THE VOTE OF THE CITIES.
IF the leading northern cities stands thus

Buchanan has in these cities majority of 9O5 over the
combined of Fillmore and Fremont while the vote Of
Fremont than the combined of Buchan-
and Fillmore Even in Boston, the very hobed of
tonali5m and fanatcsm Fremont is in minority of the
popular vote. In each and all these cities bGckrepub
can presses have had wide circulation.
The inhabitants of them have heard time and again
eraed in every shape and FORM all the arguments black
republicanism could adduce win their support In
New York the quntupe alliance-the Herald Tribune
Times and Courier and Enquirer-have joined in united
shrek fr freedom" and Fremont In Philadelphia the
North American, Daily Times Bulletin Sun, and Free
Press have zeaousy advocated Fremont and in Cincin
natl and Boston be has been ably sustained by
presses Yet all this pressure aided by immense
of Fremont oratory in prosttuted pulpts and the
stump and the expenditure of of money has
totally failed to win to his support but little than
oneh of their voters In past times all these cities have
general rule been strongly opposed TO the democratic
party yet now its candidates have received clear major
ity of their whole vote
The great truth SO long obscured or denied, that the
democratic party the true protector of the commercial
and business interests of the country Of all other great
interests is becoming, with each day more gener
ally acknowledged The wisdom of its past measures is
longer seriously denied disputed and its attitude in
the present conflict has commended it to all conservative
national As cities would be the most seriously
affected by the pers which th9rumph of sectional party
would inaic they have been the most emphatic in their
opposition it, and they have spurned the of the
false guides who sought to lure them into path of folly
and Of danger.
OF all these cities however Philadelphia is pre-eminent
for her nationality. She has given Fremont but little
than oneenth Of her votes. Out Of TOl9s votes
poed be received but 1892 OF this result she may we'll
be proud. Most nobly has she indicated her fair fame
from all faint Of utilization sympathy with the mad pas
sons Of the hour The soil where the Declaration of In
dependence declared and the constitution framed her
citizens as mass are true to their loyalty to the Union
and cherish sentiment Of raerna regard for all the
pie Of all the States and unaerable determination to
uphold the true principles Of constitutional liberty Her
merchants mechanics business men, and her people gener
ally will not join in the mad crusade against the South
which black repubicanism inaugurated.
Looking forward do, with the utmost confidence
wise and successful administration during the next
-four years in which Mr.. Buchanan will discharge the
presidential duties as to command the approval Of all pa
otc who desire the happiness and welfare of our
country trust that be may be enabled to remove all
preexs for the dangerous sectional agitation which has
too long disturbed the tranquility Of the natior and feel
that the confidence bestowed upon him by the Amer
lean people will be fully merited.
