They BEGIN TO SMELL BRIMsToNE.-A
prominent Democrat of Indiana, high in Office
writes to his friend in Washington that "lndi'
ana has gone to hi" and adds that Senator
Bright, who is now in Illinois, informs him
that that State is in the same predicament.
Now both these States were claimed by the
Washington Union, the other day, as sure fol
Buchanan; yet we opinc that Lieut.. Gov.
Willard and Senator Bright, being both on
the ground, will be regarded as more reliable
witnesses than the editor of the Union. whose
sphere of vision is limited by the width Of
Pennsylvania avenue.
If then, the sham Democracy cannot carry
Indiana and Illinois, when both Fillmore and
Fremont have electoral tickets in the field

FLORIDA FOR FILLMORE. Gov. Brown, of
Florida, in a letter to the Knoxville mass

the Electoral vote of Florida, will be cast for
Fillmore and Donelson. He says:
"From present prospects, do confidently

AN EDITOR OFF THE TRACK.-Marcll 4,
1858. Mr.. Fillmore retiring from the Presiden.
cy, the editor of the Providence journal wrote a
very long article, the end of which, but not
even the pith, is as follows:
'Mr. Fillmore, during each successive year
of his administration, has seen the country
steadily advance in all the great elements o.
prosperity and power, and he now leaves it
to his successor IN the Presidential chair, in
position more satisfactory to the whole peo-
pie, and more commanding in the eyes of the
world, than it has ever before occupied. lie

him an equal in rank with the proudest and

with the best wishes of oil good citizens for
his continued happiness, and with the emo.
bling CONSCIOUSNESS that in period of trial
and difficulty, he has discharged the highest
functions of his government with fidelity
that never wavered-with wisdom that was
equal to every emergency"

be to the country, to re-elect such President

REsusCIrATloN OF DRo wNED Parsons
DR.. Hall. an eminent physician of London,
gives instructions for resuscitation of persons
apparently drowned, totally at variance with
the methods now in use.-He says: There
is one great impediment to the restoration of
the function of respiration, which is the fall
ing back of the tongue across the top of the
CLOTHS, or entrance into the windpipe. In
order to remove this, the patient is to be
placed upon his face and breast, and the body
is to be turned slowly on to the side, and
then returned slowly to its former position.
This motion, whose effect is to cause con-
siderable amount of air in the lungs to be ex-
PEELED and renspired, is to be kept up until
breathing is restored, or all hopes of resusci-
taton from this source are abandoned.

FrsIoN.-In reply to the charges of fusion
with the Fremontcis, that are so freely made
by the Buchanan parties South. we publish
the following extracts from Fremout papers,
charging fusion with the Buchanan forces.
Both cannot be right, and we think both will
find themselves wrong, as Mr.. Fillmore "runs
on his own hook" and will receive the votes
of the Union.loving people, and be elected by
an overwhelming majarity.
The Republican State Gazette of Trenton,
n j., of Tuesday, says;
The Hon. James Platform passed through
this city yesterday noon, en- route for Prince
ton, where, rumor says. the bargain between
the Fillmorcites and Buccaneers will he con-
summated. so far as relates to New Jersey.
The New Brunswicker Of the Odd inst also
says:
BUCHANAN AT PRINCETON Look out for a
bargain bctreen the KnO,v Nothings and the
Buccaneers. james Buchanan, the Locoeoco
candidate for the Presidency, arrived at Prince
ton little after ~ o'clock to day, and is now
the guest of the Hon. John. Thompson. In
consequence of several leading Know Moth
ings and Bcchanecrs from various sections of
this State also visiting Princeton to-day, it is
thought that sale of some kind is to be eff
fected, so as to give the State either to Bu-
chanan or Fillmore in November next
Whether this be so or not, it is well for all
parties to keep sharp look ont for any traps
that may be set for the unwary.

AFFAIRS IN MEXlCo.-The news from
Mexico exhibits the progress of popular opin-
ION in that country in an entirely new light.
President Comonfort appears to be endorsed
by large majority of the nation in his reso-
luton to sell the entire property of the church.
If it b. true that the annual income of this
property amounted to over twenty millions Of
dollars, while the whole revenue of the state
only amounted to five millions, the course of
Comonfort will soon place the empty public
treasury of Mexico in respccta bic condition.
What the church itself will say, through its
influences abroad, at being thus stripped Of
all its possessions, is another question. Its
power hitherto, has surpassed that of the
state itself. The latter, having at length ac-
quired the supremacy, is not only disposed to
retaliate, but to deprive itself of all apprehen.
sions as to the future.

