Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1856-08-23

The enthusiasm now pervading the minds of The
people of New York, 10 behalf Of Mr.. Fillmore far
exceeds that which prevailed there in l64s, when
the State was carried by Taylor and Fillmore by
an immense msjority. that election, 1t viii be
remembered three tickets were run, as Is the case
at present. Cass and Van Buren, divided the ops
position vote pretty equally between them; Van
Buren beating Cass eighty.
At the next election there is every reason to be-
ieye that Fillmore will lead his strongest opponent
Fremont, at least 80 600 votes, and Buchanan from
so 900 20 SO, 600 votes.
The action Of the recent convention Of old line
wings at Albany, which was attended by eight hun
dred delegates, affords uaerriug indication that
lhe mass Of the old national whig vote will be cast
for Fillmore and Donelson. Governor Hunt, Dan9
D. Barnard, late minister to Prussia, Geo. Wood,
the head of the New York bar, Hiram Krtchum.
James Kidd, late postmaster at Albany, Jonn I.
Bush, late United States marshal Of the northern
district, and other influential and active wings,
have taken the field for Mr.. Fillmore; as also have
Edward C. Delavan and John N. Wilder, both dis
tnguished for their benevolence and philanthropy,
and never heretofore strictly identified with either
i party The accession of Messrs. Delavan and
Wilder to the cause of Mr.. Fillmore may be esti
mated as securing him at least 10000 votes which
I he would not otherwise have received.
Our friends in New York, although somewhat
disappointed at the result of the elections 10 North
| Carolina and Missouri are in the best OF spirits
They know their strength and are determined to
put it FORTH They already in possession OF the
K State government which is always regarded as
equivalent to 90 600 votes, in consequence OF its
direction of the State canals which extend in vari
GUS directions for 700 miles; aud they Numbered in
their ranks many of the most interchangeable poit-
clans in the State, drawn from the old whig and de
mocratic psrtes-suppOrted by thousands OF ara
dent intelligent and energetic men in every rank
| Of life.
From letter received yesterday from gentle
man in Troy. whose opportunities for acquiring ac-
curate information are of the FIRST character, we
make the following extract: ave have nothing to
fear from Mr. Buchanan at the North. The joint
Convention which nominated Judge Parker for
Governor Ia Soft SHELF only intended for effect
in other States. No one pretends that the demos
cratic party has the slightest chance tor success in
New York, and the two factions are in reality no
more united than they were before the Convention
assembled.
Shells have gone over to Fremont, and many OF the
Hards have connected themselves with the Ameri-
can party. The democrats unable to Great
the hast enthusiasm, to call together single
respectable meeting. There is no vitality in
them as party!"
From another source we learn that the Irish
voters of New York are holding themselves in re-
serve, being as yet IN oOuOt whether tneN snail
declare { r Fremont or Buchanan. Archbishop
Hughes recently closeted for several hours with
Mr.. Dayton, at Long Branch, and it may BE- that
he has arranged this matter to the satisfaction of
the IRE pubcans."
After careful survey Of the whole field, from
Montauk to Niagara, the conclusion is inevitable,
that with prop.r exertion, Mr. Fillmore must re
ceive the vote of his native State. There is now
at work there so powerful a combination Of ele
ments in his favor that it is morally impossible to
prevent it. This consideration should nerve the
friends of the American cause in other States to
renewed exertions, to a closer organization, more
thorough cauvassng OF the election districts, and,
above all, to a general circulation of American
documents and newspapers. The democrats, all
though despairing of success, are working with
the energy OF desperation; and the Fremontsts,
fortified by the Kansas fund.- are industrious and
preserving. An equally energet and systematic
effort on our part you'd produce results that would
astonish even the most sanguine believers in the
ultimate triumph of American principles. Shall
. such an effort be wanting! Shall the most glOri-
Gus and the most righteous cause in which frermen
were ever embarked be destroyed by the Incidence
and supiueness OF its adherentsy- Washington Or
