The Only CHANCE FOR THE South 1T is
conceded now, on ull hands, that Buchanan is
without hope, in the North. Fillmore is
gaining there. If the South will rally on him,
the result will be all right.
We Must fight Fremont-Fremont is now
the sole (and most powerfully antagonist Of
MIR. Fillmore in the North. Buchanan ia al
ready distanced; there is not even hope left for
him. Let Fillmore men, everywhere, rally!

which they say:
"Knowing tina. at the present time

our candidate, Willard Fillmore; also, that
these false representations, il not cuuntrrac.

well, into giving their votes for our antag.

this circular 10 our friends abroad, to assure
them that we are well satisfied from our re.

we shall give the American ticket such !,

"Tiis is not with us now n mere hopeful
conjecture, but is based upon actual returns
made by the various clubs and associ tons,
both in this section and in the West, and we
desire our friends everywhere to be Of good
cheer. We are doing our duty, and if they
will only rally around our standard with the
same stendfastncss and devotion with which
we are working, We cannot fail to elect our

king Buchanan speeches upon the same plat

plimentary manner in which he spoke of Mr.
Speaker Banks. He then read the Hon, f.
p. Stanton's speech, made in New York, in
which he puts to the blush all charges against
Mr.. Fillmore in regard to his appointments,
and left that question of veracity TO be set
tied between Mr. stanton and Col. Smith,
with the assertion that as for him he was
disposed to give the most credence to the
witness that testifies against himself, and
that according to the rules of evidence Col
Smith. in this par ticular, could not be belev-
ed. He answered the mo chance" argument
in manner that satisfied all that it was
without foundation in truth, and showed that
Fillmore then had electoral tickets in nine
Northern States, composed of the ablest men
in them.

do good service for our party wherever he
may speak. Democracy was badly whipped,

Coop THINGS FROM HoS. DAVID PAUL
BRowS.-David Paul Brown, ut the late
great mass meeting in New Jersey, among
other good things said:
"rhe Democratic and Republican cand
dates are like two politicians the speaker
hn! heard oi, who had been nj u public lin.
ner, and drank heartily. When they started
ios home, one was drunk and the other was
not sober. One of them fcll, in the read by
the way; he called upon hIs friend for help,
and asked INN for aid, aud implorcd him as Il
brother. His friend said it would give him
the greatest pleasure in the world, but that
he also had been drinking SOME, and was not
able to help himself. Nevertheless, it it
w"nld accommodate him in the least, he
q ould lie down beside him. So said Mr..
Brown, we will let MIR. Buchanan and Ere.
mont lie dow together"
Great cheering followed that good one.
Again:
eve will show the opposition on the 4lh
OF November next what our cheering means,
We will blow them sky high. We are in
danger, and it is necessary to take warning
Unlrs, we employ our time probably, when
we come to the test, our liberty will scarce
y be w"rth preserving. Three millions Of
Foreigners are sought to be led by such de-.
mngognes as Buchanan and Fremont. They
invite them t. scdtion. Our liberties will
BE- gone If left To their influence"
We think so, too. We OF the South,
brother Brown, will sh Ike hands with you
across Mason and Dxon's line, and then we
will all shout together over n redeemed
country, IL sound flag, and the restoration
of national brotherhood.
