The true Democrat., 1856-10-28
The Prospects of the Three Presi-
 dential Aspirants.

IS one oi the very greatest importance to the southern people. The south has to make her choice between James Buchanan and Willard Fillmore. If these United States are to pur- sue the even tenor of their way, it is a self evident fact that no sectional party must ever obtain the reins of government It is an i'm. possibility for free and sovereign States to live together, in peace and harmony, any length of tme where one section of them secures the power of the general government to oppress and war upon the rights and interests of the other. The election of Fremont, we solcmnly believe, will end in disaster and ruin to the Union, and we are not alone in this belief Patriots north and south, believe this, and have proclaimed 1t, time and again, to the country.
 The south, then must choose between the may be the present position and past record of MT. Buchanan, we will not disguise the fact that, if he has no chance of an election, and the contest should be between Mr. Fillmore of every southern patriot to support Mir. Fill m ore. But on the contrary, if Mr. Buchanan, who is by far the safest man for the south that is now before the people, should have the brightest chances of success, we unhesatingly declare, and erery patriot will approve that it is the undeniable duty of the south, to man, to support and vote for him.
 We have thus marked out what every pa- trotic citizen will say. in any event, is the duty of the southern people. Itnow devolvcs upon us t o show which candidates prospects are the best, and we think honestly that we can de- mopstrate, by facts and figures which never deceive, that the only hope of the south is in the election of James Buchanan.
 Since the nominations of the three candi- dates for the Presidency, Mr. Buchanan, Mir. Fillmore and Mir. Fremont, there have been t,oelue have voted for the democrats four for the black republicans, and not one for the Know Nothings or Fillmore party. They have voted as follows:
 For the Democrats (Buchanan.)
 SOUTHERN STATEs-North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Missouri, Delaware, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky.
 NORTHERN STArEs-Pennsylvania Indiana, Conncctcut-12
 For he Black Republicans (Ffeo,orat)
 NORTHERN STATEs-Iowa Vermont, Maine Ohio-4
 For the KnoU NotJiings (Filtmore)
 Not single State.
 These States have all voted since the nomi- nation of the three candidates by their respec- tive parties. Mir. Buchanan's party has carried tscelue of them, MT. Fremonps has carried four, and Mir. Fillmores, not one. Thus the contest stands. MT. Fillmore's party, both north and south, is efete-is dead. He has no earthly chanee-his party north IS too ,oeak and insigni- fcant to put to,aoard candidates for Stote ofices,
 The race is then between Buchanan ard Fremont While we regret that it is not be- tween Buchanan and Fillmore we are reioiced tbat 1t Is between Buchanan and Fremont rather than Fillmore and Fremont, for Mr. Buchanan is infinitely superior man to MT. Fillmore, in point of talent, of experience, of principle, and of devotion to the doctrine of States rights and popular sovereignty.
 There is no hope in MT. Fillmore. He can- not carry single State in the Union. As be- tween him and Mir. Fremont, the abolition can- ddate, his defeat and Fremonts election would be certain. It is then the duty of every south- erner, at once and emphatically, to declare fer MT. Buchanan, and, on Tuesday next, to vote accordingly.
 Let this be done-let Mir. Fillmore be drop- ped. aud MT. Buchanan supported, as the only candidate running, and the southern States will present to the world position, and unanimity in sustaining it, which will carry with it a moral force that will strike with terror the minds of our enemies on both sides of the Atlantic.- Our cause and our institutions will be vindicat- ed, and our peace and prosperity perpetuated.
