"Vote for Buchanan to Beat FIRE.
mOQt."

This has been about the only reason
offered by democrats during the pres
ent canvass why Americans should
support the Cincinnati nominee. -
The Washington Organ, abiding to
this deceptious talk, shows conclu-
siyely that Fremont stands no chance,
and says:
"We present these calculations and
opinion for this purpose, to-wit: To
show the South that there is not the
slightest probability Of Col. Fremont's
election, and therefore they may sup
port Mr.. Fillmore without the hazards
which political demagogues have
manufactured to brighten them into
the support of the Cincinnati nomi-
nees. We trust these views may OPP
crate as soporfic and enable the
Toombs', Wises, Masons, and all that
class Of nervcGs politicians, to so to
bed and sleep quietly without posting
sentinels to give notice of apprehend-
ed invasion
Indeed we have never supposed
that there was the least probability OF
Fremont's election, nor do we believe
that the sham Democratic leaders ever
thought be had any chance Of success.
They have only held him as "a raw
head and bloody bones" to frighten
the South into the support Of Buchan-
an, whom not one single Southern pa
triot Of ordinary sense would desire to
see elected, except az the only means
of defeating Fremont. And now that
the election in Pennsylvania and lndi-
ana prove that these leaders have
been alarming the South without the
slightest cause that their pretended
fears Of Fremont's success were as
sumed to concentrate Southern suf-
frage upon the "squatter sovereign"
candidates; noW that Fremont's pros
poets are scattered TO the winds, and
the loaming and ranting of the South
crn Hotspurs are no longer appropri-
ate, what game will these corrupt
wire workers play to carry out their
purposes? Can they any longer draw
Off the public nina from an examina-
ton Of the true points in issue?
Down to this time. the only argu-
mcnt throughout the South has been,
that they must unite upon Buchanan
to defeat Fremont--that unless he was
defeated, the rights of the South would
be destroyed---and this argument has
caused thousands upon thousands of
men in the South to fall into the snare
set for them, and to take sides with
Buchanan, lest their peculiar institu
tons should be annihilated The fal-
sity Of these pretexts is now apparent
there is not, and never has been, the
probability of Fromont's
election, though mere glance at the
surface of the political world in the
North has led thousands to think there
was a chance of his success. Orators
and editors at the South have made
this point the stand from which they
have alarmed the sensitiveness of their
people, until rebellion and revolution
have been preached as the only escape
from the domination of the Republic
ans, and therefore, as they declared,
the only means of selEpreservation
Beautiful statesmen, these men 49,
The local elections in only three
States have shown that, as we have
always ISSUED them, there was not
the least danger of Fremont's election.
Southern agitators are unhorsed.--
What can they say now in excuse of
that phrenzy they have exhibited and
have communicated to the people,
viii they now permit Southern men
calmly to canvass and examine the
true points in issue between the Con-
Americans and the filibust-
ering "squatter sovereigns3" The
ghost of the pathfinder" having now
no terrors, will they take a look at
the political features Of Old "Squatter
