the next largest popular vote
ooneeds howsvet for srgument's sake, that Fillmore
h carry New York; does that insure his success Ger
.ny not unless he receives entire vote Of the South
Now the Democracy hold undisputed sway In every
eoa'nern state But says the Wig South should
FORK In other words the WAg coh<ends that one State
should trump sixteen States We argue dffereptl, =
We say What no impartial viii deny that Buchanan
S carry the entire South, and claim that Fllmores
supporters In New York should support Buchanan and
mus insure the election Of conservative President and
the A.cendency ola patriotic party That's the argument
Saturdays Enquirer.
The result Of the late elections in Maine and low. 20
disastrous to the Buchanan Democracy and the
Eimprovng prospects OF Mr.. Fillmore have thrown our
democratic contemporaries into series Of very amusing
n" They are the most uneasy, unhappy and ridiculous
set OF fellows living. They betray symptoms of
alarm and misery in every laundering paragraph they
write But what be done to relieve them Is more
than We can We doubt whether there any remedy
Tor them There will certainly be after the elections
on the l4h of October in Pennsylvania Illinois and In.
diana Then will the Democracy be smashed to atoms
once for all In not single Northern State will vesge
Of the party remain will be utterly absorbed by Black
Republicanisn.
The Richmond Enquirer especially maniiests an awful
SORENESS and manages to make itself particularly rdcu
ous just about this time the above paragraph abund
anty shows "l Fillmore stock really rising, why be
perpetuay trying prove the fact " asks the Enquirer
Why may We not retort, and inquire II Mr. Fillmore will
not get single State North or South as the ENQUIRER
aud its allies daily aege why be pepetuAly making war
upon hm' II he really out of the question aud stands
IN nobodys why not let him in peace and Quit
your denunciation and abuse of hims
But told the Democracy have no idea of desert
ing their candidate for Fillmore. Now never supposed
for moment that the leaders and politicians of the Dem
ocraic party would be found deserving their candidate Tor
Fillmore Not at all They in the habit of doing
anything that Is truly and purely patriotic Their lives
are devoted 10 the pursuit Of the spo and of course
no one could or would suspect them Of being willing
abandon their cherished and only occupation. OH no
the Democracy will desert Buchanan for Fillmore but
they are very ready desert Buchanan for Fremont as
the recent elections in the North amply demonstrate
Aud this is about the best Illustration they will ever give
OF their patriotism aud their regard Tor the rights and
honor of the South.
Our readers readily how little confidence should
be placed in the calculations OF Democratic politicians
when they hear proclaimed by the Enquirer tat the
vote of New York the vote of the entire South will he
cast for buchanan As for ourselves the sake Of
Fillmore, We are always rejoiced when find Demo
cratic newspaper ndscreet and green enough
what Is so stupidity aud confessedly absurd OF course
no man IN bis senses OF party puts the slightest faith
in the idea-so completely preposerous and stupd-hat
buchanans going carry the united southern States Della
ware Maryland Kentucky Tennessee and Louisiana nclu
ed II one thing certain ia this world than another
1t that each of these States will 90 for Fillmore by large
nsioites-and so will the great State OF New York The
Democracy indulge in their vain and empty Dragging only
to impose upon such voters naturalborn oos-t
will certainly have no effect upon anybody else.
We again repeat that Buchan.ns chances Of election
are utterly, utterly, utterly hopeless In word it is
perfect impossibity, every in the country
Sill acknowledge after the October elections On the
other hand Mr.. Fillmore be elected and what is
more, rH be elected if the South will do its duty to
itself aud the country and give him united Will
not this be done We believe it will because we believe
the October elections will demonstrate the absolute neces
lily ofhe South pursuing the We have viudicated
As matter of sefprotection. To elect Willard Fillmore
. the only hope OF the South and of the Union Let true
men aud patriots everywhere remember this fact and vote
accordingly
