Here is snut for the Cleavelaader to,
crack. In "a recent speech, the Hon. josiah
Quincy, j, of Boston, asserted that of his
own knowledge, Mr. Fillmore, while at
Rome, was constant worshipper in the
Catholic Church, and very frequently re-
ceived the benediction of the Pope. The
Boston Telegraph understands that Mr..
Quiucy's statement on this point will soon
be printed in an authentic form.
Mr.. C. B. DEMO, Cleveland mechanic,
whose effective speeches in 1910 many will
remember, now resides at =Galena, Illinois,
and is stumping for. Fremont. The Chica-
go Press says, '.ME DEMO is most inter-
esting speaker. and is a fine specimen of
one of those Greasy Northern Mechanics
at which Mr.. Buchanan's Alabama organ,
the Muscogee Herald, has been recently
turning up its aristocratic nose.n
The Hon. Charles Reemelin, the popular
German orator, has returned from Europe,
and is ON the stump in Hamilton county
for fremont. a.. 80 I'd, 7--...G css
The Fillmourners have carried the city
of Baltimore by 1,744 majority, and lost
the State of Delaware, by about the same
majority. --.s,s,-
Senator Seward, in his able speech at
Detroit, thus spoke of the Presidential can
didates:
"As little shall l dwell on merely person.
al partialities or prejudiees affecting the
candidates of public trusts. Each fitly
personates the cause he represents. Be-
yond doubt, Mr.. Buchanan is faithful to
the slaveholding class, as Mr.. Fillmore vac
illates between it and its opponents. l
know Mr.. Fremont aceu, and when l say
that know that he combines ertraordina-
ry genius and u1aquestionable sincerity of
purpose Nth usual naodesty, I am sure that
YOU will admit that he is true representa-
tive of the cause of Freedom
Down South, next to disunion, the great
question seems to be which is the best pro-
slavery candidate, Buchanan or Fillmore.
The Charleston Courier, Richmond En-
quirer, DC. insist upon it that Mr.. Buchan-
an is the only candidate the South can re-
" mon. while the Tennessee, Kentucky,
and other K. N. journals insist that MIR.
Fillmore is a better pro-slayery man than
Mr.. Buchanan. The Louisville Journal
publishes couple of columns to prove it,
including several letters from Mr.. F., and
closes with the following remark:
1t miH be seen from these letters that
Mr.. Fillmore occupies precisely the same
position in regardto the Slavery question
that the South has alVays contended for.
1t is noted fact, that the only Union
destroyers and Union savers at this time
are the Buchanan men of the South, and
the BUCCANEERS and Fillmourners of the
North. Wise, Slidell, Toombs, Brooks,
Keitt, & Co., swear they will destroy the
Union as soon as Fremont is elected, and
their threats give the Buchanan and Fill
more orators and papers at the North the
worst kind of cholic. They at once
"Shed whole pints of tears,
And wipe 'em on their sleeves"
The St. Louis Republican misrepresents
when it says the Republican party offers to
the nation the alternative, Fremont or Dis
union. The Republican is the true Union
party. No Fremonter threatens disunion
in case ofBuchanan's election. The threats
all come from, Buchanan's supporters. We
trust the Republican does not also misrep
resent when it says:
''The national Buchanan party offer no
such dire alternative, nor will they counte-
nance any threats of dissolution of the Un-
ion, upon the election of Fremont shauld
so deplorable an event transpire.
E. Lee, Esq, placed in nomination for
Judge by the Buchaniers of Ashtabula,
Lake and Geauga District, has declined
and goes for Judge Wilder, the Republican
candidate. -.

John Van Buren failed to attend the
"Grand Democratic Jubilee in Cleveland.
Perhaps the "peremptory damnation" he
invoked on himself in 1s4s if he ever op-
posed the principles of the Buffalo plat
form, has at length overtaken him, and his
"tongue cleayes to the roof of his mouth"
The Louisville Journal often talks right
out. In noticing the death of Tabler, of
the Charleston Mercury, in a duel by a
fellow disunionist, ii says:
'The whole of the Buchanan population
Of South Carolina is divided into these two
sorts of secessionists or disunionists, and it
seems that the exasperation between the
two sorts is fierce and bitter enough to in
cite them to blood. Both sorts are equally
traitors, and, although we can use no harsh
epithets towards the dead, we say that all
of South Carolina's living traitors, no mat
ter what class of disunionists they belong
to, might render the country a service by
killing each other as fast as possible"
Some of the Southern editors have evi-
