THE RIGHT DOCTRINE.

A message comes to us from Baltimore,
saying: Let other States do as they
may, Maryland will cast her electoral vote
for MilIard Fillmore We like the plain
out spoken truth, and we rejoice when it
it boldly told. We have no sympathy
with that endorsement that speaks in a
half stifed whisper, with butts or ifs, for
we have no confidence in it, but when it
comes in thunder tones, and not depen-
dent on any contingency, then we know
it shall be done. Let others do as they
may, Maryland will go for Fillmore
The very manner in which it is told goes
home to the heart of every American,
convincing him that it is true to the last
syllable. No signs of dependency there;
no proposition TO do so and SO, if others
would likewise; no implied understanding
thatif they thought Millard Fillmore could
be elected, they would vote for him; no
waiting by the waters side to see how
high the tide would rise before they
embarked upon its waters; no question as
to his election, no counting of chances,
nor calculation Of figures, but with the
same spirit that induced the American
candidate to accept the nomination, the
exclamation come to us unequiyocally
that Let others do as they may, Mary
land casts her electoral vote for Millard
Fillmore The sentiment is American
all over, and fnds a hearty response in
every American breast. Lett go abroad
in every direction as an undying exam
pie to those wavering sous of liberty who
dare not assert their independence. We
like the sentiment expressed in it. There
is meaning, independence, and deter
miHafion that could hew down noun
tain. We believe that Maryland will 60
for Fillmore. What State speaks next ?

SCR APPS.

If a man does not make new acquaintances
as he advances through life, he will himself be
left alone A man should keep his friendship
in constant repair.
The man who has so little knowledge of
human nature as to seek happiness by chang
ing anything but his own disposition, will
waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply
the griefs which he purposes to remove.
Rebukes, like bitter medicines, are very uns
pleasant, yet sometimes necessary TO our well
being
Anger is TO the mind as alcohol to the body
it soon destroys its functions. lntemper~
ance destroys peace, health, happiness, useful-
ness-body, mind and soul.
The man who builds air castles, and pines be~
cause they are not realities, is like one who
seeks wide river, and sits down and weeps
because he cannot leap across it.
She man who has no enemies may at once
conclude he has no parts, for it is as natural
for little minds TO envy and detract from that
which is great as it is for water to seek level

AG E..

But few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passional or bodily
toll, or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes, even suddenly. The com.
mon expression, choked with passion, has
little exaggeration in it; for even though
not suddenly fatal, strong passions short
en- life. Strong bodied men often die
young; weak men live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their strength,
and the weak have none to use. The
latter take care Of themselves, the former
do not. AS it is with the body, so it is
with the mind and temper. The strong
are apt to break, or, like the candle to
run; the weak burn out. The inferior,
animals which live, in general, regular
and temperate lives, have been generally
their prescribed term of years. The
horse twenty-five years, the OK fifteen or
twenty, the lion about twenty, the dog
ten or twelve, the rabbit eight, and the
guinea-pig six or seven years, these num-
bers all bear similar proportion to the
time the animal takes to grow to its full
size. But man, of all the animals, is the
only one that seldom comes up TO his
average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to his physiological law,
for five times twenty are one hundred;
but instead of that, he scarcely reaches,
on the average, four times his growing
period, the cat six times and the rabbit
even eight times the standard of measure
ment. The reason is obvious; man is
not molly themost irregular and the most
Incorporate, but the most laborous and
hard worked of all animals. He is also
the most irritable of all animals, and
there is reason to believe, though we can
not tell what an animal secretly feels, that
more than any other animal man chcrishes
wrath to keep it warm, and consumes
himself with the fire of his own reflections.

