Eillmnra Strawa.

the side of either the Republican or Old Line
candidate But this idea is not half so strong
now as it was month ago. month hence
it will have disappeared, we think even among
the most ultra of those opposed to Fillmore.
There are visible signs in the political heavens
about these times, which are at least filling
the hearts of OIL Liners with dismay. The
North is sliding from their political grasp
Southern Old Liners are losing hope of elect
ing Buchanan, and are beginning to think
that if they do not help Fillmore, they will
be giving the Presidency to Free Soiler.
The Louisville Journal of Saturday publish
ed number of straws to show which way the
political wind is now blowing, and we avail
ourselves Of some Of its items:
Every oid line Wing paper in Virginia ex-
cept the Wheeling Intelligencer, supports Fill
more. The Washington Organ says:
We have received the proceedings of recent
Wing meetings held in Alexandria, Albemarle,
Franklin, Charlotte, Charles City, Prince Ed
ward, Portsmouth and other counties and
towns in Virginia nearly all Of which adopted
resolutions ia favor of Mr.. Fillmore.
The old line Wings of Virginia hold the
balance Of power in that State. Nearly all of
them voted for Wise in opposition to the
American party last year, and their determine
ton now to support Willard Fillmore will
secure him to the electoral vote of the Old
Dominion.
In the great State of New York over fifty
I ', tho National candidates
Fillmore and Donelson. The young men of
Buffalo have organized Fillmore and Donelson
club; and the day following its orgaHization it
numbered over fifteen hundred enrolled mem
bers.
| An ardent admirer OF Mr.. Fillmore, says the
Albany Transcript, offered to bet an entirusl-
astic Republican $12, 900 that Fillmore would
have more electoral votes than Fremont. 1t
has not been taken, and is still open for those
who have plenty Of money.
The Albany Statesman says:
There is nothing more certain than that Ru-
chanan has not the shadow of a prospect in
New York. His case is hopeless in this State
History does not furnish an instance where
candidate has gone down so suddenly as Blu
chanrn. A month ago, he was formidable; to-
day he Is out of the question There is no
human power that can save him-and we have
no idea that any other power will be exerted
in his aYer.
| In Boston, new American daily paper
called the American Patriot, has been estab-
lished to advocate the election of Fillmore and
Donelson.
| &C
writing from West Franklin, Ind says that
Fillmore and Donelson will not only receive
the support of the Americans, but that he en-
tire body OF Old Line Wings will cordially go
in their favor. If this means our West Frank
lin, then we will add that the Fillmore men
thereabouts are enthusiastic as well as strong.
We omit a couple more Indiana items given
in the Journal as the space can be better oc
cupied here by giving straws from other
States.
JAS T. Breck, of Lexington, Miss, writes:
E"We are streng Fillmore and Donelson men
out here. We are all in for the Union and the
whole Union"
w. j. Burkhead, of Oxford, Miss, in late
! letter says: +The American party with US is
in fine spirits. The Philadelphia nomina-
tions have stirred up the slumbering fires of
Americansm all the Union over. SouthernSag
NIGHTS are afraid of Fillmore"
A correspondent writes to us from Charl-
ton, Iowa.
am of the opinion that Fillmore and Dom
alison will carry Iowa. ] did not think so some
time back. The Black Republican party is
loosing ground. Democracy IS in the minority
tillmoTe must carry the State.
Hon. Nat. Albertson formerly Democratic
member of Congress from the District and
now living in Iowa, was in Evansville last
week, and declared there was no danger Of the
Democracy loosing the electoral vote of Iowa
This is simply absurd. We have recently
been in Iowa, and to be candid we do not think
either Fillmore OF Buchanan stand chance
there. The Democrats give up the State.
I A well-informed gentleman ofAshevllle, N
c., writes as follows:
, Our cause is gaining strength daily in this
section, and our prospects OF success at theen-
suing election are very datterng.
I A similar letter from Morgantown, N. c.
says: "All is right here for Fillmore and DON
elson.''
In Pennsylvania, forty newspapers have
raised the Fillmore and Doneson, flag, thirty
one are out for Fremont and Dayton, two for
Fremont and johnson, two for Fremont with
out expressing any choice for Vice President,
and eighteen that have put up no flag what
