An-Editor's Record--What the Editor of the Plain Dealer Thought in 1848. The subjoined extracts are from an edi torial' article which appeared in the Cleve land Plain Dealer of November 23d, 1 848. The article itself, of which these are but "bricks from the building," was one of the most elaborate, careful, and serious that ev er appeared in the columns of that paper; expressing so tar as one might judge, the sincere opinions or uie -eaitor, it no ever uttered anything in sincerity. The Presidential election had then just closed in the triumphant success of Gen. Taylor. Throughout that campaign the Plain Dealer had been the. foremost ad vocate of Gen. Cass in this part of Ohio; Lad been as unscrupulous, or nearly so, as it is now; had been as ready to put for ward or to suppress; to affirm or deny ; to praise ft party friend ia- superlatives, or stigmatize an opponent with opprobious terms, as any other newspaper. But the election was over, and the edi tor, released from the obligation to do whatever the party emergency required, breathed freer. No post office or public rinting flitted before his vision ; and he could afford, therefore, for once in his life, to indulge in rare luxury of free and truth ful utterance. His readers, it is true, were astonished at finding that their oracle was after all an abolitionist in disguise, and an ultra one at that; staking the Union itself upon his fixed ultimatum of "no extenhon of slavery one inch beyond its present lim its? Most clearly did he see the design of tbe bouth at that time, and none so bold as he to expose, or so resolute to resist them. He talked of the Union being rent asunder, with as much nonchalance as he would have felt in chronicling the mishap of a morning in the street, under the head of "Locol Items." Some of us, who had long seen" the need of watching and resisting the encroachments of the slave power, were rather starUe4 at the bold rhapsodies of t the flam Dealer agaiust slavery. We Lad not been accustomed to treat the Un ion with so much flippant levity; nor to state, even m our own mind, the contin gencies in which it ought to be dissolved. No such scruples troubled the outspoken eoiter or tne I'Lain Dealer. He was de termined to call a spade, a spade, let what would come of it. His bitterness towards the South was as unmitigated as Garrison's. He was almost ready to pronounce the Constitution "a covenant with death and a league with helL" But to the extracts the entire article is too long for onr limits. 1. The. editor having had "tar and feathers'' intimated to him by some persons writing from Georgia, waxes wrathy, and appeals to the people of the North: From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Nor. 23, 1848. "There you have it, Democrats of the North l Yon who work for your living, and who favor free soil, free speech and free labor as essential safeguards to your rights. You who refuse to surrender that vast new territory to the selfish nabobs of the South, where they can pJantslavery to thedestruc tion of yonr own white labor; presume not to show .yourselves in the Democratic State of Georgia, lest like ourhuinble self, you too, are helped to a coal of tar and feallwrs. If you people of the North suppose that slavery is not going to curse every land purchased by the money, or conquered by the arms of the republic, 'you reckon with out your Host: 'ibis is the language or me oouin, without distinction of party. What say you, free laborers of the North ! Are you m our present and future acqui sitions of territory, going to let the nabobs of the South monopolize the soil with their large plantations, and compel you not only to compete with their wealth, but degrade yourselves to the level of their slaves, by competing with slave labor f As men you are already excluded from the Southern States. You cannot labor there and main tain your dignity as men. Labor ir dis graceful there, and the Southen aristocracy are determined to make it so everywhere. Give them the power and they will do- it Give them more territory devoted to sla very, and they will do it. Acknowledge that under the constitution and laws of na tions, they have right to take their pro perty (slaves) into a free territory, and they will soon have New Mexico and California cut up into slave States, and we, the free' States of die North, will be mere appen dages to an aristocratic slave government. IL He charges the defeat of Cass upon a prayer which he made while a minister thereupon he threatens disunion calls the patriotic institution damnable, and curses all compromises: From the Cleveland Plain Dealer of sane date. It was no doubt the prayer of Gen. Cass written while minister to France, and "long before he was talked of for the Presidency, in I and which had been a standing charge againsi mm m tne south Uioughout this