No chance for Buchanan. The South
should uni on Fillmore
We would direct the attention of our
readers to the following articles, going to
show that there is no chance whatever for
the election of Mr.. Buchanan, and that the
true policy of the South and conservative
men every where is to unite upon Millard
Fillmore, who alone can beat down the
forces Of Black Republcanism:
From the Lynchburg Republican.

New York, in letter TO the Democrats OF Pitts
burg. declining invitation to the stump in the
Keystone State. He says:
"This enjoyment I, at least must foTego, until we

act worthy OF herself and TO challenge once more
the respect and affection of the democracy Of the

generous iorgetf1lness Of past differences can, and

with such union no combination can be formed in
the State that will seriously impede the march Of it

John, be it known, is one Of the most sanguine Of
politicians. In the last gubernstorial election
in York New just on the eve OF its Oc-

when the Prince thinks be has reasonable sesur-

be fairly concluded that il is at least fifty thousand

The Baltimore Clipper neutral paper, takes the
following view of the political battle:
Maryland will certainly 60 for Mr.. Fillmore by an

same direction. New York, Massachusetts, &c,

Gen. Leslie Combs, Of Kentucky, writes the fol- !
lowing letter from New York to the editor Of the
Lexington (Ky.,) Observer.
NEW YORK, July 10, 1855.
DEAR Sir From very reliable information the |
contest in this State will be between Fremont and
Free Negroes on one side and Fillmore on the other.
The Hard Democrats will help the latler-the Softs
the former.
They all say Buchanan has no chance in New
York.
