THE PEOPLE VS.. THE POLITICIANS.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot
writing from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
makes the following statements
at is extremely difficult at present to form
any Just idea of how political affairs stand in
the State. To see and here politicians talk
u mean Democrats,) one would suppose that
there could not be even show of opposition
to Mr.. Buchanan. They boast OF carrying
the State by thirty, forty, and fifty thousand
majority. Stopping at country hotel en-
route this morning, several loud talking De-
mocrats were standing near me; asked them
how they thought the State was going, and
if Mr.. Fillmore had any friends or supporters
in thnt region! Not one was the reply
we don't know of II single vote he will get
in the entire vicinity
"An honest.looking, quiet, nnobtrusive, but
intelligent laborng man, who had been giving
audience to my intcrrogatores and the replies,
after remaining silent listener for some
minutes, took courage and spoke out after
this fashion -
"Gentlemen, you are mistaken. Here is
one Fillmore man who will vote for him, If it
be the last act of nv life. Nor is this ALL
have seven good brothers and father, each
of whom, though you may not know it, are
for Fillmore and nobody else. Two of them
were Democrats. Ten of my cousins also
tell me they have made up their minds to do
the same thing, and if you will come with me
will show you plenty of just such. Miard
Fillmore is good enough for me. lie made
the best President we have had since the
days of Washington"
81 took some pains to converse with the
honest rustic, and found him II man of excel
lent common sense. His expressive remark
was why sir, all us people are going for
Fillmore, and the politicians don't know it,
"Herein, in my judgement. lies F;lmore's
great strength. 1t sleeps silently but pow.
ertully in the throbbng hearts of the great
masses, and, like latent fire, ere long will

STOP THAT MISREPRESENTATION

A correspondent Of the Union and Ameri-
can, writing from Christiana, Rutherford CO.,
on Sunday last, gives what purports to be
an account of the debate at Murfreesboro',
the day previous between Messrs. Maynard
and Polk, The writer says, among other
things
"Major Polk asserted, and defed his com
petitor to DENY the assertions, that the Fill
more party had not ticket tpr the local Off
ces in single northern Stale, and that tue
Democratic was the only party which dared
to oppose the Republican forces. This state
ment Mr.. Maynard chose not TO deny"
If Major Polk made any such assertion as
is here ascribed to him, it is good evidence of
the want of information with which even
Democrats have charged him. Elections are
to come off this fall in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts,
Wisconsin, New Jersey and Michigan. In
Pennsylvania the Americans are supporting a
State ticket put in nomination previous to the
nomination Of Fremont; and wherever there
is any prospect of success they have candi
dates of their own for Congress and the Le'
gisature. In Ohio, they have State ticket,
candidates for Congress and the Legislature.
In Indiana, they support for Governor and
other State officers, the ticket of the Peoples
Convention, nominated last May; but have
separate and distinct tickets for members Of
Congress and the Legislature. In Illinois,
they have n ticket for Governor, for Congress.
men and Cor members Of the Legislature. In
New York, they have a full State ticket, and
candidates for Congress and the Legislature.
In Massachusetts, they have their separate
ticket for Governor and other State Offices
In Wisconsin, they have their "loca" tickets,
and are working zealously in support of
them. In New Jersey, their separate candi-
date for Governor is at the head Of all the
American papers. We get no papers from
Michigan, and can't say what is going on
there. Americans and Democrats seem to
consider the home of the great squatter SOW
ereign, Cass, given over to Fremont beyond
demption.-Pdtri0t.

The Effect Of Lie, or how uncle jake

farmers who were enjoying winter evening with
glass Of warm cider and well-flled pipe at the
village tavern, "spose you tell about that trip Of

deacon of the church, and it may be of use to
some, bekase it proves its better always to speak
the truth"
"You see," said Jake, after draining his pot OF
cider, and taking several long pulls at his pipe,
"you see, good many years ago wanted a little
money, and as | never liked much to borrow or
pay interest, it come into my head to load up the
wagon with produce i could spare and take a
journey to York. where, as il was a severe winter,
Il know'd could turn IL at once into cash. Every
thing went ON as smooth as lie until the second
day after / started fur hum and was snug in bed
at the inn where Iput up for the night. Jist,
howsomever as begun to feel like going to sleep,
heered a knock at the door, and before | could
say what do you want, the landlord poked his head
in the room, and says he, 'Neghbor, Pm sorry to
trouble you but a traveller has just arrived that

about it, says to myself, Jake, you tarnel fool,

/, Stranger, l haven't the least objection to let
you have half this bed but think il but right to
tell you that have somehow kotched the cache

"That's nothing" says he, "bekase I've been
