The Carolina Times published at Co.

the Presidential candidates in its issue o
last Friday:
"Ifwe were compelled to choose be
tween Buchanan, Fillmore and Fremont
we would prefer casting our vote for Mil.

garding him at the same time as only a
shade better than the two other candidates
for the Presidential chair.

that the North and South cannot contn.

resulting from their peculiar Institutions,
we are, and always have been, since

Fillmore IN PennSylp "nia.-|Ihe Phil,
adelphia Inquirer Of the 9th inst, says:
A Great Mass Meeting ofthe friends Of
Millard Fillmore will be held at Penn
Square, this evening. This will be the
last demonstration of the kind connected
with the preliminary campaign to termin.
ate at the ballot boxes on Tuesday next
and we therefore infer that thousands
will be in attendance. Some of the most
distinguished men Of the country have
been invited, and eloquent addresses may
be anticipated. The Fillmore cause
the cause of the Union and the ConStitu.
tion--has many ardent and enthusiastic
supporters in PhiladeI pha. They may
be found in all classes and conditions OF
li(e-among the rich and the poor-among
the Bankers, the Merchants and Manu-.
Iacturers, as well as the Storek eepers, the
Mechanics, the Operatives and the Day
Laborers. If Philadelphia could elect a
President, there would be little doubt as
to the result. But the prospect--all the
circumstances considered-s full of en-.
couragement. 1t has greatly improved
within few months, and it must continue
to improve until the day Of the election.
Much will depend upon the result ofthe
struggle on Tuesday next. If on that oc.
casion, Mr.. Buchanan should be defeat.
ed in his own State and by heavy major.
ity, he will in effect be Withdrawn as
candidate. for the Presidency, and the
great body Of his friends will ofnecessity,
be compelled to support Mr.. Fillmore
This is admitted even by some Democrat.
ic leaders themselves. But whatever may
happen, it is the duty Of every Wing and
Conservative to stand by the cause and
the candidate to the last. And in this
spirit we urge an imposing demonstra.
ton this evening. Let our friends gather
together all their strength, determined at
least to deserve signal victory.

Buck Horn.

The Buchanan officials Washing
ton city. got up meeting near Silver
Spring, the residence Of Francis p.
Blair, on which occasion Transparent
cy having very offensive inscription
was displayed near his house, and
a hickory pole raised, from the top of
which an American flag hoated, sur
mounted by a Bucks skull and horns.
Upon the appropriateness Of this en-
blem Mr.. Blair, in letter to his neigh
Dor. makes the following comments;
What an emblem to be exalted above
the flag of the country and on the hck.
ory tree which has given its name to one
oIits greatest heroes OF all animals
the deer is the most tmid, and although
the head Of the buck is at one season Of
the year armel with a multitude Of points
as sharp as spears, it never conrronts an
enemy when it can escape with flying
feet. The grand antlers are the mere EN-.
blem of warike prowoss, and evidence
only ofthat species Of gallantry that dis.
tinguishcs the stag, and gives TO class Of
gentry of our species, the name Of buck,
whether young or old.
The old buck is a sort Of old bachelor,
like his fellow Of the woods, addicted to
no mate, and whose ensignia of horns,
have, time out Of mind. been held to
characterize his pursuits. Is this an en-.
sign to be exalted above that Of the coun.
try and chosen to exenp!ify the virtues of
one who aspires to the Chief Mag giStracy?
If the crowning virtue bo attributed to the
coronet which distinguishes the old bucks
head and which now takes the place Of
the liberty cap ON the democratic banners,
it should be remembered that it is virtue
that comes and goes with tho season -
An old backs horns begin . bnd and
grow in The bamy spring .i,ae--they are
in the velvet in June, and throug hout the
summer. This smooth covering is slip.
ped off in October. In November their
vitality is bIightcl, anl in March the
crown Of weather beaten antlcrs drop
from the old bucks brow, a1l he hides,
droops in solitude, abandoned by all his
fellows. The hunters Of the A!eghanics
and of our frontiers will apply this piece
Of natural history, and interpret its au-
gury.
