There is (says the North American y no earth
| ly hope of arrestng the "Fillibuster" spirit-of
preventing war; both foreign and domesticof saving
the Union itself from the dangers of disruption, but
by the election of Gen. SooTT to the Presidential
office. Apart from his own well ascertained and
well approved character as lover of law, and order
and country, conservative Of the highest, stanches
and noblest class, he is the candidate of party of
conservatives party which is friendly to progress,
but not to rapine or license of any kind; party
which rejects Cuban annexation and the alliance of
Fillibusters J" party which does not care half SO
much about Cuban liberty as it does about Ameri-
can liberty, and American honor and happiness and
as such he is recommended to the suffrages of all
who, in this crisis, are willing to stand by their
country. There are enough of such men in the
land to save it-enough, we deyoutly believe, even
belonging to the Wing party, if they will but act.
Can an appeal to them in such cause be made in
vain The alternative is before them 1t is doubt
less all natural but it is most unfortunate that of
those who in the idle words of the phrase are sick
of politics" and neglect the surages and duties of
American citizens, the greatest numbers are always
found among the intelligent and yirtuous classes;
men of industry, means, business, the agricultural
and commercial interests particularly, who have, if
possible, larger stake than others in maintaining
the laws, the peace and the liberties of the country
This is no period for such to indulge their ease
or their apathy. There is great danger impending
over them. The Republic cannot suffer and they es-
cape from harm. The times demand Of every man
to look to his safety If patriotism be dead or
cold, there is duty which all men owe to them
selves and that duty only be discharged in the
canvass and at the ballot-box. There only seven
days to decide whether the future of this country
the future of themselves and their chidren-is to
be one of safety or Of nameless unhappiness. Our
Wing forefathers of the Revolution fought seven
years to establish the Republic. Let US, at least, de-
vote as many days to save it.

Through lifelong experience conductors of
this journal, we must say that we have never seen
the public press so degraded as it has been within
the last thirty forty days. by the propagation Of
the most shameless falsehoods, in regard not only to
the Wing candidate for the Presidency, but to the
existing Administration of the Government, which,
instead of being subjected to the villanous asper
sions cast upon it, deserves from every good citizen
the most hearty thanks and ssSinnvlaarion ior It's
loyalty to the Constitution, the Laws, and the faith
of Treaties and the exertons which it has made and
is making to sustain them all in full vigor. As for
the Telegraphic reports which are flying from one
end of the country to the other, concerning the
pending party contest the safest plan is to dstrust
almost every thing intended to affect the Election,
as in nine times out Of ten they not worthy of

aTHE pROspEcr BEr.lRE u.s. !

A venerable Editor, who during the first halt Of
the present century hourished in Virginiaof which
too, we may say, he was the oracle and guide--was
remarkable for repeating to his re, ders every day
on the approach of election, the iuspriting assu
rance Of " ,Shies Bright" which eA clamation, al
ways believing it himself, doubtless, b ut misled by
an ardent temperament, sometimes turned out to be
false prophecy
Not conceiving ourselves to be blest as our vene-
rable contemporary was, with the gift of prophecy,
we seldom venture to assume the province of pre-
diction preferrng generally the safer course OF say
ing who ought to be President, rather thar who
pW be. We have received, however, within week
or two past, so many applications from distant
friends learn what they term candid opinion"
of the rcs, of the Election to take place next Tues
day, that we are tempted to break through our habit,
and for once assume the function of the seer OF
Richmond We do this because we have expressed
our opinion in private and not holding two opinions
on any matter, we waive our objections to making it
public. We say, then, to those subscribers who
have addressed us by letter the subject, that, if
any reliance is to be placed on concurrent public
and private advices, upon favorable indications OF
public sentiment manifested in various ways and in
quarters where we did not at first expect success-it
all these, which we believe to be well-founded, do
not turn out to be deceptive, then we say that
WINFIELD ScoTT will surely obtain the palm, and
| be elected President of these United States. Sc
encouraging, indeed, are the advices and indications
referred to, from VIRGINIA as well as other States
that it is our opinion that that ancient Com
monwealth will, if the Wings throughout the State
do their duty, cast her vote for her ustrous Son.

portions OF the public lands among the Sates has become