campaign, which has defeated him. Here it is, as it is copied from Southern papers : 3Tul AM NO SL A VEHOLDE K I NEVER HAVE BEEN I NEVER SHALL BE. I deprecate its existence in principle, and pray lor its abolition every where, where this can be effected peaceably ana easily ior ooin parties. It was no doubt this treasonable sen timent, so offensive to the self-respect" of the south which has defeated him. So mote it be ! If the converse of this sen timent be the ultimatum of the South, about which there can be "no compromise," aoa be praised 1 in a case so clear, m cause so just, we love to fight, and rather than see slavery extend one inch beyond its present limits, we would rather see this Union rent asunder, dearly as we do now and ever have cherished it. If the politi cal union of these states is only to be pre- serveu oy ourying our consciences and i ,i i . . Vi . .1 . .. . yieiuing assent to the aoctnne mat "slave ry is no evil" and after submitting to such moral degradation, to be told that the gov ernment, in order to be safely administer ed on such a principle, must constantly be kept in Southern hands; if under our own constitution we have got to give slavery and slave labor the same footin.fr on free soil with freedom and free labor, and run a tilt over the w orld or wherever our territo rial acquisitions may be, with this damna ble institution; then better that the tie of the confederation be broken than submit to such dishonorable terms. No. Dear as this Union is to us, and fervently as we desire that time, wliile it crumbles the false foundations of other governments, may add stability and glory to ours; yet rather, far rather, would we see it resolve into its original elements to-morrow, than that its duration should by maintained on princi ples so fatal to public virtue and political freedom. We warn the South against this mad scheme of extending slavery into ter ritory now free. The North will not sub mit to it. The bounds of slave territory in this Republic are fixed! Justice and hu manity have-demanded it, and the popular will has decreed it. As says Senator Da vis, so say we; lot there be "no compro mise" on this subject. Consistency quotha ! Our neighbor is consistent ; who dares affirm the contrary f Conristrncr slffl is a part of his plan, He is trw to OKI party, and that is himself," But what are we to think of his savage attacks upon those who dare think now as he thought eight years ago, and to express such opinions with something like moder ation ? "Myers," "he says, "had the rots for years. (Query, since '48.) Nothing but office has kept him in the line, and when ! that run out his Democracy run out, too." A marvelous thing is office in its operation. Our neighbor says, that the Democracy runs right out of a man the instant you pull the spigot of office out of him. But judging from his own case, replace the spigot and you may pour barrels of that same Democracy into him, he will hold it all, and thirsty souls can get the article of lum by the small measure. "Dissolving the Union." The Plain Dealer has a column of flap doodle, opening a series of absolute and unconditional falsehoods about Fremonters lietitiomng for a "Dissolution of the Union," &c and concluding with the threat that the Union shall be dissolved, if Fremont is elected, and prophesying in such an event the farther calamity of "20,000 ne groes let loose in Ohio !" Mirabile dictu! If the majority of the people, shall, in pursuance of their constitutional right, elect John C r remont .and William L. Dayton to the ofhees for which tliev are in nomi nation, then threatens tho Plain Dealer: "As a choice of evils, the Southern Gov ernors will convene their Legislatures in 'Extra Session and appoint delegates to "frame a Constitution for a Southern Re public I" And yet, before the ink of this threat is dry, this Union-loving editor goes on to charge the Republicans as "Disunionixts!" I his J. W. Gray, m one of his old aboli tion editorials, when berating the South for their constant efforts. at extending slavery, exclaimed after this fashion: These men need not think of intimidating us with their threats of a dissolution of the Union ! Let theni press their slavery propagandist! a little farther, and they will find that the people bear in their liosoms a love stronger than their love for the Union ! Stronger than their love for tire Constitution even ! A love for Liberty ! Not exactly Gray's words, but the sentiment, and the exact words we will give as soon as we can find time to turn to his files. The ltepublicnn party arc the Union party. Ihey are for the Union as-our fa thers established it to be administered for the purposes to which they ordained it. It is alone in nurturing the principles of Freedom, that this Union will hud health and pennanancy and length of years. Uutsido of a cab-load of