We frankly confess we were disappointed at the
result Of the late election. The majority is consid-
erably larger than we expected, ten thousand was
the limit Of our calculations But the disappoint-
ment is certainly most agreeable one and the fact
that we obtained more than we claimed on this oc-
casion, may furnish us with some slight excuse for
making aprediction for November. We believe that
Mr.. Buchanan will carry the State by from fifteen
to twenty thousand majority. Hundreds Of old line
Wings who voted for Mr.. Gilmer, will vote in No
venber for Mr. Buchanan. We believe, furthermore,
that Mr.. Buchanan will be elected by the people {;
that his majority in the Electoral College, will be
but little less than that of President Pierce over
Gen. Scott and that Mr.. Fillmore will not obtain a
single Electoral vote. The contest is between ma
tona. and sectional party, and the issue is Union
or Disu'sion. The Southern States will vote in a
body for Mr.. Buchanan and the people of the Nor
them States already aroused to sense of impend-
ing danger will give him from sixty to eighty Eec-
toral votes. We have great confidence in the patri-
otto conservative portion of the Northern people,
1he battle for oar rights is really being fought By
them; and if the South should go, as we believe she
will, as unit for James Buchanan, our Northern
friends will do the balance. Black Republication
will be crushed down and silenced for season, and
the Union will be rescued from the dangers that
threaten its destruction.

MESSRS CHOATE, EVANS AND FARLEY FOR BUCHAN.
AN!-There was an immense mass meeting of the
democracy and old line Wings at Waltcrsvle, Maine
on the 18th inst, at which speeches were made by
Eons. George Evans and E. W. Farley, old line
Wings, and letter was read from Rufus Choate, of
Massachusetts, in favor of Buchanan. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. Evans said
If We have no flag Of our own flying if we have no
trumpet to call us as wings it, amid the smoke and dust
fag of the Union flying where if amid the noise and
din Of arms bear the trumpet of the Union sounding
the rally shall not stop to inquire who leads the forces
that protect it"
This announcement was received with great ap-
plause. The Boston Post says: :
can eloquent and characteristic letter was then read
from Hon. Rufus Choate in reply to an invitation to be
eaes his views Of the duties of wings in the
of political affairs the country The first duty OF whigs
he says because they wings is to unitewith
ganzaton to defeat and dissolve the geographical
party calling itself republican Believing the noble ship
Of state to be within half cables length of lee shore

Washington Madison, Clay and Webster decided
mote and improbable contingency is upon U.S. Yet some
traveller in the satire with his pockets empty present
peril, the mere apprehension Of which, as distinct and
his Country and dictate the aud grand warning of
the farewell address. Considering what men are MIR.
party as the republican ought to be expected naturally
and probably to disunte the states but with his undoubt-
ed convctions would be folly and immortality to risk it,
As between the candidates before the country he says
be shall not venture to counsel the wings of Maine but he
deems due to ankness and honor to that while he
entertans high appreciation of Mr. Fillmore he does
sympatse with the objects Of the party that nominated
him. Practically the contest is between Mr. Buchanan
and Col. Fremont. In these circumstances he SHOULD
GIVE HIS VOTE FOR MR.. BUCHANAN! His capacity
is universally acknowledged; his life is without stain
aud he represents completely than any other that
sentiment of nationalty-toleran and comprehen-
sve-without which America is no longer America"
Great applause followed the reading of this letter.
Hon. Mr.. Farley, before reading it. declared that he
fully concurred with MIR. Choate.
Our Northern friends are fully aroused. Messrs.
Benjamin, of La. and Cobb ard Stephens, of Ca.
have been speaking in the Northern States with
great effect. They were received everywhere by
the Democracy in the most enthusiastic manner.

have lost one in Brunswick, one in Carteret one in

H" Mr.. Fillmore is tho strongest man." was
the declaration of the X. N. leaders in the South,
previous to the North Carolina, the Kentucky and
the Arkansas elections and in this way was hoped
that old line Wings would be prevented from acting
with the Democrats. Mr.. Graham, Mr.. Gilmer, Mr..
Boydcn, Mr. IIaughton, Mr.. Rayner, and others,
were long and oud in utterng this declaration but
the people have extinguished this idea by thirteen
thousand majority in this State, and by thousands
in Kentucky and Arkansas.
Mr. Rayner wrote letter, dated Raleigh, July
80, to some X. Ms in Wilmington, Delaware, which
has been published; and in it he said
"There wonderful reaction going over the entire
South in favor of Mr. Fillmore. people are waking

The COLOSSUS OF THE ADVERTISING WORLD
The Press AND THE PEoPLE.-It is estimated that
the entire newspaper press of the world reaches
about two hundred millions of it's inhabitants, and
as the advertising system of Professor Holloway
covers the whole of this extensive medium for the
Communication of intelligence, We may safely pre-.
sumo that fourth of the adult population of the
globe familiar with the properties of his med-
cines. The annual cost of maintaining an uninter-
mitted intercourse with so large portion of man
kind, through the agency of the press, is necessari
ly enormous and VIC can state from the data. laid
before us that it equals the combined revenues of
two first class States of the Union. From these
facts some idea may be formed of the consumption
Of his remedies. Wherever they become known by
advertisement and thus obtain trial. demand for
them is created which soon produces immense re-
turns, thus atfording capital for their further
diffusion In this way, with gigantic strides, these
grand specifics are traversing every region of the
EARTH raising thousands Of hopeless sufferers from
their sick BEDS curing disease in all its terrible
forms, Strengthening the weak relieving agony, and
infusing new life aRd vigor into mutitudes of de-
crepit human beings, bowed down with desponden-

icnes has been without check from their introduce
ton to the present day. Of the millions to whom
they have been administered not has questioned
their efficacy. They stand unimpeached before the
world The feeble opposition raised against them
in some quarters by professional envy and selfish
ness has been borne down by the overwhelming
weig ht of public opinion, and they have passed over
all impediments alike into the palace, the private
mansion the hospital, and the dispensary. The
