destruction of our glorious fabric of govern.
ment But thousands are deceived by the
wntchwords of party leaders, and rush madly
on to selfdestrnction, believing that they are
pursuing the path of true patriotism.
The delusion effected by the arts of ambi.
tion and demagogueism will pass away from
the minds of the people, both North and
South, if the truth is generally difTused and
enlightened efforts are made for the triumph
OF the cause of the country.
Let the motto of every American be, right
ahead. Heed not the artifices which will he
used to weaken hope or palsy effort. Each
man has n holy duty to perform, which is
none the less u duty even If his labor proves
OF no avail. The triumph of sectionalism is
certain, whether Fremont or Buchanan be
successful. Fortunately the contest lies be.
tween Mr.. Fillmore and Fremont, with posi-.
tive certainty that unless the latter succeeds
by the popular vote, he cannot reach the
Presidential chair. For Fillmore, then, let
every man steadily work with the firm con.
viction that upon his efforts depends the snfr.
ty of the Union itself. Each mans intellect
and heart tell what 1t is his duty to do. Let
him 60 right ahead and do it without asking
whether he will succeed or not
He who calculates chances of success, and
votes in such manner as to BE- found with
the majority, is unworthy to be frepman.-
tle is not made Of the material which consti.
tutes an heroic character He is fit only to
become the tool of others-the contempt Of
the noble, the scorn of the good. The power
Of seif-governmcnt implies u,s ability to un.
derstand duty and the honesty and manliness
to perform it regardless of consequences
II is to be regretted that there are many
who are kind Of walters upon providence
who waver with each change of the phase of
a canvass and only strive to throw up their
caps and shout victory with the winning side
They resemble the French villagers, that
Paul Louis Courier tells his pleasant story
about, who annoyed at the frequent changes
OF government which had taken place In
their country, MS far MS they could see with
out rhyme or reason, and with which they
had nothing to do, except being compelled to
shout the pnrty cry of the day, at last met in
solemn council and resolved that-"seeing
the extreme difficulty of knowing at what
precise time either Vive 10 Ro, Vive Ia Re-.
publique, Vive l'Empereur, or Vive anything
else, was quite appropriate, it would be nd.
viaable, until further notice, to abstain from
shouting at ALL"
For once let us oil recollect the country is
seriously in dnnger,and that he,who would not
be compelled to look upon its mournful ruins,
must for once net with decision, according to
the promptings of his own heart. We need
not add that nine tentEs of our population
regard Mr.. Fillmore us the man npon whom
they alone can rely; they confess it in their
conversations, they admit it in their argu.
ments, and let them 60 ahead and vote it, and
the country is safe.

THE VERMONT AND MAINE ELEcrroks.-
The annihilation OF the Democracy in ver.
mont and Maine, as demonstrated by the
State election, Is well calculated to open the
eyes Of the Southern people to the fact that
there is no Democratic party at the North.-
Their presses and orators ut the South may
boast as largely us they please, but facts and
fgures-which cannot be misunderstood
show that the Democratic strength in the non.
slnvehOlding States is thing that was--a
power that has been oblitcrated and has pass
ed away. In the little State of Iowa II ID
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.ifths 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 n patri.
otic regard for the constitution and the Union
induce the Democracy of Iowa, Maine and
Vermont to withdraw their electoral tickets
Gf 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.
prive 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 a 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 sectioual
agitators.-- Columbus Enquirer.

sW- The friends of Fremont and Buch.
anan agree admirably on one important 9ues
ton of American policy. They both hold
that immigration is desirable to the country
and that no change should be made in our
Naturalization laws The argument with the
Fremonters is thnt the Immigrants are all in
favor Of freq labor and free soil. The argu.
ment with the Buchanan men is that il would
be ilIiberal and proscriptive to curtai the
privileges hitherto granted to foreigners. Be.
tween the two the South is crushed by the
grinding weight Of the foreign power, in al
liance with freesoilism.
