BUCHANAN Stock DEcLINNc.-The STAN.
pede Of the Alien voters in the North and
Northwest, from Buchanan to Fremont, is
beginning to open the eyes Of his followers,
and they almost imagine they see the hand
writing on the wall. They feel that the loss
of that vote sounds the death knell to all
their fond anticipations of spois, for they
know that its loss seals Buchanah's fate; and
places the contest between Mr. Fillmore and
Fremont; and this will be patent to the whole
country in very brief period. The Germans
of the Northwest, in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, and Wisconsin, and they compose
nearly half the voting population of those
States, are already holding immense meetings,
and ratifying en- masse the nomination Of
Fremont And Robert Emmitt, the great
leader of the Irish in this country, is leading

Stare labor" These are the sentiments of the

FILLMORE MUsr BE ELECTED OR THE Ux.
ION BE DTSsoLvED.-To any one who calmly
surveys the field of politics, as now mapped
out between the eontending parties, the con.
clusion is irresistible that unless Millard
Fillmore is elected President Of the United
States in November next, the Union tciH Be
dissolred in less than four yeare
If Fremont be elected, the South will be
exasperated beyond endurance by the meas
ures which will individually and of necessity
characterize the administration of Black
Republican, and practical Disunionist, such
rs his published declarations show him to be.
If Buchanan be chosen, it is Admitted
that his administration will be but contu.
uation of that of Franklin Pierce, who found
the country free from all exciting questions.
and has already brought it to the verge Of
anarchy. 1t is plain too, that he will fostor
and cherish the Free Soil Democracy of the
North and the DsuniOn Democracy of the
South. Now if Democratic administration
of our public affairs, has, in three years and
a half, by an unwise and treacherous policy,
brought the Union to deaths door, what NAV
be expected Of a continuation of that admin
istration for eight years! The answer is
plain. The jacObinica and fanatical spirits
of the North and South cannot be longer
as they will be if Buchanan is
elected, without sealing the fate of the Re-
public.
These are words Of truth and soberness,
and we solemnly ask every conservative, I'm.
man in the land, by whatever par
ty name he may be known, to read, ponder,
and decide for his country and for the Union
of Oui fathers.
