me that with the oldlne Wings he win carry Vir-
ginia and Senator Toombs now Buchanan man,
acknowledges his chances are at least equal in
Georgia. OF Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana and
Arkansas, you can judge better than we here.
Now, let us admit that he cannot be elected by
the colleges think there can be doubt but that
he will come into the House by obtaining sufficient
votes TO defeat the choice of buchanan. IL the
President goes into the House, the Vice President
will go the Senate, and there, of course, Mr. Breck
inridge would be selected, and would be President
| in case the House failed TO elect Even Buchan-
ans friends admit that he could not possibly obtain
| sixteen States in the House. but Mr.. Fillmore and
Fremont would have the delegations OF at least
eighteen Of the States. (See the Union Of 18th
ult., in which that organ gives ten States TO Mr..
b., and comes to the conclusion that the House
would fail TO elect, and that Breckenridge would
therefore be President.) Now then the alternative
presented to the two anti-D Democratic delegations,
would be Breckenridge as President, or else Fill
more, or Fremont. Fremont cannot possibly OBJ
tain sixteen votes without the aid of the Fillmore
delegations from the South, and what Southern
member or delegation would dare b, vote for the
Abolition candidate They could never return
home, Or If they did, would be f2yed and burnt
alive. 1t would be useless to make such PROPOSE
ton to them, and the Fremont party would know
it and hence, the perfect conviction their part
that he could not be chosen by the House-and
the alternative then is contracted to Fillmore or
Breckinridge and have no doubt the former
would be preferred. So much for the heory and
now for the facts Of the case.
Members who have taken good deal of pains
on the subject, and have sounded round to ascer-
tain facts assure that the delegations Of all the
six New England States would certainly go for Mr..
Fillmore, rather than eteither Buchanan or Breck-
| inridge succeed, and have no doubt of the fact
| New Jersey, undoubtedly, would 20 for Fillmore
in the House, and probably in the electoral ticket
| OF course, the Buchanan men in the House would
fuse with no party, for, with Breckenridge selected
| by the Senate, they would say he was good enough
for them, and therefore, in the House. it would be
with them Buchanan or nobody. That the FIRE.
mont men would die hard in case the election
comes to the House, there would be noSioubt, and
all manner of expedients would be resorted to be-
fore they gave up even the most corrupt ones, but
/ give up finally they must and the public sentiment
1 of their constituents would compel them to do So
rather than to continue the present dynasty as they
would by allowing either of the Democratic candi

vent it. The Republicans in Pennsylvania have
| been laboring very hard to induce the Americans
to make a fusion ticket, and would grant almost
any terms to obtain it, even twenty out of the

| have before me letter dated the 22d, from
one of the most prominent and influential leaders

is universally secuted, and he verify believes that

such proposal, and he is daily gaining rapidly
| The American party have 25,500 votes registered
in'the city, and Fremont will not poll 10000 out
of the 10000 votes in the city. Tue Republicans
boast in the most ludicrous manner, and assert
that they will carry New York by 75 900 plurality,
where the chances now that they will lose that
State; they even claim Pennsylvania, where they
hardly dare call a ratification meeting In Phila-
delphia, their opponents say they cannot poll 900
votes, and Fremont man there claimed Ito me)
only 5000. Now, there are 10000 votes in that
city, and admitting that they are about equally d-
vided, between Fillmore and Buchanan, then Fre-
mont goes out of the city with %, 900 against him.
and where can he possibly obtain that in the coun-
trys ....
1t is simply ridiculous to claim the State, the
Americans have 20, 500 recorded yotes in the CITY,
and will probably, with the old Wings, poll so 900
to $4,000. | hope and expect to see the old
line Wings in all the States fall into line in his
support, and if they will do so, cordially and fully
he will be elected by the Colleges the Wings
hold the balance of power in at least l3 States,

wanting. The Democrats at the South are trying
to produce the impression that the fight is between
Buchanan and Fremont and that all votes for Fill
more are thrown away, and fear they are doing
SO with more or less success The fact is not So
and the fight will be between Fillmore and FIRE.
mont, but, at any rate, votes at the South for Fill
more are rs much against Fremont as those for
Buchanan. Fremont viii have no ticket there
and consequently divided vote does not help him
as it might do in some of the Free States.
