Where The Republicans are From.

1t is question frequently asked, nowadays, by
all parties, From which party do the Republicans
hai?" Both parties have lost something by the or
ganzation In the States of New York, Pennsyl
vana Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. where great
proportion of the population is of foreign birth, the
loss to the American party is nothing at all, com
pared with the wholesale stampede from the ranks Of
the Democracy The Americans gave vantage
ground in these States, when they organized upon a
platform which excluded the foreign element in the
population. But Douglas, and Richardson, and the
Nebraska Bill, have lighted magazine that has
disrupted the once proud Democratic party whose
boast has been that it marshaed in its ranks the
nations of the earth. The Republican element is
the legitimate offspring of the Democratic party.
The principle has for years been cherished in the bo
SONS of its adherents. The Republican sentiment
slumbered in the breasts of those whom the Democ-
racy have delighted to honor. Douglas, Atchison

Look at the result of the late State election in
Democratic Iowa. The Republicans swept every
thing before them, like the Simoom. The Democrats

there is not possibility of Illinois going for
Buchanan but that at the time there is scarcely
hope of its going for Fillmore. The writer thinks
Fremont will carry the State but assures us that the
sober second thought has already set in in favor of
Fillmore, and that the State may yet be carried for
him.
