The CORRUPTION FUND.-Not long since
the Post Master al Liberty, Amite county
Mississippi, received circular from Wash
ington calling on HIM to send the names o.
the foreigners in this county, and certain
sum of money, to aid in defrayng the expen.
SEES of the Democratic party in the election
The Post Master declined doing either. lie
was thereupon removed from office. In {
card to the people, he says:
81 have not yet sent off the names OF the
foreigners in this vicinity, as lately required
nor did ! think that conld afford to set
aside n portion of the small income OF the
office, to assist in sending Democratic doc
umens to them. Whether such instructions
were ever issued from the Post Office De
parimcnt or not, one thing certain, the me
mace accompanying the refusal has certainly
fallen upon me-the threat that upon non
compliance with the order would be remov
ed, has certainly been executed.

FALSE CHARGEs.-As the close of the
campaign approaches the democratic leaders
and wireworkcrs grow desperate, and are cir.
culaing all sorts Of stories and misrcpresen.
tations to delude and deceive the people,
The country will remember that before
tho American Nominating Convention met,
the democratic papers commended that Mr..
Fillmore would not receive the nomination,
and that it would be conferred on George
Law, or some other man acceptable to the
anti slavery element. When Mr.. Fillmore
was nominated. the same papers and parties
said he would not accept. When he accept.
ed, they Immediately raised the cry of "no
chance'" and having failed to make any por.
ton of the people take that dodge, they
have now commenced charging that his
friends are fusing with the Black Rppubli.
cans in the Free States. This is the last
throw of tho desperate political gamblers
who have been for three months playing
game of deceit, fraud, insincerity, and mis-
representation unparalleled in the history of
political canvasses; and il is fair to infer they
will continue to play il to the bitter end.
We hope and believe it is unnecessary to
caution our friends against these charges Of
fusion between the supporters of Fillmore
and the Black Republicans. There is not one
word of truth in them, make them who may.
And we say to our friends, give all such
charges a fiat and downright contradiction,
wherever you meet them. We know what
we say-there has been and will b. no fu
sion in the Presidential election with the mig.
ger worshippers, so FAR rs the supporters of
the American candidates are concerned. On
the contrary, in the heavier Northern States the
contest is solely between the Americans and
Black Republicans; and in several of them
many Of the original friends Of Mr.. Buchan-
m ARE rallying 10 the support Of the former
in order to secure the defeat of the candi
date of the nigger-worshippers beyond all
doubt. 1t is so charged in the New York
Herald and other Freesoil prints, and we see
no reason to doubt il. No, no-Mr. Fill
more's supporters, North and South, would
prefer defeat, overwhelming and crushing, to
victory obtained by a coalition with tho enc.
mics Of the Union.

THE NATIONAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Il will be seen by the following article from
the National Intelligencer, that that old and
largely influential journal has come out for
Fillmore aud Donelsoni
WHIG SENTIMENT We take from our files,
and continue to-day, the publication Of letters
and communications from Wing friends, chief
ly in the South, upon the issues which seem
to them involved in the approaching Presi
Dental election, and the duties imposed by
the exigencies of the troubled times In which
they are called upon to act. Most of these
letters. we may say, are entitled to high res
p ct from all true Wings, as proceeding from
distinguished fellow eountrymen and loyal
members of the Wing party, and since with
such unanimity they express preference for
the distinguished statesman who has but re.
Gently received the nomination of the Wing
National Convention, they can hardly fail to
add n new sanction to that nomination, as
serving to indicate that the members of the
Baltimore Convention did but faithfully re-
present the general Wing sentiment of the
country in the selection they made among the
candidates already before the public.
Having ourselves decided that the recon-
mendations of that Convention are entitled to
respect and approval from all uncommitted
Wings who deem it inconsistent with their
conceptions of public duty to remain wholly
Indifferent in time Of admitted difficulty and
embarrassment but for that very reason de-
manding mole than ever the intervention OF
all conservative aud patriotic citizens, we take
the greater pleasure in submitting these com
munications to the perusal and the arguments
they contain to the deliberate consideration
of our readers, in the hope that they may
tend to combine the Wing vote OF the country
upon the eminent citizen who seems to be the
undoubted choice of majority OF the I'M
pledged Wings Of the Union. And OF that
candidate we may say, without any reflection
upon the claims Of another candidate, or up
on the course of those esteemed Wings who
may consider themselves already committed
by consistency or a sense of present duty to
the support Of such candidate, that his nomi
nation appears to us deserving of acceptance
and adhesion, not only as the formal nominee
of the Wing party, but also for the civil ca
pacity and high administrative ability OF
which he has already given practical assur'
ance to the whole country; and we may add,
that he would indeed prove strangely recre-
ant in the future to his wellearned fame in
the past if, in the event Of his elevation to the
Chief Magistracy of the Union. he should by
his conduct or his policy afford to the conser
vatve Wings who aided in his election any
substantial cause to regret their preference OF
him over any other competitor for the Presl-
dency.

A CHANGE AND REAsoN.-The Louisville
journal says very prominent and intelligent
merchant of New Orleans, whose partner is
now in that city, was recently strong and
earnest supporter OF Mr.. Buchanan. A few
weeks ago he almast quarreled with his part
ner for being in favor of Fillmore. He now,
in letter we have seen, informs his partner
that he himselfis for Fillmore and the excel
lent reason he assigns is that he finds all the
leaders of the Buchanan party in Louisiana
to be thorough disunionists. We have no OBJ
lection to giving the name of this patriotic
gentleman to any one who wants 1t.

AT meeting of the Fillmore Club at North

solutions, was enthusiastically adopted;
ResOlued That feeling conscious that we be-

empty sound. We bid them Goo speed In the
work they have set out to do. 1t is just and

non Place is to be sold on the 18th instant,

The lands are all very valuable. The Wal
kcr Reservation, aside from great fertility
and productveness of soil, possesses supe-
nor advantages for the manufacture of iron,
being accessible to inexhaustibe beds of ore
aud coal, and intersected by the railroad and
river. We have not time to dwell upon the
subject now, but will remark that from its
great advantages of location over all other
points on the railroad, the crossing ut the
Hiwassee is destined, at no distant day, TO
become an important manufacturing place,
and this fact gives additional value TO the
lands in that ncighborhood.

We Are not disposed to indulge in bragga.
docia ofany kind, nor will we knowingly per.
vert the truth, even if by so doing we could
secure the elevation to the Presidency of that
excellent and pure, minded man whom the
Wings have selected ms their candidate; but
we do assert, confidently, that Fillmore will
receive a large majority of the votes of the
people of Maryland at the November election
no matter what his chances may be in any of
the other States in the Union. There is no
doubt of Maryland, the Vaccinations of dis
tnguished gentlemen to the contrary not.
withstanding. The attachment of Wings to
MIlard Fillmore is based upon the fact, that
in the North he is denounced as friendly to
the South, and IN the South as having strong
Northern proclivites They want no better
