BUCHANAN GONG UNDER IN Omo.-Ths
Democratic State Central Committee of Ohio
recently met at Columbus, and il will DO
aeen from the following extract, which We
give from the State Journal, that II was in
directly determined to abandon all struggle
for the Presidency in that State: -
The meeting was n gloomy one. The
Dougasites charged the Buchanites with nm
generous and unfair treatment at the Cincin.
natl Convention, and all the blame Of the
present deplorabe condition of the Locofo.
co party was laid at their door. An unwrit-
ten resolution was adopted abandoning the
field, as far as the Presidency was concerned !,
but urging upon the several districts to con-
centrate all their forces upon the election Of
members os Congress.

Mr.. FILI.MoRE's RESPONSE TO THE
WINGS or VIRGINIA.
BUFFALO, N. Y. Augnst IS. X

BUFFALO, N. 1. August b, 1890.
Wndhdm Robertson, Esg.-SIR:-I have
the honor to acknowledg the receipt Of your
letter of the 23d uitimo, transmitting copy
ofihe preamble and resolutions adopted by
the Wing Convention Of Virginia, lately as
bed at Richmond, by which that intelligent
and patriotic body recommended to their
Wing brethren throughout the State to
yield to my nomination for the Presidency
their active and Jealous support.
Standing, as do, as the known candidate
Of another party, yet receive this recon.
mendation with gratitude and pride. ] feel
that it is made, not because the principles of
the two parties are identical nor with view
Of merging them in each other-for such m
object is expressly disslaimed by the Con-
venton-but because the principles which
my nomination represents, approach more
nearly to those maintained by the Wings Of
Virginia, than those OF any other candidate;
and because, as the Convention was pleased
TO say. of their confidence in my late admin.
istration of the government.
Whatever may be our differences on minor
subjects, | am sure there is one on which
we agree-and that one at this moment is
paramount to all others, alluded to the
preservation of the Union of these States,
and the rescuing the country from section
al strife. The question is not so much, how
shall the governmentbe administered, as how
shall it be preserved and on this great, vital
question, national Wings, national Democrats,
and Union loving Americans may well act in
concert. On this basis, shall with great
pleasure receive the votes of all who have
confidence in my integrity and ability, and
who ask no other pledge than my past SER
vice, for my future conduct This position
seems to me alike honorable to all. No
principle is sacrificed. No deception practic.
ed, and trust that no one, casting his vote
for me on this ground, will ever have cause
TO regret it. j.
With many thanks for the hattering man.
ner in which you have been pleased to com.
municate the result of the Convention.
/ have the honor TO be,
Your friend aud felow.citizen,
WILLARD FILLMORE.

w Hon. N. G. Foster, member of Con-
gress from the Seventh district of Georgia,
in answer to the complaint of some of his
constituents that they do not receive due
proportion of Know Nothing campaign doc
uments, writes MS follows
If our friends in Georgia would reflect for
one moment upon the fact that the demo-
cratic party have National Democratic Com
mittee, composed of men from every State
in the Union, backed by hordes of govern.
ment officers, with thousands of dollars at
their disposal, they would not be astonished
that they are "flooded with democratic doc
uments." have done the best could;
know my friends do not expect myself and
Mr.. Trip to spend what little fortune
we have in keeping pace with the National
Democratic Committee. We have Fill
more and Donelson Committee here, COM
posed principally of private gentlemen Of
this district. But we are without funds
only as we contribute it. If the election is
to go as the quantity Of documents shall pre-
ponderate, we shall be beaten most assuredly.

PENSsYvANIA.-The friends of Mr.. Fill
more in Pennsylvania refuse to unite with
those OF Fremont on the electoral ticket
This is the true course. Let the disunionists
paddle their own canoe, if they want help,
they can get it from the Democrats:
A letter from Philadelphia TO the Express
says
Things are moving finely, nngnfcently
in our State Fillmore gaining friends every
hour, and Buchanan losing very fast Many
Of the Democrats are going to Fremont, and
great many conservative ones are coming
out for Fillmore, and the Americans who
went over to Fremont when the Republican
fever was at its heigh! are coming back aud
things could not be working better.
All hail, Pennsylvania!

crat just returned from North Georgia, day
or two since, expresses the opinion that the

it is her glorious destiny, backed by Tennes.

Mr.. BUCHANAN VS.. THE WIpow BRows.
In 1928, Mrs. Brown, widow of Gen.
Brown, the immortal hero of Chippewa, a
most excellent woman, applied to Congress
for the balance Of n years salary of her hus-

he lived. Gen. Brown had by his services
in the war of 1912, been reduced from affIu.
ence to dependence upon his salary rs an Of
ficer for his daily bread and when he died his
family was left in want and destitution. He
had died of disease contracted 10 the services
of his country, in which he had won name
which will perish only with the records Of

SHOCKING SuIoIpE.-We record with much
pain the fpllowinglmelancholy case:
On Tuesday morning a locomotive on the
Greenville road, on the way to the depot,
came suddenly ppon a man lying between
two cross.ties in depression, so that he
could not be seen until the engine was al.
most upon him. He was seen to lay his head
on the rail, but too late for the engineer to
stop the engine His head was severed from
his body, and fell off the track-his body
was left as he sat, with his hand clenched
on cross.tie.

his boarding house stating his Intention

AMERICAN CoSsTITUTIoN.-Tha; is beau
tifu figure Of Winthrops in reference to
the Constitution, where he says--"Like one
of those wondrous rocking stones raised by
the Druids, which the finger of child might
vibrate to its centre, yet the might of an ar
my could not move from its place, our con-
stitution is SO nicely poised, that it seems
to sway with every breath Of passion, yet so
firmly based in the hearts and affections Of
the people, that the widest storms of trea-
son and fanaticism break over il in vain."

which was addressed by man named Smith.
After the meeting difficulty occurred be-
tween the Republicans and another party, in
which two of the atter-Messrs. Eurrison
