Fillmore's Prospects.


Wig OSee will be promptly attended to.
Filmore's Prospects.
The Enquirer affects to consider us as only ndul-
gng in little humor in maintaining that the pre-
sent contest is between Fillmore and Fremont 1t
our ncighbor really entertans such notion concern
ing us beg leave to protest thatt is entirely mis-
taken. We simply assert proposition which We
cons.ientiously believe be true, aud which we be-
licve tn be susceptible Of perfect demonstration. No
candid man, who has free access to the organs of
public opinion in both sections Of the Union will de
nv that the reaction in favor Of Fillmore, which
commenced on his return from Europe, has widened
and strengthened with rapidity unparalleled ever
since untl ia nearly all the States North and south
the enthusiasm in his behalf Is unquestoned and nn-
Questionable IL il, therefore, matter Oi absolute
Certainty that Mr. Fllmores prospects better at
this present than that of either of his
petior> Indeed, there can be no doubt in the mind
of any impartial ard reasonable that the contest,
with all its grave and momentous issues is essential
" and enphatically between Fremont and Fillmore
tho winnings and rawlings of the Richmond Ehqu-
Ter and its allies to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The evidences are ndisputable and overwhelming,
that in the great State OF New York, Buchanan is
not in the race all The Democrats there are de-
sorting him by thousands The refractory and
dissfected portion Of the party in that State have al
ready called Convention, the object Of which is to
concentrate their entire strength upon the woolly
horse" candidate OF the Black Republicans. And
while this movement is in progress among the Abo-
litionzed wing of the Democracy, what is the state
of feeling among the national and conservative Dem
ocrAts of New York? Why, seeing that there is no
earthly chance of Buchanan obtaining the electoral
vote of that State, they beginning to appreciate
the necessity, which rests upon all welwishers TO
the Constitution and the Union, of disposing of
their suages to prevent the vote Of the State he
ing given to Fremont. We consequently find adj
dress to the Democratic electors of the State of New
York from one of their humber urging them,
by every consideration of patriotism, to cast their
votes for MILL ARD FrINoREl We suboin the adj
dress and invoke for it the earnest attention of those
who still entertain the absurd and now exploded idea,
that Buchanan is really in the contest in the Nor
them States
