STAMPEDE OF THE Observation-Disclosures Har-
rison, ESQ.,, prominent Democrat of New York,
has issued an address to his fellow Democrats,
in which he states that he has just returned from
tour of the central counties, and finds that the
leaders of the Democracy have all gone over to
Fremont, and that there is no hope of carrying
the State for Buchanan. In this condition OF
affairs he urges his political friends to vote for
Fillmore, and thus save the State from Fremont.
This he thinks, will throw the election into the
House of Representatives, when he is confident
Buchanan will be elected, or,if not, Breckenridge
will he the President.

such freedom that it would be improper to re-
produce their comments while his trial is in
progress. Mr. Gardener, who was his compan-
ion in the ARRAY, and is now witness on the
