TnE PnEsipEScY. The Baltimore American
contains communication on this subject from
the pen of ono Of the most prominent and innu
ontial Wings of Maryland, one who never allow
ed partisan zeal 10 blind his judgement, or TO cx-
pross opinions that Lo has not the best reasons
f,r believing to be correct and reliable"
Abiding 10 the probability Of the election be.
ing carried 10 the House of Representatives, the
writer remarks:
If the House fail ia choose a President before
tho ilh If March the three candidates for tho OF.
flee of President are wholly sci aside, and. upon
such fauro.nethrr Mr.. Buchanan, nor Mr. Ere.
mont, nor Mr.. Fillmore enn be chosen at all.
In the event supposed, the contest will be be-
tween the two highest on the list for Vice Pres
ident. md ns the Senate is now constituted Mr.
breckenridge, if he be one Of the two highest on
the list, will be the man.
Now, the certainty that n Democratic prcs
dent must be the consequence of permitting the
right of choice to pass from the House into the
hanl4 of the Senate, is fact which must
constantly bear in mind for that fact is 10 nAn-
once in an essential manner the choice of Pres
ideni by tho House.
The Democrats know that they may with per
feet snfety hold on until the ith of March. That
if they lose Mr. buchanan by allowing the cleo
ton 10 20 to tho Senate. they will gain Mr..
breckenridge, aud Of all parties in the world they
cnre least about men. The Democracy of the
House. therefore, will stand firm. The 9TH of
March may come, nnd not n man will have strag-
gled from their ranks.
The Americans know that by standing firmly
together. the worst that can happen will be the
election of n Democratic President. Let the Ith
Of Mrrch come for them. and it only gives them
breckenridge instead of Buchanan. But they
never can and never will vote for Fremont, n
mere boy. without political knowledge or expert
encn, who. If he were elected. would be mere
instrument IN the hands of the wor. men for the
worst purposes,
The Republicans will make an earnest struggle
for their man, but when they see,as sec they must,
TINT il j. destined TO lac fruitess, they viii Join
tho Americans and make Mr.. Fillmore President,
They will neither vote for buchanan suffer
the election 10 go To the Senate. My information
ON this subject is derived from the most inte-
gent aud authentic sources.
The result upon tho whole il that the people
will fail 10 elect President, TINT the House will
elect one, and that the choice of the House will
be Mr. Fillmore.
But if these results were infinitely less prob
ahle than they IRE, what folly it were in the
Wings, ms long ~ there is no chance for Mr. Ere
mont either b, the people or by the House to
give up in despair. throw AWAY all their CONT
nrnt power of doing good. and vote at once for
Buchanan. with his own denominations aud all
the additional denominations of the Cincinnati
platform on hj4 head
Let the Wings of the whole Union meet in
Council, in the city of Baltimore on the Eth Sep.
trmher. Let the old Wing banner agnin font TO
the brre2r aud thousands aud tens of thousands
of hearts will warm to it, TINT are now cold and
lifelcss.
