safest chance for preserving the of the country
greatly endangered both at home and abroad" and there
FORE he holds it to be the duty of those who favor
OF that object to assist in his election He says further
that the nomination of Buchanan for the presidency de-
termined" his in relation to the governorhp"
Mssouri-he therefore accepts the nomination.
There something mysterious in old Bulon support Of
old Buck And then, why should the nomination Of Buck
have decided an effect upon his acceptance of nomna
tion for governor The whole thing needs explanation
Richmond IPAig
We think the nomination of Colonel Fremont furnishes
explanation" which relieves Colonel Benons course
of all "mystery" That he is opposed TO the election OF
his sonn-law will be credited by no one that he
cognzan of the scheme which has resulted in his
inaws nomination will hardly questioned Ifhe draw
of from the democratic electoral ckein Missouri votes for
the Benton electoral ticket and thereby give the Fillmore
electoral ticket plurality he will increase the chances

(which he cannot be without stuying hmsel) he would
decline TO for governor and have the Benton electoral
ticket withdrawn. His support of Mr. Buchanan however
