Progress Of the Peoples Cause.

The New York Herald, in long editorial, con
firms a statement frequently made in our col.
umns, that there is a large party at the South,
now domineered over by rabid pro slavery leagues,
which is, at heart, favorable to the election of
Fremont and reformation in the policy of the
government The Herald says it has received
letters from Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina,
Alabama, and Mississippi, from men who cannot
go the intense "niggerism of Buchanan and
Fillmore, and who, because they are not allowed
to speak or act otherwise, hold themselves aloof
from politics. If Fremont is elected, southern
anti-slayeYy party will be born in day.
The Newark IN. J) Mercury says that the re-
suits of she late elections have changed great
many votes in that city, and we have no doubt
that they have changed great many wherever
the news has reached. The Fillmore men must
be convinced that there is not the slightest chance
for their candidate, and thousands Of them will
change their votes to Fremont, for the purpose of
defeating buchanan. At East Aurora, N Y,
the former residence of Mr.. Fillmore, they under
took to get up Fillmore ratification meeting a
few days since, but it 60. as nearly all his

forty young ladies on horseback, with their cava-
liers. In the grove speeches were made By g. T.

ons visitors.
The students Of Middlebury College are almost
unanimous for Fremont. There are only four
sectionalsts in College who oppose him.
The Republicans of Sanlac county, Michigan,
have found notable mode of saving trouble
They have adopted the entire Democratic organ
ization of the county. Every man on the county
committee, and on the township committees of
the old Democratic organization, is now a thor
ougt Fremont man so they just huff 'em be-"
The Salem Gazette mentions the significant
fact that of seven gentlemen from Southern
States, now recently visiting in the vicinity of
Salem, FIVE express their determination to vote
for Fremont, at the Presidential election and

an opportunity to do the same. One is so earn
est in the cause, that he actually took the whole
trouble and expense of journey to St. Louis,
and back, to aid in the election of Mr.. Blair
The New Bedford STANDARD says, "Among the
numerous accessions to the Fremont ranks in
this section, we may mention those old, well-tried
and influential democrats Elbridge G, Morton,
Esq, of Farhayen, and Isaac Case, Esq, of this
city,

Michigan he says, 4Seported in the american:
" He brought good news from Michigan.
The Democrats in that State are coming over
literally by counties, and in several counties,
if the vote was left to them alone, the State
would go for Fremont. He pledged the State
for Fremont by 10000 majority, and says he
won't take 5000. In private the hunkers
give up the State, and conine themselves to
saying what they can in State matters. The
West, he says, is ablaze for Fremont. He is
literally sweeping it as the Republicans have
Iowa.
Gen. John n. Purviance, leading Democrat
of Butler county, Pa. and brother of the Hon.
S. A. Purviance, member of Congress from that
District, is out for Fremont.
The Waterbury Comm Democrat added an.
other to the Fremont press ON Saturday. It has
gone for Buchanan hitherto, but it thinks it
abandons no real Democratic principle in the
course it pursues, but considers the peoples can
didate the man for the crisis.
The Johnston (Pa.) Tribune, /" disappointed
and chagrined at the action of the American State
Convention . recently held at Harrisburg, has
!" dropped the names of Fillmore and Donelson,"
and will throw its influence jim favor of the man
most likely to defeat Buchanan.
The Plymouth AdUertisey, Huron county, O.,
very respectable sheet, heretofore neutral, has
yielded to the general sentiment, and is now out
for Fremont and Dayton.
The Marshall Telegraph published in Clark
county Illinois, struck the Fillmore colors, and
hoisted the flag of Fremont and Dayton, on the
9th inst. It's reasons are worth reading. The
Marshall telegraph was the first journal in the
State that came out for Fillmore, and it it is al.
most the last to give him up. We know of but
two papers in Illinois that still adhere to their
first choice, We can't stand it no longer. Our
only chance to lick the BUCCANEERS in the Sucker
State aud quiet the slavery agitation is to unite
on Fremont. One other which has inAu-
eneed us in this course is, it pleasas the negro
drivers little too well to continue longer to bat
tie for Fillmore.
