The. child {Blsck Republicanism) has
grown to Be giant under, Piercc's
fostering care, and tho Democracy
now fear that it may turn upon and
whip its parentsl And we'll may they
trcmblc. They have originated Sec
tlonai party, and ifnow it threatens to
overwhelm them in tho North, it is the
whirlwind Of their own sowing, and
they must abide the consequences. 1t
is not for us to leave our conservative
ground, andgo with them because they
have proven themselves incompetent
to administer the government. No
we have potent remedy for the evils
which now afflict our country, and that
is the election of Willard Fillmore to
the Presidency. If they desire a res
toration of harmony, and the sure per-
petuity ofthe Union, let them come to
as. Fillmore is TRIED man and TRUE.
The Locofocos have no ground for
the assertion that Fillmore cannot be
elected. On the contrary, every day
adds to his strength and to the active
devotion of his friends. The conserv-
ative elements are blending together in
Fillmore's favor. In view of the influ-
ences now at work in the Presidential
arena, we utter our deliberate opinion,
and refer to the issue of the campaign
for its correctness, that Buchanan can
not and will not carry single State
North of Mason & Dixon's Line, and
Fremont cannot and will not carry one
State South of it. Buchanan cannot
carry Northern State because the
Cincinnati Platform embraces and en-
dorses the A administration Kansas pro-
positions, which have rendered the
name Of Pierce q by-word and his adj
ministration irredeemably unpopular
throug bout the North. Fremont can
not carry a Southern State because he
represents Northern sectional party.
Buchanan's abolition antecedents are
not palateable to the South, notwith-
standing the white-washing of Cincin-
natl resolutions, as evidenced in the re-
.pudiation Of his nomination in South
Caroline. But Fillmore, running as
the great Union candidate, has the
confidence of both sections, and will
receive the hearty support of the con-
sentative masses North and South
Fillmore will carry New York, Massa-
chusctts, New Jersey, Maryland, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, N. Carolina, Louisi-
ana, Missouri, Delaware, Rhode Island,
Florida, Georgia, and Indiana, with a
fair prospect of Alabama and Texas,
and Virginia, if we do our duty and
deserve it. We may not get all those
States, first named, nor do we need
them to elect Fillmore; but sufficient
has transpired'to indicate strongly that
Fillmore will receive their electoral
votes. Pennsylvania We regard as GER
tain to go against Buchanan, though
we cannot yet give her to Fremont-it
will take the events of the next month
to determine her true position. What
then becomes of the hue and cry, Fill
more can't be elected?' fn the light
of reason and common sense it is dissi-
patcd into thin air. ../
AMERICANS, push on your columns;
listen to the voice of your country, and
turn a deaf ear to thehypocritical side
issues raised by your encmies--fght on
fhgt ever for your principles-steer
clear of the gull-traps that are every
where set to cnsnare your feet. Stand
fast to tho Union and the Constitution,
to Fillmore and Donelson, and all will
be well. Doubt not--falter not.
FILLMORE CAN BE ELECTED.
