is assuredly strange way to eiectloneer ior ooutn
ern support for Mr. Fmores friends to tell the people
of the South, that if Mr.. Fillmore withdraws OF De
forced 10 withdraw, his Northern supporters Will go
for Fremont Now believe that this Is pretty
near the fact The great majority OF the Northern
sunnorters OF Mr.. Fillmore would go for Fremont:
bnt is il with such men, such party such supper
ters candidate SO supported that the people OF the
sorth are expected to act? Does any one expect to
hear or read of such arguments being urged to stimu
late the people to vote for Mr.. Buchanan Do the
Democrats of the North so talk Do they In any
emergency threaten to 60 for Fremont' Such thing
ia never dreamed of Time and again has the De
mocracy of the North been Frustrated because OF ITS
devotion to the rights of the States. Time and again
has it raised the banner of the Constitution and under
that banner fought and conquered If that be Sec
tionalism the more of such sectionalsm have the
better.
We notice that the senior editor of the Fayette-
vile Observer, writing from New York under date
of the 18th ns after recounting the disasters to the
Fillmore forces in recent elections, thinks it "que
possible that Mr.. Fillmore may be Withdrawn, or
may withdraw himself. under these accumulated dis
asters." Well, we canno, say. Upon the whole, we
supporters be such as that in the event of his with
drawal they would 60 over TO Fremont, the South
only regard them as enemies under whatever guise
they may show themselves; still It may be desirable
to create division in the enemies ranks, and the
running of Mr.. Fillmore may be beneficial, not 10
bring US friends, but 10 distract enemies. But
run or no run, the Democratic party is prepared to
fight the fight uraided if Necessary, against the enc
mics of the Constitution and the rights of the States
against them united or against them divided. But
| tn party will not fight unalded. The national men
will rally-are now raIlying TO its support, and
whether Mr. Fillmore stay in the field withdraws
from it, the Democratic party and its noble allies will
meet and conquer all the isms of the day.
The South is not to he driven from ner position by
being told or having it hinted, that if she goes for
Buchanan then the national supporters of the Nation
al Fillmore will go for Fremont. 1t they true
men they will do no such thing. If they are such
traitorous aboitonists 10 do what is limited at,
then the sooner the South knows ii the BETTER and
the sooner the line is drawn the better. Her rights
not 10 be held by suerance by the tenure of her
giving her support 10 Mr. Fillmore, under the threat
that if she DON'T his northern friends his northern
fellow free State will punish her by going into
the ranks of her worst enemies, we'll the worst
enemies of their Country.
RlcH-The attempt of the Know Nothing presses
one day to prove the Democratic party an Abolition
party, and the next day to warn the people against
ii as Southern sectional party They tried the first
game until they found by the result of the South
elections, that the Southern people were to be
fooled by such humbug. Nop they preach up as
the only national man and party that against which
North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri
have just recorded their verdict in the most unmis-
akeabIe manner. TIE game is now to tell the peo-
pie of the South, if not in so many words, yet as
plain language need make it that if they go for
the Democratic candidates and for Mr.. Fillmore,
then the Northern friends of said national candidate
will go for Fremont. We want them to keep at this
and we will see how the South will respond. If that
is the game, the the South knows it the better
We tell them that the National men at the North
will follow the lead of such men as Rufus Choate,
a stronger and ADLER than ever Mr.. Fillmore
was, before they will be roped in to the support OF
the protege of General Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs,
the great voucher for Mr.. Flmore's Know Nothing
ism.
I Now let make remark or two in all calmness
and sincerity, and however our opponents may differ
from US III our pOlluCaI VIEWS, we tDlnk lney Will
give credit for fair share of discrimination in
calculating political results, and reasonable amount
of caution in expressing decided opinions upon such
matters. From no vague travelling correspondence
no foolish railroad steamboat votes, but from
the private opinions of those who we'll posted
and every way qualified 10 form and express reliable
} opinions upon the of events at the North
who reside there, and while residing there perfectly
coincide with in all essential matters-from these
we feel authorized in saying that there remains
no sort of question that Mr. Buchs nan will receive
the votes of very respectable number of Northern
States-indeed his chances the best in all those
States where national feeling is known to exist
t Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, New Hampshire
Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, and California are
confidently expected to 60 for Buchanan, while New
York. Wisconsin and Michigan among the doubt.
fnl, but are becoming every day more probable fol-
, Buchanan Ohio is not without hope but still the
Abolition faint is very strong. Of Massachusetts
Vermont, Rhode Island and we fear Iowa. there are
2 no hopes
We cannot see any way in which fair calculation
E can show anything less than highly respectable
vote for Mr.. Buchanan the North. In fact be is
the only Presidential candidate for whom votes can
be reasonably expected at the North and at the South
AS national man he will get the South AS the
representative of national party, having national
supporters he will get electoral votes at the North

his own nationality, has any national supporters a,
