Willard Fillmore

On all the questions of National policy which have divided the Whig and Democratic parties during the last twenty-five years, MT. Fillmore has acted with the former, and it is not surprising that among the old whigs there should be many who would prefer his election to the Presidency to that of eer of his competitors, and long as they think there is any chance of his success either through the electoral college, or in the House of Representatives they will be likely to adhere to him. But as the election draws nigh, we think the most enthusiastic of Nr. Fillmores admirers will that all the efforts in his behalf will prove unavailing. The conflict is be- tween Freedom and Slavery in the Territories and in that issue the election is to be dscided On the one side is Col. Fremont, and or the other James Buchanan Any votes cast for Mir. Fillmore will be as truly thrown away, as were the votes for Brney in 1844 or Hale in 1852.

Mrs. vaill, though not long resident here, very highly es- teemed by large circle of friends and her loss will be sincerely mourned hy the community. She was a sister of Mrs. James c. Marsh. M eak ak
 Dr. vaill and family came from Ltchfeld, Ct, to reside in this city some two years or more since and had won in that time the esteem of many citizens - The sympathies of many friends will be tendered to the bereavcd husband and father in this trying hour of sniiction.

Beth parties look with more interest perhaps to Pennsylvania than to any other State for there the Presidential battle is to be fought with the most not expect to elect Mir Buchanan without the vote of his own State and the Republicans need every other State to elect Col Fremont if they lose Pennsylva- mia.

 know nothing more uncertain than pct- ical calculations by men of sangune tempera- ment, who are apt to jump at a conclusion up on a very imperfect observation. If you will allow me, however, to set up the skeleton from what might be considered perhaps only the natl, think 1 can fairly offer you something ! substantial in the way of encouragement. a0ur meetings in this region, of which I have attended and addressed three, have far exceeded in numbers and enthusiasm anything that have ever before witnessed, while those of the Buchanan men are said to have fallen, in both particulars, equally far below all past example. Judging from these exhibitions, as we'll as from what hear every day, am dis
 
 ons-sided one entirely. Our friends talk conf dently of a majority of to 5000 votes in this county for Fremont and this, think, will be about fair type of the entire West
 have just returned from Greensburgh, the seat of justice of Westmoreland county, and the great western stronghold of the Demo cratic party. You may judge of Buchanan's chances in this State when 1 inform you that | the assurances there were uniform that he could get no majority whatever in that county. A gentleman of that place, who has been prom. inent Democrat, but is now an American and Republican, remarked to me this morning that he never had been fayorite there-that there was no feeling in his behalf that there was no apparent vitality in the party, and that the county might be set down at the worst as neu- tralized, if net carried against him.
 "The only difficulty now is with the Fillmore party ill Philadelphia. There is no such party to effect US here. We understand the issue, and have nothing to fear from man who bids so high for Southern votes
 "We hope, however, to put things right in Philadelphia before the election, and if We fail, we think we can afford to lose as many as 20,- 900 votes, and still carry the State for Ere mont by a heavy majority. If we are right in our approximations here, and our friends in Westmoreland and the adjoining counties will do even good half of what they promise, we will show you in this platform candidate, who has been set up as a decoy for our people, the worst whipped man who has been seen in this State since the palmy days of the old Demo cratic party.

 Missourt--There is close run between the Benton, American and Border Ruflian parties, and the results promise to divide the honors of victory pretty fairly between all three, with the best cards for the Americans. Col Benton is certainly defeated for Governor, running be. hind both the other candidates, between whom the battle is doubtful In 3S counties the (oflicial vote for Governor is |: Polk (border rufian democrat,) 2l,S34 Ewing (Americap.

 MIR EDrToR.-t seems strange that your mountain home usually so free from drought should have been parched and thirsty during these hot weeks-while in this place vegetation has not langnished at all - The shrubbery and gardens of this beautiful city CT appeared more luxuriantly green. Indeed almost every week have enjoyed rain in some meausure. But the last effuson copioes enough it for the whole iand No more c7oaking now, we trust, about the corn crop and Fall feed The hay harvest in this region has been very abundant and all crops harvested OF outstanding are large. One thing has surprised hereas against my settled impression and that is the thrifty growth of corn oats rye &c., in fields but few rods from the Sea Reach-where they are exposed to the saline influences directly and constantly, in the highest degree But consider that salt is now established component of the best artificial manures Certainly fields promise bet ter, wave their golden glories more magnifcently than some which skirt oar coast guarded from the tides and surf by merely the Beach wall of sand.

 The remains of Mrs. Frederick Chttenden, sister of Hon.

The ,ity authorities have commenced widening the side walks in Main Street, the Broadway of this city.
