politicians and spoilsmen of the opposition forces
| In New Jersey the Fillmore leaders have openly
confessed their weakness and their treachery, by
\ refusing conjunction, which, if they were as
strong as they profess to be, would give to Fill

State. In Pennsylvania, in addition to little

that the Fremont leaders are to blame; and Frt-
| mont men declare that tie Fillmoreites have too
! many charlatans and traitors among them cast
| ing about for the highest bidder. With such
| chickering's iealousies and divisions among the
opposition forces, what other result can be rea-

mon enemy?
Assuming in this view. the election of Mr

have been like that OF Monroe, an era OF good