men in the neighborhood of Boston, all the earnest disunion sentiment is found south and too in the ranks of the most active advo cates of Mr. Buchanan s election. And yet, there is inpudenee and falsehood so brazen as to charge the r reiuouters as be ing Disunion men ! John C. Breckinridge, the candidate for Vice President, has been making speeches his own favor in several places. At Tippecanoe, Indiana, he took the ground that if the majority decided against any" section of the country in the choice of a President, that section ought not to sub mit in other words, that the majority ought not to govern. The same idea that we have quoted above from Gray. Hear Mr. Brcckenridsre: "If the Eastern States were to unite in solid phalanx against the West, or tho Southern against the Northern, they hap pening to have a majority, would you sub mit toil! I AM SURE YOU WOULD NOT, for know yon to bo men. And, should they further, accompany every act of their tri umph with every expression of contumely and contempt, would tou not believe revolution a solemn duty? You need not respond,! know your manly sentiment." 1. as -.....-....., ty, Here we have the Democratic candidate for Vice President recommending revolu tion and disunion if the majority is against his party. What does this mean, but "elect ME as Vice President, or OUR par ty will dissolve the Uiu'on f Nevertheless this Kentucky Slaveholder is howling through the land that the Republicans are Disumonists? In the House, April 7, KEITT of South l.firnhiifL said: "Sir, the next contest will be a momen tous one. xl win turn uu tni me uuesuuu of Slavery, and the constitutional rights of the South. The south should establish in the platform, the principle, that the right of a southern man to his slave is equal, in length and breadth to the right of a North em man to his horses. She should make the recognition of the right FULL, COM PLETE, and INDISPUTABLE. Let the north refuse admission to a State because of-slavery in hor Constitution, and fhe HISTORY OF THIS UNION IS CLOSED. If it the f,0vcrn ment becomes the puppet of Abolitionism, if it becomes, in our very midst, to us, a foreign Government, the South shall TEAK IT DVW N from turret to founda tion. Abolish the anti-State slave trade, and we will TRAMPLE your usurpations UJNDEit JbOUT. Kepeal the lurritive slave law, and the South will MEET YOU WITH GAUNTLETS ON. In the next presidential election the North will decide the probable fate of the Union. If the banner of Black Republicanism is lifted to victory, the South will raise aloft her sym bol ol sovereignty, and interpose her own shield for the safety of her citizens. LET THE CONSERVATIVES OF THE NORTH BEWARE!" In the House, April 9, Hon. E. S. SHORTER, of Alabama, said: "Do not believe that the South, less patriotic now than in the days of tho Rev olution, will quietly submit to the sacrafice of her rights, and STILL CLING TO UNION I If such is public opinion at the North, let it be at once undeceived. We undestand gentlemen, what our rights are under the Constitution, and with the blessing of God we mean to maintain them, we ask for nothing more will be content with nothing less. livrv nnrl TiWir I rrut f lint ttitt crwi rf uie union nm ue.er ngsuu, 111 aueunour, ue incunea w-wmi oi.use iui me omi ..j.. w Vaat t .1 ' t I l C I I i ueiieve in tne rigni 01 a sovereign estate 1 1 yj m 1 10 seceue irom uw umou ue.uner sue ue- termincs that the Federal Constitution has oeen vioiatea oy congress; ana tnat wis vrovernmeui lias 110 cousuiuuoiiai power 10 m f, .

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 1856. My Esteemed Friesd: I have seen published in the newspapers of this city, since my return to California, several state ments relating to a subject which jiarticu larly concerns myself ; and wishing to aid in setti'iia; public opinion right on the matter, which I am going to speak of with all possible brevity, I have to request that you will publish these lines in your jour nal. For about eight years articles Lave ap peared with more or less frequency in some newspapers in the Union, in which a contract for a number of cattle has been spoken of, made in 1847, in the City of Los Angeles, bctweeu Col.- Fremont and mvself. -The evident want-of truth in the published ver sions of that business and simple nature of the contract made m this country un der the circumstances then existing, seem ed to me sufficient reasons for not taking the trouble to refute unfounded calumnies. I do not now propose to give an extensive statement of events, or to mase Kiwnn the want of resources under which Califor nia was conquered, because all those things are perfectly well known. Hie cluets had no choice but to recur to their own per sonal credit to feed their soldiers. The cattle which CoL Fremont contracted for for that purpose Don A.

