A Fillmore Calculation.


The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser claims
118 votes certain for Fillmore, comedies SO to
Buchanan, 43 to Fremont, and classes " as
doubtful. The States claimed for Fillmore
are Massachusetts,, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Della
ware. eS ke
Buchanan States, Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas Tex
as and Connecticut.
Fremont States, Vermont, Rhode Island,
! Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan.
! Doubtful, Maine, New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Califor-
MIA.
We are unwilling to accord to Buchanan
any of the States which the Commercial has
set down for him, except perhaps Texas
South Carolina elects by her Legislature. 1t
I is not unusu..i for her to throw away her vote,
and, from the universal disfavor manifested
there toward the nomination of Buchanan, we
are impressed with the belief that her vote will
be thrown away upon Pierce. We look upon
! Virginia as far more certain for Mr.. Fillmore
than for Buchanan. 1t will be remembered
that it went for Wise by less than 1000 ma
! jority undor circumstances peculiarly unfavor-
able to the American party. The whole num-
/
were cast for Mr.. Tourney, but he received
no outside votes whatever. The State was
thoroughly aud vigorously canvasscd by ''giz-
zard foot" Wise and a host of other popular
and ingenious anti American orators, and, the
secrecy having not yet been removed, the AM
orleans did not make single speech during
/ the whole canvass. Just previous to the cleo
ton the Massachusetts, Legislature had passed
the odious personal liberty bill which was I'M
Justly charged to the American party in the
North These and various other circumstan-
ces contributed at that time to the defeat of
the American party. Now the case is entire
ly different. The whole vote of Virginia is
about 10000. There are enrolled members
of the American party to the number of $4,000.
/ Besides these at least 10000 Old Line Wings
who voted for Wise will vote for Fillmore
Add to these the disaffeeted in the ranks of
the Democracy who cannot swallow the nomi-
nation ofBuchanan, and who have become COM
pletely disguised with the ebo-sttn Governor
and his party, and we have reason to believe
that there are many thousands ofthem in Vir-
GINA. Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Fillmore
is almost certain to carry the Old Dominion
At least it will not do to putt down as certain
against him.
In Arkansas, we have recently been inform
ed, that there are 1900 voters comprised in
the American Order, which is greater num-
| Der than the whole vote cast in the last State
election in that State, and nearly twe-thirds
| of the whole vote of the State Arkansas
may thus be pat down as certain for Fillmore.
| In Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, Fill
mores chances are, fully equal to Buchanan's.
Some Of our friends in Georgia and Alabama
have written to us that these States are GER
| tain for Fillmore. We think this is true, par
ticularly in regard to Alabama, for twenty
two out of the twenty-seven papers published
4 in that State are in favor of Fillmore, and the
whole voting population does not exceed 75,-
1000. Connecticut is already certain for Free
mont unless there should be both Fremont
and Johnston as we'll as Fremont and Day
ton electoral ticket there, in which case the
Fillmore Americans will undoubtedly have a
majority. 1000 e.' q ies
| We reenot sufficiently familiar with the
condition of parties in Texas to make a reIia-
4 BILE. calculation in regard to it, We have been
assured that: # the Germans in Texas run
| Fremont ticket, which they are almost certain
4 to do. the American party win there also most
assuredly triumph.
i What then becomes of Buchanan's strength?
i With not one single State certain for him, and
but a desperate prospect for success in any of
/ the States North or South, it is insanely fool
ish for his friends to ask Southern men to be-
| lieve that he can compete with Col. Fremont
in the North or Mr.. Fillmore in the South. If
the South wants to protect its own interests
it will give united support to Willard Fill
more, in whom all can withouthesitaton con-
fide. q He is the only real competitor Of the
4 Freesoil candidate in the North, and with
united Southern support will undoubtedly be
elected. as .-7i5-75 afss SEQ
