BIZ TORTOISE EXPRESS TO THE PATRIOT.

@@-@A AsA~'S
At the election in Missouri last August, the dem.
ocratic candidate, TRUsTEN Polk, was elected Gov
ernor by several Thousand majority. 1t was at
first supposed that the know-nothing candidate for
Lieutenant Governor was elected, but the official
returns corrected the report, as we have seen it
stated, and showed the democratic candidate to be
elected.
But the Patriot has a special telegrsphic des-
patch from Cincinnati, stating that the know-noth-
ing candidate for Governor was elected. This will
be rare news for the Missouri know nothings, when
they get to hear it'll The Patriot could doubtless
dispose of large edition of its paper in that State
for it msy be sure that nobody there has the news
We suggest too, that it publish despatch from
Virginia, to the effect that WISE was beaten in
that Stated 1t might also announce GEETRY's
election in this StatelI
Seriously--we have seen too much to wonder
that somebody might send such a despatch as that
to the Patriot, from Missouri by the way of Gin
cinnati All we wonder at is, that the Patriot
would print it. We shall see how it will explain

AHEAD OF THE PATRIOT

The Knoxville Register, of the 23d, was full of
statements that the democrats were beaten in
Pennsylvania; and it even went the length of
printing, as genuine, letter from Mr.. Buchanan
declining to be any longer candidate. This is
rather ahead Of the Patriots despatch from Gin
cinnst, announcing the election Of know moth
ing Governor in Missouri last August. The motto
of know nothing papers, and of their readers should
be, in the striking language OF Scripture, "Whst

FfLIaoRErsM ILLUSTRATED IN New YoRK.-The

has been recently illustrated in New York, the

THE ISSuEI

There is but one thing now to be determined ::
shall the President be elected by the people or by
the House of Representatives. That is..the ques.
ton.
Since the recent elections in Pennsylvania, In
diana and Connecticut, it is evident that Fremonts
only chance is in getting the election before the
House.
No one contends that Mr.. Fillmore has the ghost
of chance before the people. The only result
therefore, in voting for him is, by possibility to aid
Fremont in throwing the election before the House.

From the PENNSYLVANIA,

PLAIN WORDS TO FILLMORE MEN OF THE SOUTH
If we are to believe the Fillmore men of the
South, that they are as heartily opposed to John
G. Fremont, and to aboLtionism as we OF the
Democratic party, they will rejoice, if they are
honest, over the rebuke administered 10 this man
Fremont, and his hackers in Pennsyl vania, on
the 14th of October If they do not SO rejoice,
then they are very little better off than those who
grieve over it in this city. At any rate they will
be compelled to acknowledge two things, because
they are patent and prominent facts. They will
be compelled to acknowledge that the party which
bruised the head of the serpent, Abolitonism, in
Pennsylvania, was the Democratic party, and they
will also be compelled to acknowledge that the
party which assisted John @. Fremont's State
ticket in Pennsylvania, was the so.caled Fillmore
party.
If there is an honest Southern man favorable to
Fillmore, he will see in this state of facts where bis
duty lies, and will give up the pretence of sup
porting Fillmore, and the reality of assisting Ere
mont at the same time, and come out for James
Buchanan like man. He will see that it is folly
for any man now to deny that the Fremont and
Fillmore leaders in Pennsylvania have co operated
in favor of the Abolition State ticket and that he
can no longer associate with those who are con.
stsntly endesvoring to PROSTATE him and the in
stitutions of his people.

The Union Convention at Harrisburg yesterday
after much confusion, resulted in another fusion
of know-nothngs and black republicans for the
presidential campaign in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. ERIE, of Somerset, offered the following
resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we hereby pledge ourselves to
each other, and to the people Of the State that we
will use every honorable exertion in our power to
secure the of the electoral ticket this day
recommended to the people of Pennsylvania for
their support on the following basis subjoined; and
we also express the confident hope that its success
will be complete and entire on the fourth day of
November next: Twenty .six electors shall consist
of the same names, the twenty-seventh elector on
the Fillmore ticket shall consist of different name
from the twenty-seven on the Fremont ticket
For example: Willard Fillmore and twenty six
other names selected from the several Congression
al districts shall form one ticket, and John c. Free
mont and the same twenty ak names above refer
red to shall form the other ticket. The twenty six
electors shall be pledged to cast the electoral votes
of the Stale for Willard Fillmore and John G. Fre-
mont respectively, precisely in proportion to the
popular votes cast for each as indicated by the
twenty seventh elector on each ticket For ex-
ample: if Willard Fillmore, or the twenty seventh
elector who represents him, receives an equal
number of votes with John G. Fremont or bis rep
resentative then thirteen electoral votes shall be
given for Willard Fillmore and A. ]. Donelson,
and thirteen for John G. Fremont and W. L Day

bd~ The recent fusion of the know uothings

its open approval by the know nothing press and