The above letter relates to the "six hun dred cows," out of which Col. Fremont has been accused, in some of the baser Buch- aneer journals, of swindling, or trying to swindle, the Government, by buying them on its credit and converting them to his own use ! We have already stated the fact that the Government never paid one cent for them, but we did not then know that it nwi actually made money on them, by sub- jectmg them to duty at San Diego. M. de Celis' statement is evidently truthful, and he speaks of what ho knows.iV. Y. Tri- buni. "Ten Cent Jimmy."

The Richmond Examiner, a leading Democratic pner in Virginia, and one of the most ardent supporters ot cucuanan, holds the following language: "Until receutlv, the defence of Slavery labored under great dinicullies, Decausc us aixlog:sts, (for they were mere apologist. 1 took half-way grounds. They confined the ueteiiee ot slavery to mere negro slavery ; thereby giving up tho slavery principle, and admitting other forms of slavery to be wrong. I lie line of defence, however, is now changed. The South now maintains that Slavery is right, naturally and nec- essary, and does not depend upon differ- ences of complexion. The laws of the Slave States justify the holding of white men in bondage." The Charleston Standard, a leading Bu chanan paper in South Caroliua, savs "blavury is the natural and normal con dition of the laboring man whether white or black. The great evil of Northern free societies, is, that it is burdened with a ser- vile class of mechanics and laborers, unfit for self-government, and vet clothed with the attributes aud powers of citizens.

We repeat, then, that policy and hnmanity alike forbid the extension of the evils of free society to new TeoTlo and cominfr freneralioiis.

What is it but a conglomeration of greasy mechanics, filthy opperatives, small fisted farmers, and moon-struck tieonstsf All the Northern and especially the New Eng land States, are devoid of society fitted for well bred gentlemen, lhe prevailing class one meets is that of mechanics striigglm to be genteel, and small farmers who do their own drudgery; and yet who are hardly fit for association with a Southern gentleman s body-servant this is your free society which tne Northern hordes are endeavoring to extend into Kansas. The South Side Democrat of Virginia, whose editor was supported bv the Demo crats for C lerk of the House of Representa- tivcs of the present Congress, pitches into everything Free, after the following style: "We have got to hating every thing with the prenx tree, trom tree negroes down and up through the whole catalogue tree farms, free laljor, free society, free will, tree thinking, free children, and free schools and belonging to the same brood of damnable isms. But the worst of all these abominations is the modem system of free schools, lhe New England system of free schools has been the cause and pro line source of the infidelities and treason that have turned her cities into Sodoms and Gomormhs, and her land into the connon nestling-places of howling Bedlam- ities. We abominate the system because the schools are free" The Alabama Mail, in speaking of the shooting of the Irish waiter by that distin guished Democrat, P. T. Herliert, says: "It is getting tune that waiters at the North were convinced that they are serv- ants and not 'gentlemen' in disguise, We them hope this Herbert affair will teach prui lence. lhe Washington Union, the national organ ot iinchnnan, says that the tree white lnliorers of Kansas "Are a miserable blear-eyed rabble who nave been transierrea HKe so many cattle to that country.' Senator Butler of South Carolina, uncle of the gallant nephew who assnulted Chas. Sumner, says: "That men have no right to vote unless they are possessed of property as required bv tho Constitution of South Corolina. Thero no man can vote unless he owns ten nogroes, or real estate to the value of ten thousand dollars." It is tin; tMinst of tho Statesman that theirs is a "national" pariv that it-s prin ciples are the same both North and South. e may therefore satolv conclude that the above extracts express its opinions, and that the Southern Buchanan organs faithtully represent its "national principles.

Senator Douglas Speech at tho New York Ratification Meeting. "The fact is, both PLATFORM and CANDIDATE are perfectly satisfactory to the most scrupulous stickler for South ern rights." Richmond Enquirer. I have been placed on a platform which most heartily approve, and Mat can speak for me.