sets, in which Fillmore is conceded to
have fair show. As goes Iowa, SO go
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin,-States peopIed by the same
character of population, and influenced
by the same views. There is no earthly
reason to believe that Mr.. Buchanan will
prevailln single Northern State. There
is not one to which his friends can point
and say her vote is sure for Buchanan.-
Then we ask of what possible benefit it
would be to give to the Democratic candi-
| date 100 Southern electoral votes, since
176 Northern electoral votes are morally
certain to be thrown against him.
But we are told that Mr.. Fillmore will
not get single State, North or South
Ay, indeed! They who utter this non
sense know better, for if it were true,
Fremont's election would be foregone
conclusion. How many States Mr.. Fill
more will carry we will not undertake TO
decide. From the lights before us, we
consider that he is at least certain of Della
ware, Maryland, Kentucky and Tennes-
see in the South, and stands an equal
chance of taking Louisiana and Florida.
But this is not gertnane to the subject
now at issue. Can Mr.. Fillmore secure a
sufficient number of Northern States to
make him President, with the united vote
of the South. YES, for he can and will
obtain the thirty FIVE votes Of New York,
to say nothing of Massachusetts and New
Jersey. Can Mr.. Buchanan do this ?
NO, for his own friends surrender every
Northern State save Pennsylvania, India
ma and Illinois, while his opponents claim
that he has not the ghost of chance in
any of them. What avails it, then, to
throw away Southern votes on Buchanan,
if he cannot be elected Is it not the
part of reason and reflection to sustain

SATURDAY, SEPT. or, 1850
THE TRUE ISSUE.


1t may surprise superficial readers, says
the Bee, that the Fillmore press Of the
South should expend 50 much time in
arraying proof Of Mr.. Buohanan's weak
ness, and ofthe lnposstt,iIity of .hiseIec-
ton. Nothing, however, is more suscepti-
Bile ofeasy explanation. The Democra-
| tic organs in the South, abandoning ar
gument, avoiding the discussion of princi-
pies, seeking only to terrify the South in
to the support Of AIr. Buchanan, confne
their exertions to desperate attempt to
show that Mr.. Fillmore has no chance,
and that the only resource for the South
is to vote for the Democratic nominee
This is their entire stock in trade their
solitary argument, and, as a matter of
course, the friends of Fillmore must
meet them on their own ground. Here
and there, amongst the riffaff Of the party
press, we occasionally perceive lame
and contemplate assault on Fillmore, with
nauseating accumulation of mendacious
epithets-such as styling him an Aboli-
ZIONIST, &C.; but this miserable and in
effective slangwhanging is eschewed by
decent Democratic journals, and is wisely
regulated othe obscure prints which love
to dabble in dirty water. The able and
dignifed portions of the Democratic press
prudently Danish from their columns these
wretched electioneeFing expedients, which
after all, do Mr.. Fillmore more good than
harm, because everybody regards them
with unqualified disgust.
The leading issue in the South is, then,
clearly how we shall cast our votes SO as
most effectually to secure the defeat of
Fremont. Granting, as the Buchanan
men4affirm, thatthe Democratic nominee
lis sound on Southern questions, and
knowing that Fillmore is equally sound,
it is certainly desirable and important that
the South should sustain one of the two
with unanimous favor. The Buchanan
men have said, keep saying, and will pro-
bably say on to the end Of the chapter,
that their candidate is certain Of his cleo
ton. Tfcertain, under any contingency,
why these frantic appeals to the South to
give him her 100 electoral votes? This
alone establishes the doubt that oppresses
them in the midst Of their assumed conf
denA. But they off erno proof Of their
assertions, whilst we demonstrate, from
the unerring record Of the ballot box, that
they are IN error, seIf.deceiyed, or seek
ing to deceive others. The votes recently
cast in Iowa, Vermont and Maine are
evidence conclusive and impregnable that
Mr.. Buchanan is repudiated at the
North. 1t is ridiculous to fall back upon
States which have not voted, and to as
sumo that Pennsylvania, Illinois and New
Jersey will 20 for orBachanaR, because such
assumption is believed by theVoice Of the
North and Northwest already expressed.
