HOW THE FILLMORE MEN CALCU-
f9f. RESULT.

Although in 1914 aud 1852 Democrat
ic President was elected because the vote
vas cast BY States and not By the whole
people directly, since 1886 the Democratic
Party has never had clear unquivocal ma
jority Of the popular vote of riie country.
Taking the average Of the pluralities, il
has not even had tie plurality of the pepa-
lar vote, and at this time it is 10 minori-
ty of at least 100000, and perhaps of
10000, votes. We have not now room to
go into details to show these facts, but will
in few days present to our readers tho
statistical table from which every ole can
make the calculations for himself In the
State election last year in the Northern
States, the Democratic Party were in a po-
pular minority in that section alone Of
about 10000. The only Northora States
in which it had majority then were Illi-
nois, Indiana and New Jersey, and in these
the majorities were very small. II is an
other important feature ID Northern politics
that the great mass o. what constitutes the
Free Soil Party, which, since the Nebraska
bill, has grown into a positive element Of
political power has c1me from the ranks Of
the Northern Democratic Party. This fact
if doubted or denied can be ceaclusively
shown. 1t is not now conteuded that. the
nominee Of the Cincinnati Convention can
carry any Northern State, except perhaps
Pennsylvania. 1t is well known that
throughout the whole North the indorse-
ment of the Nebraska bill, the Kansas out
ragQs, and the Summer aud Brooks affair
have alienated from theIDemocratic Party
there very considerable amount of the
strength which it had last year, and that
the detection from its ranks has been SO iln-
nense as to increase the najorities against
it in all the States in which it was then in
the minority and to place Il beyond question
IN minority in Illinois, Indiana and New
Jersey. The only pretenee for the supposi.
ton that Pennsylvania would give majori-
ty for Buchan is the fact that be is native
of that State, but the last elections there
show large majority against the Democrat
ic Party, and the detection Of the whole
German population, which has hitherto been
Democratic: but has now gone over TO Free
mont, renders the prospect fer the success
Of Buchanan utterly hopeless there as we'll
as IN every other Northern State.
In the South his chanceSare better than
in the North, but even here, Delaware
Maryland, Kentucky, North Garolina, Ten
1nAssee, Florida, Louisianaand Missouri,
which give together sixty-three electoral
yoies, are certain to cast their votes for
Fillmore; while in Virginia, Georgia, Ala
bana and Missisappt giving forty-one cleo
toral votes, there Is . very fair prospect OF
Flllmore's success, SO that out OF the 1876
votes in the electoral college By no prcba-

FREMONI'S RELIGION.

4 gentleman, writing from Washington
to the New York Tribune, thus notices the
charge that Colonel Fremont has children
reared in Ihc Catholic faith, aud settles the
question:
sTo this it is sufficient to reply that no
child of his has been educated a year, a
mouth, or even day, ii any Catholic in-
stitution, at Georgetown or anywhere else.
and that they are all reared in the Protest
ant faith of their parents Mrs. Fremont
having been, in her early youth, Presby-
teriani but, on her marriage, to obliga b er
husband, having connected herself with his
church, the Episcopalian, But to show con
clusiyely, beyond all eayil, in what faith
Col. and Mrs. Fremont have reared their
children, submit herewith the official cer-
tiicate of The Rector Of the Church Of the
Epiphany Of Washington City, showing
that all their children have been baptized
in the Episcopal Church.
WASHINGTON CRY, July II, 1856.
ssThe following children OF j. Charles
and Jessie Benton Fremont have been bap-
tized in the Church of the Parish of the
Epiphany, Washington, d. c.; their bapt-
isms being recorded in the register Of said
Parish:
1s4S, Aug. Is, Elizabeth M'DoweIl Fre-
mont.
lS4S, Aug. Is, Benton Fremont
1858, Dec. 2S, Joha Charles Fremont.
1886, Aug. l, Francis Preston Fremont.
As none were baptized in house, but
all were brought to the church, the order
of the Protestant Episcopal Church for
ssthe Ministra,ion Of Public Baptism Of In-
fants,n was that which was used.
