Nothing from Indiana.
Baltimore gives Fillmore 5000, Louisville /
1900, and st. Louis 1000 majority, but there

TAKEN Dows. AT the Buchaneer meeting
held on the night previous TO election, some
Of the young sprouts Of the Black Democracy
lately grated into the rotten old tree from
the limbs Of Southern Whiggery, seemed to
have made an arrangement to call each other
out, that they might give their respective or
atorical powers an airing, and relate their
political experience" define their positions,
etc. A number Of them declared themselves
formerly Wings, said they had been reared
in the faith, and they still loved and reyercd
it, that II WAS noble old party, it had q
high mission to perform, it lived out its day
and accomplished its object, passing away in
proper time, rich in rewards and full Of
honors; but now, to them, there was only one
way open, as friends otthe Constitution and
the Union, ETC., and that was TO ally them
selves with the Democracy. All that sort Of
highfalutin nonsense. was echoed and re-
echoed till the direct imputation upon the old
Democratic party which it involved, grew
rather grating upon some Of the old stagers
who had been bred up in the party, and stuck
By it through thick and thin. Finally one OF
them got up and interrupted the proceedings
by saying that he was glad to see the gentle
men come over and give in their adhesion,
but all this impuiation upon the character Of
the Democratic party heretofore, that it was
ever in any sense wrong and corrupt,
would not be tolerated. They might
come into the fold, and welcome, but they
must not come casting slurs upon the history
aud character Of the party that received them.
This was like a shower Of cold water, and
dampened the ardor Of the new recruits who
had gone over to the Democracy under the
belief tina, all the Pro-Slavery element which
they fancied belonged to the old Wing party
was now conserved By its old competitor, and
that therefore the path in which they were
to follow was PLAIN and clear. But they
learned that Black Democracy was not to be
reflected upon by impudent young Wing re-
cusants in the house of its friends.
Fusion IN lSpIAsA.-The Lafayette Cour-
Ter says that the BUCCANEERS and Fillmore
ties formed a union ticket in that state. The
names Of Richard W. Thompson, James G.
Jones, David 7. Laird and John Baker,
from the Fillmore ticket, were to be voted
for by the Buchanecrs, and these with nine
names from the Democratic ticket formed
the Union Electoral ticket. The Fillmore
men were to vote ticket headed By Fill
more and Donelson, and the Democratic
ticket to be headed Buchanan anl Brecken-
ridge.
CHARMING PARrY.-Among the Demo
cratic candidates for local Offices now before
the people in New York City lsays the cour-
ier and Enquirer are, one expelled Califor-
man, one indicted for manslaughisr, one in-
dicted for murder, and one having several
indictments for various grades Of crime
hanging over him. This we know, and our
knowledge of the Democratic Candidates
two or three hundred in numbers very
limited.
