FILLMOR1'S CHANCES.

The Washington correspondent of the Mo-
bile Register speculates on the Presidential
election by the House Of Representatives,
Where tl EaoY aothings are striving to car
~ It, as follows:
There is no reasonable probability that Mr..
Fillmore will receive the electoral vote of u
single Northern State. Every State in that
section that docs not go for Buchanan will
vote for Frdemont But The Fillmore men
brng high in order 10 nerve the efforts Of
their brethren in the South They want to
subtract as many votes as possible from Mr.
Buchanan in that section, leaving the Fremont
men to play IL similar game in the North, III
the hope that this double effort may defeat an
election before the people.
do not think it at all probable that such
eilerts will succeed Mr.. Buchanan's election
is ms certain as any future event can be. But
people should be advised of The desperate eX-
pedients that are being resortcd to, to compass
his defeat, 10y throwing the election into the
House. 1t also becomes a duty to scan closely
the character of the House, with IL view OF as
certaining its probable action, should it be
called upon to elect President!
In eleeting President the House votes by
States, each State being entitled to one vote,
and n majority Of all is necessary to elect. 1t
is for the Representatives. from State to
agree among themselves, and to say how its
vote shall be cast Now, let us see how many
States have majority favorable to Mr. Fill.
more.
The Black Republicans have a clear majori-
ty in thirteen OF the sixteen non-slaveholding
States, They have all the free States but G ali
fornia, Iowa aud Illinois. The two members
from California are sound, reliable Democrats
OF the two members from Iowa, one is Demo
crat and the other Black Republican. The
vote OF that State, therefore, will be thrown
away. But will this count as effectually

WORDS OF WIsDoM-In an article Showing
tile efforts to produce u fusion of all the isms
and ties in the North against the Democratic
party Jecause it is true to the Constitution, to
tile South, and the o4ily organization that is
so, at this timc the Montgomery Advertiser
& Gazette utters the following words OF wis.
dom, which should be needed by all Democrat
c editors and speakers in this canvass:
1t is not necessary that in joining the De-
mocracy any one should dbandon the princi-
plies l!t has heretofore prdfesscd; it does not
imply desertion of them, and acceptance of
those of the Democracy. He comes with us
into the conflict only as an ally, doing his duty
while it continues, until the common enemy is
routed-thcn to renew, if duty should require
lit, his former rivalry with lis. We would in
deed have but little respect for one who yes
tcrday Wing or Know Nothing, should to-
day proclaim himself Democrat, if he meant
thereby that he subscribed to all the party
dogmas he had rejected during his lifetime;
but we do honor and esteem him, who,
seeing and feeling the greatness Of the issue
now forced upon the country, remembers that
he belongs to the South aud not to party,
and frankly and mantully places himself by the
side Of his old opponents, saying, II am with
you until the fight is over" And We have
very little respect for those mole-eyed patriots
who, unable to see the army of Northern Ma
tire Amerima foes arraycd against us, while
the Democracy Of the whole country are all
yancing on them with mighty shout of
States rights-equality-non nteryentioaw
creep through our camp, breeding dissention
with The whisper, 'put none but americans on
guard" whose olfactories are in such diseas-
ed, abnormal condition that they cannot scent
danger III the disease tainted by vile eructa-
tions from Northern Protestant pulpits, but
are safocated and gasp with womanly fright
at Whit of air from the Vatican in Italy,
where sits poor old spectre of u Pope, up
held upon his tottering throne by foreign bay
onets.
1t is not because we need the aid Of Wings
or Know Notliirgs in Alabama, but because
we desire to give moral effect to our posi-
tion greater than majority can bestow, that
we wish unanin,ty in the South; it is because
we earnestly hope that existing animosities
arising out of past contests may be allayed.
and social and political unity-the sure pre-
sage Of triumph and security, in or out OF the
Unon-=atise out of the present conflict.

tion Of Judge Trumbull, who was elected to
the Senate utter bis election to the House.
The eight members now in the House are
equally divided between the Democrats and
Black Republicans. If the vacahcy now exist
will also be thrown away.
Not cne Of the Black Republican States
would vote for Fillmore under any circumstan-
ces. Now for the Southern States The
Know-Nothings have majority in Delaware,
Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. II Evans,
of Texas, BE connted as Know Nothing, that
State is divided Mr. Evans, though elected
against the regular Democratic nominee, is
but d scni-know Nothing. He generally
votes with the Democrats on all test questions
in the House. Therefore, in vote for Presi-
dent in the House, Texas might be set down
for Buchanan Tennessee is divided.
Thus we have four States which would 20
for Mr.. Fillmore, if the election should go into
the House. He could get no more. No con-
tngency can be conceived which would give
him the vote OF another State. The thirteen
Black Republican States would go for Free
mont; the eleven Democratic States (including
Texas would vote for Buchanan; the four
Know Nothing States would vote for Fillmore,
and the votes Of the three divided States
would be thrown away.
This is the whole question in nutshell. |
have given correct classification of the House
Now, who can take that classification and. fig
dfe out Presidential election at u? The
Fillmore States could not go to the Fremont
Suites; and it is morally certain that the Ere
mont men would never go to Fillmore. The
Buchanan men would not, of course, unite with
either So the chances are ninety-nine out of
hundred that, if the election goes into tho
House, no President would be chosen. 1t is
true, that the four Fillmore States, (and Ten
nessce, added I'd the eleven Buchanan States,
would secure an election. Bat it is not prob
able that that could lie done.
In any light in which the question can be
viewed the election Of Mr.. Fillmore to the
Presidency is as improbable as any event that
could be conceived. ARGUS.

answers in this laconic and emphatic manner: !:
For BucHANAN-If the American will
trouble himself to call at our Office, we will
show him that eighteen daily and sixty-three
weekly German papers go for the great nomi-
nees Of the Democratic party, Buchanan and
Breckenridge.
If the Filmoreites Of the South and the
Fremontites of the North, build their hopes of
Mr.. Bnchanan's defeat in the States where the
German vote is heavy, and where it has always
been cast for the Democrats, the result will
show how vastly they were mistaken. After
the election the Bee will see the "seven-
eighths" just where they were before unchang-
ed and Interchangeable in their devotion to De-
mocracy.
