AmerlcanSm, held undiSputed sway" IN the
Convention.
That Mr.. Fillmore will not be elected, is
the mere opinion of the "Old Clay Wing"
which is evidently based upon n strong de-
sire that he shall not be. He alleges no
fact, nor points 10 any indication which will
bear out such a belief. Mr.. Fillmore is
the nominee of great party, strong in the
'ustncss of its cause, strong in It's hold upon
the hearts of the masses, strong IN the
great names Of its champions, strong nu-
merically and strong morally. His nomina-
ton is received 10y the great body Of the
people Of all parties, as the the thirsty soil
receives the grateful rain. Sick at heart,
and weary of the misrnle Of the little par
tizau whose policy has disturbed the public
mind and distracted the peace of the conn
try, they turn to him for relief. Every sign
is a glorious angury that be will be Undue
ted into the Chair he once honored amid the
'oylul acclamations of the nation.
But the labored point Of the Old Clay
Wing is, that the Democratic party is the
formidable contestant OF the Freesoil hosts,
and that supporting Fillmore is in fact sup
porting the latter. 1t viii be recollected
that in ls4s, the political aspect Of parties
was greatly similar TO that they now wear.

the treaty Of Gaudaloupe Hidslgo. Free

PRoPosED FURTHER EXTENSION OF THE
PARKERsBUsa RoAD.-A writer iu the
National IntelIigencer advocates the ex.
tension Of the Petersburg road via the
Hooking Valley to Athens in Ohio. He
suggests to the authorities Of Baltimore
the propriety of inssrchanging views with
the authorities Of Marietta for a future
and permanent arrangement in relation to
the Mnskingum Valley trade. This is Of
great importance its products consisting
of -four, bacon, and every thing raised in
that rich region. are of too much conse>
quenoe to be lost for want of attention.
He says; THE mass Of the people of
Marietta are in favor of Baltimore over
Philadelphia as their market. The latter
city has its friends and is exerting all its
energies to secure that most valuable trade.
II is now an open question, with every ad
vantage in favor OF Baltimore, and should
be attended to before the Northwestern
Railroad reaches Parkershurg. and the
Cincinnati railroad reaches Marietta"

A Duel Frustrated.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 7.-B. B. Bolts and
R. A. Pryor, with their friends, went out
early this morning to fight duel. near
Blair's farm, just across the District line.
The ground was selected, but before their
positions was taken all the parties were
arrested. together with their weapons,
pistols, and brought before Justic Cod
dard. when the principals were released
on their parole of honor that they would
return to Richmond with officers sent from
that city 10 arrest them.
The Union of tomorrow will contain
the correspondence between the princi
pals and seconds of the projected duel be-
tween Mr.. Bolts and Mr.. Pryor. Mr..
Bolts proposed meeting to take place
near Washington, weapons. pistols, dis.

ted after demurring TO the delay. APP
pended to the correspondence is card
from T. P. Chisman, Mr.. Pryor's Sc

deavor was made to evade the vigilance
of the police. He closes by saying ::
''that being satisfied from these facts aud
others that any attempt to secure a hos.
tile meeting between B. B. Bolts and Mr.
Pryor will be thwarted by persons not
connected with the matter. but friendly
to Hon. J. NJ. Bolts, and is also satisfied,

A portion of the wings met in Balti-

pretty equally divided, and that We have
as good a right to regard the shigs now
acting with the Democrats, as the tine
whig party, and to follow their lead, as
TO follow the late k. accomplishing wing
convention in Baltimore. But We.t as
a whig, have been influenced solely By
what we believe TO be- the interest and
patriotic demands of our country. 1--we
are wrong, ne can only say that We are

content to occupy our present
position, and prepared TO defend it as

The ELEcr1oNs.-The returns of cleo.

Gratis.
An election for Mayor and Common
Councilmen was held at Baltimore on the
9th inst. The Know Nothings elected
the Mayor by only 1854 majority. and
have majority of in both branches of
the City Council. At the last election
for Mayor. the Know Nothings had e..
TAI majority. This shows Democratic
gain of 1,187. The State of Maryland
will in all probability go for the Demo
cracy in November.
The result in Connecticut. is indicated
by the following telegraphic dispatch da-
ted Oct, 10th, long enough after the day
of the election, to ascertain the vote of
the State @.
Further and reliable returns of-the
town elections in this State. show consid-
cradle democratic gains. The previous
report that the republicans had carried
the State are erroneous. The present res
turns show the State is largely democra-
tic"
The Democrats have carried the State
of Delaware by 1900 majority. Two
years ago. the Know NOthings carried it
BY 1000 majority.
From Florida. we have the following
Dispatches received from Florida, via
Savannah state that the Democrats. have
certainly elected .their. Governor aud Con
gressmen. AIDA majority of both bran
ches, of the Legislature by, an increased
vote.
The returns received from Pennsylyania
show large Democratic gains, aud iudi-
cate that the State has gone Democratic
by large majority.
In Ohio the Democrats have gained
considerably. but We have not sufficient
to show the result.
From Indiana our returns are meagre,
but show Democratic gains.
