1t is extremely doubtful after all if the
Fillmoreites of Pennsylvania will 60 over in
body to Buchanan. There has been a
great deal Of bantering and bargaining, brib-
cry and corruption, to say nothing of the
Forneycations committed, within the last
ten days ; but it is easier to buy the gamb-
ling leaders of the American party, than the
honest rank and file. 1t is said a comprom-
ise has been proposed between the Fillmore
and Buchanan men, placing the two parties
very much in the position in which Mr.. Fill

Of STOPPING to kiss the Pope's toe, which the
Ex-President thought would be unbecoming
on the part of the late Chief Of .'the greatest
nation in the world he proposed to salute
His Holiness on the cheek: to which the
Pope objected. that that would be a greater
condescension on his part than for the Ex-
President to kiss his toe but as Mr.. Fill
more was known to he u 'Compromise Man.
be would accommodate him by yielding a
spot of his sacred persons somewhere between
tn, two extremes or, in other words, that
the Ex-President might do what ''the Topaz
boy told Ben Skinner to do to him.
THE above capital story comes to us from
distinguished source, but We scarcely need
say we do not believe that our spirited FIX
President accepted the proposition of His
Holiness. He may havea rage for comprom-
ises, as Daniel Webster had passion for
preserving the Union-but he never accepted

How IT WAS DoNE.-Some interesting facts
in connection with the late election in Penn

that one of the largest banking houses in

at the New York Hotel were held and that

about one thousand dollars each. and max

How Buchanan's Governor Of
Kansas Manages

A correspondent Of the N. Y. TRIBUNE
says:
/ Gov. Geary keeps most watchful eye
on emigration from the Free States. As
the Border Ruffians have practically
closed the navigation Of the Missouri
River, overland emigration by Nebraska
has been the only alternative. Spurred
on BY the Border Ruffians, who groan
over the advent of every Free-State emf
grant to the Territory, the Governor has
kept the greater part of his force Of
dragons securing the country in that
direction.

and hedged out of Kansas by the Border

and every night last week their arms

nose. This company came in guise in
which no Frce-State party ever entered
the Territory, and every evening last
week any person about Lecompton VINO
was not deaf, could have heard them
swearing about what they were going to

Encouraging from Pennsylvania.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Trib-
une writes from Chambersburg. Pa, un-
der date of the gath, and gives very
encouraging view Of the political field.
He says the Fremont vote will be large
ly increased on Tuesday next. and will
carry the State. The following is the
closing part Of his letter
Depend upon il, too. that ice rM poH
our fnH rote Franklin cast but 6. 700
on the 18th on the 4th of November
we will poll 7.4OO, and the Buccaneers
cannot increase their vote 100. We will
beat Mr.. Buchanan 500 in this his native
county; he will be beaten in Adams
800; in Bedford 100 ; in Somerset L.
OGO; and in Fulton the Bnchaneer ma
jority will be reduced. Count us certain
for gain of |. 200 on the vote Of the
18th in the counties above mentioned.
for we have the strength, and it will be
put forth. In Dauphin We will gain
600. in Lancaster 1900, in Perry 500,
in Huntingdon and Blair 600. in Cam
bria 800, and in the Northampton region
it will be morally impossible to crowd
the affecting figures Of the 18th upon us
again. Bad as York was at the last cleo
ton, it will not improve. as the Fillmore
leaders there are Buccaneers, and will
exert their best energies tie prevent
union. The East and South alone will
more than overcome the fraudulent ma
jority of the l4th, and the North and
West will give us from 5000 to II 900
more to swell the majority.
Be of good cheer, friends in the En-
pire State! Let your mighty State be
but as true as Pennsylvania in the strug.
gle just at hand. and the glorious flag of
Constitutional Freedom shall wave in
triumph over our beloved land on the 5,h
of November next.

What the Press SAYS Politically.

The Herald has an article on the ssdisunion
game of the Southern Democracy, and the
magnificent programme for the extension of
slavery On the first topic it says =
"All of these Southern secession move
ments, discussions, disunion speeches. and
threatening letters, are directed to the one
common object of frightening the North into
submission; but we must now admit that
the magnificent slavery programme Of the
South will fully account for every expedient
of intimidation they have adopted.
''The whole game Of the Southern disunion
democracy in this campaign may be resolved
into two simple objects First, to divide
the North, and secondly to brighten the
North
The programme of the Democracy, it says,
''may be briefly reduced to the following
splendid scheme for the extension of slavery
and an increase in the price of niggers. The
admission Of
!. Kansas as a slave State.
2. Nicaragua as slave State.
3. Cuba as slave State
4. Another slave State from Texas
5. The half Of California as slave State.

REV. JAMES GILLPArRICK's LETTER.
We ask our readers to peruse the letter
which we publish to-day from Mr.. Gill
patrick. 1t is the letter of an honest,
candid, intelligent, we'll disposed, peace
able and conservative citizen Neither
an alarmist nor an agitator. No one &C.
quainted with the writer, and mostadult
persons in this county are, will questio n
for moment his honesty, his integrity.
or his word. Why then do not men
believe. Heretofore, some quibblcrs,
poor specimens Of humanity we ac-
knowledge-have doubted the genuine
ness of Mr.. G illpatrick's letters. Men
who dare not question his word, and re.
ligiously believe in his truthfulness, have
to escape from the position
which truths coming from such quar-
ter placed them, and the party to which
they belonged, by doubling the genuine
ness of these letters, and cavilling about
their being gotten up for effect. Such
men resemble the unbelieving Jews in
Christ's day. who trusted in Moses, and
yet did not believe in his writings. To
all such men, if they will call at our Of
flee, we will show them the manuscript
letter of Mr.. Fitzpatrick, and let them
Judge of its genuinencss.
