nation of Fremont and Dayton. the opposition OF
the Administration in aryand. Kentucky and Ten

These indications show ndsputably that the
strong Old Line Wing vote of Maryland, added To
the American vote, will undoubtedly lose that State
| to Buchanan.
| In Kentucky and Tennessee the battle is between
the Fillmore and Buchanan men with an intensity
that We have never seen surpassed IN any previous
campaign. This shows that the Americans there
have not given up the contest, but that they fight
with the vigor and ardor which is only inspired by
confidence. Louisiana is also doubtful State for
the Americans there are determined to wage Il Wig
Orons contest.
The friends of Fremont have the utmost cncour-
agemcnt to stand firm, and to work hard and they
will not only win glorious victory but will show
tho Southern Democrats that the friends of Buchail-
an have most gricvously deceived them
On the other hand, the Southern Know Nothing
organs are asserting and proclaming. with great
glee, what they are pleased to term the wholesale
dcsertion of the German vote in the free States from
the Democratic party, and all gone to Fremont.
however false these assertions may be. their object
being to injuie Mr.. buchanan in the South
Thus are the friends OF Fremont and Fillmore
giving items to one another, and playing into each
others hands, for the same stake. Neither of them
make any calculation to be elected by the people.
and the main object of both is to prevent the elec.
ton of Mr.. Buchanan so that the election may be
carried to the present House of Black Republicans
There they hope to have things their own way and
arrange the great stake TO suit their joint purposes
II is desperate game, but it must be rccollected
that it is played by desperate men, in desperate
cause, and holds out last and desperate hope
This scheme they hope to accomplish, by carrying
of, with Fremont a sufficient number OF States in
the North, and with Fillmore sufficient number of
States in the South, to prevent Mr. Buchunans cleo.

the Democratic party being in the minority, in

that of the election of Speaker Banks
Such then, win be the position of affairs, should
this scheme be successful That il is in full operation
and being prosecuted with desperate energy and

prove it beyond radiction-indecd it Is sf-e,5
demand how? From the simple facts, that Fremont,
MS against Mr. Buchanan, stands no possible chance
to he elected by the people. whilst Mr. Fillmore will
utterly fail to carry single Northern State,
the friends of each of these men are as well
convinced of the truth of these calculations as it
is possible to be of anything that has not al

or Fillmore can or will be elected by the people,
therefore no effort is necessary against each other:

ELECTION OF Mr.. BUCHANAN BY THE PEOPLE
Let all true men Of the South ponder upon these
startling Developments, and use their efforts and

hope of the South, and the only guarantee of the
