Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Del
aware and Florida, make up the fifteen slave
States of the Union, and the only question
about either, Of these is the little State of
Delaware, which in 1852 gave Pierce small
majority OF all the States here named only
two, Maryland and Kentucky, gave X. y.
majortes, and this when the party was at its
height of power and before it had comrenced
to decline-which it has been doing ever
since. We do not believe that either Ken
lucky or Maryland will vote for Mr.. Fillmore,
the American candidate, nor do we believe
that he has any chance TO get solitary slave
State in the Union No such contest can be
made in Kentucky or in Maryland as was
made in 1855 and those States will make ND
the full line for Buchanan and Breckenridge.
As far Arkansas, the democratic majority
will be greater than it ever was; and with
reference to our own State, we say that Buch-
anan's majority cannot be less that IL, 600
and it may go to $4,000, or even 10000
We have no desire to deceive anybody but
are anxious to inform everybody, so that
they may neither lose their wits nor their
money.
Now for the other side. We once knew a
lawyers man of genius, of learning, and of
great paris, as the saying is but who could
never gain cause, for the very reason that
he never looked to the opposite side of the
action-and this, we fear is the position of
the American party. From what we have
stated, they must see that their chances in
the slavehodng States are beautifully small.
Now look at the chances in the free States:
