. Mr.. FLLMoRE's CHAScEs.-The WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, an Old Line Wing paper, writes
concerning the Presidential prospects as fol-
lows:
Permit me to say few words on politics
and the presidency. Buchanan's friends are
getting discouraged at the advces from the
South where he is evidently declining very
generally and very fast. What he loses, of
course Fillmore gains; not only because the
latter is highly popular 10 that section but
also because all who leave Buchanan
Wings or Democrats, have no one else to
go TO but Fillmore for Fremont will prob.
ably not run n ticket or nominate electors in
any portion of the South.
Mr.. Filmore's prospects are daily and
rapidly improving, and if the old line Wings
will only come ont en- masse for him his
election is certain. Those of Maryland have
already done so, and so will those of Virgin
ia ut their Convention at Richmond on the
18th instant. ! have n letter from a very
distinguished and leading politician of Vir-
glnia, which says the Wings generally are
moving for him, ind he feels confident of
Virginia going in his favor. Such action
will be promptly followed by the Wings in
other States.
The old line Wings hold the balance of
power in at least tpeire Staies With three
tickets in the field, is ther any doubt that
their votes in favor of Fillmore would not
carry New York! And | ask you ii they
could not, by unity of action, in like manner
carry Pennsylvania-and also, could not
both Massachusetts and New Jersey be car
ried for hin, in the same way!
d the Southern States. he will, even MS
matters now stand, carry Delaware, Mary
land, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkan.
sas, and Louisiana, and probably Virginia,
certainly the latter, with cordial support
from the Wings. If Mr.. Buchanan continues
to retrograde ut the South, and loses his
prestige there 80 that general impression
prevails that he cannot succeed, Mr.. Fillmore
will sweep every Southern State; and then
with New York, or with twenty votes
elsewhere in the free States, he will be
elected.

MEETINGS IN NEW YORK.

There have beenrecently tremendous Full
more and DonelsoA meetings in Brooklyn,
Troy, and other cities in New York. The
American watch-6res are burning brightly all
over the State, the people being more thor
oughly aroused than they have been since
1910.
w. find in the New York Express the fol-
lowing letter from Gen. F. X. Zollicoffer,
who was invited to attend the meeting in
Brooklyn:
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1856.
Dear Sir:-l regret that enfeebled health
within the last few days, will scarcely allow
me 10 be present ut the mss meeting of the
friends Of Fillmore and Donelson, to be
held in the city of Brooklyn, on the Gath
inst. .rr s
1t would give me the greatest pleasure to
be able personally to greet the patriotic
masses who will assemble IN that occasion,
and 10 assure them. on the spot, with what
enthusiastic ardor the people of Tennessee
appreciate the lofty national sentiments and
public acts of the glorious son of New York,
whose Washington-Ike Administration gave
to his storm tossed country return of peace,
tranquility, stability and fraterna regard.
T, will not undertake to portray to you how
much am rejoicen, that since he landed on
his native shore at midnight, amid the mid
night darkness of National American hopes,
and the midnight storm and gloom with
which the weird spirits of sectional conflict
had wrapped the American Uuion-since he
made that meteor line of brilliant, courage
h<.a~ thrsll,n.r ot,aas.ltaa fam tho Rata
nv at New York TO his home at Buffalo-the
glorious light OF love of the Union has been
lii UP on every hill top and in every valley
Of our wide spread country, and millions oil
conservative home loving patriots, through
every latitude from Maine to Texas, too busy
at the plough handles in the workshops,
and in the maris of trade to engage in ordi
nary times, actively in politics, have joyous
ly hailed this sublime moral illumination,
and are now responding, making the heavens
reyerberate with heartfelt plaudits for the
man of the million, Millard Fillmore. The
time has come when the thoughtless or de.
signing leaders of sectional alienation and
war, must BE- overthrown, or they will over
throw the Government When the Pres.
idency is once absolutely staked and carried
in n sectional contest, victory, either to the
North or to the South, will survive the Un-
ion but brief space of time! May the PEG.
pie, everywhere, promptly arouse to the dan.
gers which beset us, and bring back the
country to the calm and fraternal feelings
which animated our fathers in the earlier and
purer days of the republic! Tennessee will
stand by New York; rest assured of that
Men Of the North and men Of the South, in
all The States, should again strike hands as
brothers. II will, fervently trust, be so.
Pardon my prolixiiy, and be so good as to
repent to the Committee for whom you act,

find myself unable to be with them.
Very respectfully.

The WAsHINGToS UNION EsDoRsEs Mr..
FnLLMoRE.-Mr. Fillmore's speech at Alba.
ny rings through the land like a'rumpetcall.
1t is winning golden opinions wherever it is
read. Even the Washington Union, the ma
tional organ of the Buchanan Democracy,
speaks of il as "an eloquent and scathing
denuncia!ion of sectonalism." 1t further
says
"Mr. Fillmore has exposed the dsunion
character of the Black Republican nomna-
ton with great ciearness and boidness. His
argument il unanswerable. The Philadel
phia (FremonD Convention took the first
step in the work of dIsunion. 1t ignored an
entire section of the coEfederacy, and de.
clared by its action that, to he a citizen Of
a Southern State, is disqualification for
President OF Vice President. This is moth
ing more nor less than undsguised disunion,
and we rejoice that Mr.. Fillmore has raised
his voice against so dangerous an experiment
npon the strength of our confederation. 10
this portion OF his speech we invite the earn
est attention of every lover OF his country"
