STOP THAT FAIsEHoOD.
A friend in New York writes:

see by Southern papers. that the Demo-
cratic party all over the South and West, have
again turned out to "sAvE TUE UNION" which
they alternately nearly destroy, and then try

and particularly the Wings, must come in

consistent and patriotic statesman, the tried
friend Of Wig principles and the Immortal
Clay, and with their Shiny tongues and hypo-
critical cant, 1t seems they have in many in
stances seduced into their ranks, honest, pat
rlotic Wings, and Union loving and abiding
men; how any man with his reason about
him, and the chances to inform himself, with
the soul of Wing or drop of American
blood in his veins, will allow himself to be
thus duped, deceived and led away into
the ''eneDaies camp" TO be laughed at after
wards for his credulity, is more than l can
conceive-support the man, the party, who
have been without a shadow of turning" the
uncompromising enemies, traducers and re-
vilers of the Wing party; who have on all
occasions when IN their power, turned them
from place and power, regardless Of merit or
qualifications, for the last thirty years; sup.
port the party that has turned out of house
and home nearly every avowed Protestant
American from Maine to California, who has
been at their mercy or in their employment
for the last two years; support the nominee
who has bound himself to 90 and do like.
wise; such credulity, such stupidity in full
grown men is amazing. The Republican
party here have been pursuing the same
course precisely, only that they ray "Ftiinnore
cannot get a single Southern State" and thus
these two revliers of the Wing and American
parties, are trying to bolster mp their own
tottering fortunes, to stiffen their own back
bones and present to the world show Of de-
cency of numbers by barefaced SANDER, and
premeditated falsehood; for every intelligent
man amongst them knows these assertions to
be groundless. false; every man South knows
Fillmore will get Southern States, and every
man of sense North, knows he will get North
ern States, and vice versa, yet their constant
cry is 81 would like to vote for Fillmore but
there is not the shadow of a chance for him,
the election is between Fremont and Buchdn'
an, and thus they keep up this bush-whack-
ing cry to draw off the timid and unsuspect
ing from man and party which they fear
MORE infinitely more than all others. Blr.
Fillmore's hold upon the affections of the
American people, Mr.. Fillmore's uncompro'
missing integrity and personal independence,
as exhibited in his speeches since his nomina-
ton, as shown through his whole life, strikes
terribly upon their corrupt and tottering
frames, and causes them to tremble in their
shoes, as men suddenly smitten with the
plague. Take from the Democratic party in
the North, its saltpetre, its cannon, its whis'
key and its office holders, and at their great
est demonstrations there would not be cor
poral's guard, and their calls would fall upon
the public ear like the treacherous ejacula
tions of a sworn enemy, only to be unheeded
and despised. Take from the Republican
party its hired and unprncipled minions, its
bought up and unprincipled presses, its Ma
raposa and "Kansas Fund" Colo, and the
lestered phrenzy of a temporary but distract
ed sectional bigotry, and their meetings would
be further apart than angels visits to sinners.
Now, profess to have visited all the larger
gatherings held of all the parties. have
seen their banners listened to their music
and their orators, witnessed their explosions,
heard their huzzas and read their reports,
and must conscientiously say that for num-
bers, responsibility, for order, for talents and
for genuine enthusiasm, speaking from the
heart through the countenance OF the man,
none are comparable to the american Meet
ings, whether in the wards. in large halls or the
broad parks. Now will speak of the great
State of New York. with it have been familiar
and have been politically aud actively en-
gagged in its politics for three years, and youI
readers may rely on my statements. The
American party in 1854 polled 10000 votes
without the aid ola single paper: in 1855
with but two or three, they swept the State
and rolled up nearly 10000 votes eleeting
every officer but one, and now that they
have about 40 papers what can they not dof
| say they are infinitely stronger now than
they have ever been in all points, better or
ganized, better disciplined and more enthusi.
astic and with Fillmore for President and
Brooks for Governor no other party can com
pete with or stand up before them! besides
their native strength they now have the
whole Wing party, the American Protestant
Association and the order Of United Ameri-
cans; three reliable and powerful parties
with their aid ard immense outside sympa-
thy they are inuinci6le and will sweep the
State by thousands majority; this may be re.
lied on as certain as the world stands till
November; it is fact conceded here by both
Democrats and Republicans, mean well in
formed men, who declare their honest senti-
ments; ard about New Jersey there is not
doubt as she is canvassed every two weeks
from center TO circumference; tnen tnere is
Massachusetts,, Connecticut Ohio and Penn
sylvania that will be more certain for Fill
more than any one else, for in all these States
the foreign element is divided and will break
the spine of both Republicans and Demo.
Gratis, whilst Fillmore has the undivided
American, Protestant, and nearly the whole
Wing strength, and in all these States nigh
ty but silent revolution is going on and an
under but all.pervadng current that is rising
and swelling and spreading and will yet de-
velope itself in Filmore's favor to the aston
ishment and dismay of all his opponents
Delegates will be at Baltimore from all the
free States to the Wing National Convention;
electoral tickets will be gotten mp where 1T
is done with the abest men upon them, and
most vigorous fight made even where sue
cess is not expected. The whole Northern
mind is disgusted with the fierce dynasty
and all its heirs; and as no sane man here
pretends to hope for Fremonts election Fill
more will receive the vote of all constitu-
tional conservative men who are not controll-
ed by dollars, stupidity or hydropho6ia. The
North is looking intensely to the South to
stand by Fillmore; | mean the National
North; will you desert, will yon deceive heri
