Some "Sagnicht" Editor having attempted
to tioist Mr.. Fillmore's votes on the question
of receiriHg Abolition petitions into an ex.
preston Of opinion in favor of the thing
prayed for, the Washington Organ" looks
into the Record of the Congressional proceed,
ings as found in the Globe and the House
Journal of 2lst January, ls42, (page 1853 Of
the former, page 259 of the latter,) and finds
the charge deliberate Justification Of the
factsl Instead Of being vote to "extend the
privileges of citizenship to persons Of color, "
it was merely a cote against laying on he
table motion to receive petition praying for
such extensionl For this Southern men as
well as NorAern men voted as Mr.. Fillmore
did, among whom was the present lmmacu.
late Attorney General, Mr.. Cushing! But
this is not all. This two-edged sword cuts
into the very fat of Democracy and spares not
even the Democratic candidate for the pres.
dency, james Buchandn-as will be seen
from the following statement Says the
Organ"
"No man contended more earnestly for this
same right Of petition, nav, for receiuing ado
tition petitions, than did MR.. BUCHANAN,
the present Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. He not only voted to receive,
but presented 10 the Staie sundry petitions to
abolish slarery from the District Of Columbia.

But, Gas Mr.. Buchanan contended,) the re-
ceiving and lging these petitions on .he table
is very different thing from sanctioning the
objects Of the petitioners. On the I'd March,
1886, Mr.. Buchanan, having presented peti.
ton to abolish slavery in the District Of Co.
lumbia, complained of the view certain South
ern men teok of it, and said:
"Let it once be understood that the sacred
right of pilition and the cause of the aboli.
tionists must rise or must fall together, and
the consequences may be fatal. | would,
tnerefore,warn Southern gentlemen to reflect
seriously n what situation they place their
friends of the North by insisting that this
petition shall not he received" Register of
Debates, 1886. p. 6SI)

from South Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun,) not to

the District OF Columbia-(seep p. IS Register
Of Debites.)
Andon the 18th of February, same year,
the Pennsylvania memorial for the abolition
of slTery in the District of Columbia being
called up, Mr.. Buchanan said:
"He believed that the Senate had not the
power to refuse TO receive the petition."-

Fusion OF THE FAorIoSs.-The leaders Of
the two factions Of the democratic party of
New York, succeeded in getting together at
Syracuse few days since, and formed the
following ticket:
For Governor, Judge Amasa ]. Parker,
Soft; Lieut. Governor, Judge Vanderbilt,
Hard; for Canal Commissioner, John l.. Rus
sell, Soft; State Prison Inspector, Mat. Bren-
nan, Hard; Clerk of Court of Appeals, h. G..
Warner, Hard; Presidential Electors at large,
Addison Gardner, Soft, and David l.. Sey-
mour, Hard, with half and half mixture of
the Shells in the list of State electors.
This fusion will have one good effect-it
will prevent the entire absorption of the
soft shells BY the Black Republicans, and
thereby increase Mr. FiImore's prospects for
n plurality in that State.

Especially in this the case with his supporters
here in the South. The contest being be.
tween Fillmore and Fremont at the North,
we are the party that is fighting the battles
of the Constitution, the Union, and the
Rights of the States. Under these circum-
stances, what is the duty OF the Democrats of
the S'uth? How can they consent, if they
love the South and love the Union, to throw
away their votes on third candidate who
stands no chance of election, and that, too, in
a crisis so important and perious ms the
present? We repeat our appeal to them to
pause in their factious course. reflect upon its
Consequences, and then rally, as all Southern
patriots should, to the standard of Willard
Fillmore. Will they not do il?

correspondent ofthe New York Tribune tells
It's own story. The North is giving up the
contest for Buchanan. Will Southern De-

COLUMBUS, July %, 1856.
The Border Rutiian Democrats of this citv
and vicinity. aided slightly by the Old-Lne
Wings, held Fillmore ratification meeting
W this city on the evening Of Friday last
The remarkable features of the meeting
were that the whole affair had been cut and
dried before hand oy the Democrats-the
Siat'sman had urged it on, publishing the
notices, &c. The resolutions were drawn
up by 4 leading Buchanan man, and all the
applause and enthusiasm came from that par
ty, which was represented by Sam Cox,
former editor of The Statesman, ]. p. Slough,
Secretary of the Democratic State Central
Committee, and others equally well known
rs strong Loco Focos.
These men not only made themselves
conpicuous in the meeting by applauding the
speeches, but actually roted pah the FIJI.
more men, endorsing the resolutions in The
heartisa manner. This was more especial
~ noticeable in regard TO Mr.. Slough, who
yielded himself up to the widest and most
vehement enthusiasm whenever Fillmore's
name was mentioned, or an argument addu-
ced in his favor.
The Buehanantes here look upon the de.
fection Of Mr.. Slough as especially ominous,
as he has held, and now holds, prominent
position in the party, and certainly Yields
much influence. Should these two parties
fuse rs these facts would seem 10 Indicate,
cannot say what effect it will have on the
prospects of Fremont. These statements
are true. as may be seen by reference to The
Ohio State Journal or the Cincinnati Com.
mercial, and the gentlemen referred to will
hardly dare to deny it. They will probably
keep quiet about this sudden withdrawal
from the party for short time, until they
see their way clear, and then come out as
converts to the cause of Fillmore and Donel.
son. II is to oe hoped that this course will
not be adopted by the prominent men Of the
Democratic party in other States, MS It might
work evil to our cause. REPUBLICAN
Thus, says the Richmond Wing, proof up
on proof aceumuates that the contest
throughout the Northern States is exclusive
ly and emphatically between Fillmore and
Fremont! Buchanan is hardly heard of in
the race-his friends are deserving him by
thousands everywhere-the freesoilish por-
lion going over to Fremont and the con.
sentative portion going over to Fillmore
In view of this now established and solemn
fact, what is the first great duty of Southern
Democrats! Will they consent, under the
selfish instructions and petty dicta.ion of
their party leaders and managers, to be drv-
en- to throwing away their votes upon Buch-
aLan, when it is evident that every vote
given to the Cincinnati nominee is virtually
vote given to Fremont.
