Bargain and Corruption between the Bu-
canaan and Fillmore Men.

bargain ana COrrlp ptl0n between the Bu-
canaan and Fillmore Men.
The indications OF an arrangement between
the Fillmore and the Buchanan Slavery EN-
tensionists multiply on every hand,
Washington correspondent of ours reports,
in a letter which will be found In another par:
Of this paper, that the proposed combination
will be consumma.ed in the event of the de-
feat of the BUCCANEERS at the approaching
State Election in Pennsylvania Private al
vices from that State, however. inform us
that the same BUCCANEERS have already con-
cocted some scheme not Yet publicly deyei-
opcd, securing the vote of tie State IN favor
OF Border Rutfianism. and that Their despair
OF the last few days has suddenly been chang
ed to e1ultation From New Jersey We also
hear tina. Mr.. Buchanan's recent visit to that
State has resulted in an agreement 10 give
the vote OF the Buchanan men there 10 Fill

Pennsylvania. In this city We Known taa.
meeting OF the leaders OF the two factions has
Just taken place, with a view 10 comblaa-
ton on the basis of giving to Fillmore the
Democratic vote of New York, IN return Tor
which the fillmore 4kn OF Pennsylvania are
to be han led over 70 Buchanan A. the
same time. We are assured that preparations
have been made to repeat IN Penasy ylvauia the
notorious Psquernines frauds by which the
vote Of L Louisiana was secured 10 Mr.. Polk
The prolonged presence in this region of Mr..
Senator Slidell. who is believed u have had
50 considerable share in those nelavious
transactions, is naturally regarded having
something 10 do with this part oil the new
Border Rattan strategy, without which i. IS
felt Buchauln's election Is impossible.
The proposition for traficing of the votes
Of the Pennsylvania Fillmoreans for those Of
the Buchaneers Of New York was first
made by Mr. Fillmore and his adyirser a. BIf
falo before the Maine election had struck the
Slavery ExtensioRists W til astonlShmen' and
alarm. Then it was rejected by the motley
group of patriots who have Mr. Buchanan in
charge. Now, it seems, they are really to
trade and an additional evidence thai bar
gain has been arrived at, may be found in The
fact that Mr. Solomon G. Haven declines 10
be candidate for reelection to Congress in
the Buffalo district. Mr.. Haven is by lar the
shrewdest and ablest member OF the Buffalo
law firm into whose hands the disastrous
death Of Gen. Taylor committed the admins
tra.ion Of the Government. He IS Mr.. Fill
more's nearest friend and adviser; and un-
likely as il is that he could be reelected, his
relation to that gentleman makes it in1ispen-
sable that he should stand candidate.-
And vet we see that he has withdrawn from
the canvass This IS either a confession that
Fillmore has no chance in the S.ate, which is
perfectly true. but not at all natural on the
part OF Mr.. Haven; or else it indicates that
the bargain with the Buchanan men has been
concluded, and that it affords a satisfactory
reason for his abandoning the foil. The lat

These in.riLuers evidently think that they
can control the votes Of their respective fol
lowers as they would lead SO many sheep.
They think that their bargains will BE- cordi
ally adopted and executed by the rank and
file OF their forces. They imagine. too, that
by such tricks and contriyances as those we
have exposed. they put down the great
popular revolution which is sweeping over
the coun.ry. They fancy that by this system
Of truck and dicker," they obtain from
the people solemn Endorsement and approval
of the extension Of Slavery by means of
frauds, usurpaiions, civil war. murder. rob
berry and arson We tell them il Is in vain.
The handwriting stands upon the wall, and
all the conjuring of their soo.hsayers cannot
avert their doom. Freedom at last is 70 have
a victory.