INSULT TO THE FRIENDS OF HENRY CLAY.
We take the following article from Phil

trates what respect is felt for the character
and memory of Henry Clay by the Buchanan
Democracy. Trying to wheedle Henry Clay

same breath offering them direct insult
Here is the extract alluded to:

on the evening one with the following inscrip-
ton in large letters: ave Poked them in
1874 we Pierced them in 1852, and we'll Buck

Buchanan, Pierce, Douglas & Co., hypocri-
tically pretended to venelate the memory and
patriotism Of Henry Clay, and the organs of
the Locofoco party. from the Washington
Union down to the Pennsylvania, are daily
engaged in implorng the Old Line Wings to
come to the rescue Of James Buchanan.
"Yet the wire pullers and leaders IF Loco

cussions in this city filthy transparency.

procession the Backyard inscription we have

Mr. FILLMORE's PRosPECTs-Opintofs of u
Neutral-Thc New York Sunday Dispatch
a neutral Journal has review ofthe political
field, concluding as follows:
The Fillmore meeting and procession on
Friday night, 10Th instant, was a puzzle to
the Buchanan and Fremont men, From the
repeated assurances of the opposition press
that the American party was dead, these
parties really began to imagine that such was
the fact The appearance of so 900 people
at the Union Park meeting, and sUtne 20 600
voters in the profession OH that occasion. has
opened the eyes of these politicians. They
have just discovered that there is Fillmore
party in New York. When the votes come
to be counted they will make some further
discoveries that will astonish them still more
not only in New York. but in other quarters
of the Union. We speak adviscdly when We
tell our readers that the Fillmore men will
carry free States that are regarded as sure for
Fremont. The same result will also take
place in the South. where Buchanan is sup
posed to be the only candidate. Mark the
prediction. and call us false prophets, if the
| result does not prove what We say.
Two powerful clements are combined to
produce this result. The Americans and
Union men of all parties 60 for the same
ticket. The American feeling of the country
is an elem snt that will never die while venera-
ton for the Union Of States must live as long
as the memory of Washington is cherished
by the American people. 1t will not do for
the Democrats and Republicans to run away
| with the idea, that because the Fillmore men
do not make as much noise as they do, they
are not as earnest and active as either of the
opposing parties. 1t is not party Of wild
fanatics. but one that feels that crisis has
been reached in the history of the Govern
ment which requires the united efforts of con-
sentative and sober men to avert The sober
second thought of the people seems to be
settling down to the fact, that the only safety
for the country at the present time is in the
elevation of Mr.. Fillmore; and hence they are
not in position to make any great noise on
the subject. After the election, they will re-
joicc in the result of their labors.

Gas THE EMPIRE STATE GOES, so GOES THE
UNION. 1T is generally understood that the
State of New York has never been defeated in
Presidential election, rs she has always cast
her vote in favor of the successful candidate
and consequently, the saying, LAS New York
goes, SO goes the Union"
Now if this I've true 1t settles the question
as to who will he the successful candidate OH
the fourth of November next. Mr.. Fillmore
being the only national candidate, New York,
true TO her instincts and her past history,
will vote for him, who alone is the Union
candidate that can receive the support of each
National vote in an American country.
We do not think there is doubt, nor the
ghost of doubt as to how New York will
vote. The spirit that is now abroad in the
land. the light that is pouring its flood upon
the popular mind. and the truth that is direct
ing the hearts of our citizens, will as an ava
lallehe sweep away, like cobwebs, the hopes
of Fremont and Buchanan and concentrate
upon Mr. Fillmore such a compacted mass of
voters, that are true to their country, and the
whole Union, as to ensure his carrying the
Empire State by at least twenty thousand
majority. Nothing is more certain, and all
that is necessary to ensure an increased vote,
rests with his friends. Let those who desire
to see him elected do their duty, their whole
duty. and nothing but their duty.
And why should any man. with sane
mind, a patriotic heart, and who really and
| truly desires the perpetuity Of his country s
glory" refuse for one moment to decide the
important question. and say, land all acknow-
ledge, that as Mr.. Fillmore is the safest can
didate. because he is the National American
| candidate whose life and acts is one of the
brightest pages in our hstory,) he has been
trusted and proved faithful, and III trust him
| again.
In fact he is the OILY ono under existing
circumstances that we can safely trust, and
when we look at the momcntous interest, the
very vitality and life of republican govern
mcnt and institutions, would it not be a
species of phrcnzy to elect another in the
place OF him who alone deserves your suffrage.
