., - . We believe, on the contrary, that Slavery is a sectional institution, belonging exclusively, as has always been claimed till recently, to the States where it exists, and that; being a great wrong existing in violation Of the ler nal principles of justice, and also_ injurious to the country , in which it ,exists, it should be 'confined within the closest limits allowed by the Constjtution; nor do we believe that Sin ator Bigler coileetly represepts the principles of the people'of Penny/ wards, while uniform: ly speaking. and voting to sustain the aggres eions of Sievert, is he does, vn the Senate-of the United Staten. ` i , Xonitn“Deenoerat of Nny - 17, "Will-the administration, sustain Govern ['or Reeder?
