Wr We cheerfully admit the views ofour cor
respondent, "Cornelia," into our columns, and
though we have not the pleasure of personal
acquaintance with her, we venture to express
the belief that she would make much better
wife, than cold Squatter Sovereign" would
make President-and we add thereto our fur
ther opinion that she is far more likely to be
selected to give sweet counsel" to some good
American" than the subject of her COM
ments is, to be chosen President of the Amer
ican confederacy. "Cornelia" is right-an
old Bachelor to be President of the United
Statesr The idea is ridiculous! Why, even
the Indians would refuse to call such a Presi
dent their '',Great Father !'
DEAR SIR: / am aware that there are other and
more appropriate duties belonging to my sex than
those of political character, yet / should be hu-
inflated to believe that American ladies, the hon
ored offspring of our Revolutionary sires were in
capable of being inspired with deep and ardent
concern for the well-being of this great nation
We are without prejudice, belonging to no polit-
| cal family, and having no special preference for
Wings or Democrats, Americans or Republicans
Soft Shell or Hard Shell, but have a most decided
choice for him Chief Magistrate of this Republic
whose views are SO patriotic, broad, and national,
that he cannot be induced to g go for the North
as against the South, or for the South as against
the North,
We object to Mr.. Buchanan, first, because his
past history does not accord with the platform on
which he was placed by the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. This contradictory attitude assumed to gain
North and South ought to result in the loss of
both. Secondly, he is a bachelor, a confirmed old
bachelor, who has meVer studied cven the first ele-
ments Of government by being honored with the
| chief magistracy of his own household. He has
never had the sweet counsel of a loving wife to
breathe freshness upon his patriotism, locate his
feelings and infame HE ardor for American inst-
tutions And to be placed in the White House
in the absence of such knowledge, what kind of
receptions would he be able to give to the fair
daughters and intelligent matrons of this nations
Away with the thought of bringing crude mildew
upon the capital of the nation, by converting the
Presidential Mansion into q bachelors hall We
feel that we have our honor and dignity to main
tain and our rights to protect. Therefore, pro-
pose to call a convention of American ladies', and
avail ourselves speedily of this opportunity of fix
ing the seal of our lasting disapprobaton upon the
daring and presumptuous effort to surrender the
management of this government to the uncivil and
cold calculations and miserable expediency of an
old bachelor CORNELIA.

The National Fillmore men of Indiana are doing
their duty most nobly, judging from the number
of converts from the opposition ranks to Fillmore
Donelson, and the Union. The Young Fillmoreans
of Madison, Indiana, are holding meetings every
week regularly. They have entered upon their
duties with an avidity and cheerfulness truly re-
freshing. A tremendous reaction is taking place
throughout the Union in favor of the only national
conservative patriot presented before the Ameri
can people as a candidate for the Presidency.

Vote Of Kentucky.

The Democratic papers have been boasting loud
ly Of great victory in the late election for judges
in Kentucky, and express great confidence that
they win be able to carry Kentucky for Buchanan
in November. The Frankfort Commonwealth has
analysed the vote IN each district and finds that
many thousands did not vote at the late election
After giving details, it says
"The net decrease upon the aggregate vote OF
last year. in all the districts, far as heard from
is l4,OS7. Nearly all of these unpoled votes be-
long, beyond question, to American voters who

DEMocRATIc FREMONT MovEMRsTs.-In Mexican
county, Pa, a voluntary movement has been made
by members of the Democratic party, resulting in
a thorough Fremont organization at the court
house and in every township of the county. The
Democrats of Cleveland, Ohio, have also made a
similar movement. They have got up and publish
ed call for the organization OF Democratic Fre-
mont club, giving in detail the reasons why they
cannot support the Buchanan ticket The Cleve-
land Herald says that the signatures were confined
to those who, up to the present campaign, have
been identified with the Democratic party, and
every man who signed, cast his vote for VIM. Me-
dill the Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Ohio. Had the call been for those who voted for
President Pierce, the list might have embraced
FIVE hundred. The meeting to organize club is
to take place on the 10th instant at the court
house, and will be addressed by the Hon. w. Col
