has advantage through friends and the adj.
vantage of position, he will also encounter

they can do no more they can prevent the
nomination of any other Northern man. This
is and will be q feature in the struggle
Failing to succeed themselves, any further
than in upsetting each other, Pierce and
Douglas will not be unlikely to combine to
produce nomination after their own fashion.
And in this they will probably have the co.

they will gain Mr.. Breckenridge, and Of all
parties in the world, they care least about
men. The Democracy OF the House, there
fore, will stand firm. The 4th Of March
may come, and not man will have stray
gled from their ranks.
The Americans know that by standing
firmly together, the worst that can happen
will be the election Of a Democratic Presi-
dent. Let The 4th of March come for them,
and ii only gives them Breckenridge instead
of Buchanan. But they never can and new
er will vote for Fremont, q mere boy, with
out political knowledge or experience, who,
II he were elected, would be mere instru-
ment in the hands of the worst purposes.
The Republicans will make an earnest
struggle FOR their man, but when they see,
as see they must, that il is destined 10 be
irnilless, they will Join the Americans and
make Mr.. Fillmore President. They will
neither vote for MIR. Buchanan nor suffer
the election TO go 10 the Senate. My infor-
nation on this subject is derived from the
most intelligent and authentic sources.
The result upon the wholeis that the peo-
pie will fail 10 elect President; that the
House will elect one, and that the choice Of
the House will be Mr.. Fillmore.
But if these results were infinitely less
probable than they are, what folly it were in
the Wings, as long as there is no chance
for Mr.. Fremont, either by the people or
by the House, togive up in despair, throw
away all their contingent power of doing
good, and vote at once for Mr. Buchanan,
with all his own denominations and all the ad-
dlional denominations Of the Cincinnrti plat.
form on his head.
Let the Wings of the whole Union meet
in Council, in the city Of Baltimore, on the
9Th September. Let the old Wing banner
again float TO the breeze, and thousands and
tens Of thousands Of hearts will warm 10 it,
that are now cold and lifeless.
Let the Wings determine that Fillmore
shall be President, and the thing is done.
Mr.. Fillmore is the man for the times
We want him 10 read the riot act and keep
