MR. FILLMORE LooKs TO A COALITION wIrH THE
RACK REPuRLICANS In TIE HOUSE OF REP


RESENTATIyES.
We should not be surprised if Mr. Fillmore finds before
the presidential election that he has overshot the
mark at which he aimed in the several discharges of his
artillery en- route from New York to Buffalo II will hardly
be denied that his ronuaeaientos designed for spe-
cia use in the few southern Suites in which he supposed
TO have chance Of If by this policy he can
withdraw the electoral of three southern
States from Mr. Buchanan he expects to defeat an election
by the people In that event have the very best
thon for knowing that he thinks he has prospects of an
election and the high authority informs us that he
hopes 10 reach the presidency through the back door by
Of the ultimate cooperation Of the North Amer
cans alias black repubcans who hold the power in the
House of Representatives He does not allow himself TO
indulge the delusion that the southern States in which
the democrats have the power will to him
He assumes, very nationally, that the democrats will
stand by Mr.. Buchanan to the bitter end but for
reason very apparent he supposes that the North
Americans alias the black republicans may be less tena
cous of their preference for Colonel Fremont II may be
that Mr. Fillmore calculates that the black republicans
will then appreciate properly than they now do his
declaration that the election Of their candidate would
suit disruption of the confedeacy and that by way of
avoiding that calamity (which is much depored by the
abotionists and saving the Union they would coaesce
with the South Americans and defeat Mr.. Buchanan.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Fmore's South American
friends will give him all the credit he entitled TO for the
exalted patriotism which impelled him to counsel the
South against submission to the Fremont rule and they
will repel with yrtuous indignation any suggestion which
mpeaches the dsnterested sincerity of his counsel He
had scarcely uttered the famous sentiment at Albany before
of his senatorial friends with undsguised satisfaction
adopted and approved it the highest evidence of his
derul devotion the Union But would not surprise
If his South American friends nd when they come to foot
up the profit and loss that his prospects in the South have
suffered more from bis calculations of in the
House of Representatives by the help Of the North Amer
republicans than they have gained by his bold denun
citation of those same North American republicans
ders 1t will be curious to hear the eloquencc
with which his southern supporters will dwell upon his
fearless warfare upon the black republican traitors but it
will be more curious to hear how they will answer the
fact that he has hopes election except in the House
of Representatives and there that his hopes rest the
of those black republican traitors If know
anything of the southern people, they have fancy for
supporting candidate who avowedy to defeat the
popular will by throwing the election into the House.
do think they will be found willing to contribute to
a result which is to be contaminated by coalition with
black republicans 1t is lamentable fact however, that
the leaders of the South Americans manifest quite much
aversion the democrats the black republicans and
on that account Mr. Fillmore may have for
his hopes of coalition in the House of Representatives
between the South Americans and the black republicans

That we may not be charged with injustice to Mr.. Fill

coalition of the South Americans and North American re-
