THE VERMONT AND MAINE ELECTIONS
The annihildtiOn of the Democracy in Ver-
mont and Maine, as demonstrated by tho
State election, is well calculated to open the
eyes of the Southern people to the fact that
there is no Democratic party al the North
Their presses and orators at the South may
boast as largely as they please, but facts and
fgureS-which cannot be misunderstood.
show that the Democratic strength in the nom
slaveholding States is thing that was--a
power that has been oblterated and has pass
ed away. In the little State of Iowa II is
beaten eight to ten thousand votes; and in the
small State of Vermont, having only three
Representatives in Congress, it is beaten by
the unparalleled majority of twenty thousand
votes; while in Maine the party is completely
overwhelmed. Probably four.ffths of the
voters of Vermont have thus declared their
hostility to Buchanan. 1t being thus apparent
that he stands no earthly chance of obtaining
the votes of these States, should not patri-
otic regard for the constitution and the Union
induce the Democracy of Iowa, Maine and
Vermont to withdraw their electoral tickets
(f they have any and allow fair and square
fight between Fillmore and Fremont! They
now see that they cannot hope to prevail
their strength is so inconsiderable as to de-
prve them even of hope of smuggling in
their electors through the division of the
other parties, for they cannot rally even one
third of the voters for Buchanan; and where
the prospect is so hopeless, it must be the
part of wisdom to Withdraw from contest
that can only embarrass the other national
party, which may be able yet to retrieve the
fortunes of the field and save those States
from the clutches of factionists and sectional
agitators.-- Columbus Enquirer. ia'f

ANOTHER BASE TRICK EXPOSED.

Democratic and Republican papers are re-
publishing what purports to be the proceed

renouncing Fillmore and going over to Fre-
mont An Iowa correspondent Of the Wash.
ington Organ brands this rascally counterfeit
MS follows
lam happy to inform you that the cause Of
MIR. Fillmore is fast gaining ground in Iowa
The Fremont party ARE becoming fully sensi.
BILE of their misery, and iD their last agonies
of despair are shopping TO means of the most
degrading and unprincipled that the most
polluted heart could devise to keep up II
semblance OF life in an expiring cause. They
have forgotten the dignity of men of honor,
and are pldnging into the lowest and dirtest
pools of falsehood and degradation, to fish for
phantoms that may give them the faintest
gleam of the most distant hope of even ap-
parent life. As an instance:
In the issue Of their organ of August 90,
called the 'Oskaloosa Herald" appears an
article purporting to be the proceedings of
the "American State Council of Iowa." which
resolves the reputation of Fillmore and
DoneIson and endorses the nomination of
Fremont. Now, sir, this whole affair is a
fiction, a base libel, a forgery gotten up by
four or FIVE Fremont men, for the purpose of
attempting to make the impression abroad
that the Fillmore party in Iowa have repudi-
ated their standard bearer, and endorsed the
unworthy Abolition candidate, Fremont
There was no meeting of the Council at Os-
kaloosa as the pretended record claims, nor
was any such meeting expected or thought
of-ihis publication being base libel, gotten
up without the semblance of anything to give
it birth, but the base and unpTincipled perfdy
of those few that manufactured it.
Youwill no doubt see the "bogus proceed
ng" in your exchanges, and will promptly
refute the lying scheme. We hope the per.
petrators of such base falsehoods will meet
the just rebuke they well merit from the
hands of all honest and Union.loving men
and American citizens. Let their shame be
fully and firmly exposed

"There is lull in the Kansas war,
which is probably the forerunner of peace.
The army of Mssourians recently rendez.
voused near Westport Cor the invasion of
the territory is dsbanded. Much the larger
force of the men composing it have returned
home, leaving small force of two or three
hundred men, under Gen. Reid, TO protect the
torritory. The cause of the break up was
this:
After the affair at Ossawattomie the men
under Reid called out to be led against Law
renee right off, that they might terminate the
war bv the capture of that place. The lead
ers, conscious Of the impossibility of succeed
ing in such n hazardous enterprise with such
IN undisciplned force, refused to march on
Lawrence, and fell back on their base of ope-
rations on the Missouri border. The men
became dtheartened and refused to submit to
the severe drilling system which was insti-
tuted in the camp, and which experience has
demonstrated to bo absolutely essential to
enable the proslavery army to make head-
way against the thoroughly organized and

STILL ANOTHER FRAUD ExPosED.-One OF
our American speakers, not long since, come
across in Jackson county, paper purporting
to be published in Middletown, N. Y, in
which Mr.. Buchanan was held up as a
friend of the South and Mr.. Fillmore as the
opposite. In the N. Y. Express of the llth
inst, we find the following exposure of this
unique fraud. What will the enemies of the
American party resort to next! Great is
their inventive genius!
The SOUTH BEING HuMBusGED BY BucH-
AEAN.-A paper is printed in Middletown,
Orange CO., N. Y, "a town with about 1000
inhabtants,)-- purpose to circulate South,
and apparently for no other purpose,--as il is
u paper not known out Of the town where it
is printed, and scarcely known there. The
circulation, however, is large in Tennessee
and Alabama, and other Southern Siates,--
and the object of giving it that circulation,
seems to be, to paint Buchanan as ultra
Southern, and the Northern democracy all
Southem,-whie Fillmore and his friends
are all abolition, &c.

the Republicans roundly declare that Mr..

the Buchanan met as roundly declare that
Mr.. Fillmore stands "no chance" OF carry
ing Northern State. The policy of both IS
to cry down the American candidate, II
possible, and win over his friends to their
support. Sometimes they change the song,
and in the free States, the Republicans
swear that the supporters of Buchanan and
Fillmore ara fusing with view to defeat
Mr.. Fremont; whilst, in the slave States, the
Buchaniers swear that the supporters of
Fremont and Fillmore are fusing to beat

Well, this wholesale Abolitonstmanufac-
turer, some time since, on his way from
Washington TO his home stopped at Raleigh,
N. c., and upon being called out by his ad,
mirers, smote al Mr.. Fillmore, by declaring
that he was on level with Giddings. That
assertion settles the man. Let him recline in
the embraces of that Democracy whose caase
in the North he has so wonderfully advanced
by making one hundred thousand Abolition
lists. He is so good sectional man, that an
angel standing on the other side OF Mason
and Dxon's line advocating pationn! prnci-

in the persons of Fillmore and breckenridge
Such ticket, Mr.. Breckenridge thinks, will
